(NewsTarget) A continual supply of quality nutrients are required every day to fuel our metabolic machinery. Natural diet and whole food based multi-vitamins are the best source of the vitamins and minerals we need to thrive. Millions of people continue to subside on a diet dominated by processed junk food and fail to eat the minimum servings of fresh vegetables and fruits needed to prevent chronic illness. Our body has many survival mechanisms that provide for short term nutritional shortfalls. After a period of years and decades the lack of vitamins and minerals cause our body to age and set the stage for heart disease, diabetes, dementia and cancer. Fortunately there are important steps we can take to fight cellular aging and dramatically lower disease risk.

Complete Nutrition is Required to Promote Vibrant Health
The heart requires a constant supply of energy and nutrients to function optimally. Specific nutrients such as vitamin C are critical to build collagen and provide elasticity to the arteries that supply blood to the heart. Magnesium helps maintain electrical activity and reduces blood pressure so the muscle can beat efficiently. When we are deficient in these nutrients over time, heart function declines and risk of a heart attack rises quickly.

Daily Multi Vitamin Use Lowers Heart Attack Risk by 41%
The results of a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition provides evidence that taking a multi vitamin can have a critical impact on heart disease risk. Women who took a high potency multi vitamin over a 5 year period were found to lower their risk of a heart attack by 41% compared to women who didn`t supplement. These results demonstrate the importance of proper nutrition to our health.

Essential Nutrients Provided by Natural Diet
The results of this study highlight the importance of vitamins and minerals to our health. A potent multi vitamin is a good way to ensure you get the minimum requirements for the vitamins and minerals that are commonly available in a single tablet. Nature provides a bounty of additional nutrients in whole foods that simply aren`t available in a pill. Many of the nutrients that exist in natural foods have yet to be discovered and undoubtedly have a major impact on our health when eaten as part of a whole food diet.

Most People are in a `Phytonutrient Gap`
The vast majority of people are grossly deficient in nutrients from their diet. This places them at increased risk of immune related disease ranging from the common cold to many forms of cancer and other serious illness. Details from ` America's Phytonutrient Report: Immune Health by Color` demonstrates that 8 out of 10 people fall short in meeting the minimum daily requirements for vegetables and fruits and lack basic support for optimal immune function. Specifically the report finds that people are deficient in vitamins A, C, D, E, zinc and selenium that provide the structure for a healthy immune response.

To ensure you benefit from the full matrix of nutrients, eat a diet with plenty of fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds. Cut the processed foods, sugar and hydrogenated fats that are known to promote disease. Find a multi vitamin that is made from organic food sources for maximum health benefit and stay away from synthetic varieties that are full of chemicals and toxins. Take control of your health with a natural diet of whole foods and supplement daily with a quality multi vitamin.
