Question: From Mohd

I have few questions regarding my diet and nutritional vitamin and health supplements.  First of all I’m a 23 years old male. I have a problem in eating vegetables and fruits. In my daily diet I don’t eat any. It is very rare that I eat vegetables or fruits.  Can you guide me regarding what supplements I should take in order to have a good and healthy body. I mean the supplements to cover all the losses. I hope to hear from you soon.

Response From Brett:

Hi Mohd

Ok, the first thing to understand and accept here is that nutritional health supplements, even the absolutely most effective formulas out there,  ARE NOT going to replace the need for a regular intake of fruits and vegetables in your diet !

That’s why they are called supplements - because they are supplemental to a ‘normal’ functioning body (and normal body functioning rests on the comprehensive nutritional foundation provided through a widely varied and healthy diet.) There is no way around this (despite what some ‘leading’ supplement companies ‘indirectly imply’ in their clever marketing presentations and literature!)

The first thing that came into mind when your email arrived Mohd was ‘why’ are you unable to eat fruits and vegetables? Is it a taste issue, a phobia, a medical condition(s) – there can be many potential reasons, physiological and/or physical. I am happy to try and help you change this part of this situation, if you wish. Just email me again Mohd and once I have more information as to the exact cause(s) of your poor diet I can offer you more than what I am going to write in this initial answer.

Based on my knowledge and experience gained from working in the nutritional supplement industry, there are only two supplements which I advise you to take.

The first is a premium grade multi nutrient health supplement called ‘Total Balance’.

Having reviewed and evaluated hundreds of supplements I can assure you that Total Balance is an amazing affordable supplement which out performs EVERY OTHER health / vitamin supplement currently available (and I mean that!!) – particularly the ’so-called’ elite market leaders.

Total Balance offers fantastic value for money in comparison to ALL competitors – none of which come close to matching the efficacy of Total Balance’s sophisticated formula.

There is a lot of information and proof back on the main site of nutritional-supplement-truths.com which backs up my claims regarding Total Balance . If you would like to follow up, I think the best place to start is by reading my in-depth  review of Total Balance

I have personally used Total Balance as the core of my supplement regime since 2000 (my mum, who turns 80 this year, has used it for the past 6 years with FANTASTIC results (particularly blood pressure, energy and cholesterol), along with my uncle, sister, niece and nephew!) Obviously I wouldn’t trust my health and longevity to anything other than the very best supplement formula out there.

The second supplement you should take is called Omega 3/DHA Fish Oil.

This is a special type of fish oil which comes in an esterfied form (rather than the common (cheaper) triglyceride form).  These days everybody should be taking fish oil as a normal part of their dietary intake.

There are so many medicinal benefits of fish oil supplements

>> Heart
>> Brain
>> Joints
>> Skin
>> Immune system
>> Vision
>> Digestion

(the ‘DHA’ component of the oil is the most important).

This Omega 3/DHA Fish Oil comes  from the Xtend-Life company which is also the manufacturer of Total Balance.  Xtend-Life is a medium sized, family owned premier manufacturer of unique natural supplements and skin care products. They are based in New Zealand. Their fish oil has a very high level of DHA – which is crucial in getting stronger health benefits.

But, Mohd I want to stress to you that these two elite supplements are NOT A REPLACEMENT in any way to a really good diet including fruits and vegetables.

They are not going to ‘fix’ everything in order to allow a person to eat processed and junk food all day and still remain healthy! They need a ‘decent’ dietary regime in order to work themselves.  A sound dietary regime, in connection with high ‘pure’ fluid intake and regular moderate exercise is the type of foundation any health supplement needs to achieve optimal efficacy  and synergy from its ingredient base.

Just ‘popping’ these supplements and continuing to eat virtually no fruits and vegetables will not cut it. Despite the nutritional support which comes from using these sophisticated nutritional / dietary supplements (especially Total Balance), if you continue to avoid fruits and vegetables your health will soon begin to break down with serious degenerative disease (and it’s highly likely the pre-conditions for this are already in place inside you  Mohd).

Your current diet is speeding up your rate of aging!!! Premature aging creates precursors which set the stage for the  onset of degenerative disease (all those well known 21st century aging conditions  like heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, strokes, cancers etc etc – the levels of which are increasing year by year and at earlier and earlier ages!).

Modern lifestyles and (inescapable) environmental / dietary toxins and stressors, which are by-products of 21st century ‘civilized’ living, are the chief culprits of PREMATURE AGING. So, more than ever we need to counter this situation by increasing ‘good’ nutritional support from our regular diets and that MUST be largely based on increased intake of fruits and vegetables.  Raw vegetables are preferable because the nutritional composition stays in tact. Cooking (of any kind) changes it and (to varying degrees) destroys valuable and essential nutrients (for example: enzymes).

Mohd, sorry  to have been so blunt in my response here but your nutritional situation is of concern and unfortunately it represents an increasing trend in the health of mainstream society in western countries.

If you currently have any resulting conditions which have already developed then I could advise on other supplement formulas or ingredients to help those areas more specifically, but other than that, at this time, Total Balance Men’s ‘Premium version’ (the one I use) and the Esterfied Omega 3 Fish Oil are what I advise, along with the introduction of fresh fruits and primarily raw vegetables into your diet (subject to the reasons why you currently don’t eat any).

Mohd, these links will take you to the product pages for these supplements on the Xtend-Life website. They can only be purchased online – they are not available in stores anywhere worldwide due to their complexity.
