So I want to address something that has been bothering me. As many of you know, I am currently studying to be a registered dietitian. I have learned a lot about nutrition and yet there is still so much I dont know and understand. Research is continuing making new discoveries and the abundance of knowledge we already have is still growing... which excites me. With that, I am learning nutrition at a cellular level and have a decent understanding of how nutrients are used in the body. One of my instructors would often tell our class that we could spend months is learning about a single vitamin or mineral because our bodies utilization of them is so complex... It is one of those situations where you realize that the more you learn the less you know. So, it upsets me when people with little to no understanding of nutrition and health go around telling people that they can help them be healthy... Usually with some sort of supplement!! The foundation of health should start with diet and exercise!! Supplements arent necessarily a bad thing but they should not be the foundation of your nutritional health. They do little to promote good habits and often are unnecessary. I am not perfect and I dont have all the answers but I felt this was important to address.
