Achieving Optimal Health Is Easier Than You Think

Think of your last meal. Did you stop and grab something quick, or did you make it at home? Did it include fresh, natural ingredients, or did it come from the freezer? Nowadays, many people struggle to find the balance between eating healthy and convenience.

As a result, the modern diet has become one that is high in refined sugar and trans fat, and low in essential nutrients. While regularly eating fast, processed, or frozen foods may be convenient, there are plenty of people who are willing to make the extra effort to live a healthier life.

Not to make things complicated, but even if you are committed to eating 100% natural foods and maintaining a balanced diet, odds are you still aren't getting all of the nutrients your body needs to achieve optimal health. Well, then, if a natural, balanced diet won't even give us the nutrients we need, how are we supposed to achieve optimal health? We're glad you asked, because it's a lot easier than you may think.

Have You Heard of Nutraceuticals?

Nutraceuticals is a term that combines both "nutrition" and "pharmaceuticals". In short, nutraceuticals are concentrated forms of natural nutrition, sourced from 100% whole foods. Generally, nutraceuticals come as a powder, capsule, or pill that you can incorporate into your daily diet to help you get the nutrition you're missing. Not only that, but nutraceuticals help you return to the basics, getting to foods that are naturally dense in nutrition.

Types of Nutraceuticals

Nutraceuticals come in all sorts of varieties, many of which you probably already know. Have you heard of vitamins? What about minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, amino acids, and omegas? These, and more, are all types of nutraceuticals. So, back to the question we started with: how do we achieve optimal health? It really is simpler than you may think: just add nutraceuticals! Of course, eating well, taking time to relax, and exercising daily are also extremely important, but nutraceuticals play a key role in achieving optimal health. To help you get a better understanding of how you can benefit from nutraceuticals, let's dive into a few of the nutraceuticals we just mentioned:

Antioxidants

As we mentioned earlier, the modern diet is one that is filled with sugar and preservatives, and one that lacks essential nutrition. However, a poor diet isn't the only thing affecting human health these days. Pollution, stress, plastics, and lack of exercise are also major contributing factors. As a result, humans are becoming exposed to greater amounts of free radicals, and our bodies' natural ability to create antioxidants to fight against these free radicals just isn't cutting it. But, we can help our bodies by taking antioxidant supplements. Antioxidants are known as the health "powerhouse". Not only do they help fight against the common causes of cancer, but they can build up and support a healthy immune system, fight against the signs of aging, and help repair damaged cells. You can find these powerhouse antioxidants in lots of yummy foods, such as dark chocolate, strawberries, blueberries, spinach, kale, beans, and cranberries. But, unless you eat enough of these foods every day, you will probably need to find another way to get your antioxidants. That's where our Tohi Defend Immunity Supplement comes in. Taking these supplements is quick and easy, and they help ensure that you get the amount of antioxidants your body needs to fight free radicals and stay healthy.

Omegas

You may have heard that fatty fish or fish oil pills are an excellent source of omega-3, and it's true! However, you probably aren't eating fish every day, and not everyone likes the fishy smell or aftertaste of fish oil pills. Even if you eat fish regularly, it is important to note that too much fish can be a bad thing. Sure, they contain omega-3s, which are great, but many types of fish also contain mercury, often as a result of industrial pollution. If you are trying to get your omega-3 dosage only by eating fish, there is a chance that you may end up with mercury poisoning. We obviously don't want you to get sick, so how can you safely add omegas to your daily diet? At Rocky Mountain Oils, we are pleased to offer our Tohi Enhance Ultimate Omega Supplement, which combines the powers of several omegas with vitamins to help enhance your overall health and nutritional regimen. Our Enhance supplement is also completely mercury-free, so you never have to worry about developing negative side effects while trying to improve your health. With just two softgels each morning, you can not only get the omega-3s that your body needs, but also six other essential omegas and vitamins. Omegas, especially omega-3, are right up there with antioxidants, providing your body with a plethora of health benefits. Omegas can help reduce your chances of cancer and heart disease by fighting inflammation. They can also reduce insulin resistance, control blood clots, and improve your cell membranes. Omegas are also excellent for hair, skin, and nail health, and for promoting good brain function. To learn more about our omega-infused Enhance supplement, click here!

Probiotics

Probiotics are a combination of bacteria and yeast that help repair and build up your digestive tract. Many people don't realize that unwanted bacteria and waste can build up in your digestive tract and stay there for years. Having even a slightly damaged or backed-up digestive tract can throw off more than just your regularity. It can lead to lower metabolism, an inability to properly absorb vitamins and minerals, and a weakened immune system. Consuming nutraceuticals with probiotics can help you treat not just the symptoms of bad gut health, but also the source of the problem. One of the nutraceuticals you can take is our Tohi Replenish Probiotic Supplement. This unique supplement contains 11 billion live cultures and nine different strains of probiotics, making it easy to balance your gut's natural flora, rebuild healthy gut bacteria, and reduce the amount of bad bacteria.

Vitamins

Most people know that vitamins are essential in maintaining good overall health. When it comes to vitamins, there is a wide range of ones that you need to include in your daily diet for optimal health, especially because each vitamin has unique health benefits. Even though there are plenty of natural foods that are high in essential vitamins, you may still lack the sufficient amounts of vitamins your body needs. To help you get the vitamins you need each day, try taking our Tohi Burst Natural Energy Supplement. Made specifically with a Vitamin B complex, this supplement can help boost your energy while also helping to reduce stress and anxiety, promote a healthy metabolism, and reduce your risk of stroke, among other things. In addition, our Burst supplement contains Niacin, or Vitamin B3. This particular B vitamin has powerful cleansing properties, which can help support good cholesterol and optimal cardiovascular health.

Trace Minerals

When people think of nutritional supplements, one of the most frequently thought-of nutraceutical is vitamins. While vitamins are important, as we just discussed, it's also important to remember that your body also needs a range of trace minerals to function properly. Trace minerals are minerals that come in small, or trace, amounts but are necessary for proper body function. Some of the trace minerals you may be familiar with include iron, zinc, manganese, and selenium. While eating a balanced, nutritional diet is great, odds are you still aren't getting all of the trace minerals you need. As a result, it's often good to take a supplement, such as our Tohi Nourish Multivitamin Supplement, which contains a Trace Mineral Complex. Trace minerals help the body perform its proper and necessary functions in every system, and in the most efficient way. Each trace mineral provides its own benefits for the body; these range from assisting with proper blood flow to protecting against free radicals to enhancing the immune system. With a trace mineral complex that contains 72 minerals, our Nourish supplement provides a full range of essential minerals, so you can be confident that you are truly getting all of the trace minerals your body needs. To learn more about how our Nourish supplement can help, click here! Maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle involves a lot of things, including eating well and participating in regular exercise. But, to help fill in the cracks and truly give your body all of the nutrients it needs to be and stay healthy, it is important that you add nutraceuticals to your daily routine. And don't worry about trying to figure out just where you can find all of these nutraceuticals. Our Tohi supplement line has you covered! With our five supplements, you can get all of the daily nutraceuticals you need to achieve optimal health. It's as simple as that!
