Supplements vs normal food

February 26th, 2010

Some people don’t agree with sports supplements as they believe they can get everything their body needs from normal food, is this true?  Yes, most of the ingredients from supplements we recommend you can get from normal food, however, consuming the amount of what you need may be difficult, supplements make it a lot easier to consume this amount.  Protein shakes for example, a large protein shake tends to have the same amount of protein in as a steak, but if you tried to digest a steak as often as people trying to gain muscle often need you would probably find it very time consuming and make you feel pretty bloated.  Strong multi vitamins give you the necessary vitamins in one pill, getting this from fruit and veg would require you to eat a lot of different fruit and veg.  Supplements should be combined with a healthy diet for optimum results, it’s certainly not healthy to rely solely on sports supplements as your daily nutritional intake.  Supplements are not essential to losing weight or building muscle but they sure do help.  Supplements should do exactly what the name intends not the rubbish Fitness magazines and Bodybuilding magazines imply they do, they should go along side your workout and diet to give you improved results.
