In today’s world, we’re always searching for better and more. It’s in our human nature to evolve, and this takes time. Time and patience are virtues not many have. We want everything now—fast results with minimal work.
The truth is, nothing good comes fast or easy. Everything good in life takes time and hard work. We want to feel good now, but many people fail to plan for their future well-being. It’s essential to live in the moment and not dwell on the future. This only works if you’re taking the proper steps now in the present.
Everyone wants to be brighter, healthier, faster, and stronger, but it all takes time. Most people are so busy and enamored with the day-to-day that they forget or set aside their long-term health goals.
Humans are brilliant and resilient. When we put our heads together to accomplish something, we get it done. We have come such a long way from playing with sticks in caves, and it’s all from our innate desire to learn, improve, and evolve. Striving to be better and teaching the following generations how to do the same and learn from past mistakes.
As time goes on, there are more discoveries and more insights into life, both physical and mental. We have found ways to unlock the unused potential within ourselves and others. This creates a drive in us to pursue perfection in all fields, whether it be education, anthropology, science, or health.
What if I told you there are straightforward steps we can take to help improve our odds of being better at life? Why would we want to keep living at 40% optimization when we can strive and push ourselves to be and feel 100% for the rest of our lives?
The Promise of Supplements
Supplements are the key to unlocking that little extra brain power. Unlocking that little extra bit of strength we have. Being able to perform at a higher output mentally and physically. Cognitive function, as well as physical functions, always vary between people, but there’s always room for improvement.
What if I tell you we can see a little better, feel a little younger, preserve our aging bodies, and in some cases even reverse negative habits and conditions that are holding us back from unlocking that full potential? Supplements are the cheat code to success.
Almost every successful and healthy person has routines that stem from discipline. Things that they do that help improve their lives to perform at the best of their ability. It isn’t rocket science, it’s just science. Simple structural and common-sense science. Doing little things that help shape your mind and body. Little habits that can make a huge difference in your life.
These habits determine whether we improve or slow down aging, or speed it up. There are so many things people do to affect their lives negatively, and before you know it, you’re unhappy, depressed, overweight, and overall unhealthy. Part of evolution is learning from the mistakes of past generations. There’s literally a vitamin, mineral, or supplement that’s meant to help, cure, or reverse things that are negatively affecting our minds and bodies.
Education
What are some things we can start doing today to help us improve? Research is the first step. Educating ourselves with the free information available to all through our smartphones, computers, and TVs.
Learn that most of the things we see and are advertised are not suitable for us, and we must research them before using or ingesting them. So many big companies are making billions, keeping us sick and needing prescription drugs when there are so many simple paths we can take that are really meant to help us and improve our quality of life. It all starts with just doing some simple research.
Prevention
Taking supplements isn’t just about getting an edge in life; they are also crucial for preventing many kinds of health conditions. Most people don’t follow proper, whole-food diets. This means most of us aren’t getting the adequate vitamins and minerals we need to regulate our bodies’ functions.
Supplements can be essential for athletes, the elderly, the sick, pregnant women, and also people with medical conditions who have restrictive diets. There’s not one human on this planet who cannot benefit from adding supplements to their diet. It all starts with what you put into your body.
Before you take something or eat something, ask yourself, “Is this going to improve my life or take away from it?” This is one of the single most significant struggles humans face as a species. So many chronic illnesses these days, like diabetes, cancer, and many others, can be treated, if not reversed, by making better choices of what we put into our bodies.
This isn’t an easy task for anyone. There are always cravings and temptations like having a sweet tooth, going overboard being vegan, or just eating meat; there are so many lifestyle choices that determine our functionality and health.
Most people think that eating healthy is enough to be the best version of themselves, but unfortunately, it’s just not enough. No matter how healthy we think we eat, there’s always something we are lacking in our diets, like iron, fiber, magnesium, potassium, sodium, vitamin C and D, and so many others.
Consult a Doctor
The best way to determine what we are lacking is through consulting with a doctor and having your bloodwork done. This will tell you if you’re too low or too high in certain areas and whether or not you have an illness that you’re unaware of, which can affect your quality of life, such as your physical health or cognitive functions. This is where science and research play a huge role.
We’ve come a long way as humans in understanding how our bodies work and figuring out what we need to do to correct or reverse the negative impacts on our bodies. So many parents say, “I would die for my children!” But how many of us will say, “I will live for my children!” Be the person who sets the example for others. Improve yourself daily, and others will see you and follow.
Quality Nutrients & Absorption
There are many cases where supplements help with the absorption of vitamins and nutrients, especially with people who are on medications that can negatively interfere with nutrient absorption. This is key to staying healthy when you’re taking medicines with so many adverse side effects that can really impact your quality of life.
One of the most important tips is to combine supplements with a healthy diet. Do not eat low-quality or unhealthy foods, then take supplements, thinking you’re going to get the same or better results. This is doing a disservice to yourself and your future health. Remember that you must live in the present and do things today that will help you tomorrow.
It’s always best to talk to a doctor and make sure that what you are taking is working for you and isn’t negatively affecting you and your health. Anyone can go on the computer and start ordering everything they see or hear, but in reality, it might not be compatible with you and your situation.
Always be responsible and consider what you put into your body, since we only have one. There aren’t any second chances when it comes to our health. You either follow the path to health and wellness, or you go down the path of illness and disease. Remember that little changes can make huge differences, and we can always find ways to improve our lives without having to sacrifice too much in return.
A lot of people struggle with fast food, alcohol, and/or drugs. Doing little things to help stop, like maybe skipping going out and drinking this week. Perhaps you can start by not eating McDonald’s for breakfast every morning and dedicate a few more days to cooking your own, or even skipping breakfast and fasting.
There are numerous small changes we can make in our daily lives that don’t have to be major, but can significantly improve our odds of longevity and health in the long run. Be the change you want to see in the world, one decision at a time.
We aren’t perfect, and we can never achieve perfection, but if we strive for it, then we are constantly improving and never satisfied. This is how we evolve into better versions of ourselves, laying down the blueprint for future generations to seek improvement. Keep trying to do better and be 1% better every day, and you will live a long, happy, and fulfilling life.
