Often, a daily vitamin that includes essential vitamins and minerals is overlooked, but as our diets become more processed, supplements become more important.

Daily intake of vitamins, minerals, and specific herbs, in addition to a diet that is high in green, leafy, vegetables can put you on the road to creating and maintaining great health. Green vegetables contain chlorophyll, the blood of plants. Its makeup is almost perfectly matched to human blood. The core of chlorophyll is magnesium, the core of human blood is iron, and that is the important difference between the two.

I hope that this article inspires you to take a closer look at your physical health. Visit your medical doctor or Naturopath regularly for annual checkups. Be certain to get imperative exams like mammograms, Pap smears, HIV tests, Glucose exams, and full blood labs.
