Think twice before taking antibiotics or giving antibiotics to our kids

"Health officials have warned for decades that overuse of antibiotics - miracle drugs that changed the course of human health in the 20th century - would eventually lead bacteria to evolve in a way that made the drugs useless."




Do think twice before giving antibiotics to ourselves or our loved one.

Antibiotics used to be miracle drugs in the past but more n more side effects has been reporting and even warned by health officials nowadays.

Don't forget everyone of us is born with the best doctor in the world, what we need to do is just nourishing it through Nutritional Immunology lifestyle.

Likewise,  vitamins pills used to be 'handy' and 'trendy' in the past, until recently more n more warnings on the side effects of overdosing.

Again, you cant be wrong to go with the science of nutritional immunology - best way to obtain vitamins/nutrients is thru wholesome food! As NI never go against the law of nature!

Supplements vs. whole foods

Supplements aren't intended to be a food substitute because they can't replicate all of the nutrients and benefits of whole foods, such as fruits and vegetables. So depending on your situation and your eating habits, dietary supplements may not be worth the expense.
Whole foods offer three main benefits over dietary supplements:
  • Greater nutrition. Whole foods are complex, containing a variety of the micronutrients your body needs — not just one. An orange, for example, provides vitamin C plus some beta carotene, calcium and other nutrients. It's likely these compounds work together to produce their beneficial effect.
  • Essential fiber. Whole foods, such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables and legumes, provide dietary fiber. Most high-fiber foods are also packed with other essential nutrients. Fiber, as part of a healthy diet, can help prevent certain diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease, and it can also help manage constipation.
  • Protective substances. Whole foods contain other substances important for good health. Fruits and vegetables, for example, contain naturally occurring substances called phytochemicals, which may help protect you against cancer, heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure. Many are also good sources of antioxidants — substances that slow down oxidation, a natural process that leads to cell and tissue damage.
