Deep down inside, we all harbor the hope that we are eating right. More often than not, that's easier said than done. The demands of work and family drain our time and our patience. We live fast and eat worse and try to compensate by taking handfuls of vitamins and other over-the-counter supplements and hope for the best. We rarely take the time to examine our health and our well being until we experience problems. In the long run, whole food supplements are better for you and will allow you to assimilate the healthy nutrients much quicker in your body.  A good diet will help as well and some exercise won't hurt either. Put together, it's a great combination for a longer and more fulfilling life. Due to the processed food we consume, there is always something missing. Due to the body needing over 45 esserntial nutrients to maintain optimal health, supplementation is imperative. The The Herbalife Nutritional products work for me.
