A Systems Approach to
Good Health & Nutrition

The human body is a community of billions of living organisms called cells. Each cell requires a constant supply of oxygen, nutrients, pure water, and just the right temperature. Waste removal ensures the proper functioning of the system. If cells are not supported in all of these activities, they will die.

It is impossible for each cell to supply its own needs. In order to perform specialized functions, each cell is organized in a beautiful system of interdependence for the good of the whole. For example, some cells specialize in supplying food to the whole community (the digestive system). Others are adapted to coordinate the pumping of fresh air into the community and the removal of stale air (the respiratory system).

Much like a chain, your body's health is only as good as your weakest link; in other words, you can only be as strong as the weakest of your body systems.

Of course, one weak link does not necessarily cause an immediate breakdown of health. Usually a weakness in one system places unnatural stress on other related body systems. Thus, the interdependent organs and systems have to work harder to compensate for this defect. This sets the stage for future potential problems?one day the chain may even snap!

Proper nutrition plays a major role in achieving and maintaining good health. If the body's various systems aren't supplied with the necessary nutrients, they can't perform their functions, and the whole community suffers.

Because of the specialized nature of each cell, nutritional needs may be different depending on the cell's activities. For example the structural system needs more silica and calcium, while the kidney's filtering system requires more sodium and potassium.

Unfortunately, the average modern diet, with its reliance on processed convenience foods, is grossly lacking in essential nutrients. But most people today aren't willing or able to structure their busy lifestyle around the preparation of healthy foods.

Given that changing our eating habits is not always a viable option, how can we be sure each system of the body is getting the crucial nutrients it needs? Nature's Sunshine has the simple answer: 14 key products designed to provide nutrients that must be present for the proper function of each body system.
