Ensure Vitality

Vitality - Men

This affects you if:

• Your diet is unbalanced and you do not eat enough fruit and vegetables
• You feel worn out.
  

What could be the cause of your fatigue?

Generally speaking, men have a less balanced diet than women.
They eat less fruit and vegetables, and therefore their vitamin, mineral and antioxidant intake is quite a bit lower.

Moreover, where stress is present and sports are practised, stores of trace elements are exhausted more quickly, and these are essential for the body to function properly. All this may lead to deficits, with fatigue being one of the most common signs.

Optimal Vitality - Women

This affects you if:

• Your iron levels are usually low
• You would like to have more energy and overcome tiredness
• You are overworked: your days have to take in work, children and some other inescapable commitment or other.
  

Fatigue in women

According to their age, women must watch their iron and calcium intake, particularly during pregnancy and when they are elderly, because their requirements increase by 1000 and 1200 mg/day, respectively. Iron deficiency may cause fatigue and anaemia. Calcium and vitamin D deficiencies may be the source of osteoporosis and fractures in the neck or the femur.

Women must be more aware of this, because of their tendency to go on diets. Throughout their lives, they go through periods of high nutritional requirements and the 2000 kcal/day of the modern diet are not sufficient to provide their needs.

It is therefore of fundamental importance to ensure the necessary daily intake of vitamins and minerals specifically suited to the needs of active women. In this way the body is strengthened and the low points produced by diets are countered.

What are the best active principles, apart from vitamins and minerals?

OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS (DHA) OF MARINE ORIGIN
These combat anxiety and the devastating effects of stress. The omega-3 fatty acid concentration in the cell membranes, particularly in the brain, conditions their proper
functioning and resistance to stress. Omega-3 fatty acids, therefore, guarantee good emotional balance.

KARKADE (Hibiscus)
In Africa, these flowers are used in salads and also to make a refreshing drink in Egypt and Sudan. Because of their vitamin C content, they are used as a tonic.

Vitality - Children

This affects you if:

• Your child has a somewhat unbalanced diet, low in fruit and vegetables or high in sugars.
• You want to prevent minor episodes of asthenia or fatigue.
  

Children's energy and nutrition requirements vary:

Diet and growth:
Children's energy and nutrition requirements vary according to sex, but above all according to age.

Unfortunately, the supply of these requirements may be deficient nowadays, leading to fatigue and lack of concentration. Taking nutritional supplements seems to be the best solution to combat dietary deficiencies.

Maintain Energy Levels

This affects you if:

• You want to transform morning tiredness into energy, so that busy days stop being an ordeal
• You are a sportsperson or student and you have to make considerable physical and mental effort.
  

What are the symptoms of fatigue?

To understand the origin of your perpetual tiredness, make a little review of what you do every day.

Cause No. 1: sleep, this is not surprising, sleeping badly is exhausting.

Culprit No. 2: stress. When worries about work, the children, the family pile up, there is a danger of heading for catastrophe. Add dietary deficiencies and you will be the ideal candidate for a real loss of energy, together with difficulties in concentrating.
When the body wants to quit, you have to adjust. The true solution: find a balance, because at certain stages of life (exams, work, etc.) we cannot give in. Taking tonics or revitalisers is effective.

But don't be satisfied with a tablet here and there, only complete treatments will produce lasting effects.

Fortify Your Body

• You want to keep your natural defences protected
• You are susceptible to colds or external attacks in general
• You have difficulty recovering after an illness.
  

The ABC of immunity

The immune system is all the molecules, cells, tissues and organs that take part in the immune response, in order to remove the foreign bodies that may have penetrated the body. Like an army with its infrastructure ? infantry, generals? all united to fight the enemy!

The immune cells release aggressive enzymes, radicals and toxic substances (the ammunition) which render the intruders harmless and disarm them.

The nutritional state and diet are conclusive factors in the quality and efficacy of your body's response to external aggressions. This is why taking food supplements strengthens your body's defences.
