Mindful Digital Reset
Gen Z reclaims focus and balance through digital minimalism
While supplements like protein powders, vitamins, and minerals have become popular, they cannot fully replace the nutrients found in whole, healthy foods. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and lean proteins provide not just vitamins and minerals, but also fiber, antioxidants, and other natural compounds that supplements cannot replicate. Relying solely on pills or powders may offer convenience, but it often misses the broader benefits of a balanced diet.
That said, supplements can still play a useful role for people with specific deficiencies, dietary restrictions, or higher nutritional needs. The key is knowing when they are truly needed and not using them as a shortcut to a healthy lifestyle.
Which is better for long-term health: getting nutrients from whole foods, or relying on supplements to fill the gaps?
