It's often assumed that big changes originate from big moves. That in order to make a greater difference, one needs to make a greater effort. I have found that this is not always true, in life, but especially when it relates to your health. The human body is an example of a system that responds very well to gradual change and consistent effort.
There are many, many examples of this. Taking vitamins or herbal supplements is a great one. Taking a single multivitamin for one day, or even better yet, taking a massive dose of vitamins in a single sitting, is not going to have much of a sustained effect on your general health. This is primarily because your body can only absorb a limited amount of the vitamins at one time. Therefore, in order to truly realize the benefits of taking vitamins, or another supplement, you need to take maintenance doses over a period of time. This will eventually saturate your blood with the vitamins that you're taking and allow your body to maintain a constant level within the body.
