Whole Foods Nutrition
It IS possible for the body to have amazing healing capabilities - WITHOUT DRUGS!
If we take good care of ourselves, and if we realize that in the long run "quick fixes" may do us more harm than good, we can age better, stay healthier, and prevent unwanted diseases. Whole foods are full of the necessary vitamins, mineral, phytochemical, antioxidants, flavanoids, etc., and can help us restore our health and maintain it in excellent condition.
While good nutrition does directly affect the body, our mind has an enormous impact on our health, also. Stress is not the only key factor; all our thoughts have a definite effect on our overall health. These days, good nutrition has become a major concern with the general public. And it should be!
Studies indicate that many of us do not receive the daily nutrients necessary for good health. We eat poorly, and we eat a lot more. There is an epidemic of obesity in our society. But obesity and junk food cravings are only part of the problem. Poor nutrition is also a major issue. It is no surprise that an article appearing in the Journal of the American Medical Association recommends multivitamins for all adults. But, the word is getting out. Today, almost three out of five Americans already take dietary supplements. People are seeking out the nutrients that are vitally important for staying healthy. Ingredients that contribute to fitness, youthful energy, help in fending off the advances of aging, and improved recovery from illness and surgery.
But there remain many unanswered questions when it comes to taking supplements:
- How much is enough?
- Am I getting the right vitamins and minerals?
- Am I taking too much?
Too much vitamins can be as bad as too little. Simply loading up on vitamin pills you think will help is no way to assure you’re receiving the nutrition you need.
That is where whole food, and whole food supplements come in to play. Every vegetable or fruit you eat contains a variety of ingredients: vitamins and minerals plus hundreds of co-nutrients such as bioflavonoids and other phytonutrients, enzymes, amino acids and more.
A whole-food product is prepared
in a way that preserves more of
these natural components.
But, with nutritional supplementation and health awareness at an all-time high, why have degenerative diseases and illness skyrocketed over the last century?
While our ancestors lived difficult lives, they were not burdened with many of the complicated health challenges that we face today. So, then, what has changed in our modern day world? What is the secret to enjoying the health and vitality experienced by our forefathers?
Answer is simple: Whole Food Nutrition!
For many centuries, our ancestors received nourishment from whole food sources. Vegetables, berries, seeds, greens, sprouts, fruits, grains and nuts that were grown in chemical and pesticide free soil. That soil was also very rich in probiotics, fulvic acid, enzymes and minerals. In today’s world, our bodies still require the complete balance of pure nutrients and energy provided by whole foods. The modern demands of our fast-paced world have led to food being processed to the point of non-nutrition. Pure food value has been sacrificed for convenience. Natural food has been overtaken by chemically modified products that can promote illness and disease. Today we are not only eating food – our food is eating us. In an attempt to counteract the impact of poor nutrition, we supplement our diet with “processed nutrition” in the form of isolated synthetic vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that are only slightly more beneficial than the processed foods that created the problem! This is why whole food, and whole food supplements are so important!
