Nutrition and Health

1. Food Production Methods

   The combination of harsh farming methods, toxic chemical sprays, harvesting foods prematurely, and lengthy storage periods, has adversely effected the nutritional value of our food. Much of the nutritional value that should be in our food just is not there. Recent scientific studies show that a mere fraction of the nutrients that should be in foods remain.

   This is especially true for nutrients such as enzymes & phytonutrients. They are very fragile, and are destroyed long before the food reaches your table, assuming they were even there to start with.

2. Modern Dietary Habits

   Not many health experts could honestly say that the average American's diet is "healthy." Saturated fat is not the only problem. We don't get enough vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, glyconutrients, etc in our diets, yet we consume too much processed food, sugars, etc.

3. Environmental Stress

   The amount of toxins we absorb each day is nothing short of horrendous. Researchers recently announced that in spending two weeks in Los Angeles, CA, you absorb more dangerous toxins in that time than is healthy to absorb during an entire life! All of these environmental toxins have a serious effect on health, overall wellness, and longevity.

Even the American Medical Association now recommends dietary supplementation. Historically, the AMA has been opposed to nutritional supplementation. They believed that most people got all they needed in their food. Due to the unprecedented poor nutrient levels in the food supply, and the declining health of the US population, the AMA now considers nutritional supplements essential!

Dietary supplements are not just a source of vitamins and minerals. These supplements strengthen the immune system, helping to prevent disease, as well as supplying nutrients missing from the healthiest of diets. So, if you want to be healthy get the best supplements that you can, and take them regularly.
