WHOLE FOOD SUPPLEMENTS

For years medical doctors told us we could get all our nutrients from food.  After 20 years of consideration, in July of 2002, the medical establishment officially recognized it was virtually impossible to get the nutrients we need from food alone.  In the Journal of the American Medical Association, Dr. Robert H. Fletcher and Dr. Kathleen M. Fairfield, of Harvard University, advised all adults to take at least one multivitamin pill each day.  Our foods have been processed to the point that they provide mostly high glycemic carbohydrates and hydogenated or partially hydrogenated fats with little nutritional value. In an attempt to provide balanced nutrition,  synthetic multi-vitamins and minerals are added by the food manufacturers.  

To give you some knowledge on the lack of benefit to you by adding synthetic nutrients, I give you the following information.   It has been estimated that around 90% of the nutritional value of most manufactured or synthetic supplements is passed through your body without being absorbed. Some synthetic supplements can actually strip absorbable vitamins and minerals out of your body, leaving you more depleted.  Nutritional sources must support your body’s functions and be easily absorbed. 

In the USA we pay over 30% more in health care costs than any other country in the world. Despite our upscale medical care, we still rank dismally among industrialized nations in mortality rates: 15th for women and 9th for men. 

The symptoms of our malnourished condition are all around us:

• Increased pain and stiffness - Nearly 70 million Americans have arthritis and 25 million suffer with headaches. Over 50 million people consume painkillers daily.

• Excessive weight - over 60% of the population are considered overweight, 25% of those are obese.

• Decreased energy, inadequate sleep and poor digestion - Over 40 million endure constipation or indigestion.

• Brain fog and depression, hormonal imbalance and skin problems are common

• Antidepressants are being prescribed in ever increasing quantities

• There is an increased incidence of heart disease and cancer. They are the number I and 2 causes of death in America

• We have accepted physical deterioration as a natural part of aging.

• Skin care products outsell health products at department stores because we are left with the attitude “If we can’t feel good, we may as well look good”.

Your body requires quality nutrition at the cellular level. Your cells must be supplied with the basic nutrients as building blocks.  This is why Whole Foods and Whole Food Supplements are so important. They are  the best source of nutrition.  Whole Food Supplements provide nutrients that function in harmony with your body, as intended by nature. They are the source of nutrition your cells recognize as their building blocks.
