These days, the quality of food we have available to us is HORRIFIC.
Refined grains, sugars, artificial sweeteners, hydrogenated oils, packaged foods and other convenience foods have infiltrated our lives and are truly making us sick and overweight.
BUT, even though we eat too any calories, why are so many people deficient in certain vitamins and minerals?
Unfortunately, naturally-occurring foods rich in nutrients are becoming a thing of the past. Eons of vegetation growth and aggressive modern farming techniques have brought many of the earth’s minerals to the surface, where they have been washed away.
As the soils are depleted, the seas become enriched
The earth contains a perfect balance of all the nutrients humans need to be healthy and happy. The problem is soil-nutrient depletion. Over the years, soil erosion and aggressive farming practices have depleted the essential nutrients in crops, and human nutrition has suffered. Dr. U. Aswathanarayana states, “When people consume a diet derived from crops grown in nutrient-deprived soil, their intake of essential elements becomes inadequate. This leads to the impairment of relevant physiological functions and causes disease.”1
So, how do YOU stay healthier?
You can start by eating more organic fruits, vegetables and meats, but that is not very realistic for everyone.
You can also use some basic supplements to make sure that you’re covering your bases.
