Basic Holistic Nutrition

The latest research proves there is wisdom and healing power in eating whole foods.

Good nutrition is mandatory for good health. It's that simple.

Imperfect foods grow imperfect bodies.

The Surgeon General believes that 65% of diseases are preventable through whole food nutrition.  Eating whole foods delivers to your body a combination of balanced nutrients, many of which science hasn't even discovered yet!  These nutrients were designed to nourish and protect your body in a way that refined foods and supplements can't. Energy systems, immune functions, healthy DNA and strong hearts all thrive on whole food nutrition.

People adhere to an adequate diet in proportion to their understanding of what foods have to offer them.  People who have ignored nutrition before will often develop nutritional habits with zeal after obtaining knowledge of the subject.

The foods you eat provide the raw materials for your body to produce thousands of chemical combinations necessary to regulate energy supplies, immune systems, moods, body repairs and countless other critical functions.  Junk foods and refined foods short circuit your system, create masses of destructive free radicals and cause drastic shortages by wasting your nutrient supplies on damage control.

Look at it this way:

Location
:  Control Center, The Brain

"Incoming!"

"Alert Digestion, we have activity in the mouth.  Get the gastric juices flowing.  It's time to go to work."

"Yes sir!  Hydrochloric acid has been secreted.  Digestive enzymes are active and on the front lines."

"Hold it! Contact Pancreas and Small Intestine, we don't have adequate digestive enzymes - we won't be able to fully digest - we won't be able to assimilate - we'll lose the battle!"

"Yellow alert!  The rhythmical contractions of the stomach have slowed.  Small Intestine is wounded… he's going down…  The food mass is not being mixed with the digestive juices and enzymes…"

"Where's Potassium?  Potassium is always with Potatoes…  Get him!"

"I don't think these are real Potatoes, sir."

"Red Alert!  Contractions are seriously slowing.  Putrefactive bacteria is invading.  Gas is forming.  Duck and cover… this is going to hurt!"

"Get B vitamins from Liver, we need it here to help assimilate all this Sugar."

"What if Liver has none to spare, sir?"

"It's an order!  Tell him!  My Goodness!  What is going on here?  Give me a breakdown of all available Nutrient troops, stat!"

"Incoming trans fat bombs!  No, no!  Muck!  We're wallowing in muck now, sir…"

"Warn the Heart!"

"Blood cells are sticking together, sir.  Blood oxygen has dropped by 20%.  Casualties are being reported from every sector…"

"Quick… send B vitamins up here to the brain… we're going under…"

"B vitamins were depleted metabolizing blood sugar, sir."

"Send Glutathione in, we've got free radicals up the yin yang here… This is a lot of incoming, where is support… where's Nutrients?  Report!"

"Nutrients are missing in action, sir.  We're being hit with Pure Carbohydrates.  Calories, sir."

"What?  Are you serious?  It can't be Natural.  What's going on?"

"It's not Natural, sir.  It's Refined.  Processed Food.  Our Arch Enemy."

"Foodless Food!  Idiot!  What are we… kamikaze now… it's Suicide!"

"Blood is seriously clumping now, sir."

"Shut off the supply to the small blood vessels…"

"Sir, the troops are totally weak and exhausted.  It looks like surrender is inevitable."

"We did the best we could.  Give orders to hold out as long as possible… and send out a repeating signal for Nutrients…"

"Eat, eat, eat, eat…"

We overeat because we feed on
nutritionally inferior foods!


Question:
If we are what we eat,
are we denatured, devitalized, deficient
and potentially toxic?
