Basic Nutrition

The brain is where poor nutrition is first felt.  For instance, if you are deficient in iron you will feel depressed and irritable long before you develop anemia.  But, if we rely on supplements, we're missing out on trace minerals and phytochemicals available to us only in whole foods.  Your system works when fed properly and malfunctions when not!

Disease prevention may be a low priority to many of you right now, if you're currently "feeling healthy".  You might be thinking, "what's in it for me, right now!" Well, there's plenty in it for you right here, right now.   Do you want to look better, feel better, perform better, think better? 

Nutrition can dramatically improve your life.

In the last 20 years we have lost all common sense when it comes to food.  Deluged with advertising and misinformation we have simply transferred our control over nutrition to the refined food industry, trusting that they understood our busy lives and need for quicker, easier food preparation that still supplied nutrition.  They understood, but it seems they didn't care.  Easy, they supplied.  Nutrition, they didn't.  Who knew?

Beyond our poor diets, we are living in a seriously addicted generation.  Conventional medicine offers us heavy-duty drugs, antibiotics, anti-anxiety, antifungals, antidepressants, antihistamines, anti-inflammatories and steroids.  We've grown to trust pills and surgery for everything that ails us.  We are turning into a bunch of toxic zombies! 

Depression, chronic fatigue, sleep disorders, anxiety, bulimia, anorexia, obesity, high blood pressure, severe allergies, diabetes, anemia, candida, arthritis, cancer, heart disease, skin eruptions, impaired intellectual functions, loss of sexual desire, PMS, accelerated aging, and a lack of interest or discontentment in living… all of these, and more, can be attributed to poor diet, and an overabundance of prescription drugs. 

Nutrition has a clear impact on both life- and non-life-threatening issues.  It can influence your state of mind, ability to learn and concentrate, your level of alertness, health and development of your brain, the severity of syndromes, overall physical and mental development, and the duration and intensity of your colds, just to name a few.

There are so many things in life we feel powerless to control, to change or even to affect.  You can control, change and affect your health through your diet.  You can improve the quality of your life and the length of it, as well.
