You Are What You Eat

The quality of the food we consume is central to our health. Our body is continually regenerating itself as individual cells are renewed. Every cell and tissue in our body is built, repaired and fuelled from the foods, fluids, and yes, toxins, we consume.


Is our food natural? Most commercially available foods today are grown in the presence of chemical poisons. Vegetables are sprayed with pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. Intensively farmed, depleted soils are treated with NPK fertilizers but remain nutritionally void, as are the plants grown in them. Animals are fed antibiotics to prevent illness and growth hormones to speed their development. Our food is then processed, stripping much of its nutritional content. It may be bleached. Colors and flavorings are added. It is sealed in plastic and may be frozen. This is the food on which many of us survive. Just! Our choices affect us at a cellular level These poisoned, nutrient-deficient foods, if part of your diet, are the building blocks of the person you are today. The poisons contained within them damage our cells and DNA. The long-term consumption of these foods is a central contributor to the lifestyle diseases from which many people in developed countries are now suffering. Choose wisely for better health Human beings have an amazing capacity to survive. Our entire physiology is designed to preserve life as a priority. It is the length and quality of our life, daily energy, mental clarity, productivity, emotional stability and absence of pain we can influence by making positive choices. Choose nutrient-rich organics Organic foods are grown in naturally fertilized, composted and mineralized soils to which no poisons have been introduced. The goodness in these soils provides nutrients which growing fruits, vegetables and grains absorb and pass on to those who eat them. These minerals and the vitamins and phytonutrients synthesized in their presence enhance flavor and provide the basis for healthy cellular renewal, growth, energy and repair. These are the foods on which we have evolved to thrive, not merely survive. Eat fresh whole foods to maximize nutrients Only unprocessed foods, such as whole grains, contain the full spectrum of nutrients which nature intended and our bodies require. A white bread, for example, may be organic but during processing much of its original goodness is removed. Avoid processed, pre-packaged foods in all their forms whether bottled, canned, boxed or bagged. Eat raw for the enzymes Enzymes are catalysts that boost the speed and efficiency of all chemical processes including digestion. Fresh, whole and, importantly, raw organic foods contain the specific enzymes needed to provide the greatest amount of nutrients to our body with the minimum of digestive energy. This preserves our energy for the important tasks of repair and renewal. Note that all enzymes are destroyed above 118 F (48 C). Cooking depletes them, robbing us of their revitalizing properties. Choose life Eat a high quality diet of organic, whole and largely raw foods, providing the best nutrients to rebuild your body and enhance health and vitality on all levels.
