Whole Food Nutrition
Lets talk about:
Whole Food Nutrition
> 1 IN 3 Americans will have cancer in their lifetimes; 20 years ago it was 1 in 10
> The Framingham study demonstrated that people who eat 6 servings a day of fruits and vegetables have
44% less risk of stroke; 9 servings a day yields a 66% reduction
> A large study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) showed that 5 servings a week of green leafy vegetables cut the risk of macular degeneration, the most frequent cause of blindness in people 65 and over by 43%
> The National Cancer Institute recommends 5-9 servings a day of raw fruit and vegetables to help prevent lung, breast, colon, prostate cancers (by 50%)
> The American Heart Association recommends 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day also to slow down the atherosclerotic process and prevent heart disease and stroke...Yet, 95% of Americans are not getting 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day! And if they were, they would be spending around $5.00 - $15.00 a day on fruits and vegetables. Actually, only $1.77 a week is spent by an individual for fruits and vegetables and, worse yet, only $7.07 a week is spent for a family of four
And CHILDREN? 1 in 2 will develop heart disease; 1 in 3 will develop cancer! Degenerative diseases of the aged are now evidenced in children. ADD and ADHD are on the rise! WHY? A study of 3112 children grades 2-6 proved almost 1/2 didn’t eat even 1 fruit or vegetable in a day!
FOOD IS FUEL and they are running on empty!
ARE JUST ANY FRUITS AND VEGETABLES OK? No and here is why:
They need to be RAW because enzymes are only found in RAW foods. Enzymes act as catalysts for the 10,00 functions per seconds that the cells themselves undergo. They strengthen the immune system, defy aging and detoxify the body. Cooking (118 - 122 degrees) destroys the life quality of enzymes. Meat is cooked, milk and juices are pasteurized (a heating then cooling process), grains are baked and nuts are roasted. Fruits and vegetables are about the only other sources of enzymes and even then we cook most of them.
VARIETY is important because everyone absorbs nutrients differently, kind of like medications. Your body may absorb calcium beautifully from broccoli, but I may need to get it from spinach. Kale is the number one anti-cancer vegetable and I don’t eat it, do you? since each fruit and vegetable has a unique composition of phytochemicals, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and trace elements, and since every part of the body has unique nutritional needs, and since most people eat the five fruits and vegetables they like, they may be missing some important nutrients.
Not only does a VINE RIPENED tomato taste delicious, but also the bright red coloring is proportional to the number of phytochemicals within. Vine-ripening not only creates MORE nutrients, but those nutrients CHANGE so they are absorbed better.
Produce needs to be FRESH! Five days after picking approximately 75% of the nutrients are lost! Almost all of the produce in the market is at least 2 weeks old!
This is REAL FOOD: It is composed of RAW fruits and vegetables and grains which are grown in nutrient dense soil, allowed to ripen on the vine and picked and processed within 1-2 days!
