Frequently Asked Questions
Does a “good diet” ensure sufficient nutrients?
Soil becomes poor in minerals over time due to over farming. Fruit and vegetables are picked unripe to keep ‘fresh’ for store. Food is treated by insecticides, hormones and fertilizer. In the transportation process food is cooled and dehydrated, packaged, heated irradiation and packaged in plastic in many instances. When processed (tinned, bottled, breakfast cereals), preserved (dried, frozen, chemically treated) or Prepared (e.g. microwave oven, stove) nutrients are affected negatively. Therefore, food alone can NO LONGER supply all the nutrients required to keep us healthy
What factors affect all of us and are sources of oxidants / free radicals or can affect health negatively?
- Normal body metabolism (metabolic waste including free radicals
- Pollution
- Radiation
- Smoking
- Medication
- Processed foods (excess sugar and other carbs, seed oils, trans-fats)
- Toxins
- Food additives (only about 300 of over 10 000 EVER tested!)
- Cleaning products – household and personal (soap, shampoo, cosmetics, etc)
- Herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, GMO’s, paints, solvents, etc
- Upholstery, furnishings and fittings, clothing
- Industrial pollution, smoke, dust, vehicles, EMF’s and more
- Unclean water (medications, residues, bacteria, chlorine, etc, etc)
- Bacteria, fungi, parasites, injury
This is WHY supplementation is no longer an option – it is ESSENTIAL!
Which modern lifestyle factors affect the quantity of nutrients we absorb?
Changes in agricultural practices, including breeding techniques, have influenced the nutrient content of fruits and vegetables. Shifts in dietary habits, with more emphasis on processed foods, have contributed to changes in nutrient intake. Food processing methods also affect the nutritional value of food, with some processes potentially leading to nutrient loss and increased consumption of sugar and salt. Shifts in fat and carbohydrate intake, also contribute to health problems like obesity and diabetes. Lastly changes in the food supply has also led to a need for updated dietary recommendations to ensure adequate nutrient intake.
