Why do we need Daily Nutrition

Why do we need Daily Nutrition?????

When compared to our ancestors, our diets and lifestyle have changed considerably and these changes have had a negative effect on the quality of our health.

A modern day problem - Generally, people eat too much refined and processed foods, our diets are high in sugar, salt and bad fats, and even "good food" can lack valuable nutrients because of modern day farming and manufacturing practices.

A well balanced diet - Very few people can claim to eat a well balanced diet, even those who do will assume that their food is nutritionally rich and may not take into consideration the lack of nutrients resulting from intensive farming practices, manufacturing mthods and storage processes. Our modern lifestyle can also be demanding and manhy people choose to supplement their diet with additional vitamins, minerals and plant extracts in order to stay healthy.

A polluted world - we are all exposed to a cocktail of toxins on a daily basis from our food, water and the air we breathe. Increased levels of toxins can cause toxicity and excess free radical damage.

In 1992 the Earth Summit Report revealed a potential loss of 72% of the mineral content in the soils of Europe in the last 100 years due to modern day intensive farming practices.  Consequently, these depleted soils can produce crops that are tasteless and have a poor nutritional content.
