Why we should supplement
Why do we need Daily Nutrition?????
We are very good at making sure every year our cars are put through an MOT, and a service to change our oil so that the engine works properly, water in the pipes so the car does not overheat, if there is a problem we will spend money on making sure it is safe to drive as our lives are precious, so Why do we not look after our bodies like we do our cars...
Our Kitchen has been hijacked by the food industry. How many times per week do you eat out? How many times per week do you get a ready meal instead of cooking from scratch???
Our tongue can be fooled, and your brain can become addicted to a combination of fat, salt, sugar pumped into our foods. Unfortunately our biochemistry can not handle these foods, this is why so many people are overweight or obese.
People are now becoming more exposed to either pre-diabetes or diabetes, In the next decade the amount of teenagers at risk of the condition will increase. We are all at risk of cardiovascular factors ie - high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood sugar. 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. The food industry is making our future generation sick
Supplements are also a good way of getting the nutrients that you need, just to keep our energy levels up so that the quick sugar fix doesn't hit us over and over again.
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. Farming changed during World War 2 as we needed farming practices to produce crops so that people wouldn't starve. Therefore they started to use pesticides so that they could start growing more vegetables for consumption.
Pesticides have been linked to a wide range of human health hazards, ranging from short-term impacts such as headaches and nausea to chronic impacts like cancer, reproductive harm, and endocrine disruption. Acute dangers - such as nerve, skin, and eye irritation and damage, headaches, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, and systemic poisoning - can sometimes be dramatic, and even occasionally fatal.Pesticides can cause many types of cancer in humans. Some of the most prevalent forms include leukemia, non-Hodgkin s lymphoma, brain, bone, breast, ovarian, prostate, testicular and liver cancers. In February 2009, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry published a study that found that children who live in homes where their parents use pesticides are twice as likely to develop brain cancer versus those that live in residences in which no pesticides are used.
In recent years Nature Sunshine have seen increased availability of organic produce. Organic farmers allow their land to rest between crops to rebuild the nutritional content in the soil naturally. In addition, organic foods are not sprayed with toxic chemical pesticides. As well as reducing the toxic burden on the body and our environment, organically produced food is usually more nourishing.
The nutritional value and purity of supplements are equally important and for this reason NS use the finest organic ingredients which are free from pesticides, herbicides and fungicides.
Other supplementation can have In supplements NOT NSP supplements you will find
dirt
wood-chips
insects
cement
pesticides
aluminum
lead
arsenic
batteries
mercury
corn syrup leads to weight gain
talc bulking agent
Food is harvested to early, How many of you would buy a black banana? or an apple with a bruise? Due to the banana being harvested early it is green so therefore has very little nutritional value if any.
When the food has been harvested it is put into cold storage to stop the crop from aging, so that when you buy it in the supermarket it is appealing. It is jetted around the world.
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 methods and storage processes. Our modern lifestyle can also be demanding and many people choose to supplement their diet with additional vitamins, minerals and plant extracts in order to stay healthy.
With regards to processed foods eating wholemeal or brown rice, brown pasta is better for you as this is how it should be. white bread, flour etc is bleached to make it more appealing.
Years ago our ancestors would wake up to a full breakfast of bacon, and eggs, which is high in protein, a good way to start the day. Proteins are an important part of your bones, muscles and skin. Proteins are in every living cell in our bodies.
Protein performs many functions:- Helping to break down food for energy. Building structures. Breaking down toxinsProteins are made up of building blocks called amino acids. The Human body can break down amino acids but not others. Proteins we get from meat and other animal product (complete protein) contain all the amino acids we need. Protein from plant products are incomplete protein, you would need to eat a variety of plant products to get a complete protein:- peanut butter and bread, rice and beans
Your body needs protein when it wakes in the morning, The body has used up the protein from the previous day helping our bodies break down food for energy, breaking down toxins, even while we are asleep. You can get it another way via supplements, a simple shake in the morning which is how I get my protein every day.
Food is often over cooked, I have been brought up by eating soft vegetables when they should really be slightly crunchy, this destroys many of the enzymes in the food.
Indigestion is a very common problem, it is estimated that over 40% of the population have experienced indigestion at some point in their lives.The stomach produces acid to help the digestion of foods, the stomach is very sensitive to the acid so has a protective lining. On occasions the protective lining isn't adequate so the acid comes into contact with the cells lining the stomach leading to inflammation and irritation.
In most cases of indigestion it is caused by eating, but other causes can be due to medication that we take or an infection.
When we become ill we go to the Doctors, or go to the Chemist for anything that can help us feel so much better, but the side effects are huge. I have been looking into lots of alternative forms of houlistic medication, supplements and the best form that I have found is what I am offering you.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.
But this will be another presentation in why we should detox lol.
I will tell you that I read an article yesterday by Deana Pilkington about washing salad being a good idea (really). Professor Hugh Pennington said Bugs are quite good at getting into the pores of surgace of a plant, so washing is never 100% effective.
Its more important to buy from someone you trust, the farmer down the road. Farmers have strict guidelines about the amount of time left between manuring a field and harvesting the crop. It would be bad for the brand otherwise. Wash off any soil. Most bagged salads look pretty clean because they have been carefully processed.
Food poisoning from salads is rare, Growers take a lot of precautions to avoid manure getting on to the plant, but if theres been heavy rain, water can go to places its not supposed to and carry bugs with it.
Did you know that there is 20% more chlorine in a bag of lettuce than a swimming pool.
Theres no strict rule about how long you should wash salad for, but a quick rinse making sure water reaches all the surfaces should suffice.
I must admit since starting this side line, my family have been taking Black walnut capsules which give protein, iodine,chromium, potassium, maganes, VIT A VIT C
Its a mild laxative, cleansing, anti-parasitic, blood cleanser, blood sugar stabilizer, topical uses, fungal infections, sores, gum disease, rashes. It oxygenates blood, helps thyroid, can burn up excessive toxins and fatty healthy materials can also help lower cholesterol.
