Nutrition?...It's elementary!

A ….. is for APPLE

B …..is for BROCCOLI

C…. is for CAULIFLOWER

AN APPLE A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY!.... BUT WHY? 

Every apple contains thousands of antioxidants and phytochemicals ,  all of which work together to interact in thousands upon thousands of  metabolic reactions.  And that’s just the apple.  Cutting edge nutritional science is finding the gold in these simple common vegetables and fruits, the true essence of vital life at the cellular level. 

Nutrients, as we all know are what comes from food.  We also know that toxins are bad things and we sure don’t want any of them.  The problem is we don’t always know what is truly nutrient and we don’t always, and most often, don’t recognize the toxins.

This lack of knowledge of the vital essence of WHOLE foods is the root problem in a society of malnourished individuals where obesity is epidemic.

Epigenetics is another growing area of science which describes cellular activity.  The word epigenetic means on top of the gene.  These epigenes work to effect the gene in either a positive way or negative way.  The positive action is cellular repair, or what we can call healing.  Negative actions, called mutations, can be any of the precursors to disease development. The most recognized initial negative action is called “inflammation”, or the inflammatory process. 

 Dr. Walter Willet of the Harvard school of nutrition and public health has stated that 90% of diseases are nutrition related.  It follows then that changes in the foundations of nutrition can lead to elimination of many diseases by putting the body in an environment that allow it to heal itself  as it was created to do given half a chance.  Hippocrates stated over two thousand years ago, “Body”, heal thyself”.  Hippocrates, is accepted by today’s medical profession as the father of medicine. This does not seem evident in the current practice of medicine where the three modalities used are drugs, surgery or chemo-radiation therapies.  The statement made by Hippocrates “Let medicine be thy food and let food be thy medicine” is not a current day treatment modality.  

Let it be understood that nutrition is the true determinant of health.
