We’ve been warned. The nutrition level of the food we eat every day is notably lower than just a few decades ago. Most of the blame has gone to many who produce and process food on a commercial level. Aside from organic growers who’s methods return nutrients back into the soil naturally, commercial food production methods use chemicals to promote plant growth at the expense of fertile soil.
Other techniques to increase the bottom line include “tampering” with seeds, resulting in hybrid seeds that produce a product better suited to traveling fifteen-hundred miles than nourishing us, especially when it can be harvested before ripening, then treated with gases to look so good for shoppers.
Food processing adds another step in nutrition reduction, where shelf life is the name of the game. Added fats and sugars aren’t the only culprits here. I once bought a frozen pizza to serve my grandkids for lunch. Don’t ALL kids love pizza? To my surprise, the only familiar ingredients were flour, sugar and “tomato”. Everything else didn’t come close to resembling food, if I could even pronounce it. What did I do? I trashed the pizza and gave the kids some real food.
So, you say, “What does that have to do with supplements?” More than I can cover here today,but basically natural food supplements are a great way to replace what is lost in the food we eat. Food supplements are a huge business too. I take vitamin and mineral supplements every day. I gave them to my children when they were young. Natural supplements today are by far superior to what was available then, and the choices demand that we do our homework. You absolutely don’t want to waste your money on an herb that is actually fifty-percent (or more) just cheap filler. One that comes to mind is parsley. Now parsley’s not bad….it’s actually nutritious. But when I want parsley, I will buy just the parsley. You will not regret being a savvy shopper when you research and purchase your natural nutritional supplements.
I welcome you to Natural Supplement Guide. As we grow, you will benefit with essential information about herbal nutrition, so you can fortify your health as a truly informed consumer.
I have a good example of that. In the mid-nineties I learned about vitamin E. I found the information quite interesing even though no one seemed to think vitamin E would be beneficial. Basically the message was “useless….save your money”. I spent the money….some of the smartest money I ever spent. We’ll talk alot about vitamin E, but today I will say this. It’s the best thing I ever did for my skin. Of course now we know that vitamin E is good for your heart as well. Oh yeah, it’s a great healer too, applied topically to scrapes or wounds and even soothes and heals painful stitches. We keep learning………..
