The trillions of cells that make up your body must be healthy and functional before you can expect optimum health and energy. No program for weight management or life enhancement will work long term unless your cells receive all the nutrients they need.
Your Body is Under Siege Every Day
It’s estimated that 70% of meals eaten by North Americans are not nutritionally adequate and 90% of the health conditions that exist today are diet related. These health conditions are often the result of people being rushed, hungry, fatigued and stressed. So, we eat fast foods for convenience, consume sweet foods for a pick-me-up and use medication to take away aches, pains, sleeplessness and general malaise. It’s no wonder we’re exhausted and undernourished!
Amazingly, the answer to such a complex problem is really quite simple. The Average North American Diet Consists of:
· Fat: One gallon per month
· Sugar: 24 teaspoons per day
· Salt: One pound per month.
· Cholesterol
· Tobacco
· Alcohol
· Prescription Drugs
· Empty Carbohydrates (i.e. soda, cookies, cakes, etc.)
According to the American Medical Association (A.M.A)…
· 70% of deaths are from a heart attack, cancer or stroke.
· 50% of these deaths could have been prevented through dietary change.
· 70% of all illnesses and doctor visits are diet related.
· North Americans are no longer getting proper nutrition through their diets and need to
supplement with vitamins and minerals.
· In order to fight off illness and disease and maintain good, long-term health, your body needs: Protein, carbohydrates, fatty acids, minerals, amino acids, phytonutrients, fiber and herbs.
