Health is a measure of how well your cells function. To be at your best means that each cell must be functioning at its best. Do you know what it takes to have all your cells fully operational?There is a direct connection between
vitality of your cells and things you put into your body. Your body was made to receive nutrients it needs from foods you eat. The availability of nutrients at cellular level determines your overall health. This is first law of natural health.
But before you begin on any nutritional program or diet, ask yourself following questions.
·In what soil was this food grown? ·Under what conditions did it grow? ·What is breeding behind plants producing this food? Health-giving foods have certain characteristics. You can easily digest them and you gain many more nutrients than you expend on digestion, assimilation and distribution. These foods are called "nutrient dense foods."
Our plant breeders and our agricultural practices have been robbing us of these nutrient dense foods. Because easily digested and nutrient loaded food supports life — all life — such foods do not keep long on grocery shelves. Economic pressures have caused us to develop long keeping, nutrient poor varieties of our commercial food plants. Our reliance upon commercial fertilizers, which replace only three or four of 70 or more minerals needed for optimal growing conditions, has led to mineral deficient soils that produce nutrient poor plants.
