In simplest terms, optimal nutrition means providing your body with the best possible foods, nutrients and liquids for maintaining cellular wellness and mental and physical functions. To accomplish this, your diet must be such that it promotes the following:
1. Nutrient Diversity and Abundance:
Consuming a variety of nutrients is necessary for optimal health. Different nutrients act together in synergystic cooperation. For example, vitamin C and E fight free-radicals much more effectively when consumed from whole food sources rather than when taken separately as isolated supplements.* We cannot duplicate nature by making combinations of isolated vitamins and minerals. Certain nutritional supplements and powdered extracts contain the natural complexity of whole foods.
2. Nutrient Digestion and Absorption:
Digestion and absorption of nutrients are absolute requirements for good health. Without good digestion, nutrients will not be absorbed into our blood stream and delivered to our cells. Digestive enzymes and other nutrients in our products help keep our digestive tract operating efficiently and help us absorb and utilize nutrients properly.*
3. Antioxidant Protection Against Free Radicals:
Antioxidants are our best defense against oxidation to our cells caused by free radicals. Free radicals are oxygen-containing molecules created in our cells during normal metabolism. They also come from pollutants in the home, office, air, surrounding environment. It is important to consume a sufficient amount of antioxidants from fresh fruits and vegetables daily in order to neutralize free radicals effectively.* Certain natural products provide a diverse array of antioxidants including beta carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E succinate, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glycosylisovitexin, chlorophyll, blue green algae and others.
4. Gentle Detoxification:
Chlorophyll and other substances in barley grass and blue-green algae may help prevent the build up of heavy metals and other pollutants that we ingest every day.*
