"Humans are the only creatures on earth which feed their children junk calories."  

"My journey with Lupus was a wake-up call. Heart disease, diabetes, eye disorders, arthritis, cancer, etc are also wake-up calls. I don't want YOU to have a wake-up call. Good nutrition is your best health insurance."

"In my work as a Respiratory Therapist in a hospital, I shared along with an RN the duty of educating pulmonary patients regarding their disease and medications. Every morning we would peruse the previous days admissions to find the patients with a pulmonary diagnosis. Gradually as we looked at the admission lists every day I realized a great many of the admissions were for things which could have been prevented with nutrition and lifestyle changes."

We are so conditioned to having convenience (with microwave foods and drive-thru fast food) most of us do not think about nutrition. But we desperately need to.

Let's look at what has happened in the last 50 years with two of the most popular vegetables:

Nutrients in POTATOES have decreased:    Nutrients in BROCCOLI have decreased:

Vitamin A  100%                                                               Calcium 62%
Calcium 28%                                                                     Iron 33% 
Vitamin C and Iron 57%                                                     Vitamin A 55%  
Thiamine 18%                                                                 Thiamine   40%         
Riboflavin 50%                                                                 Riboflavin 42%

This decrease in nutrients has happened in all of our fruits and vegetables.  There-in lies the problem! Our soil is greatly depleted of nutrients by "modern" farming practices. Our produce which is lacking in nutrients to begin with is green harvested! Nutrients are transferred to produce during the ripening process. By green harvesting we cheat ourselves out of the nutrients we need. This is why servings on the food pyramid were increased and why it was recommended in the Journal of the American Medical Association (2002) everyone supplement with a quality multi-vitamin. 

You may have a full plate but you probably aren't getting the nutrition your body needs.

What can you do?

1. Eat whole foods not processed.

2. Eat locally grown food as much as possible. You might even be able to find a local organic grower. 

3. Supplement your diet with a quality multi-nutrition product.

4. Be consciously aware of the nutrition in what you eat. Don't snack mindlessly.

5. Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day. (I recommend spring water.)

Think about this: Every cell in your body is made from the nutrients you put into your body. You are quite literally what you eat. Take it seriously. Your health and longevity depend on it. 

A Word from Pam

When I was battling Lupus I met an RN who introduced me to glyconutrition. I will be forever thankful to her. It changed my life. Someone helped me. I want to help you. Don't hesitate to contact me! Ok?
