Trillions of cells depend on you to feed them daily.  Billions of new ones are created every day.  They need high quality nutrition to keep them functioning properly.

We are told to eat a balanced diet.  We try, but it is not always easy getting 7-9 servings of fruits and vegetables each day.  How are you doing?

Even when we can get all we should, the foods we eat containing the nutrients our cells need, just aren’t meeting our needs.  In fact, a 2004 study of 43 crops showed a decline in the nutrient content of up to 38% over the past 50 years.  It is now 2011, how much more of a decline has there been?

Your body cannot manufacture all the nutrients it needs on it own.  It needs your help.  Proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle can prevent many major diseases 60-90% of the time!

Those major diseases are up.  In 10 years from 1999-2009, heart disease is up 9.3%, cancer 19.6%, and diabetes is up a whopping 34.5%!

Yet according to the American Heart Association, 80% of all heart disease in women is preventable with proper nutrition and healthy lifestyle choices.

The American Cancer Society reports that 60% of all cancer-related deaths can be prevented by improving lifestyle choices—being physically active, losing weight, stopping smoking, and getting proper nutrition.

Diabetes is the illness multiplier.  It contributes to more than 230,000 deaths very year.  A recent study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine suggests that 90% of all type 2 diabetes is preventable with proper nutrition, achieving a healthy weight, and engaging in other healthy lifestyle behaviors.

Are you seeing a trend here? 

We are overfed and undernourished.  Our super busy lifestyles drive us to make compromises of convenience with regard to what we eat, when we eat, and how much we eat.  Many products that are marketed as “healthy” foods are filled with sugar, fat, and artificial ingredients.

Make an investment in yourself.  Proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle can help prevent health issues in the future.
