Which Would You Choose?
What do you feed your car?
If you saved your hard-earned money until you had
enough to buy your dream car, what kind of fuel would you put in it?
Would you buy the cheapest gas? Would you dilute the gas with
water? Of course not! You'd consult the
manufacturer and use the fuel that the engine was designed to use in
order to achieve maximum power, highest efficiency and least
wear. Right?
Do you feed your car better than you feed yourself?
In the last 50 years we have shifted our eating
habits drastically! We now eat commercially raised and
commercially processed food. We are eating things that have
been identified as "junk" food. We are eating foods that are
not foods! In fact, I've heard that there are over 15,000
foods on the market that are not even food. We are eating
foods that are ...
- Chemically
grown
- Pesticide
soaked
- Genetically
altered
- Synthesized
- Medicated
- Pasteurized
- Homogenized
- Hormone
injected
- Antibiotic
treated
- Chemically
colored
- Preserved
- Irradiated
- Microwaved
Does that sound a lot like "diluting your gas"?
Fortunately, Scientists Have Discovered
"Real" Food!
Scientists are beginning to recognize that the
foods we eat play a key role in the health and disease that we
experience. In particular, they are finding that "real" foods; ie.,
whole food like
vegetables, grains, fruits, etc. are the best. They've discovered that
in addition to the commonly known vitamins and minerals, these foods
contain many newly discovered "micro-nutrients". They also suspect that
there are thousands of nutrients we don't even
have names for yet! And, most importantly, all of these work
together to contribute to our well-being.
An article titled Beyond Vitamins
appeared in Newsweek a few years ago and stated, "Whole foods
- especially fruits and vegetables - pack a disease-preventing wallop
because they harbor a whole variety of compounds that have never seen
the inside of a vitamin bottle. These compounds are called
"phytochemicals".
It seems to me that eating "real" food,
or whole food supplements,
is just like putting the right fuel in your automobile. In
order to achieve maximum power, highest efficiency, and least wear, it
only makes sense to feed your body the fuel that was designed by the
same engineer who designed you. Wouldn't you agree?
Thought: "You
can get a new car, but not a new body!"
