The number one dietary strategy for attaining superior health involves eating large quantities of fresh fruits and vegetables. There are thousands of nutrients in fresh fruits and vegetables which the body needs but that you will never get from taking vitamins and isolated supplements.
To prevent chronic disease, such as heart attack, stroke and cancer, the American Cancer Society and the American Medical Association recommend five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Even these major institutions of “mainstream medicine” do not recommend vitamins. Why? Because vitamins are “food fragments”, containing merely a trace of the full spectrum of nutrients you get by eating the real stuff from the grocery store.
Studies show that not even 10% of Americans get the minimum—five servings per day—recommended by ACS and the AMA. This is completely understandable given the hectic pace of our daily lives. It can be pretty hard to find the time to shop for and prepare fresh fruit and veggies each day in the amount we should be getting in our meals and snacks.
Even I have trouble getting enough fresh produce into my daily diet. But here's a solution I've been using—and relying on—for over five years. It is a way to enhance my diet with whole food nutrition, not vitamins and isolated supplements. It is the next best thing to eating large quantities of fruits and veggies.
It has independent scientific research to back it up. You can read about these compelling scientific studies in the “University Medical Center” part of the website (first tab on the left side of the website navigation bar). There is an impressive history of university-based research, as well as clinical and “real world population” studies that are currently being conducted in various countries around the world.
Getting good nutrition is important for many reasons, including fitness, weight loss, healthy development in children, and maintaining health and wellness as we age. These issues are also discussed on the website. And, of course, there is the online store where you can purchase--and actually try for yourself--what I believe is a great, sensible solution to the dilemna of getting enough fruits and vegetables, right here.
