| Nutritional Information and FAQ Eat Well To Avoid Being Malnourished |
What is good nutrition vs. bad or malnutrition?
You may be thinking, malnutrition that occurs in third world nations and
places of poverty. I eat right and I eat a lot. You may even be overweight
and believe that is proof that perhaps you are getting too much nutrition. But
that would be exactly wrong. Malnutrition occurs when there is a failure to
achieve nutrient requirements, impairing physical and/or mental health. It
may result from consuming too little food or a shortage or imbalance of key
nutrients and it may exist even when someone eats too much of the wrong
kinds of foods which lack sufficient nutrition.
If I maintain or gain weight can I be malnourished?
If one's diet consists mainly of foods that are high in calories but low in
nutrients, one may be malnourished despite gaining weight or being
overweight. Most food marketing promotes highly processed, nutrient-poor
food. Nutrient-poor foods will give you calories with nothing to show for it.
Many of these foods actually have to rob nutrients from your body that are in
storage in order to even be digested. Refined sugar and white flour are two
examples of nutrient-poor food.

microorganisms.Year after year crops are produced but nutrients are not returned
to the ground. In addition, herbicides and pesticides have killed off much of the
micro organisms that are vital to a good soil ecosystem. Good soil organisms receive
little recognition as being important to crop production and this has caused our
food supply to be less nutrient rich.
What can I do to get better nutrition?
Improve your eating habits. Erratic eating habits can contribute greatly to poor
nutrition in today's hectic-pace lifestyle. Poor eating habits can cause poor
digestion. Poor digestion inhibits the assimilation of nutrients. You can suffer from
poor digestion with it going unnoticed for quite some time. Digestion and
assimilation of proper nutrients also depends, to a great extent, on properly
combining the foods we eat. Aging may also contribute to deficiency in many
essential nutrients. Properly combining the right foods we eat at a meal; taking
live-plant digestive enzymes before we eat cooked foods and a regular exercise
program to support a healthy lymph system all contribute to getting the most from
out food nutritionally.
How should I eat to get the most from my food?
Eat fruit by itself on an empty stomach. Let 20-30 minutes elapse after eating fruit
before eating other foods. Let three hours elapse after eating cooked foods before
eating fruit again. Eat more fresh, uncooked vegetables and salads. Do not combine
proteins and starches at the same meal. You find very little really healthy food at
restaurants. Processed foods should be kept at a minimum. Prepare meals at home
when you can. Eat slowly and enjoy the experience with family and friends.
What is organic food and organic supplements:
Organic food puts emphasize on the use of renewable resources and the
conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality. Organic food is
produced without conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients
or sewage sludge; genetic engineering; or ionizing radiation. Before a product can
be labeled "organic," a Government-approved certifier inspects the farm where the
food is grown to make sure the farmer is following all the rules necessary to meet
USDA organic standards. Companies that handle or process organic food before it
gets to you must be certified, too.
What organic food is, is food grown as it was for thousands of years until the
chemical companies decided to poison the land in order to profit at the expense of
us all while claiming to be benefiting us all. The food produced with chemical
pesticides and fertilizers including phosphates is chemically polluted, nutritionally
deficient and dangerous to your health. If you talk to anyone who used to use
chemical products and now grows organic food products they will tell you that their
crops are healthier, more disease resistant and less prone to insect attack since they
stopped using chemicals. Yet each of these points has been claimed by the chemical
manufactures of agricultural products to be the benefit of using their products.
The organic farmers I've talked to say this is rubbish and when they were farming
using chemical products, they had to use more and more year after year and
stronger and stronger and more dangerous products at that to maintain their plants.
Is organic food better for you?
While organic foods may contain some additives and pollutants, studies have found
organically produced foods to have many health benefits, however the USDA makes
no claims that organically produced food is safer or more nutritious than
conventionally produced food. However, organic food means eating food in a much
purer form than conventional food and with less undesirable additives. It has been
grown with less environmental pollutants.
Is organic food more nutritious?
Yes. Studies have reported that organic produce has higher levels of vitamin C,
certain minerals, and antioxidants. How nutritious it is ultimately depends on how
well the mineral balance of the soil is maintained. And of course organic foods have
less poisonous pesticides and other harmful chemicals.
Are food supplements beneficial?
While nothing can replace a healthy, wholesome diet, food supplements offer the
benefits of a concentrated source of nutrients that food alone cannot provide. Not
even organic grown foods can fully supply the concentration of nutrition that a food
supplement can.
Are supplements necessary if I eat healthy?
They likely are if you diet is inadequate and depending on the quality of your
organic food. Food supplements ensure an adequate supply of essential nutrients to
maintain basic health. Supplements help protect against toxins and prevent cell
damage. They are used to fight disease and combat early aging. When used in
addition to a healthy diet and regular exercise, supplements can help you reach an
optimal state of health. To afford ourselves the best opportunity to receive the
nutrition our bodies require food supplements along with fresh organic food.
Do food supplements just supply vitamins for nutrition?
In addition to food supplement's providing necessary nutrients, more is available.
Supplements can provide minerals, amino acids (the building blocks or protein) and
herbal blends from food and plants to target specific areas of the body or the organ
and gland system. Ancient civilizations relied on herbs for food and medicinal value.

What contributes to nutrient-poor food?
There are a number of causes. Processing, cooking and preserving food
leads to nutrient depletion. The quality of the foods we buy is often
poor, in part, due to being genetically bred to improve yields, to look
appealing and to withstand a long period of time o reach the marketplace.
Nutrient-depleted soil is also unable to provide fruits and vegetables with the
high amounts of vitamins and minerals they may have at one time
contained. Soil today is often terribly depleted in trace minerals and healthy
