Are you suffering from a Nutritional Deficiency?

Where is my vitality?

Why do I ache all over?

Why am I tired even after I have had “plenty” of sleep?

Like millions of Americans – You may be experiencing the signs of nutritional deficiency. Food is the fuel that energizes our body for work, play and healing. It is the source of our vitality and contains all substances necessary for the regulation of all our bodily processes. Human life has advanced for

eons using nothing more than natural foods from plants and animals, along with fresh water

and clear air. But our environment has become very polluted. Most people live far removed from farms and have no gardens. Food is processed to allow for long distance transportation and a long shelf-life, not nutritional content. Synthetic compounds are used to increase crop yields, to add flavor, and to preserve food. Then we use synthetic vitamins and medications to treat deficiency diseases caused by depletion of life-giving nutrients. What a vicious cycle!

What are synthetic compounds?

Synthetic - noun: something resulting from synthesis rather than occurring naturally; especially : a product (as a drug or plastic) of chemical synthesis. Merriam-Webster Online Dict. Synthetic compounds are fake, false, artificial. They are not found in nature, they are the result of man-made alterations to nature. It seems that sooner or later most, if not all of these synthetic compounds are found to cause some type of symptom pattern or disease. Even “miracle” drugs are found to be the cause of disease, degeneration and sometimes death - sooner or later. People are suffering and taking medications to stop the suffering. Medications come with long lists of side effects. One of the side effects appears to be nutritional deficiency. When a person is suffering from a nutritional deficiency or the side effects of pollution of our air, water or food, wholesome food is the answer, not more synthetic

compounds. Treat the cause - not the symptoms.

Only 50 years ago, baby formula was considered equal to mother’s milk. Now it is laughable to think that people actually believed that a laboratory could make something equal to or better than Mother Nature. There are hundreds of nutrients, enzymes, co-enzymes, vitamins and minerals in mother’s milk. Things scientists don’t even know about yet and could not “create” if they did know about them are in mother’s milk and in all natural foods. Go to: www.promom.org/101/index.html for all the information you need about mother’s milk.

The point?

Mother’s milk is an example of Nature’s perfection in the feeding of human babies. After we are weaned from our mother’s milk our nutrition quality goes downhill fast. “Junk” and fast “foods” don’t support health - only wholesome foods will. I suggest that much of our suffering, our disease and health deterioration is due to low quality nutritional support. We need to understand this and begin to make choices which will build our health rather than tear it down. Need Good News? We have a solution!

The solution?

Whole foods and wholefood concentrates. “Anything Nature made is better than everything man-made.” How do I find out if I have a Nutritional Deficiency?

What is a Nutritional Deficiency?

A condition of the body in which the essential Health Building nutritional factors are not available (from what you eat) to establish or maintain optimal health.

What conditions can be caused by Nutritional Deficiencies?

Virtually every condition the body can experience is connected to a nutritional deficiency.

What causes Nutritional Deficiency?

Pollution of the air, water and food with chemicals, pesticides and other toxins drain your body of essential nutrients. Junk food, incorrectly prepared foods, and foods eaten in poor combination with other foods result in poor digestion of essential nutrients and drains your body of enzymes, coenzymes and other Health Building factors. These are the causes of the development of nutritional deficiencies.

What can I do to build my health?

Eat simple foods – Unprocessed foods whenever possible. Enhance your digestive process by taking enzymes, coenzymes and other Health Building catalysts and wholefood supplements especially if you are deficient. Drink good pure water, get a moderate amount of exercise – daily walks for example – and enjoy the benefits of regular natural health care check-ups.

Why Wholefood Supplement Products?

The health building qualities of wholefood supplements are effective and have stood the test of time. Made from organically grown foods, millions of people have benefited from wholefood supplementation.

Nutritional Deficiency families Genetics.jpg

What about my family - could they have signs of Nutritional Deficiency?

YES – Nutritional Deficiencies do tend to run in families for various reasons: Genetics, environment (air, water, food), and similar food patterns are a few of the reasons. It is wise to check all family members early and regularly (every six months) to help insure their health is supported as best as one can with the benefits of Health Building Catalysts. So see your wellness practitioner today and ask about tests for nutritional deficiencies. Some examples are hair mineral analysis, body system survey (your symptoms tell you a lot about what you are missing), blood chemistry, food allergy testing, biofeedback, nutritional exam, system strength analysis, and many more simple diagnostic procedures. These tests are usually inexpensive and will detect and prevent avoidable nutrient deficiency related conditions. *liveitlifestyle.com
