Whole Health Foods and You – What you need to know!
Posted by: | CommentsLooking to improve your quality of life? Switching to whole health foods will cause your body to do back flips, eliminate that tired sluggish feeling and improve your quality of life.
There are plenty of benefits to eating whole foods and the sooner you start the better you’ll feel. Eating whole foods leaves plenty of immediate health benefits as well as the obvious ideological ones.
One of the most important reasons to eat whole health foods is simply to see the difference that this diet will impart.
In today’s world, if you’re anything like me, you run around from morning until night, and the food that is readily available to you is no where near as good for you as you would like.
The overly processed food that saturates our supermarkets results in us eating more and still not getting the same nutritional benefits or satisfaction that we would get from a smaller amount of whole health food.
Do you remember food tasting better when you were younger? Over the last few decades, food processing has increased a great deal, leaving us with food that is poorer in tastes and nutritional benefit.
Do you know that it would take 38 cans of todays spinach to equal the nutritional value of just one 1954 can of spinach. That is a big difference!
Your whole family will reap the benefits of your shopping for whole health foods. If you have young children, an increase in whole foods will improve their memory and their attention span, something that is essential during their early developmental year.
With older family members, a diet of whole health foods provides a boost in energy. With more energy to spare, I’ve found that people have a good deal more patience for each other, something that any family can use!
Buying whole health foods is also a great way to introduce environmental responsibility to your family.
Did you know that the normal processing that goes into regular foodstuffs contributes heavily to air pollutants? With this in mind, even a small thing like switching your household over to whole foods can make an important difference.
Eating whole foods is a way to be eco friendly while integrating this theme into your family’s regular life.
When we talk about leaving a legacy to our descendants, we’re usually talking about property or money or trust funds, but what about things like their planet and their bodies?
Through eating whole foods, your family is making an investment in the future and ensuring that the planet your grandchildren receive is as clean and as unspoiled as possible.
Likewise, kids who grow up on a healthy diet pass this on to their children, so you are helping untold generations to lead healthy, fulfilled lifestyles! Insure that you leave an inheritance of environmental concern to you family beside the heirlooms.
Take a look at your diet and then take a look at the world around you. If you’re looking for a way to make a difference in both your own health and that of a planet take a look at whole health foods!

Are Whole Foods Your Medicine?
Posted by: | Comments2,000 years ago Hippocrates said “Leave your drugs in the chemist’s pot if you can heal the patient with food”. Science has always known the role whole food plays in our health, even 2,000 years ago!
Unfortunately, this simplistic, smart way of thinking has mostly been discarded in American culture.
Hippocrates’ idea fell by the wayside during the first 50 years of the 20th century, as the discovery that many deficiency diseases began to occurred due to food processing.
This lead to “enrichment” of processed foods to help people regain health lost when they abandoned real whole foods.
Did you know it’s possible to eat all day long and still starve yourself?
If what you eat are foods with little to no nutrition, such as over-cooked foods, processed and many purchased foods, you won’t get the nutrients your body needs to function properly, let alone heal itself of any disease.
All the body has to work with are the foods we put into it, and it needs the best foods we can give it, to combat the stress and environmental toxins we can’t avoid in today’s world.
Whole foods act as “medicine”, in that they protect and heal the body. In other words, if we fortify the body with healthy nutrients from live fresh foods, we likely won’t have a need for medicine.
Individual foods each have their own unique set of nutrients which meet the varying requirements of the body. This is why it’s so important to eat a wide variety of foods; to ensure that your body gets all of the diverse nutrients that it needs.
Consider fresh vegetables, which are among the most powerful of foods.
Vegetables contain natural antioxidants including vitamins A, C, E, carotenes, zinc, selenium, bioflavonoids, tocopherols, lutein and quercetin and many beneficial phytochemicals. These help to fight age-related and chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease, boost the immune system, fight osteoporosis, lower your risk of diabetes, and slow brain aging.
In addition, they help alkalinize the body, as most of us are too acidic.
Eating healthy vegetables each day, gives us more complete nutrition than any multi-vitamin supplement. The combination of substances in a whole food is more effective than any specific dietary nutrient that has been isolated and artificially combined with other nutrients.
However, supplement companies ( many of which are drug manufactures ) have provided cheap chemical imitations which do not work.
You are the one who controls what goes into your body. So choose foods that have the greatest nutritional value and try to eat them in a way that maximizes the nutrient value to your body. In most cases, this means LIVE (raw).
At least one-third of all the food you eat should be raw, because cooking and processing destroys essential micronutrients.
Did you know the new standard is 10 -13 servings of fresh fruits and veggies per day for adults, for optimal good health?
By using Nuriche LiVE, getting your 10 servings of farm-fresh fruits and vegetables each day is extremely easy to do.
Never forget … “Health truly is Wealth.”
Without our health, financial wealth doesn’t matter. Our health must be our #1 priority if we are going to live happy lives.
So why not make fresh, live whole foods your new medicine?
