Super Foods Provide High Powdered Nutrition Fast
January 15th, 2008
More people are suffering from malnourishment than ever before, even though they are actually eating more. The misconception that more food means better nutrition has given rise to a billion dollar supplement industry. The fact that nearly two thirds of Americans take some type of vitamin supplement regularly shows that people already know their diets are lacking in nutrition.
Supplemental nutrition is big business because food is so bad Even the fresh food we get today is not as nutrition as it was even 30 years ago. Many diets consist of highly processed, prepackaged foods that contain fillers, preservatives and artificial chemicals. To get proper nutrition you must eat a diet filled with lots of fresh vegetables, whole grains and whole foods.
Malnutrition is BIG money
You may be taking vitamin or mineral supplements yourself. Nutritional supplements are a 20 billion dollar a year industry. Yes, even as the use of supplements has grown the level of diseases has not dropped. In fact many rates have increased. Does this mean that taking supplements doesn’t work?
Not all nutritional supplements are the same. are you getting your nutrients from whole foods or synthetic tablets? Your body was not designed to gleen it’s nutrition from synthesized vitamins, it has a highly complex system that removes and absorbs what it needs form food. In fact many people are not aware that their bodies are not able to use the vitamins they take.
A good nutritional supplement must nourish the body and assist in cleansing it to some extent. Not all supplements are created equal. One of the main things to consider when deciding to try a nutritional supplement is whether the nutrients are from whole foods or whether they are synthetic. Is your body able to use the vitamins you already take?
Super foods is a term for super green powders containing Spirulina chlorella kelp and other green vegetables. The primary advantage of using this form of nutritional supplement is that the nutrition in this powder is easily and immediately digested and used by your body. Unlike synthesized vitamin tablets, there are no fillers or tablets to digest first.
Food that is cheap is not always nutritional, meaning plenty of food is not plenty of nutrition.
Real whole food is obviously better for you than processed food, however refined foods have become the staple for most diets. We have not changed our diet, as a species, in tens of thousands of years. However, only 75 to 100 years ago the way we grow and prepare food started to change on a massive scale. These changes happened in everything from the types of foods grown to the way they were processed, manufactured and prepared. Sugar and refined flours were added to almost everything.
Regardless of which foods you choose or how much you eat, typically whole foods provide more nourishment than refined foods. For example: Maple syrup is healthier than white sugar just as brown rice is better for us than white rice. This same analogy holds true for vitamins. Using supplements that are from whole foods provide your bodies with easily digestible, bio available and highly concentrated nutrients. Super green foods are a simple and economical way to eat your greens and eliminate taking fistfuls of vitamins.
