Nutrition Information, Resources and Supplements

"Out of 2.1 million deaths a year in the United States,
1.6 million are related to poor nutrition."
-- C. Everett Koop, Former Surgeon General

The value and importance of nutrition is not new. The Soviets started nutritional research in the 1940's in order to improve the performance of all of their athletes, military and other elite members of society.

"The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease." -- Thomas Edison

When the body is depleted of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids, it weakens, making it susceptible to a whole host of diseases and malfunctions. But when your body is given good nutrition -- whole foods that are free of toxins and that are processed in ways that preserve the life force energy of the food, you achieve greater states of wellness, including:

Reduced affects from stress and high pressure situations that suppress the immune system and diminish energy.
Increased energy, stamina and endurance.
Elevated mood level, more alert attention span and more focused concentration, which leads to improved physical and mental performance levels.
Greater ability for the body to relax and achieve deeper, more rejuvenating sleep.
Faster recovery from physical and mental activity and injuries.
Rejuvenated and strengthened immune system, which provides greater protection to the vital organs and their functions.
Better regulated hormones, which leads to a more regulated menstrual cycle in women

When your diet is nutritionally sound, your body is better able to fend off stress, environmental pollution, diseases and free radical damage.

"Leave your drugs in the chemist's pot if you can heal the patient with food." -- Hippocrates
