An apple a day? No way!
You've all heard the saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away." It turns out that the old adage no longer holds true. Today the saying should go, "26 apples a day keep the doctor away." You read that correctly...26! According to Dr. Al Sears, you would have to eat 26 of today's apples to equal just one apple from 1914. Today's commercial farmers grow fruits and vegetables that are designed to look good on the shelf but they do not contribute to our health. These foods are little more than pulp and water; and harsh fertilizers leave the soil with few-if any- minerals to nourish the plants. Our food has been stripped of the nutrients we need. The produce we get from our grocery stores is lacking the necessary vitamins, minerals and fiber.
Are we doomed to a life lacking in good health, vitality and energy? Not according to Dr. Sears. He suggests a diet which he calls "Ultra Greens" which includes so-called "super foods" like spirulina, chlorella and chlorophyll which are packed with concentrated nutrition and all the vitamins we need but may not be getting from our produce.
Spirulina is the oldest food on earth, arriving on the planet over 3.5 billion years ago. It's actually a kind of blue-green algae and is the world's richest source of vitamins, minerals, iron and protein, as well as a host of other energizing and detoxifying nutrients. In one study, children who took just one gram of spirulina a day for six months showed a dramatic improvement in their academic scores. Other benefits that can be obtained by taking these super foods are:
*better overall immune system response.
* better ability of the body to eliminate toxins
*improved digestion
*enhanced oxygen delivery to the body's cells
*healthy cholesterol and blood pressure levels
*better growth and repair of cells, tissues and organs.
So, we should be wary of the traditionally healthy foods that we see on our grocers' shelves and consider alternative means of nutrition. Just some food for thought.
