Organic Produce protect themselves by producing phytochemicals

A different story is playing out with organic produce. "By avoiding synthetic fertilizers, organic farmers put more stress on plants, and when plants experience stress, they protect themselves by producing phytochemicals," explains Alyson Mitchell, PhD, a professor of nutrition science at the University of California, Davis. Her 10-year study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry showed that organic tomatoes can have as much as 30 percent more phytochemicals than conventional ones.

Unlike prematurely picked supermarket produce, which typically travels hundreds of miles before landing on store shelves, a farmers' market or pick-your-own venue offers local, freshly harvested, in-season fare that's had a chance to ripen naturally—a process that amplifies its amount of phytonutrients, "As a crop gets closer to full ripeness, it converts its phytonutrients to the most readily absorbable forms, so you'll get a higher concentration of healthful compounds." 

Nutritional value of fruits, veggies is dwindling Chemicals that speed growth may impair ability to absorb soil's nutrient

While we've been dutifully eating our fruits and vegetables all these years, a strange thing has been happening to our produce. It's losing its nutrients. That's right: Today's conventionally grown produce isn't as healthful as it was 30 years ago — and it's only getting worse. The decline in fruits and vegetables was first reported more than 10 years ago by English researcher Anne-Marie Mayer, PhD, who looked at the dwindling mineral concentrations of 20 UK-based crops from the 1930s to the 1980s.

It's happening to crops in the United States, too. In 2004, Donald Davis, PhD, a former researcher with the Biochemical Institute at the University of Texas, Austin, led a team that analyzed 43 fruits and vegetables from 1950 to 1999 and reported reductions in vitamins, minerals, and protein. Using USDA data, he found that broccoli, for example, had 130 mg of calcium in 1950. Today, that number is only 48 mg. What's going on? Davis believes it's due to the farming industry's desire to grow bigger vegetables faster. The very things that speed growth — selective breeding and synthetic fertilizers — decrease produce's ability to synthesize nutrients or absorb them from the soil.

Western Diet, Western Diseases??? Is there a correlation

     Our modern Western Diet is not working too well.  In Michael Pollans book, "Food Rules" "an eaters manual, he states that "virtually all of the obesity and type 2 diabetes, 80% of the cardiovascular diseases and cancer can be linked to this diet.  Four of the top 10 killers in America are chronic diseases linked to this diet, and that the arguments in nutritional science are not about this well established link.  He also states that people who get off the Western Diet see dramatic improvements in their health."  Why then do we not see more people shifting to seeking the truth about what needs to be done to have good health and the best nutrition possible for a future and a good quality of life.
     It's about moving toward real food that actually is food and not food like substances.  The choice is always ours as to what we want to learn about whats real and whats sort of like real food.  More and more of us are moving toward the preventive measures and we know that the demand is getting greater and greater as the truth is coming out for those who are willing to get real and get with what actually works to support Optimal Health, not just being alive hoping to have good health all of our lives.  We can't gamble on it, hoping we will win, we have to take this serious, get the facts, educate ourselves in Diet Wellness and create a lifestyle of making real healthy choices for our life, our health, our finances and our future. 

Campaign for Wellness and Create a Lean & Healthy Body for the rest of your Life

Learn how to have a Lean & Healthy Body.  With the Wellness Industry predicted to be the Next Trillion Dollar Industry, some of us have stepped up to the front line of this battle to educate people in Diet Wellness which targets educating in several areas including Diet, Lifestyle and the need for high Quality Supplementation. And since 90% of our food is processed and because deficienciecies tend to rob us of basic nutrients we all need to re-learn how to have that Lean & Healthy Body.  It all works together and sometimes we all just need a little coaching to learn how and what makes this a simple way to get what we really want in our lives. That is what I personally needed to do and the changes I made were so life changing that I know that anyone can so this and also achieve the freedom to choose and to have a Lean & Healthy Body for the rest of Your Life. 

96% worried about health and finances. Who is ready to change that to......

According to a Louis Harris Poll that 96% of the people who lay awake at night are worried about Health AND Finances.
     How many of those people are really ready, willing and able to make the changes we need to make to seek Wellness Solutions and  head towards Financial Independence.  Change, Choice, Personal Responsibility, Independence, and Action will create solutions.   Instead of feeding the disease process and the economic downturn, lets seek reliable effective solutions to those problems rather than being victim to them. 
     Who's ready to take the first baby step toward making this happen and reduce health care costs by getting healthy, and increasing personal and business income to change lives and ultimately change the world.  We say Change your Life, Change the World.  We can do this!!!!

Why not go back to nature for our nutrition???

Did you ever wonder why we moved so far away from the real food  nature provided.  90% of our food is processed and what most people can call food like substances.  We need Real Food and we need it now.  Lets go back to what actually gives us the nutrition we need to support our bodies to be healthy.  God intended for us to eat food in it's most natural state so why don't we do what we need to do?  Lets discuss the reasons why this has gone so far the other way, if you will.  

High Fructose Corn Syrup Contains Mercury as reported in HealthyDay News

Study Finds High-Fructose Corn Syrup Contains Mercury

Wednesday, January 28, 2009; 12:00 AM
MONDAY, Jan. 26 (HealthDay News) -- Almost half of tested samples of commercial high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) contained mercury, which was also found in nearly a third of 55 popular brand-name food and beverage products where HFCS is the first- or second-highest labeled ingredient, according to two new U.S. studies.
HFCS has replaced sugar as the sweetener in many beverages and foods such as breads, cereals, breakfast bars, lunch meats, yogurts, soups and condiments. On average, Americans consume about 12 teaspoons per day of HFCS, but teens and other high consumers can take in 80 percent more HFCS than average.

Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer.  It is  considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure that is too high and is an antidepressant, combats stress and nervous disorders.                      The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of  the largest drug manufacturers in the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that:  It destroys the malignant cells in 12 types of cancer, including  colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas ...The compounds of this tree actually showed 10,000 times better than the product  Adriamycin, a drug normally used chemotherapeutic in the world,  slowing the growth of cancer cells. And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract not only destroys  malignant cancer cells and does not affect healthy cells.

"Organic" principles

Organically grown produce is supposed to be grown on a farm that treats in soil in which it is grown by "organic" principles - no use of commercial fertilizers and special attention to the quality of the soil.
This attention to the quality of the soil produces stronger plants. In the amazing world of farming the "pests" attack the plants grown in poor soil because it perceives them as weak and deficient. In an organic farm the pests don't tend to attack the plants because the plants are strong.
Isn't nature interesting?
