Whole food nutrition should be as close as possible to what nature intended. You will quickly see how this information relates to whole food nutrition. The power of fruits and vegetables goes well beyond a balanced diet. To clarify the difference between whole foods and processed foods, and whole food nutritional supplements versus the average, adulterated, isolated, synthetic supplements, let's "dissect" whole, unrefined grains. Whole, unrefined grains contain three main parts: the germ - or sprouting part of the grain; the endosperm-containing starch to support the young sprout during its early stages; and the bran - the protective layer encasing the sprout and its endosperm. Herein lies the beauty of whole food nutritional supplements.

Refined, processed, low fiber foods, animal fats, a lack of exercise and an ever-increasing level of stress all contribute to our current gastrointestinal health crisis. The health of American's digestive tract and colon have reached an all-time low. We also offer information that can help make sense of food labels and allow families enjoy healthy eating on a busy schedule. Some publications and classes are available in Spanish. It's usually the " foodstuffs" that are man made or processed to provide extra kick that set you up for a crash, poor health and lowered performance.

This thought process also applies to your pet! A pet's diet, the biggest health variable controlled by its owner, is crucial to its well-being. Selection of a healthy pet food is a loving choice for your pet. The human body-field can be considered as a road map, but instead of directing "people on their journey", it directs "information around the body to govern and coordinate healthy activity". The human body-field is in essence, a dynamic, self-regulating, intelligent, energetic information control mechanism.

Natural and artificial flavors are also often grouped together under one name, and manufacturers aren't required to disclose what "artificial flavors" really means. The exception here is a new ruling by the FDA, to begin January 1, 2006, that states any food containing a "major food allergen" must have it listed on the label (whether or not its part of flavoring or incidental additives). Not all fats are bad and, in fact, some should be required in any diet. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats found in foods such as nuts, avocados, fish, olives, and most oils help lower 'bad' cholesterol levels without affecting 'good' cholesterol levels.

We are sharing information we believe in and feel it is not commonly found in mainstream media. As a nutrition researcher, I have known for quite some time about the numerous ill effects of too many simple sugars in our diet. Table sugar is made up of glucose and fructose, and the average American eats over 2 pounds of this health robbing ingredient! Charles Elson, researcher at the University of Wisconsin, studies on individual supplements has been inconclusive at best.
