Vital Nutrients

Foods heal illness, provide our cells with energy, prevent disease and build our immunity. Nutrients that Protect the System: Whole foods such as vegetables and fruits provide phytochemicals which are naturally occurring compounds like beta-carotene that are found naturally in many plants and evidence suggests help protect from some cancers and high blood pressure.\n\nWhen whole food vitamin capsules are made from natural sources, they would contain the entire range of several vitamins and minerals along with several micro-nutrients. Rather than simply isolating these nutrients, they remain attached to their whole food ingredients to allow the body to recognize and readily utilize them.\n\nBut they add with some consideration that if you do take whole food vitamins, take the natural ones instead of the synthetic pills, compiled in labs and marketed with pomp and glitter. Calcium contained in most traditional supplements will contain only calcium carbonate or calcium citrate with the possible addition of Vitamin D or may contain D1-calcium-phosphate which is completely insoluble and cannot be absorbed.\n\nThese foods are often high in preservatives and low in nutritional value, so over time we can build up serious deficiencies of the nutrients our bodies need. Thirdly, there must be dozens of ingredients including vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts, amino acids, and enzymes.\n\nThere is a difference between whole foods and high potency synthetics, and your body knows it. Test animals on a high potency enriched diet do not live as long as those on the same low vitamin diet without enrichment. For example look for spices such as cloves and cinnamon for natural metabolic boosters or acidophilus and bifidus with inulin for healthy gut and digestion.
