But I eat healthy!
“But I eat healthy! Why do I feel bloated, sluggish, tired, no energy (insert feelings of blah here) all the time?”
How can we feel so good incorporating supplemental superfoods and yet we don’t feel the same when we eat “healthy”?
The problem isn’t the fruits and veggies you’re eating – it’s everything surrounding it.
Because of soil depletion, crops grown decades ago were much richer in vitamins and minerals than what we get today at the grocery store or in markets.
Our soil is so nutritionally bankrupt that what we eat now (yes, including organic) is not the same as it was years ago. Improper farming practices, toxins in the environment and depleted minerals in water rob the soil of nutrients.
When plants are repeatedly grown on the same land, the soil loses nutrients faster than they can be replaced. Fertilizer contains just enough nutrition for the plant to survive until harvesting, but not enough to support human health. This results in plants that have 75% fewer micro-nutrients.
In addition, most plants are not harvested fresh. They sit on trucks, shelves, and counters for weeks before being eaten. Over time, the nutrient content of these plants continues to decrease.
When you supplement properly, with the best nutritional superfoods, you give your body what it craves in a natural way, while also incorporating your whole foods. It’s a win-win for kids, families, those who want to release weight, are looking for more energy, are a pro athlete, and so much more.
