Post #3/ Whole Food Nutrition

Eating a whole food diet provides the nutrition that is needed with today's lifestyles.  That might sound almost counter-intuitive as everyone seems to be in such a hurry, all day long.  But, that is precisely the point; the more stressful our lifestyle, the more necessary it is to eat well...and, sleep well.  Whole foods restore natural vitality to those seeking wellness.  There is no chance of attaining wellness ( You'll notice I don't say, "attaining health"...that's because, by definition, the state of health is merely the absence of symptoms of sickness or disease...a far cry from, "wellness.") without incorporating primarily whole foods into our diet.

You might be interested to know that supplements, with one exception, are NOT whole food.  This means that all those billions of dollars we spend on supplements each year not only aren't helping us, they very well often are hurting us.  When your medical doctor tells you that you need "a" calcium or vitamin D3 or a multi-vitamin, he/she hasn't bothered to read their own medical research.  That is sad, indeed.  No supplement purchased from a pharmacy, Wall Mart or online vitamin company is whole food.  The only supplements that have been proven to increase bone density, for instance, are whole food sources of supplementation.  Read the label on your calcium bottle.  I guarantee that if you haven't purchased that calcium from a whole food supplement company, the label says your calcium is from: carbonate, lactate, citrate, hydroxyapetite or some other calcium salt.  Anyone interested in the actual research substantiating my statement about the calcium need only to contact me about it.  There are precious few companies that offer a true whole food, organic supplement...we handle one such company's nutrients.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

There are very few times when I can make a generalized statement and feel good about it.  I will, now.  Whole food is the key; it is the answer and solution to creating a long, "wellness" life.

Now that we know the kind of food we should eat, I think I'll talk a bit about the best way to prepare these foods...including the type of pans and pots we use...next time.
