Is
your diet an enemy to your
health? Every time you eat refined foods you exclude
from your diet a certain amount of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, fiber,
and phytochemicals. The result is you slowly weaken an organ or critical body
function.
Preparing herbal teas is a wonderful way to enjoy the benefits
of herbs.

The Surgeon General believes that
65% of diseases are preventable through whole food nutrition. Eating whole
foods delivers to your body a combination of balanced nutrients, many of which
science hasn't even discovered yet! These nutrients were designed to nourish
and protect your body in a way that refined foods and supplements can't. Energy
systems, immune functions, healthy DNA and strong hearts all thrive on whole
food nutrition.
Stevia is
a wonderful dietary supplement used for over 1500 years as a sweetener and for
medicinal purposes. Since the 1970's, stevia has been used in Japan as the main
alternative to sugar, used instead of the banned aspartame in diet soda, gum
and other food and beverages. Stevia is also being used as a sweetener in other
countries after extensive studies proved it's safety. Stevia has been used with
success to treat many ailments including diabetes, high blood pressure,
gingivitis, digestion ailments, addictions, topically for acne and other skin
ailments and also as a wonderful weight loss aid.
Heating helps
break down food structure so nutrients are more available. In moderate
cooking few nutrients are lost and those that remain
are more easily assimilated. Excessive heat damages nutrients in food. Vitamins
are extremely sensitive to heat and minerals can be drawn out of food when
cooked in water. Steaming vegetables is the best way to cook them.
