The average American consumes far less than the recommended three to five servings a day of “greens,” and the most beneficial are the deep green leafy vegetables. The United States Department of Agriculture estimates that more than 90 percent of the population fails to eat five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables daily and miss out on some of the most beneficial foods God created.  If you do not get enough greens in your diet, then select a green food and vegetable supplement formula containing cereal grasses and microalgaes, such as spirulina (organic), and chlorella; fermented vegetable juices; fermented seeds, beans and sprouts.

The first step might be as simple, and immediate, as recycling your trash, buying an organic apple or plugging the cracks around your windows with a $3 tube of silicon caulk.

Whole foods are foods in the form they were designed to be eaten; whole foods contain all the nutritional factors (vitamins, minerals, fiber, etc.) needed to digest and use that food. Nutrition is best gleaned from whole foods; however, when nutritional supplementation is necessary, then whole food nutritional supplements offer the greatest nutritional integrity.  So far, more than 25,000 different phytonutrients have been discovered in [whole] fruits and vegetables.
