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.

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.

Due to the lessened nutritional value of modern-raised produce, an increase in environmental pollution, the stresses of modern living, and the spread of viruses, nutritional supplementation is another important factor of living a healthy life.  Few Americans obtain the minimum recommended amounts of vitamins and minerals solely from their diet—therefore, nutritional supplementation may be necessary.  Although each of us requires the same nutrients for proper health, the amount of each can vary considerably, due to a host of factors such as age, genetics, stress levels, lifestyle, and exposure to toxins.
