There are two major factors that
contribute to today’s host of illnesses and diseases...
...our depleted soils, and our everyday eating habits. By identifying
and eliminating the nutrient robbers from your diet, you can maximize
the absorption and retention of your supplements. Get in the habit of
reading labels. Ingredients are listed in the order of their
quantity...the first item is the largest quantity and so on. Highly
refined foods like white flour and white sugar, because they are
un-natural and your body doesn’t know exactly what to do with them, pull
nutrients from your system to facilitate their “processing”. So not only
are processed foods adding virtually nothing from a nutritional
standpoint, they are in many cases, creating unnecessary depletions of
valuable nutrients. Following are some specific nutrient robbers that
should be avoided. Of course, we’re all human and like to have a “treat”
now and then, so if you’re unable to eliminate all of them permanently,
at least try to consume them in moderation. Sometimes just knowing the
detrimental effects of a food or beverage can help to lessen the desire
for it.
Sugar
According to the USDA, a single dose of “refined” sugar, (1 candy bar, 1
soft drink, sugared ice-tea or lemonade) increases the loss of minerals
from your body’s stores by over 300%. Watch for excessive sugars in
products labeled non-fat and low fat—which is why these “non-fat”
products are not effective for weight loss.
The “Bad” Oils
This includes salad dressing with processed vegetable oil, fried foods,
mayonnaise, margarine and cooking oil. These oils encapsulate calcium,
flushing it right out of your body before it can be absorbed. All oils
turn to trans fatty acids when heated to high temperatures during
cooking. Trans fatty acids become free radicals in the body, which
weaken the immune system, increasing your risk of cancer and heart
disease, and other diseases. Much better substitutes are butter, extra
virgin olive oil, coconut or palm oil.
Caffeine
Caffeine will activate adrenaline production and release sugar into the
bloodstream. After the initial energy burst fades, you may notice that
you’re mentally foggy and lethargic feeling. This is because excess
insulin has been produced in an attempt to normalize the rise in blood
sugar. Excess insulin production has been linked to a host of chronic
diseases, as well as causing unwanted fat storage. Caffeine also leaches
calcium out of the body at an alarming rate. Caffeine is in coffee, tea,
chocolate, soft drinks, and many herbs.
Smoking
Most people are fully aware of the dangers of smoking. What many don’t
realize is how smoking drains the body of essential nutrients, resulting
in a variety of diseases. Of course smoking is also responsible for
premature or severe wrinkling of the skin, both on the face and body. If
you must smoke, at least replace those destroyed nutrients with high
potency vitamin and mineral supplements, like Vital Earth’s Super Multi
and Fulvic Mineral Complex.
Carbonated Beverages
There is no such thing as a “healthy” carbonated beverage! All are
harmful, and those with caffeine are even worse. Carbonation neutralizes
digestive enzymes and stomach acid—enzymes are responsible for over 300
complex reactions in the body. Nutritional absorption is seriously
compromised by a lack of enzymes, plus, minerals are better absorbed in
a strong acidic base. In addition, nitrates and phosphoric acid are in
most carbonated drinks, and they inhibit the absorption of nutrients, as
well as cause calcium to be leached from the bones. Don’t drink them at
all!
Why do we crave foods that aren’t
good for us?
High doses of sugar, salt, and trans fat, which are cheap fillers in
convenience foods, cause cravings because they disrupt the brain’s
natural chemical balance. Cravings are not just in your mind! When
natural chemical balance becomes skewed, cravings are almost impossible
to overcome with will power alone. The more processed foods you eat, the
more you crave them...and the vicious cycle continues. Natural hunger
becomes distorted when the body’s chemical balance is upset. Supplying
the necessary substances required for chemical balance is the key to
overcoming unhealthy cravings. Adding supplements to your diet can be
very effective in both removing toxins as well as helping to restore
chemical balances.
The worst chemicals, preservatives,
and food additives—and why you should avoid them…
Check food labels to make sure that what you buy does not contain these
ingredients.

carrageenan causes intestinal ulcers and inflammatory bowel disease in
animals and some research indicates that carrageenan is associated with
causing cancer in humans.

and colon cancer, atherosclerosis, elevated cholesterol, depressed
immune system, allergies

soluble vitamins in the body.

- can cause nervous system, kidney disorders, gastrointestinal upset;
may be carcinogenic.
Saccharin
- delisted as a carcinogen in 1997, however, studies still show that
saccharin causes cancer.
Sulfites
- destroys vitamin B1; small amounts may cause asthma, anaphylactic
shock; dangerous for asthma, allergy sufferers; has caused deaths;
banned on fresh fruits and vegetables, except potatoes.
Sweet 'N Low - contains saccharin.
If the list of ingredients on a package label is long, there are
probably a lot of chemical additives in the product, and you're risking
your health by eating it.
About the only time we can consistently assure healthy dietary choices
is by preparing natural, and unprocessed foods, in our homes. Restaurant
food is typically packed with artificial, processed ingredients—all of
which are nutrient robbers. Make the meals you prepare at home the one
place you know you are doing the right thing for your family.
It’s unrealistic to expect to totally remove all unhealthy foods from
our lives, so how can you counteract their damaging effects?
Many nutrients have the ability to counteract the damaging effects of
toxic substances, so one of the best defenses for maintaining good
health in our fast-food society is by adding supplements to your daily
routine. Fulvic has the power to attach itself to harmful toxins and
flush them from the body. In addition, when you supply your body with
high potency nutrients that contain proper co-factors, like the ones in
Super Multi, you will significantly increase the absorption of the
nutrients in your food. Right now your body’s resources are waging a
daily battle against highly processed foods, preservatives, additives,
toxins, and chemicals. Help protect yourself against disease with
products and lifestyle choices that support and enhance natural immune
system function to its fullest capacity. With some thoughtful changes
you can create lasting health, energy, and well-being for your family.
