Nutrition

The recipe for better health is as simple as 1-2-3…fruits, vegetables, and grains.

Each one of ours cells gets thousands of oxidative hits every single day. Oxidation = aging. Aging = oxidation. The less oxidation that occurs within our bodies the slower the aging process will take. We can stay looking, feeling, and performing better when we balance the micro and macro nutrient foods we eat.

“Fruits and vegetables contain a variety of powerful antioxidants that fight oxidation in the body. When you burn a pile of wood, you get smoke. When your body burns fuel, oxidation occurs. You’ve got heart cells, bone cells, lung cells - every kind of cell. Billions of cells. Each one of these cells gets thousands of oxidative hits every single day. You’ve got to have some antioxidants there to fight that kind of oxidation. And they’ve got to be there on a regular basis. Free radicals, the by product of these oxidative hits, can be neutralized only by antioxidants” Richard E. Dubois, M.D., Chief of Internal Medicine, Atlanta Medical Center

The best source of antioxidants is not an isolated vitamin or a specific antioxidant. The best source is whole food.

“It is whole foods – especially fruit and vegetables – that pack the disease preventing wallop. That’s because they harbor a whole array of compounds that have never seen the inside of a vitamin bottle for the simple reason that scientists have not, until recently even known they existed, let alone brewed them into pills.”
