Perfect Food is a "Perfect Food"

Eating healthy these days is tough. Getting the recommended 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables daily (2 to 4/fruit and 3 to 6/veg’s) is very hard to do. Even when we do, we may still be lacking in vital nutrients, due to the lack of crop rotation and soil nutrient depletion issues in the farming industry.

However, you can add a "Perfect Food" in addition to a healthy diet to help meet these recommendations. We are!! Perfect Food is a super green formula, whole food dietary supplement formulated by Dr. Rubin S. Jordan (Founder of Garden of Life). Dr. Jordan is also the author of Physician Heal Thyself and The Maker’s Diet and holds degrees in Naturopathic Medicine, Nutrition and Natural Therapies. He is also a contributor to some of the best Nutritional and Medical Journals.

But lets get back to the product.

Perfect Food’s Super Green Formula contains an array of nutrients and compounds. No Super Green Food has more greens per serving, and Perfect Food contains every nutrient found in nature. These include, antioxidants, enzymes, phytosterols, natural plant source probiotics, vitamins, minerals, proteins, essential fatty acids, beta glucans and fiber.

It’s partially pre-digested and highly absorbable, using a trademark Poten-Zyme process. Perfect Food is made from whole vegetables and juices, sprouted grains, seeds, legumes, micro-algae, sea vegetables, and acerola cherries. Just mix a heaping tablespoon with your favorite juice or water and drink down the nourishment you may be missing.

We used to buy Perfect Food (300 gram size) at local health food stores at a cost from $38.00 to $44.00. Now that we have found Vitacost, we can buy it for $31.46. That’s a nice savings! This is just one example of the quality and savings offered at Vitacost!

What should we really invest in!

I was listening to the radio recently and two politicians were discussing how important it was for college students to study finance and learn how to save and invest. This, they said, would help make them successful.

This is great, but what about educating our students on how to really become successful in life. What about learning about how to eat properly and stay healthy. This addition to education could save us a ton of pain and suffering…and in the long run save money, both individually and as a nation.

Did you know that one of the major causes of bankruptcy is medical bills? And most of those who file bankruptcy due to a medical situation, have medical insurance. Is that not staggering?

We are encouraged to begin our adult life by getting a college education and/or a great job. Some of us start a wonderful family and buy a nice home. We may believe that the world is at our finger tips, and that we’re unstoppable. We’ve spent years building the life we always wanted then suddenly bad health creeps up on us.

Chronic illness is occurring earlier and earlier these days. And not just in our senior years any more. There are young people in their teens, twenties and thirties with obesity, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, cancer, etc…need I go on? All these illnesses are not just floating around in the air waiting for some poor unsuspecting soul to jump into and ravage with sickness.

Why are more people overweight these days!

Have you noticed that more and more people are gaining weight easily these days?

What’s up with that!

We DO NOT believe that people are just gluttons. There has to be more to it. We’ve read that as many as 60 to 70% of the population is over weight, 35% are obese. The population in general is probably more sedentary than in the past, even though every time you turn on the TV there is an advertisement for an exercise video. And with all of the TV stations at our disposal, I’m sure people are exercising less and watching television more often.

Yep that’s part of it!

Then of course there’s fast food! Lets examine this more closely.American corporations are notorious for pulling out 99% of the nutrients in food. Could it be that we’re just hungry! Could it be that we are eating more and more to satisfy what the body needs, only to find that the nutrients are not there. Could this lack of nutrients cause us to unconsciously eat even more?

We’ve written about MSG before! It’s in a majority of fast foods and boxed foods. Eating foods containing MSG causes us to crave more of these same foods but leaves us feeling unnourished.

The Benefits of Sunlight!

Despite what we have been led to believe about sunlight, the right amount of responsible sun bathing can make you happier and healthier. Considering the sun as a friend by using it responsibly can be very beneficial as long as we avoid the damaging effects of chronic exposure.

Make sure you understand the risks of skin cancer verses your sunlight needs. Of course we should not get burned or look directly into the sun, but a small amount of daily sunshine on our skin and in our eyes (indirectly) is essential for good health.

New research suggests that sunshine may reduce the risk of many forms of cancer such as prostrate, breast, colon and ovarian cancer. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is our main source of Vitamin D. The major biological function of vitamin D is to maintain normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus. And as we know calcium is essential for good bone health.

Researchers have found that Vitamin D from sunlight also plays a role in increasing the amount of oxygen your blood can transport around the body, which in turn, will boost your energy levels, sharpen your mental faculties and give you an improved feeling of well-being.

Cancer!...And The Connection To Antibiotics!

This is what we’ve learned and believe to be true about Cancer. Take it for what its worth. It does not have to be something that You believe. It is not set in stone. It just happens to be what WE believe to be true.

Cancer is a very serious illness and an informed approach should be taken with regards to regaining your health or the health of a loved one when attacking this dreaded disease or any serious illness.

It is added here…simply as food for thought.

We’ve mentioned before that we've been reading Doug Kaufmann's books and watching his health show for about 5 years now. We have two of his books, "The Fungus Link" and "The Germ that causes Cancer".

Doug Kaufmann primarily looks at the role that fungus/yeast plays in modern illness and how antibiotics contribute to disease.

Antibiotics are fungal by-products called mycotoxins...Which of course means they are made from fungus...The same way that Penicillin was made, when accidentally discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1928.

But it wasn’t until the early 1950’s that antibiotics…namely Penicillin became widely used. However, one of the major side effects of antibiotics, is the breeding of resistant bacteria. Therefore, more effective antibiotics had to be produced.
