The Importance of Whole Food Supplements


Wheat kernel comprised of starch and
nutrient-rich bran and germ

Bran and germ are removed, resulting in primarily empty starch (flour).

Processed flour is bleached to improve the appearance and texture of consumer goods.

Bleached flour is enriched by adding in a few isolated B vitamins and iron in an attempt to replace what has been removed.

Nutrient-deficient consumer goods that have the ability to sit on a store shelf for an extended period of time are the final result.

As a nation, we eat poor-quality foods that have been stripped of nutrients. We do not consume enough fresh fruits and vegetables. Many of us get our whole grains from instant rice, refined wheat breads, pastas, and cereal. We eat a tremendous amount of prepackaged, pre-made meals. One-quarter of Americans eat at fast food restaurants each day. Americans are overfed and undernourished.

We eat plenty but we are still starvingThe foods we eat are not providing our bodies with the nutrition it needs to survive and be healthy. We are starving our bodies and we are sick. We suffer from diabetes, heart attacks, obesity, and the list goes on and on.

There is good news
Given proper nutrition, the human body has an amazing ability to heal itself. If properly fed and given the right nutrients, the human body is designed to repair itself. To do so, we need to eat a healthier diet, exercise, and take high-quality supplements made from whole foods. Whole food supplements supply our bodies with nutrients we are not getting from our diet, all the vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, and phytonutrients that foods possess in a way that nature intended, in a whole food form.

Only whole food supplements complete the nutritional gapWhole food supplements are made by concentrating foods for use in supplements. When processed correctly, they supply a multitude of the plant's components. Foods provide nutrients that work synergistically. They work together to provide you with optimal nutrition for good health.

A word of advice: Not all whole food supplements are the same
Many whole food supplements available in today's marketplace range in quality. Companies are riding the wave of supplement popularity rather than focusing on commitment and quality.

Talk to me to learn more about
whole foods and Standard Process products. Better yet complete a "System Survey" so we can detemine exactly what supplements you really need.

  1. I agree, whole food supplements can only complete the nutritional gap. I think lot of people lack in knowledge of this supplements. Taking a survey can help in choosing the right product. Whole food is an unprocessed food as close to its natural state as possible.
