How To Tell the Difference Between Liquid And Whole Food Supplements

Good nutrition is fundamental to good health. Good health is based on nutrition, a complex system based on a total balance of macro-nutrients and micro-nutrients in correct amounts and synergy.

 "It is one of the key factors in maintaining human optimum growth and development, structure and function, immune system competence, prevention and management of disease states...as well as healthy lifestyle and fitness." Dr. Laz Bannock

Good nutrition is more than your shopping list for the week or the dinner on your plate.

Human nutrition is an essential study of both biochemical and socio-economic factors such as food habits, behaviour, ethnicity, geography, soil, environmental pollution, transportation, markets, physchology, food processing, food technology, storage, advertising, education, income, and exercise.

Nutrition is based on the nutrients found in food. How would you define "nutrients?" The best definition I can share is "nutrients are any substance ingested and assimilated in the process of maintaining growth, metabolic energy, repair, healthy structure, and maximum immune system function." As well, there are essential nutrients which can not be synthesized by the body and must be obtained from food

The value of food becomes indispensable when we realize that degenerative health problems and inflammatory conditions begin with poor or lack of necessary nutrients.

"Illness is inevitably linked with an abnormal biochemistry and an alteration in the metabolism of nutrients and their byproducts." Dr. Bannock

Nutritional diseases can be considered in terms of undernourishment and over-nourishment, varying from lack of specific vitamins or minerals to obesity, an expanding problem. Now scientific evidence continues to verify that many diseases are preventable through diet and good nutrition is linked to long-term proactive aging and health.

Our choice of food cannot be taken for granted. A balanced diet should provide all the nutrients in bioavailable form to maintain energy, body building and protection againts disease.

A healthy diet should have an "ancestral" flavour with servings of raw, natural, unprocessed foods such as whole grains, seeds, nuts, low in fat and rich in fruits and vegetables and plant protein. In fact, the less bar codes on your grocery list the better.

In the same manner, our choice of dietary supplements should not be taken for granted. youThis choice for the right synergy of vitamins and minerals is probably the most important decision you can make for your family's health. But where do you begin to make an informed decision that also draws from a synergy of wholefoods?

Health food stores are filled with a plethora of manufactured "natural" products many with isolated nutrients. Many network marketers promote their special brands of drinks with various super fruits and blends. Juice products such as Noni, Goji, Mangosteen and Acai have become general household names.

As biosciences have evolved, so have the supplements' industries and so has my personal choice. Chews-4-Health is the world's first dietary supplement based on the most nutrient rich sources of both land and sea. This delicious chewable contains over 70 essential nutrients and combines Noni, Goji, Mangosteen, Acai plus 4 sea vegetables, 4 super fruits, resveratrol, B12 and Alpha-Lipoic Acid.
A common question asked is, "How can I compare a liquid superfruit product to Chews-4-Health?" There is really no comparison because Chews-4-Health uses the actual fruits and berries, minus the water. Even Dr. Earl Mindell, who formulated the best selling liquid goji product of all time, recently said, "Chews-4-Health's formulation is far superior because the product contains WHOLE FOOD ingredients and not the watered down version of the berry."

This is such a key point when looking at the health benefits of fruits and berries. God did not design us to DRINK our fruits and berries…we are supposed to eat our food. Our teeth break down the food and our digestive enzymes assimilate them, and this all happens before the ingredients reach the stomach.

Would you drink a pizza, chicken or hamburger, or would you chew and eat them? Doesn't the same logic apply when considering whether to chew and eat your fruits or drink them?

Also, WATER contains no health enhancing phytonutrients, protein or fiber. Chews-4-Health contains only raw materials of the fruit or berry such as the pulp, rind, seeds and skin and that means you are not spending your money on WATER. The average liquid product contains 75-98% water. The human body already contains 75% water and its FREE!

Also, because this supplement contains no liquid, it doesn't require heat pasteurizing, chemical defoaming agents, nor does it contain any chemical preservatives like sodium benzoate (the same chemical used in silver polish and fireworks). These unnatural processes used in the manufacturing of liquid superfruit products can end up destroying the natural potency of the fruit. What is available are whole food vitamins, minerals,amino acids, enzymes and anti-oxidants as Nature intended.

So, there is a choice. You can pick these fresh superfruits directly from the tree or go deep-sea diving and travel over 10,000 miles. Or you can enjoy the economical Chews-4-Health as the best daily source for attaining a full spectrum of superfruits and their nutrients. Your family can benefit from 16 fruits and vegetables daily for less than a dollar.
