PROCESSED FOODS
The American junk food diet is causing a major epidemic of illness and disease. Our bodies become overloaded with sugar, trans-fats, preservatives, and chemicals. The mass produced and marketed ocean of processed, artificially colored, flavored, and sweetened “food” is not giving us what we need to build or maintain radiant health. Over time, we can no longer maintain an immune system that allows us to fight off many of the auto-immune diseases such as cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. (Just to name a few.)
In order to combat the problem, we need to completely change our eating habits. Easier said than done. Right? The reason we have gone to these “processed foods” in the past is because they are convenient. Just stop by the local fast foods restaurant or pop in a microwaveable meal. It’s true that the issue is “time” for most of us.
SUPPLEMENTS
Many people think that they can continue these bad eating habits by adding a few nutritional supplements. True, they have their place. (If you know what kind of supplements are the best.) But you can’t make up for a poor diet by adding a few vitamins. First of all, the most common form of supplement, tablets and capsules, put a strain on the liver that has to process them. And many times these synthetic laboratory pills are not even recognized or absorbable by the body. Secondly, supplements are meant to do just that; supplement a diet that might have a few missing essentials. Pills don’t replace a meal and they certainly don’t do the job required to rid the backlog of toxins we have already built up.
Because how most of our food is grown and of our depleted soil, the fresh fruits and vegetables we do manage to fit into our diet are lacking many nutrients and trace minerals that we need. We might be tempted to look for some natural supplements to help out and that is good. Natural supplements in the form of organic whole foods and plant based liquids are naturally accepted by our body. It “recognizes” and assimilates them readily, without unnecessary strain. No pills or tablets to metabolize.
WHOLE FOODS – Eating healthy does not have to be a hassle.
So now that we know whole natural foods are the best choice; exactly what are they? A whole food is an organically grown food that is in its whole natural state. Nothing has been added or taken away and they have not undergone chemical alterations. There are no pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides used when growing or harvesting. These foods have not been genetically modified. (Our bodies have a hard time recognizing genetically altered foods.) The Wholefood Farmacy food is also Raw (except those containing corn), meaning heat has not been used, thus sparing the vitamins and enzymes that are often times killed off in most shelf stable foods.
THE WHOLE FOOD FARMACY
Now we get back to the important issue of our “time.” This is where the Whole Food Farmacy comes into play. We offer a complete line of whole and low temperature dried foods that are provided to make our life easier. These can be used as “natural supplements,” in our diet, or as a healthy convenient snack food. No more potato chips, crackers, candy or junk food, just great tasting “whole” raw foods that do not require refrigeration or cooking. (They also have an average shelf life at room temperature of three months. That makes them great for backpacking!)
Our whole natural foods are so nutritious that the body can sustain itself on any combination of different healthful food choices. They are a great resource for children. Getting them to eat healthy raw foods early prevents them from developing cravings for the easily available” junk food.” And there is a great variety to choose from. You would be surprised the amount of things available to appease the most discerning palette. (Including two-year olds.)
