IF YOU VALUE YOUR HEALTH - READ THIS!
Think of what you spend - on your appearance, your lifestyle, your car, your holidays!! You expect to spend £500 on a car service but how much do you spend on your inner body? More importantly, do you know what goes on inside you?
Like so many, I never, ever stopped to think how my body works and how we arrive at the onset of a degenerative disease. I thought "Well, we all get them at some stage and that is the luck of the draw as to which one and at which time in our lives." When we do find ourselves ailing we blindly go to our doctor to see which prescription he is going to write out for us and hopefully think it will do the trick. This is the only thing we tell ourselves. But is it? Never did I think to look at it from a different angle and that we could prevent the degenerative disease in the first place. I also never thought that what we eat could be associated with a degenerative disease. Yes, I knew that if we eat too much fat and sugars we could end up with heart disease and other problems but never actually associated arthritis or cancer or osteoporosis etc etc with a nutrient deficient diet, ie lack of vitamins and minerals. I thought that as long as I eat well - good vegetables and lots of fruit that I would be getting all the nutrients I need. Little did I know!! Little did I know that most of the essential nutrients are being removed from our food during the processing, all for the sake of making them look good and to be convenient for selling. Traditionally, Governments and health experts have told us we get all the anti-oxidants we need in our diet through our vitamin intake. However, scientists have now proved beyond doubt that this is certainly untrue as the foods we eat are grown on nutritionally depleted soil, saturated in chemicals, pesticides and herbicides and over processed (with manufacturers adding substances for longer shelf life) by the global food chains. This makes for pretty unhealthy eating (and reading!!). The idea that our Western diet is healthy is just not true. We may be overfed but we are also undernourished. Conclusion little or no goodness is getting into our systems and the onset of a degenerative disease is therfore imminent, from day one! Coupled with high fat diet, lack of exercise, pollutants, smoking and increasing stress levels means although paradoxically we are living longer, our latter years are spent with circulatory disease, high blood pressure, arthritis, diabetes, chronic fatigue alzheimers, macular degeneration, strokes, heart attacks, burst aorta valves, multiple sclerosis and a host of up to another 60 main degenerative diseases your body can suffer from. ALL THIS FROM MALNUTRITION........!! In other words a complete lack of knowledge about our own bodies and a lack of help from the majority of the medical profession, who by their own admission, have a totally incomplete training about nutritional health from the preventative angle. The Pharmaceutical Companies control the medical establishments and in financial language have absolutely no interest in helping us prevent degenerative disease. Governments are controlled by multinational interests who donate large sums to political parties like Monsanto (GM crops)....—.???? So, in easy to understand language, scientists have proved that our body needs 59 essential nutrients daily, but that we are not getting this anymore through our food, no matter what, or how much we eat. The human body is made up of trillions and trillions of cells. From day one these cells are bombarded by free-radicals which in laymans terms, if allowed to run unchecked WILL LEAD to cell damage and a characteristic degenerative disease. Free radicals are produced in our cells in certain conditions and when they are present in excess it can lead to cellular damage where the cell membranes can breakdown and the flow of nutrients in and out are impaired. The chemical definition of a free radical is that it can damage cell tissue by 'stealing' electrons from nearby molecules which are otherwise balanced in order to bring themselves back into balance. The neighbouring molecule which has been 'robbed' then 'steals' further electrons to rebalance itself, and so it continues. So every single day free-radicals bombarded our system without any of our natural defences being able to truly cope, thereby guaranteeing the onset of a degenerative disease. Increasing evidence shows that this damage is behind the aging process and diseases associated with it. What can neutralise these dangerous free-radicals and keep signs of aging degenerative diseases at bay? Answer - anti-oxidants. These retard or prevent damage and deterioration of cells caused by oxidation of free-radicals. And where do we get these anti-oxidants from? From foods such as grapes, berries, carrots, broccoli, cabbage, spinach, tomatoes, citrus fruits, onions, garlic, and many, many more. And how much real goodness is in this food? Very little as most of the nutrients have been extracted. So we come full circle!! So why don't we take some vitamin and mineral pills? That should work!! But this is a hit and miss affair because how do we know that these will work synergetically or that we are getting the true amount that vthe label says. (Many have been tested and proved to be sadly lacking in this direction). It has been proved that if certain vitamins and minerals are not balanced correctly one may eradicate another or render it useless. So how are we to know which ones are really beneficial to us? Up untill now we didn't. This is where USANA comes in. They are the first nutritionally balanced and scientifically formulated - supplements ever and will give you a 100% balance. Taken every day you know you are getting the correct vitamins and minerals working synergetically together. For a healthier outlook you no longer have to worry about the food not giving you the necessary nutrients. USANA does it all for you!!
