Superfoods, a necessity for healthy living.

Energy Superfoods - Friday, July 13, 2012

We all know that it's important to give our body the nutrients it needs and deserves.

We should detox for a healthy liver, eat well, avoid sugar & bad fats, participate in regular exercise and drink more cleansing alkalising water. Yep we know it, so just do it.

It should be that simple, but there's a whole industry built around making good nutrition seem difficult; Diet after diet after diet, some just ridiculous and others with complex daily plans, or there's bottle after bottle of synthetic vitamins, extensive and confusing (and often conflicting) health shop products, nutrient deficient supplements, synthetic meal replacements, over-processed foods, toxic drugs, and even surgery. All are promoted as a means to healthy living and increased vitality. 

Often they offer very little in measurable results, organic wholefoods or real nutrition.

Our aim is to simplify the superfood maze by identifying and selecting the highest quality, most effective and ethical health products.

Here's the secret ...

Here's a secret that few will tell you:  improving your health with natural, organic superfoods can really be so much easier than you think, and way more effective too!

It's the combination of selected quality organic products and a few healthy lifestyle choices, selected to fit in with your existing lifestyle for your long term success, that make the difference to your overall health - it works because you feel great, and it is sustainable for longer than a week or two.

Superfoods (such as the Acai Berry, Pea Protein and Super Greens) are naturally occurring sources of functional foods that have high phytonutrient content; antioxidants, anthocyanins, vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre, are low in fat and sugar while being high in nutritional content and support alkalising within your body.

Superfoods can also refer to organic wholefoods that offer a high level of synergistic benefits to our health such as coconut oil, walnuts, salmon, avocados, broccoli, kale, coconut flour, cinnamon etc.

Imbued with phytochemicals, superfoods promote good health and wellbeing, supercharge your metabolism, alkalise your body, boost your energy, detox your liver, encourage natural weightloss, balance blood sugars, assist to eliminate pain and acidosis related inflammation and disease, and confer incredible benefits on your immune system. 

Disease can't survive in an alkaline environment.

The lie of Big Pharma

Energy Superfoods - Friday, July 13, 2012

pillsWe all know big corporate pharmaceutical companies like to dismiss the value of superfoods, particularly naturally occurring vitamins like those found in nutrient dense Spirulina, and the popular Acai berry.

So you might be surprised to know that one of our most common drugs, used daily throughout the world, Aspirin, was originally derived from a phytochemical.

Now produced synthetically, Aspirin was created from Salicin, a phytochemical extracted from the bark of the white willow tree.

Our ancestors have known of the anti-inflammatory properties of Salicin for at least 2,500 years. Even today, Salicin is quietly considered a better option than Aspirin, which causes gastric bleeding. Salicin does not.

Another example: Taxol, an important cancer drug, is a phytochemical, extracted from the Pacific Yew tree. That is just one example. Intravenous Vitamin C has been shown to eliminate cancer cells, and alkalising reduces more disease symptoms than any medicine by reducing the effects of acidosis on the body.

So big pharma knows all about Superfoods, phytonutrients and their natural health benefits - they just prefer that you don't!
