Supplements

Are you aware that a deficiency in certain sugars could be causing you to be ill? That can’t be true, you say. We all know that too much sugar is bad for us. However, scientists discovered, quite recently, a family of ‘nutritional’ sugars that are found in plants. These sugars play an important part in the functioning of our immune systems, boost kidney function and help prevent disease.

Scientists know that there is a direct link between disease and diet. The human body, an amazing machine, can heal itself of disease if it is given the proper nutrition as fuel. If, however, there is a lack of appropriate nutrition in the diet, the body is left defenseless and susceptible to disease.

Most people think they don’t need to take supplements. We can get all we need from our food, they say. Perhaps that used to be the case. Certainly, our ancestors didn’t need nutritional supplements - the food they mostly consumed was fresh, unprocessed, and therefore rich in vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients.

The majority of our foods now are processed, and even when we do consume fresh fruits and vegetables, the same nutrient content that was evident just 50 years ago is not always evident today. Soils have become depleted through constant farming and toxic fertilizers and insecticides are used all too frequently.
