Life Itself Has Been Processed Out Of The STAFF OF LIFE

Saturday, May 17th, 2008

Within each whole-wheat berry or kernel, nature has packed all of the elements necessary to reproduce life. So long as the wheat berry remains intact in its original form, it will keep indefinitely.

For thousands of years, however, humans have ground whole-wheat berries into flour for use in breads, pastas, noodles, cakes, breakfast cereals, tortillas, and other widely
consumed foods, earning wheat the nickname “the staff of life.”

The Industrial Revolution forever changed the way we eat wheat. As people began to move away from agricultural communities and into large cities, a serious problem developed:

How could the flour be made to last long enough to feed large masses of people? The grain processor solved the problem by taking out some of the things which made the flour spoil — notably, the nutrient-rich outer bran and germ layers of the wheat berry, which contains most of the plant’s vital lipids, sterols, vitamins, and minerals.

In fact, modern milling subjects whole-wheat berries to about two dozen processes before they’re transformed into table flour.

This modern solution created new problems.
Processing removes wheat’s bran, germ, and oil. Outer layers such as the bran contain most of the vitamins and minerals, and are sold to ranchers for livestock feed. (In this respect,cattle eat better than we do!) Wheat germ and wheat germ oil, rich sources of natural vitamin E and important lipids and sterols, are sold as foods and supplements.

SO,HOW MUCH NUTRIENT VALUE IS LOST DUE TO WHEAT REFINING?
In refining whole wheat to make white flour, much of the wheat’s original nutrient value is lost. Removal of the oils (lipids and sterols to avoid rancidity is only part of the story.

The full story is online “HERE”. GO and see for yourself ,then come on back so you can get a Nutritional Supplement that will put the nutrients of life back into the “Staff Of Life”.

Good health and wellness begins at the cellular level

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

While there is much sound nutritional advice out there, many “experts” seem to skip the first step: Good nutrition begins at the cellular level! Each of your cells is like a miniature body. Every cell must be able to take in nutrients and eliminate waste products efficiently, just like your body as a whole.

Important nutrients known as phytolipids and phytosterols make cell membranes more pliable, allowing better absorption of nutrients and better elimination of waste. So, when their surrounding membranes are healthy and flexible, your cells work more efficiently— and you feel more energized and experience better overall health.It All Starts With Your Cells!….

A sterol-ized diet is a healthy diet!
Phytosterols have been featured in several recent scientific studies focusing on the correlation between phytosterols and cancer prevention. Dr. Awad and Dr. Fink from the State University of New York at Buffalo have conducted extensive research in this area.

They propose that one of the greatest potential benefits these sterols is their ability to protect against cellular damage.

These noted researchers correlate the amount of phytosterols consumed in the diet with the incidence of the most common forms of cancer in the Western world: colon cancer, prostate cancer, and breast cancer.

In contrast, Drs. Awad and Fink show that the cancer rate is considerably lower in Asian societies—where consumption of phytosterols is much higher! The researchers theorize that phytosterols inhibit cell division,stimulate tumor cell death, and modify some of the hormones that play a part in tumor growth… Watch Video

Scientists push to increase whole grain foods in diet

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

Scientists are pushing to increase whole grain foods in our diet because nutritional deficiencies causes over eating and we all know that over-eating causes obesity which lead to all kinds of health problems.So said researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health and the U.S. Department of Agriculture..

Whole grains provide critical nutrients that are not available from other food sources. In addition to providing key nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and fiber, whole grains are also a valuable source of lipids and sterols, the energygiving substances that have a direct influence on cellular health and efficiency.

For many people who are overweight the simple fact that they have become overweight due to poor nutrition and over eating results in many instances of vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

By simply supplementing the diet with vitamins and minerals in the correct quantities this will help to reduce those deficiencies and that alone can assist in reducing the need to eat copious quantities of food due to the constant feeling of hunger.

There is another problem that faces people who are trying to lose weight and that is the fact that many of these diet and weight loss programs create their own deficiencies in vitamins and minerals by not supplying suitable amounts of food to sustain the persons good health while trying to help them lose weight.

Any diet that leaves you constantly feeling hungry is lacking and more often than not it will also be lacking in your body’s need for vitamins and minerals.

Unless the diet has been prepared with the specialist help of dietitians who have a comprehensive knowledge of the bodies need for all the various vitamins and minerals then the chances of you succeeding on a diet will be minimal and this is one of the biggest reasons why many diets are a failure.

It is not so much the person’s willpower to make it work as the fact that the body is crying out for its needs and they aren’t being met with the food that has been allowed on that particular weight-loss program.

If you’re on a diet and you find that you are constantly hungry or craving particular foods then it will be well worthwhile supplementing that diet with a nutritional supplement that will give you your recommended daily requirements of vitamins and minerals.

You might find that a nutritional supplement taken daily is all you need to succeed at weight control,health and wellness.
