Providing a Variety and Richness of Nutrients Not Sold in Stores

Most doctors would agree with the statement  "Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables for better health."

Why do doctors offer such advice? Because natural, whole fruits and vegetables (along with modest amounts of natural meats and fish) contain the key to healing, prevention and energy.

But HOW REALISTIC IS IT TO EXPECT MOST PEOPLE TO TAKE THIS ADVICE?

Not very.  Why?

We live in a time where most people are eating for taste, texture, smell, presentation and convenience. All are poor reasons to eat.  But the marketing companies are really good at promoting these reasons.

We should all be eating for one main reason only: Nutrient value of our food. Eat to Live not Live to Eat.

But how do I get the nutrients that I need.  First and foremost taking the advice of eating a variety of fruits and vegatables.  Unfortunately for most of us this is not enough due to depleted soils and modern farming techniques.  This is where taking whole food supplements is a great way to get these vital nutrients that we are not getting in our food.

WHY NOT JUST GO TO THE GROCERY STORE?

Another reality check. Most people just won't get the foods they have to have to address their nutritional deficiencies.

If they go to the store, they aren't likely to buy and eat the variety they need.

AND, even if they are eating vegetables, the local grocery or health food store is unlikely to carry the specific types of foods that are in whole food supplements.

NutriPlex's (one of the supplement brands we carry) whole food ingredients are gathered from around the world for their nutrient value. They go above and beyond your average produce aisle in terms of nutritional impact.

THE BEST INGREDIENTS GATHERED FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Here are some ingredients from NutriPlex products you're not likely to find at the local supermarket:

• Acerola cherry, from the Amazon rain forest, high in vitamin C (in Flavo-C)
• Dandelion, often on your lawn but rarely at the grocer, high in potassium and minerals (in Caro-C, Green Nutrients + more)
• Cereal grasses cut at the jointing stage when the green plant is most nutrient-dense
• Liver, which is rarely served but used to be a household staple, high in iron, minerals and vitamins B and A (in GTF Complex + more)
• Wild pansies which are very high in rutin, a critical bioflavonoid to support small blood vessels and produce collagen (in Flavo-C + others)

There are many other examples ~ ask your Valeo practitioner for recommendations.

NUTRIPLEX WHOLE FOOD SUPPLEMENTS ARE PACKED WITH NUTRIENTS

What could be better than offering these foods in a pill or powder so they'll never end up in the back of their refrigerators.

Is Salt Good for You?

The health media has been talking to us for decades about conventional salt. It raises blood pressure, promotes heart and kidney disease and even assists in forming cellulite!

Here’s the reason why:

Table salt is not 100% salt. Conventional salt contains aluminum, anti-caking agents, moisture absorbents, and in some brands even sugar! All of the natural trace minerals that your body needs to sustain health, were taken out during processing. But before you give up on salt altogether, let me tell you about the original form of salt (known as sea salt) that you can easily get your hands on.

Sea salt:

· Helps regulate blood pressure

· Contains trace minerals that help our bodies function properly

· Enhances digestion

· And nourishes our adrenal glands, which is what helps our energy levels (sea salt does plenty more, but I think you get the idea)

We’re not meant to deny ourselves of salt and there is a fabulous array of sea salts out on the market…to get you started, some noteworthy ones are Celtic (grayish color), Redmond’s Real Salt, or even the pink Himalayan sea salts…try them all! They’re available @ co-ops, Whole Foods and in most stores that offer a natural health foods section. As for your table salt, that’s great to put on your icy sidewalk in the winter!
