Whole Foods Supplements
Americans are overfed and undernourished
As a nation, we eat poor-quality foods that have been stripped of nutrients. We do not consume enough fresh fruits and vegetables. Many of us get our whole grains from instant rice, refined wheat breads, pastas and cereal. We eat a tremendous amount of prepackaged, pre-made meals. One-quarter of Americans eat at fast food restaurants each day. Americans are overfed and undernourished.
We eat plenty, but we are still starving
The foods we eat are not providing our bodies with the nutrition they need to survive and be healthy. We are starving our bodies and we are sick. We suffer from diabetes, heart attacks, obesity and the list goes on and on.
There is Good News
Given proper nutrition, the human body has an amazing ability to keep itself healthy. If properly fed and given the right nutrients, your is designed to repair itself. To do so, we need to eat a healthier diet, exercise and take high-quality supplements made from whole foods. Whole food supplements supply our bodies with the nutrition we are not getting from our diets - all the vitamins, minerals, trace minerals and phytonutrients that foods possess - the way nature intended, in a whole food form.
Only whole food supplements complete the nutrition gap
Whole food supplements are made by concentrating foods. When done correctly, the foods supply a multitude of nutrients. These nutrients work synergistically, meaning they work together, to provide you with optimal nutrition for good health.
A word of advice: Not all whole food supplements are the same. Many whole food supplements available in today's marketplace range in quality. Many companies are riding the wave of supplement popularity rather than focusing on commitment and quality.
At our office, we believe that nutrition should be individualized to meet each patient's needs. For these reasons and many more, Acu-Care has an entire line of Standard Process whole foods supplements. Standard Process has been in business since 1929.
Contact Acu-Care at either of our offices for more information or to order Standard Process whole foods supplements:
