Stress and nutrition: What is the connection? They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so a video must be worth millions of words in helping you to understand the power of USANA Health Sciences in helping you to solve all your health challenges.
But, I can get all the nutrition I need from my food!!! What do I need vitamins for?
In 1992, two Harvard University researchers proved, once and for all, that you can no longer get all the nutritional support you need from your food.
Vitamins: Plants make their own vitamins through a process called “photosynthesis.” They work in partnership with the sun, soil and water to make all the vitamins that we need.
The problem happens after the plants begin to grow and after we harvest the food. We cover our crops with toxic pesticides, herbicides and insecticides; we use toxic storage methods like pressurizing and gassing; and we over-process the food, filling it with even more chemicals. By the time it reaches your table, all the good vitamins have been destroyed. The same goes for the living enzymes that were once in the food. These living enzymes are needed for proper digestion of food.
Minerals: Plants must get minerals from the soil in order for the food to contain minerals. The human body requires 22 minerals a day in large quantities to achieve optimal health. The food has no minerals because traditional farming practices are no longer used. Years of incomplete farming practices has lead to the soil being completely depleted.
Animal products such as meat and dairy: The process called pasteurization; injections of antibiotics and growth hormones; and the over-processing of this food group, like all the others, all ensure there is very little nutrition in your meat and dairy products either.
