"Americans spend 23 billion dollars a year on Vitamins and Supplements." Are they getting any real benefit? (National institute of health 2006) 
 We know we are not eating well, which is why we are consuming so many vitamins and supplements. The fact is that most of these vitamins are passing right through our bodies. F ruits and vegetables contain an unparalleled array of nutritional elements that offer numerous health benefits for our bodies. And, the thousands of nutrients found in fruits and vegetables work together in ways that science is just beginning to explore. It is not to late to start eating healthy now. The human body can repair its self. So complex but so efficient. New skin, new hair, new stomach wall, new blood cells, and chemical balance are all normal wonderful functions of our bodies. If we give our bodies the necessary materials the body can use them to repair any damage that may have already occurred or is occurring.

"Our Health depends on our nutrients. The more fruits and vegetables you eat the less likely you are to have a heart attack"( Dr. Richard Dubois president of the medical association, Atlanta) 
The message is clear: we need more of the healthful whole food nutrition of fruits and vegetables in our diets, every day. It's the one thing everyone agrees we can do to improve our health and reduce our risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, and cancer. Food is not just for calories and energy. Food is for prevention. The scientific literature has told us for a long, long time that fruits and vegetables are the most important fuel we can put in our bodies to make a difference in terms of prevention and health.

I am a cancer survivor who has determined that given this second chance at life, I am going to do what I can to be healthier. Hopefully you don't need cancer to convince yourself you need to live and eat healthier. How do you feel when you overeat? Discomfort and pain? There is your proof that eating affects the way you feel.  There are three ways poison can get into your body.
1. what you put in your mouth.
2. what you breathe.
3. what you absorb through your skin.
What you eat is an every day decision. If you can just become aware of the things that are no good for you to eat then you can instantly change for the better by not eating them. I recently discovered that my 6 year old son is allergic to milk. He has had a chronic cough which was caused by milk. I have taken all dairy products out of his diet and within a few days he was cured. I encourage you to look around this web site, read the articles, comment in the forums, and email us with new articles. Please share with us your story so that we can all learn from each other.
