Having Health - A Holistic Approach

The concept of health has been misinterpreted as the apparent lack of disease. When you consider that many chronic disease like cancer, diabetes etc sometimes takes years to be detected or when you hear of the sudden death of heart attack of seemingly ‘healthy’ person; you begin to realize that something is amiss - and that something is proper nutrition.

This has generated the need for good, consistent quality of nutritional supplements. The way our creator has designed the human body and its defense mechanism needs to be understood first. The holistic approach of proper nutrition given by dietary supplements provides our immune system with the right materials to heal and give optimal health.

The nutrient quality of fruits and vegetables available today is poor, due to the depletion of the nutrient content in the soil. If you take into consideration the pollution in water and air, the use of hybrid or genetically engineered seeds, extensive use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, etc, it is optimistic to expect good quality of nutrition. In addition, the latest trend to fast foods and aerated soft drinks has reduced nutritional intake further. Cooking food using various methods might help improve the look or taste but depletes the nutritional content. Nutritional deficiency is the case for many diseases.

Pesticides tend to stay on fruits and vegetables requiring them to be washed properly before eating. A newspaper reported that traces of D.D.T. were found in breast milk, indicating the levels of chemical toxicity that we are being exposed to. As such, the possibility of getting adequate nutrition through our regular diet has become difficult.

It is no wonder that chronic diseases are rampant today and striking people much earlier than before. Modern medical science is oriented at treating, suppressing or controlling the symptoms, rather than tackling the disease at the root level. The drugs interfere with the natural healing process of the body.
This calls for a NATURAL THERAPY - to help our bodies be at optimum health...
