YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!

 

It’s no secret that what you fuel your body with, will impact how your body operates. Just like a car, our body relies on what we feed it to function properly. It’s also no secret that with a wholesome shift to your dietary approach, you can help prevent – or better control – conditions ranging from cancers to arthritis to the common cold. Research shows choosing whole foods over processed foods will be the key to your journey along food-based prevention. When we talk of whole foods, we refer to foods that have largely been untouched – picked from the ground, plucked form a tree – these are the foods that will give you a new zest for life. Curb the common cold by eating fruits and vegetables that are high in vitamin C. Nuts have been proven to prevent heart disease due to their high level of Omega-3w, fibre, potassium and proteins. Leafy green vegetables are your go-to-caner-fighters as well as your berries – blueberries, strawberries and raspberries. Losing your memory? Spinach is full of folic acid, which has been shown to lessen the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. And finally for those pesky allergies, pick up an apple today. By crunching on one of these bad boys you’ll be elevating your levels of quercetin, an antioxidant that alters the immune response to allergic triggers. So there you have it, a quick low down on why you should shun the processed goods and get wholesome today. And of course, if you need a concentrated mouthful of the good stuff, look no further than our cold pressed juices – packed to rafters with cancer fighting, cold preventing, allergy averting goodies. Now that’s something to cheers about!
