"you ARE what you EAT!!!"
“Nothing can be more important or necessary to know than the science of nutrition, so let your medicine be your food and your food your medicine”. - Hippocrates.
Healthier Eating in 2010
Most Americans don’t eat the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables. It’s a FACT.
The goal for the Healthy People 2010 program was to get at least 75 percent of Americans to eat the recommended two or more daily servings of fruit and for at least 50 percent of Americans to consume three or more daily servings of vegetables. This program has now been renamed “Healthy People 2020″, since we have gone backward, rather than forward, on the proposed national health objectives. ( did someone say…“EAT LOCAL…EAT ORGANIC” ? THAT would be a GREAT STARTING LINE on the road to over-LIVING instead of over-MEDICATING.(I know one right here in WIMBERLEY…EIEIO ORGANIC FARMS…www.eieiotx.com)
“A diet high in fruits and vegetables is important for optimal child growth, maintaining a healthy weight, and prevention of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and some cancers, all of which currently contribute (contribute!? HA!) to health care costs in the United States,” Dr. William H. Dietz, director of the CDC’s Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity, said in a CDC news release.
And just an FYI…fruits and vegetables don’t mean…candied dried FRUIT in a bag from SAM’s…or fried VEGETABLE chips from CENTRAL MARKET.
The report found that only 21 percent of U.S. middle schools and high schools offer fruits and non-fried vegetables. Fewer than half the states (21) have policies to support farm-to-school (I know one right here in WIMBERLEY…EIEIO ORGANIC FARMS…www.eieiotx.com) programs that can increase access to fruits and vegetables and teach students about nutrition and agriculture. (Kathleen Mooney, owner of EIEIO Organic Farms, does just that…teaches a class at KATHERINE ANNE PORTER CHARTER SCHOOL on agriculture and farming and the class in turn, works the farm and enjoys the “fruits and vegetables” of their labor EACH HARVEST.
“We have seen the tremendous benefit of state and local officials, health professionals, nutritionists, employers, food store owners, farmers, school staff, and community members working together on food and nutrition issues,” CDC epidemiologist Heidi Michels Blanck said in the news release. “Their efforts can help to increase the availability of affordable healthier food choices.”
I’d like to introduce you to:QUANTUM NUTRITION CENTER
I recommend as a TOP “online source to HEALTH AND HAPPINESS“
Ted Nelson QRACN, RMT, Head Nutritionist and Clinic Director of QN CENTER, teaches his new way of getting daily nutrition is to prepare a simple drink:
½ teaspoon of Sweet Wheat Grass with 1 or 2 droppers of Mineral Drops in water and, if you desire, add a tablespoon of Black Cherry Concentrate for flavoring, or add the Sweet Wheat and Mineral Drops to your favorite juice. “This gives you your vitamins and minerals in a great, easy to make drink. It is much better for the body to eat and drink living source super foods, instead of taking a handful of pills for your daily nutrition,” says Ted
We believe in eating and drinking your nutrition, rather than ONLY TAKING your nutrition. This concept is designed to move QN Center into the “Food” category with the FDA, instead of the “Supplement” category..
