So you think you have proper food! Think again.
Not only have we been loaded with fake foods , fast foods but even the slow foods (the ones we cook) are very short in vital nutrients and high in calories.
To make matters worse,
- processing of cereal grains depletes the magnesium content by 80%
- up to 50% of the folic acid content in foods is lost through preparation, processing and storage
- commercial milling of cereals depletes the vitamin B6 content by 50% to 90%
- store asparagus for a week and 90% of its vitamin C is gone.
- blanch vegetables or fish and up to one half of their B-complex vitamins and vitamin C is lost

As I turned 40, I just could not see close so I got a reading spec to solve that problem. You see the reading spec is just like the medication we take to solve a health problem. Sadly , that is not a cure solution.
The underlying causes to my failing eyesight was the lack of certain nutrients like vitamin c , rutin and zeaxanthin. I am fortunate to be able to correct that problem. And by taking these supplements daily, I begin to correct other problems too.
Back to the people who say "We do not need vitamin supplements lah! We can get them from our foods!" No matter how careful you are with your diet, there is so much about the way we prepare our foods that a must know. While preparation is one factor, how much can we feed ourselves is another factor as to why we can't possibly have enough of the major nutrients needed for optimal cellular health.
And yes our body shows it clearly to us when we lack a certain nutrient but it is just we that fail to understand.
- FATIGUE
- MUSCLE WEAKNESS
- JOINT AND MUSCLE ACHES
- BLEEDING GUMS
- LEG RASHES
- HAIR AND TOOTH LOSS
All these symtoms could be simply because you lack adequate amount of vitamin C . Would you have thought of that? I didn't.
