Even with the best of intentions, few of us invest the effort to purchase, prepare and consume the recommended five to eight servings of fruits and vegetables everyday. Even the most sensible diet will still lack a number of vital nutrients important to good health, no matter how carefully we select our food. To further complicate matters, the ongoing depletion of the mineral content in commercial farmlands, when combined with the effects of cooking and preparation, results in us consuming vegetables that have lost as much as 50% of their nutritional value. Our modern lifestyle also plays a role. Constant exposure to stress, pollutants and the consumption of a highly processed diet leads to an acid/alkaline imbalance within our bodies. This overly acidic internal environment puts us in a state of vulnerability to both minor and major health concerns. Vegetables are our most potent alkaline foods; but when our best defense against high blood acidity are nutritionally depleted when they arrive on our table, the proper balance of acidity and alkalinity in our system will be even more difficult to achieve, much less maintain. With these unavoidable factors against us, we face a nutritional challenge that only an all-inclusive green food supplement can protect us from effectively.
