Why You Can Not Get Enough Nutrients

Even if you are eating the recommended daily amounts of fruits and vegetables, you’re STILL not getting all of the vitamins and minerals your body SHOULD have to function properly!

You may THINK you’re getting the right assortment of fruits and vegetables. Most fruits and vegetables are green picked and then treated with chemicals to ripen this in itself can deplete the vital nutrition our bodies need.

Most of these properties don’t exist in the plant until the final days of ripening on the vine. When this occurs, the fruits and vegetables become very soft. This isn’t feasible for our growers to do.

By the time they would arrive at your local grocery store, the fruits and vegetables would be bad or destroyed. So instead, they pick our fruits and vegetables before they are ripe and allow them to ripen during the shipping process (gas ripened) or while they sit in your local grocery stores.

Another of the eight essential sugars is Neuraminic Acid.
