Throughout most of human history, greens, vegetables and fruits have been the mainstay of our diet. Second to none, greens and fruits have been the most abundant and available natural food in the world. However, only 200 years ago, the Industrial Revolution that brought dramatic changes to agriculture and manufacturing, also brought extreme changes to our diet. With the advent of the Industrial Revolution, our appetites shifted from greens and plant foods to processed foods that had more pronounced flavors and foods that were cheap to make and easy to store for long periods of time without spoiling.
No one suspected that the new processed foods were deficient in nutrients and high in calories and toxins and were responsible for new illnesses that quickly began to emerge. Instead, everyone continued eating these new foods and attempted to cure the illnesses with medical treatments and drugs. Today, we continue to see diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes and obesity reaching pandemic proportions and we continue to treat them with drugs and surgeries that are still not working.
New evidence is surfacing that strongly suggests a return to our original diet is the only solution to the current health crisis the world is suffering because we now know that greens and plant foods are the only food that matches our nutritional needs closer that any other food group. Greens and plants not only contain the protein (amino acids), carbohydrates, fats, phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that we need, but they also contain everything in just the right amounts and in the highest quality. The only nutrient they appear to lack is vitamin B12 that can be supplemented, but it should be noted that B12 is also produced by our own intestines. Greens are truly natures’ only perfect foods and the only foods that we can trust to keep us healthy.
"Without adequate nutrition, especially minerals, research has shown that people develop chronic health conditions. More and more nutritional studies have linked many of today’s most prevalent, life threatening chronic diseases—diabetes, heart disease, stroke, obesity, high blood pressure, macular degeneration, bone loss, and dementia to nutritional deficiencies."
