What Are Your Wellness Traditions?



What We Will Discuss Today:
  • Nutrition in the 21st Century
  • WHY Vitamins & Minerals?
  • Soil Mineral Depletion
  • Our Toxic Household
  • Are There Safe Alternatives?
  • Medicine Kit in a Bottle
  • Is There A Solution??


OUR ENVIRONMENT: It's where we live... it's the food we eat, the air we breathe, and the things that touch our skin.  Our responsibility is to future generations!  What kind of Wellness Traditions will YOU leave behind??  Are you shopping the way you shop, eating the way you eat, and cleaning the way you clean just because that's how your parents do it, or would you rather be an informed consumer?

If people normally do business with people they like, know and trust...wouldn't it make sense to shop with a company that helps real families like yours instead of lining the pocket books of major advertisers and retail distributors?

Industry Myth: "We can get all the nutrition (vitamins and minerals) we need from our food supply."

NUTRITION IN THE 21st CENTURY:
  • We are Overfed and Undernourished! 
  • The modern diet differs drastically compared to that of our ancestors. 
  • Although we live in an age of availability and abundance, we choose to ignore many foods that are good for us.
  • Processing foods destroys nutrients! 
WHY TAKE VITAMIN AND MINERAL SUPPLEMENTS??
  • Your body can’t produce them.
  • Timing is everything.
  • Deficiencies today can hurt tomorrow.
  • What happens when we don’t get enough??
SOIL AND MINERAL DEPLETION 
Warning... 35 Years Ago!
“In the future, we will not be able to rely anymore on our premise that the consumption of a varied balanced diet will provide all the essential trace elements, because such a diet will be very difficult to obtain for millions of people.”   - Dr. Walter Mertz, US Department of Agriculture, 1977 Statement to Congress


Farming Disrupts Healthy Land:

Natural Land is:
  • Inhabited by a diversity of plant species
  • Plants grow according to seasonal and climactic fluctuations
  • Replenished by its own decaying and dying plant matter
Cultivated Land is:
  • Often limited to a single type of crop, depleting the soil of essential nutrients.  Modern farmers attempt to counter this with crop rotation.
  • Manipulated to accelerate the maturation of the plant, sometimes yielding multiple crops in a single growing season, accelerating mineral depletion.
  • Harvested, removing all plant matter, leaving the land barren.  Today's organic waste is either incinerated or buried in a toxic mix of trash at massive landfills.
Chemicals:
  • Ever increasing demands on the farm
  • Pesticides and herbicides reduce the plant’s ability to absorb and assimilate the few trace minerals that may be remaining in the soil.
In Conclusion:  When Nature Gets Cheated, SO DO THE REST OF US!!

3 Potential Solutions: 
  • Re-mineralize farmlands.
  • Eat locally grown produce from organic farms.
  • Provide the body with minerals and nutrients directly through supplementation.
Patented Oligofructose Technology:
Oligofructose was developed from the ground up to address the two critical flaws in mineral supplementation – absorption and excess free radical creation – to help ensure you get more of what you take a multivitamin-mineral for. It provides 10 Times More available for Absorption and 5 Times Greater Antioxidant Protection than grocery store brands

2 Landmark Studies:
1) Oligofructose dramatically outperformed the inorganic forms of minerals.
2) Oligofructose not only protects against dangerous free radical activity in the digestive tract, but extends that protection throughout the entire body – better than any non-Oligofructose supplement on the market.

If I told you this technology were available at a BETTER PRICE AND VALUE than the grocery store brands... would you be interested in giving it a try for 90 days... AT NO RISK??

 OUR TOXIC HOUSEHOLD:
Traditional Household Cleaners:  They may work, but what's hiding inside the bottle??

By now I'm sure you're wondering... 
IS THERE A SAFER, MORE NATURAL ALTERNATIVE??  YES!!!
