SUPER-FOODS
"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease." -- Thomas Edison
Super-Foods and Mega Super-Foods are nutrient dense, meaning they contain a broad-spectrum of synergistic concentrated beneficial macro and micro nutrients that help or enhance the body's abilities to generate healthy cells and maintain optimum operational performance. Super-foods Mega Super-Foods are extremely valuable for insuring that sufficient micro-nutrients are received... The cells MUST receive the macro and micro nutrients they require to sustain healthy function and reproduction.
There are several leaders in suppying whole food plant-based nutritionals which you will find references to throughout this website... We are bringing together information about nutrient-dense foods and where to get them into this one source.... Information mentioned in other sections of the Health Zone and Fat Be Gone MAGIC Zone at http://www.libertyzone.com and http://www.aneverbetterworld.info help understand the valuable benefits of consuming specific nutrient-dense super-foods.... Always remember: Health Care is Self Care!!!!
Some foods considered in the category of SUPER or MEGA-Super Foods, that come to mind as being noteworthy include the following...
MEGA SUPER FOODS include: Acai, Gogi, Mangosteen, Essential Soy Protein, royal jelly, bee pollen, bee propolis, Greens, Berries, Noni, and whole fruit nectars often called “PhytoNectars”....
With the SuperFoods are many plants classed as having CONCENTRATED chlorophyll-type cleansing and detoxifying nutrients, such as: Sea Vegetables, Spirulina, blue green algae, red algae, wheat grass and green barley juices, chlorella, kelp, spinach, beet, phenalgin, Aloe Vera, and Ginkgo Biloba.
When thinking about "superfoods," think color... meaning foods that are deep blue, purple, red, green, or orange, contain health-enhancing nutrients that protect against heart disease and cancer, and also improve our sense of balance, our memory, and other thinking skills.... Also remember MOST of the nutrient dense and antioxidant values are in the OUTER area of fruits and vegetables, what is usually termed as the "peel", that so often gets removed and discarded.
Tips on how to add some color to your diet: Top whole grain cereal with RAW almonds or berries. Add RAW tomatoes to sandwiches, soups or stews. Layer whole grain bread sandwich with slices of peppers and fresh spinach.... Pack a snack bag of nuts, baby carrots, raw broccoli, grape tomatoes, and bell pepper slices, for a nutritious pick-me-up between meals. Carry along fruit and nuts for quick energy and a tasty treat.... THESE are truly FAST FOODS, that are also very easy to access, and of course provide cells with the substances they need to function at their best.
A healty diet should be founded on these "superfoods": Beans, Blueberries, Broccoli, Oats, Oranges, Pumpkin, Soy, Spinach, Tea (green or black), Tomatoes, Walnuts and Yogurt... If fish and meats are desired then stick to Salmon, Turkey, and meats from animals that roam freely.
The human body was designed with the innate ability to recognize the pure nutrition that nature provides!... Whole foods are purest form of nutrition available - they are alive. They carry bio-electric energy and other complex nutritional messages that vibrate with frequencies that energize the body. Our cells recognize the bio-electric messages found only in foods that absorb sun light and grow naturally from the earth.
EVERY Body deserves having a supply of super-whole-food with them to snack on throughout the day... SNACKING on whole foods throughout the day is the NATURAL design of the human body and thus the BEST method for consuming foods. -- The concept of 3 "meals" a day is a relatively new and un-natural method of dealing with the industrial and corporate lifestyle... Understanding how the hormones function verify the accuracy of "snacking" on whole foods throughout the day as the body's preferred method for receiving its orgon energy supply.
Orgon means "life force". All life has electric properties. The ion channels in cell membranes cause a voltage difference across the membrane of nearly 1/10th of a volt. If you line up 20 neuron cells properly, you get about a 1.5 volt charge - enough to run a small flashlight. We react to electrical sun spots 93 million miles away, just like receivers of energy measurements do.
The most basic building blocks in our bodies are the cells. Cells group together to make tissues, which in turn make our organs. Our organs work together to form body systems - seven in all - and all related. In nature we find the seven primary colors - every picture, every painting, and every living creation are arrayed in the various tones that begin with the seven colors of the rainbow. In music we have the seven notes. Every piece of music, every song, and every melody are created from these seven notes. But just like a piano needs to be in tune to produce beautiful music - the seven systems in our bodies need to be "in tune with nature".
The Skeletal & Muscular System. The Skeletal part of the system is our bones, cartilage, and ligaments. It supports our soft tissues, protects our vital organs, and serves as a "scaffold" for muscle attachment. The muscular part of the system works from electrical impulses and through our muscles, tendons and sheaths around muscles, including the lubricating sacs called bursae.
The nervous system collects information through our five senses. It is made up of the brain, spinal cord, the peripheral & central nervous system, even the autonomic nervous system which controls the automatic functions of our bodies such as the beating of the heart, breathing, even the blinking or our eyes.
The endocrine system uses circulating "chemical messengers" called hormones to help control other internal functions. The circulatory system consists of the heart and all the blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries) and is responsible for moving nutrients, waste and some special proteins (chemical messengers) and cells around the body.
The lymphatic system moves excess tissue fluid back to the veins and transports fat from the gut to the bloodstream. Its other important role is the defense of the body, and for this reason some elements of the lymphatic system are referred to as the immune system.
The respiratory system is concerned with gas exchange and the intake of oxygen which is needed by all the body's tissues and cells.
The digestive system is concerned with the ingestion, processing and absorption of nutrients, as well as the elimination of some types of waste. The urinary system controls fluid and salt balance in the body and excretes nitrogen waste.
The reproductive system is concerned with production of the next generation and is linked during fetal development with the developing urinary system.
When all seven systems of your body are balanced and "in tune" you'll feel wonderful. Apart from responding to changes in the external environment, the body must also act to produce a relatively constant internal environment. This process is known as homeostasis, or the maintenance of equilibrium, like: maintaining constant body temperature, relatively constant blood sugar levels, blood pressure and blood calcium levels. This natural equilibrium that your body desires is achieved by the coordination and balance of your body's seven systems.... Does your body deserve a tune up? .... The following information will certainly help do a healthy tune-up and maintain health forever.
Walnuts: The Good Fat
Every nut, even macadamias -- the fattiest -- has been found to improve cholesterol... Walnuts are among the superstars, being an excellent source of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids.... Notice the SHAPE of the walnut half looks like the BRAIN... Shapes within raw foods give a clue to it's electric signature in relationship to power-charging an area of the human body... In addition to being a powerful "brain food", studies show lowered risk of cardiovascular disease by 15% to 50% from eating a handful of nuts five times a week. If you found a pill that did the same thing, you'd make a fortune. A handful of dry, roasted, unsalted walnuts -- about 14 walnut halves -- has about 150 calories, and is enough to yield "superfood" benefits.
Blueberries
Blueberries are a tiny fruit that combines a wide variety of nutrients. Blueberries don't have a huge amount of any single nutrient, but they have the synergy of multiple nutrients. There's vitamin C, folic acid, fiber, carotenoids, and hundreds of other compounds in this one small fruit. Blueberries also have a very thick skin, which is where nature packs most of its nutrients. Blueberries are used by Native Americans for medicinal purposes.
Soy for Cholesterol
Consume soy foods such as tofu, soy milk, soy nuts, or the green soybeans -- called edamame by the Japanese -- to gain Soy's heart-healthy benefits of powerful cholesterol-lowering benefits. A study reported July 2003 in "The Journal of the American Medical Association" showed a diet of soy fiber, protein from oats and barley, almonds, and margarine from plant sterols, lowered cholesterol as much as statins, the most widely prescribed cholesterol medicine.
Soy nuts are a very portable low calorie snack option that also satisfies the desire to "chew"... The chewing process generates the saliva and its components the body must have to stay well hydrated and able to digest and assimilate nutrients from the digestive systems to the cells.
Edamame (Japanese name for green soybeans) are snacks even kids will love! Find these nutritious nuggets in the freezer section at your supermarket. Serve them plain or with a low-fat dip.
Tofu takes on the flavor of foods that it is cooked with. Try a stir-fry of colorful veggies and cubed tofu with a light Asian sauce for a quick meal. There are more and more cereals at the store loaded with both soy and fiber. Serve with skim milk to get three super nutrients for breakfast.
Because of modern conditions, the long known super-food qualities of some foods such as brewer's yeast and liver extracts have become non-usable... Due to high usage of antibiotics, the Candida albicins bacteria has increased to the level that many individuals can't tolerate any form of yeast... All forms of meat are suspect due to the hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, and other substance potentially harmful to human cells being used in animal husbandry.
As health-consciousness expands many new factors that help the body toward PERFECT HEALTH keep coming to light. As the worth of life and health are increasingly valued and appreciated, there is ever more willingness to LEARN ABOUT and DO whatever is necessary to protect and keep the most precious gifts of life and health.
Life, even when lived in misery and suffering, has innate worth. But, as consciousness and immortality-awareness expands, many individuals are coming to the conclusion that physical life without health is not worth having. Thus there is a dedicated effort to have health, so that longevity is also desired. It's not the intention of this presenter to judge nor solve the controversy surrounding this topic... Rather, the intention is to simply state the fact that such beliefs and feelings exist. Maybe because they do, the desire for BOTH life and health, have served to bring to light much more knowledge than would have otherwise surfaced.
Super Foods are effective in providing oxygen to the cells, detoxifying tissue, supporting thyroid functions, and providing the body with a natural source of commonly known vitamin and minerals such as calcium, sodium, and potassium, as well as trace nutrients some of which we have yet to be "discovered" or understood.
Spirulina... We all need what Spirulina has... No other food has what Spirulina has. No matter how other foods are processed, condensed, enhanced or synthesized, or whether they are other algae, fruit or vegetable concentrates, grasses or grains, they cannot come close to giving you the nutrition that Spirulina offers. Taking it as a supplement is great, but taking it as a food will most certainly improve how you feel. Pound for pound, dollar for dollar, day by day, month by month, year by year, for the rest of your long healthy life, when you work up to taking 3 Tablespoons a day, the nutrition is equal to FAR more food than you could eat !
To get the nutrition found in 3 table spoons of Spirulina, you would have to eat:
Spirulina, the most nutrient-rich superfood available, produces 200 times the protein per acre of beef cattle, and 10 times that of soybeans. This fact led the United Nations to conclude that it could be the solution to global protein shortages. After extensive testing, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) chose Spirulina as a primary food for space travel.
Spirulina Blue-Green Algae is:
Spirulina is the highest and most efficient WHOLE FOOD Source of: Protein, Human Active B-12, Beta-Carotene, Antioxidants, Chlorophyll, GLA, Rhamnose, Glycogen, and Phycocyanin (making it the true super blue-green algae).
Spirulina is also the most ecologically beneficial food on Earth. Growing Spirulina actually improves the environment, doesn't deplete natural resources, and along with other algae, is responsible for replenishing 90% of the planets' oxygen.
Phi Plus
Phi Plus is the healthiest food in the world. It is a synergistic immune boosting, power food combination of orgonic whole food ingredients including nuts, seeds, grains, fruits, vegetables, berries, herbs, flowers, plant oils, & spices. It is hand-crafted from orgonic foods. It is specifically designed to support and enhance all seven body systems. Western medicine calls these 7 centers of the body NervePlexi and their attendant Neuro-endocrine glands. This pure raw food is a delicious snack and a superb meal replacement. Eat your way to "inner balance", health, and closer to your Healthy Weight.
Phi Plus INGREDIENTS: Dates, Pecans, Cashews, Almonds, Oats, Raisins, Black Sesame Seeds, Golden Sesame Seeds, Sunflower Seeds, Brown Rice, Flax Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, Kidney Beans, Green Peas, Carrots, Nutritional Yeast, Raspberries, Blueberries, Cranberries, Beet Powder, Apples, Macadamia Nuts, Filberts, Walnuts, Brazil Nuts, Prunes, Figs, Ceylon Cinnamon, Ginger, Clove, Nutmeg, Maize, Buckwheat, Millet, Malted Oats, Quinoa, Wheat Bran, Chick Peas, Rice Bran, Walnut Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Olive Oil, Stardust Raw Sea Salt, & Flower Petals (Calendula, Lavender, & Rose).
Whole Grape PhytoNectar
Grapes provide the substance of perhaps the most important tonic in history. Its beneficial properties are both physical and spiritual. The juice of grapes is used as a ceremonial drink in religious rituals and as a prelude to romance. Grapes are rich in healing and protective nutrients from the tannin family. The protective substances in grapes are so powerful that they can withstand complex fermentation processes. The tannins in grapes are powerful antioxidants to protect the body from the damages of oxidative stress. They also support joint health.
Historically, grapes have been processed to remove the seeds and pulp, and often fermented to make an alcoholic drink. Studies show that the seeds, skin and pulp of grapes are among its richest sources of these vitalizing healing and protective nutrients. Only VíaVienté uses whole grape PhytoNectar processed from grapes grown near the equator, providing the most energizing whole grape PhytoNectar possible.
Scullcap Root PhytoNectar
In traditional Chinese medicine, baical skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis) is prescribed for many conditions. The herb is believed to support healthy bowel, joint, cardiovascular and liver function.
Scullcap has traditionally been used to relieve aches and pains wherever they are found in the body. Scullcap is also used to relieve the effects of nervous tension, and support immune response and is recommended for occasional insomnia and nervousness. It also helps to support a positive outlook on life.
The healing flavonoids in Scullcap possess the unique ability to support joint health and mobility by inhibiting COX-2 production in the body. Scullcap root PhytoNectar is made by gently homogenizing it with Vilcabamba mineral water to produce the highest potency PhytoNectar possible.
Gentain PhytoNectar
Gentain is an ancient bitter tonic. Its has traditionally been used as an apéritif, laxative, and blood purifier. It is a common botanical in many alcoholic bitters. Its active ingredients are called Xanthones. Gentain root contains up to 10 times as much xanthone as Mangosteen fruit (Xango™). Xanthones are chemically similar to the bitter compounds in Aloe, and Cascara sagrada bark.
Bilberry PhytoNectar
Bilberry, also called huckleberries, and whortleberries, has been used as a traditional medicinal herb since the 16th century.
Bilberry has proven use in connection with vascular system and blood support. Bilberry's fruit contains flavonoids and blue-violet colored anthocyanins, which serve to support capillary strength and flexibility, thin the blood, and support the release of vasodilators. Anthocyanins, a natural antioxidant, also helps support blood pressure levels that are already in the normal range, and supports blood supply to the nervous system. Bilberry also contains glucoquinine that has the ability to help support blood sugar levels that are already in the normal range.
The antioxidants in Bilberry along with Vitamins A and C, providing antioxidant protection which can help prevent free radical damage and support eye health. Vitamin A is required for sharp vision, while Vitamin C supports collagen formation, which is needed for growth and repair of tissue cells and blood vessels. Anthocyanidins support and protect collagen structures in the blood vessels of the eyes, assuring strong, healthy capillaries that carry vital nutrients to eye muscles and nerves.
Bilberry has long been a remedy for poor vision and "night blindness." Clinical tests confirm that given orally it supports visual accuracy in healthy people. During World War II, British Royal Air Force pilots ate Bilberry preserves before night missions as an aid to night vision. Bilberry works by supporting the microcirculation and regeneration of retinal purple, a substance required for good eyesight.
Bilberry is also used to support the mucous membranes of the mouth and throat. Bilberry contains nutrients needed to protect eyes from eyestrain or fatigue, and supports circulation to the eyes. Bilberry tea is administered to alleviate stomach discomfort and soothe the digestive tract.
Bilberry PhytoNectar uses the finest bilberries, washed, homogenized, and tested to meet the high standards required of VíaVienté PhytoNectars.
Blueberry PhytoNectar
Blueberries are close cousins of Bilberries and have been traditionally used to support urinary tract health and for poor appetite.
Tannins, like all successful tonics, predominate the chemistry of Blueberries. They make up as much as 10% of blueberries. Flavonoids and blue colored anthocyanins account for the beneficial healing properties of blueberries.
VíaVienté uses Blueberries grown close to the equator that have the highest assays of antioxidant anthycyanins, used for supporting blood vessels, particularly those in the eyes. The PhytoNectar of Blueberry is prepared from the finest equatorial blueberries available.
Prune PhytoNectar
Prunes, obtained from dried plums have the highest ORAC value of any fruit. ORAC is a measure of its antioxidant potential. This makes prunes the most potent antioxidant available. Prunes provide regularity to the bowel and are prized for their gentle, cleansing action. VíaVienté's prune PhytoNectar is made from prunes grown near the equator having the highest ORAC value of any fruit tested by the Tuft's institute of Nutrition.
Elderberry PhytoNectar
The Elderberry traditionally has been called "the medicine chest of the common people." Its berries have been used in traditional folk medicine for centuries. The elder also has a rich background of cultural superstitions. In the Middle Ages legends held that the tree was home to witches and that cutting down one would bring on the wrath of those residing in the branches.
The Russians and the English believe that elder trees ward off evil spirits and it was considered good luck to plant a tree near your home. Sicilians think that sticks of elder wood can kill serpents and drive away thieves. Egyptians used it to improve the complexion and heal burns. It has a rich history of promoting long life. The rich folklore associated with elderberries is substantiated by science. The berries contain flavonoids which support the soft tissues of the respiratory system, and tannins, especially purple colored anthocyanins that are powerful antioxidants. Other uses of Elderberries include urinary tract and bladder support and as an eye tonic.
As with all the PhytoNectar used in VíaVienté, Elderberry PhytoNectar uses the finest elderberries, washed, homogenized, and tested to meet the high standards required of VíaVienté PhytoNectars.
Noni PhytoNectar
Noni, the common name for Morinda citrifolia contains polysaccharides and Tannins including flavonoids that support proper joint function and soft tissue health.
The active ingredient in Noni is derived from bromelain, a nutrient traditionally used to relieve the aches and pains associated with joint health and indigestion.
Noni fruit PhytoNectar conforms to the strictest standards to be used in VíaVienté.
Cranberry PhytoNectar
Cranberries have been a folk-remedy for years. As far back as the 1600s, cranberries were thought to help with a long list of ailments and have also been long associated with general urinary tract health.
Now science is validating the folklore regarding the wonders of cranberries. Studies suggest that cranberries may also inhibit many types of bacteria from adhering to interior body linings.
In addition, cranberries support good gum health because they prevent plaque causing bacteria from colonizing in the gums. Other studies suggest that cranberries may be beneficial to the heart, decrease the recurrence of urinary stones and promote good stomach health.
The positive health effects of cranberry are due to its rich content of tannins, both flavonoids, and anthocyanins. To become cranberry PhytoNectar, each lot of cranberries is carefully homogenized and standardized to the highest levels of these anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antioxidant compounds.
Apple PhytoNectar
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away". Apples have been a source of constitutional strength for centuries. Recently, the Chinese, intent on improving the health of its large population embarked on a campaign to increase the size of their apple crop. They concluded that planting apple trees was the most cost-efficient way to improve their health. VíaVienté uses Whole apples to make its PhytoNectar. Seeds, skin, and pulp are all combined to maximize the healing properties of this important PhytoNectar.
Whole Leaf Aloe Vera PhytoNectar
Aloe vera is known as "lily of the desert", the "plant of immortality", and the "medicine plant". The name was derived from the Arabic alloeh meaning "bitter" because of the bitter liquid found in the leaves. As early as 1500 B.C. Egyptians recorded use of the herbal plant in treating burns, infections and parasites.
Extensive research has shown that the whole leaf aloe vera juice has a dramatic ability to support the body's ability to heal wounds, ulcers and burns by putting a protective coating on the affected areas and speeding up the healing rate. Aloe contains slippery glycoproteins and is rich in the secret of all tonics, tannins. The tannins in Aloe have a tonic effect that soothes the digestive tract.
Aloe contains at least three anti-inflammatory compounds that are helpful for the stomach, small intestine and colon. A newly discovered compound in aloe, acemannan, is effective for immune system support by supporting increased levels of T-lymphocyte immune cells.
Whole leaf aloe vera PhytoNectar is useful for gastro-intestinal health, and helps reduce inflammations.
