Feeling exhausted, tired and listless?
A lot of it might have to do with the foods you eat or the lack of nutrients you are getting from them. Depletion of soils, acidic rain and long storage times or even cooking in microwave ovens is robbing good foods from essential nutrients. The following graph dramatically illustrates what has been happening even to our so-called “power foods” that our cells need to function properly.
This simply means that a lot of the groceries you are buying in your supermarket aren’t really nourishing you. We are going back to planting our own vegetable garden;)
