Nutrients we need:
Glucose Provided by carbohydrates; needed to produce cellular energy 
Amino acids Protein building blocks 
Fatty Acids Fat building blocks 
Fiber Stool softener and intestinal sweeping brush 
Antioxidants / Vitamins Neutralize oxidants. Vitamins (A, B, C, D, E ), phytonutrients(carotenoids, polyphenols), others (CoQ10) 
Minerals ~ 25 of the 92 naturally occurring major and trace mineral elements are essential for life. Magnesium, sulfur, selenium, zinc, manganese may not be sufficiently present in diet and may need to be supplemented. 
Enzymes Make things happen! Composed of amino acid chains, enzymes act as catalysts to speed up biochemical reactions in our body. 
Probiotics – “For Life!”
More than 2/3 of your immune system is in your gut, dependent on a healthy presence of microflora. 
Food electrons Needed for cellular energy production Harmful Foods / Practices
Genetically modified foods / GMOs GM plant or animal foods having adverse health-effects. DNA molecules from bacteria, viruses, insects, plants, animals, humans are combined to form new genes to transfer to plants for herbal tolerance of weed-killer and / or insect-resistance, or animals / fish for selective breeding of desirable traits 
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) 
Aspartame This sugar-free sweetener is a neurotoxin 
Sucralose 0 calorie sweetener is a harmful organochlorine 
Chlorination Disease-causing disinfectant in your water 
Fluoridation Mega health fraud 
Microwaved food - Not so convenient for your health Harmful when eaten to excess
High Fructose
Corn Syrup (HFCS)
Too much fructose 
Too much sugar 
Too much caffeine 
Antinutrients Particularly lectins (e.g. prolamins, agglutinins) and phytate in IMPROPERLY prepared WHOLE grains, seeds, nuts and legumes. Lectins can cause a “leaky gut” inflammation leading to IBS, allergies, asthma, arthritis, anemia, obesity, +++ ; Phytate can cause malabsorption of magnesium, calcium, iron, copper, and zinc; 
Alcohol Moderation is the key Good general food choices
Daily 'No-brainer' 💡
"Make-it-Happen" smoothie:This daily drink with supporting supplements contains nutrients typically missing from our diet to restore / maintain physical and mental health. It includes the Rath-Pauling therapy at maintenance level providing important antioxidant vitamin C and amino acids for building collagen, also Omega-3 fats, magnesium, iodine, and vitamin D 
RECOMMENDED DAILY SUPPLEMENTS CHART 
Grown in your native environment i.e. locally grown and in season 
Organic – What does that mean? Natural, unprocessed and organic (chemical/GMO-free). 
Glycemic Index (GI) vs. Glycemic Load (GL) A food's glycemic index indicates how much it raises blood sugar, but its glycemic load (GL) gives a gives a truer comparison between foods, since it accounts for typical serving size. 
What foods does the bible
say are good to eat or not?
Cooking to preserve nutrients Aim for at least 1/3 raw. Raw food contains enzymes, which are destroyed by heat. Some nutrients are made more bioavailable by heating, some are destroyed.

About
Microwaves vibrate water molecules in food by emitting a 2.45 GHz frequency EMF.
Microwave frequencies classified as a Class 2B carcinogen by WHO. Group 2B means they are “possibly carcinogenic to humans”. The WHO reclassified radiofrequency EMFs (3 kHz – 300 GHz range) to Group 2B, based on the findings of 30 international scientists who convened at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in Lyons, France in 2011 to weigh the data concerning the carcinogenic effects of radiofrequency EMFs, which includes those used by microwave ovens (2.45 GHz). The scientists were concerned that there was an increased risk for glioma, a malignant type of brain cancer, associated with wireless phone use (50 MHz – 3 GHz)
Microwave ovens were first used by the Nazis in World War II to heat up meals whilst invading the Soviet Union. In 1976 the Russians placed a ban on microwave ovens, after testing their biological effects for 20 years. Gorbachev lifted the ban in 1990.
Eating microwaved food affects the body
Swiss scientist Dr. Hans Hertel found that microwaved food resulted in the following:
- Increase in cholesterol levels.
- Decrease in white blood cells, which can be an indicator of poisoning.
- Decrease in red blood cells.
- Decrease in hemoglobin levels.
- Production of radiolytic compounds not found in humans or in nature (having unknown effects).
Microwaving food affects its nutrients
A 2003 experiment compared different methods of cooking broccoli, finding that microwaving in water destroys 97% of their flavonoid antioxidants and active nutrients. Harvard Health Publishing, 2004 Interestingly, flavonoid loss from boiling was 81%, pressure-cooked 53%, and steaming was a mere 11%. However, they used 10 Tbsps. water for all, and cooking in water always depletes nutrients as they are usually thrown away in the veggie “bath” water.
