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.

Stevia - A natural non-nutritive sweetener (NNS)
SWEETENERS:
Stevia leaf (Stevia rebaudiana)
In its natural state, this non-nutritive sweetener is the ground-up leaf of the South American stevia plant.
Stevia is hundreds of times sweeter than sugar and has virtually no calories. Frequent use of any NNS without accompanying carbs may stress the adrenal glands and cause you to gain weight.
NNS – May not be such a sweet deal for your health!
Stevia does not produce a glycemic effect. i.e. it has negligible effect on blood sugar
The sweetness of stevia comes from its steviol glycosides (mainly stevioside and rebaudioside). These compounds have 250-300 times the sweetness of sugar.
Stevia extracts
Stevia-based sweeteners (E.g. Truvia and PureVia) use an extract of stevia (rebaudioside A) combined with erythritol. Reb A is FDA-approved as a food additive (Trade name Rebiana); Reb A is stable in dry form and more so than aspartame or Ace K in liquid form. Extracts likely lose the synergistic health benefits obtained from the whole leaf.
