When the body is depleted of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids, it weakens, making it susceptible to a whole host of diseases and malfunctions. But when your body is given good nutrition -- whole foods that are free of toxins and that are processed in ways that preserve the life force energy of the food, you achieve greater states of wellness, including:
-
Reduced affects from stress and high pressure situations that suppress the immune system and diminish energy.
-
Increased energy, stamina and endurance.
-
Elevated mood level, more alert attention span and more focused concentration, which leads to improved physical and mental performance levels.
-
Greater ability for the body to relax and achieve deeper, more rejuvenating sleep.
-
Faster recovery from physical and mental activity and injuries.
-
Rejuvenated and strengthened immune system, which provides greater protection to the vital organs and their functions.
