Top 10 Super Foods

One consideration for good health is that of increasing the amount of nutrient rich food that we consume. If our diet is filled with high nutrient density foods like kale, collards, turnip greens or bok choy, then our body is satisfied, has less cravings and eats less. The weight loss implications of this are easy to understand because with high nutrient density foods, we are more fulfilled on less calories.

The following 10 super foods are based on Dr Joel Fuhrman’s research. The more of these you can put into your diet, the way they were brought to you (raw or lightly cooked), the better your health should be.

Top 10 Super Foods

  8. Arugula – Nutrient Score: 559

There are actually 30 super foods in Dr Fuhrman’s list of nutrient dense foods but for the next 20 Super Foods, you’ll have to visit my other weight loss website.

Notice that there are no fruits, dairy products, meats, nuts or seeds in the top 10 foods, just dark green leafy vegetables. Shows you the powerful nutrient punch they provide.

Codex Alimentarius – The Last Days Of Health Freedom

A few weeks ago I posted a video about Codex Alimentarius and how it will end your ability to buy vitamins and make choices about your own health treatments. A comment from Christie led me to this video, a bit longer and more in depth.

International award-winning filmmaker Kevin P. Miller of Well TV announced the release of a new documentary about the threat to medical freedom of choice. ‘We Become Silent: The Last Days of Health Freedom‘ details the ongoing attempts by multinational pharmaceutical interests and giant food companies — in concert with the WTO, the WHO and others — to limit the public’s access to herbs, vitamins and other therapies.

‘We Become Silent’ is narrated by Dame Judi Dench, the noted UK actress who has won multiple Golden Globe awards, an Oscar, and a Tony for her on-stage work, in addition to dozens of other honors throughout her prestigious career.

Better Health Answers says :

Even U.N. and medical statistics indicate over 2 BILLION people will be affected by this [Codex Alimentarius] level of pharmaceutical corruption in over 150 countries

See the video Christie was referring to How Codex Alimentarius Will End Your Ability To Buy Vitamins as well as the first video of this series on Codex Alimentarius – The End Of Natural Health Vitamins and Herbs

We Become Silent by Well Tv. Thank you Well TV for doing the work you do

Why The Body Needs Pure Water

This excerpt about why the body needs pure water, is taken from Paul C Bragg’s book Water – the Shocking Truth

The amount of water a body needs depends on temperature, climate, one’s activities and health – 8 glasses is average. When you drink a glass of water it goes straight to your stomach. Part of the water is absorbed directly into your bloodstream through the walls of your stomach and some of the remainder goes to your intestines to keep the food you eat in a liquid state while it is being absorbed; this water is later absorbed directly into the blood.
pure water

Pure distilled water is truly God’s greatest gift to us, a source of life and health.

 

– Paul C. Bragg

How Codex Alimentarius Will End Your Ability To Buy Vitamins

Codex Alimentarius means “food rules” in Latin. The organization was born in 1962 when the UN established the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) as a “Trade Commission”. It was created to regulate, and thus control, every aspect of how food and nutritional supplements are produced and sold to the consumer. It is solely about trade and the profits of multi-national corporations.

Watch this video and become informed about what’s happening in the world and how Codex Alimentarius may affect your life and freedom of choice. The vitamin C you’ve come to enjoy and expect as a natural part of your daily life will soon become illegal.

I do not know the source of the video. If you can help, I’d love to cite the source, just leave a comment with details please.

For more information about codex, have a look at this video about Codex Alimentarius by Dr. Rima E. Laibow.

Codex Alimentarius – The End Of Natural Health Vitamins and Herbs

Codex Alimentarius is a threat to the freedom of people to choose natural healing and alternative medicine and nutrition. Ratified by the World Health Organization, and going into Law in the United States in 2009, the threat to health freedom has never been greater. This will mean the end of anything natural, anything organic and the end of the ability for you to decide what natural products you put in your mouth. This means then end of choice and complete control of supplements, vitamins and herbs to pharmaceuticals. Codex Alimentarius is about the loss of freedom of choice.

This is the first part of a series of talks by Dr. Rima Laibow MD, available on DVD from the Natural Solutions Foundation, an non-profit organization dedicated to educating people about how to stop Codex Alimentarius from taking away our right to freely choose nutritional health

[google -5266884912495233634]

Did you know that … under Codex, every dairy cow on the planet must be treated with Monsanto’s recombinant bovine growth hormone?

Did you know that … under Codex, every animal used for food on the planet, whether it has fins, feet, or feathers, every animal on the planet must be treated with antibiotics and must be treated with growth hormones.

Did you know that … Codex requires – mandates that all foods be irradiated, unless it’s eaten locally and raw. All food including organic. So is it still organic?

Here are the first 6 of 14 points provide you with understanding about Codex Alimentarius – health freedom threat number one.


1. Consumer Protection? Unfortunately Not

The first step to understanding Codex Alimentarius is to realize that it has absolutely nothing to do with “consumer protection”. That’s propaganda for the sake of getting people and Congress to yield to its implementation.

2. Says Who?
Rima E. Laibow, M.D. is a successful natural medicine physician who graduated from Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 1970. Dr. Laibow has studied more than 16,000 pages of Codex Alimentarius documentation. Her conclusion? Codex Alimentarius is a very serious threat to health freedom. We must take it seriously.

3. Meaning of Name and History of Organization
“Codex Alimentarius” means “food rules” in Latin. The organization was born in 1962 when the UN established the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) as a “Trade Commission”. It was created to regulate, and thus control, every aspect of how food and nutritional supplements are produced and sold to the consumer. It is solely about trade and the profits of multi-national corporations.

4. Bolstering Profits of Pharmaceutical Industry
The more natural health products people use, the fewer drugs they use. Millions are turning to natural health. Big Pharma fears this as it would diminish profits. Codex is designed to protect Big Pharma profits by eliminating natural health products and treatments. Health food stores and wellness companies would be hit hard.

5. Codex Alimentarius is Unscientific
Codex is unscientific because it classifies nutrients as toxins and uses “Risk Assessment” to set ultra low so-called “safe upper limits” for them. Risk Assessment is a branch of Toxicology, the science for assessing toxins. The proper science for assessing nutrients is Biochemistry. Codex does not use Biochemistry.

6. Based on Tyrannical Napoleonic Legal Code
Codex is based on the Napoleonic Code, dating back to Bonaparte. Under this code, anything not explicitly permitted is automatically forbidden. Under Common Law (our system), something does not have to be explicitly permitted to be legal. The tyrannical Napoleonic Code allows the banning of natural health options by default.
