More than a millennium ago, Hippocrates wrote: "Let your food be thy medicine, and your medicine be thy food." 460 to 361BC
David Sandoval is an internationally-renowned lecturer, author, and world authority on greens, superfoods, and whole-food nutrition.
Medical historians generally look to Hippocrates as the founder of medicine as a rational science. It was Hippocrates who finally freed medicine from the shackles of magic, superstition, and the supernatural.
Hippocrates collected data and conducted experiments to show that disease was a natural process; that the signs and symptoms of a disease were caused by the natural reactions of the body to the disease process; and that the chief role of the physician was to aid the natural resistance of the body to overcome the metabolic imbalance and restore health and harmony to the organism.
"Everyone has a physician inside him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine should be our food."
- Hippocrates
Present Time
Research has revealed that more than two thirds of all deaths in the United States are diet related. More than 50% of all deaths are caused from coronary occlusion, blockage of the blood flow to the heart and/or the brain. These are all preventable deaths according to the Journal of American Medical Association which published in 1961 that, “All coronary occlusion can be eliminated by 97% through a vegetarian diet.” Fourteen hundred American’s are dying of cancer every day. In the prestigious Advances in Cancer Research, they concluded, “At present, we have overwhelming evidence… (that) none of the risk factors for cancer is… more significant than diet and nutrition.”
According to research by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, 37,485 people nationwide died from drug consumption in 2009, compared to 36,284 who died in traffic accidents.
It's not just street drugs that are the problem. Prescription pain and anxiety drugs now cause more deaths than cocaine and heroin combined, the Times said.
The human body heals itself and nutrition provides the resource to accomplish the task.
Diet is what we eat, nutrition is what the body gets! Today our food has been altered with GMO seed and cultivated in nutritionally deficient soils. Than highly processed with additives such as fats, sugars and sodium. Sure those highly refined products tastes good, but at what cost? Consequently, most people today are very slowly starving on an abundant supply of highly processed, high calorie, nutrient deficient food.
The more we learn about nutrition, the more it seems we should eat the way people did a hundred years ago. Recent research appears to be pointing us in the direction of eating mostly "whole foods" - that is, foods that are as close to their natural form as possible.
Superfoods are nutrient-dense raw whole foods that have "living" properties, such as enzymes, proteins, essential fatty acids, carbohydrates, fiber and other nutritional co-factors that are not available in vitamins or nutritional isolates. Superfoods contain a high nutrient value compared to the amount of calories they carry.
There are over 10,000 edible species of plants on earth and Superfoods are the top 50 plants. They are naturally, highly digestible, whole food products with a bountiful amount of nutrients. Superfoods rejuvenate and re-activate your body on a cellular level.
We have taken great care in providing superfoods that do not use synthetic compounds, additives or fillers. When you recommend our products, you can be sure you are recommending the best! The product testimonials being shared are amazing!
Hippocrates held the belief that the body must be treated as a whole and not just a series of parts.
Hippocrates quote: As to diseases, make a habit of two things—to help, or at least to do no harm.
