Plant Foods-The Source of Natural, Wholesome Nutrition
Nutritional factors play a significant role in resistance to infection and almost any nutritional deficiency adversely affects the immune system. So the question is, how do we obtain the necessary nutrients to keep the immune system functioning optimally? Herbs and plant foods are the most natural sources of nutrition available on the earth. It is known that there exists on the earth today, a sufficient variety of plants, vegetation and herbs to adequately fulfill all of our body's nutritional needs. Despite this, humans typically eat less than 0.1% of the total number of plants in the world. This can probably be attributed to the busy lifestyles that most of us lead.
Artificially created vitamins can only mimic the nutrients found in plants, but in the long term, they are not adequate substitutes for vitamins in their nautral source. Not only are the isolates not as effective as vitamins in their natural source, but they are also dangerous. For example, mere five times the US Reccommended Daily Allowance of vitamin D has been found to cause liver damange, and large doses of vitamin B6 taken by women for PMS relief can actually lead to nervous system damange. It should be noted that the US Recommended Daily Allowance that appears on vitamin bottles and food packages represents the maximum need (usually for an adult male), rather than the average need. The safest, most effective way to obtain essential vitamins is through herbs and plants.
Phytochemicals found in plant foods offer enormous promise in the fight against disease-particularly cancer - as they seem to have the ability to nourish and bolster the immune system like nothing else science has ever seen. Studies have shown that phytochemicals have the ability to block the process that leads to carcinogenesis, and may even reverse or halt the progression of cancer at any stage. There are millions of different nutrients in plant foods, and each plant contains a unique variety of phytochemicals.
