Study after study has shown that anyone who doesn't consume 5-10
servings of vegetables per day is missing out on nature's ultimate
insurance policy. Vegetables provide the body with compounds not found
in other foods including: enzymes, minerals, antioxidants and chlorophyll.
Vegetables are nature's richest source of carotenoids including
beta carotene and lycopene. By taking Perfect Food every day, you'll
never have to go without your 5-10 servings of veggies.
Only 9% of Americans consume the recommended 5 servings of
veggies per day; even less consume 3-5 servings of green leafy vegetables.
Whole Food Nutrition vs Vitamin &
Mineral Supplements
People often wonder if they should also supplement with a green food
blend while taking a multiple
vitamin/mineral formula. Whole foods provide vitamins and minerals as
nature intended, with all of the naturally occurring co-factors and
synergistic compounds in tact. They contain hundreds, and
possibly thousands, of yet to be discovered nutrients, that cannot be
isolated and put into a
vitamin / mineral supplement.
With whole foods and their concentrates containing complete nutritional
complexes, the body is able to recognize these as food, easily assimilating
what it needs and excreting what it doesn't - this is called "selective
absorption". Most vitamin and mineral supplements however, are
made from fractionated, isolated, or synthetic sources, leaving your
body no choice but to deal with these incomplete substances, thus creating
a potential environment of bio-chemical imbalances and toxicities.
For optimal health, there is nothing better or more compatible to the
human body than nutrient-rich, unprocessed whole foods in their balanced,
natural state. Perfect Food - a new standard in whole food nutrition.
Grass - A Perfect Food
Nutrient-Rich Grasses: Cereal grasses are the only foods in the vegetable
kingdom that, even if consumed alone, enable animals to continually maintain weight, strength,
and optimal health. Grasses are considered to be at, or near, the base
of the terrestrial food chain. The powers of the sun that are trapped
in its blades produce rich amounts of chlorophyll and other green photosynthetic pigments.
The grasses, known today as green superfoods, supply many nutritional
factors that even now scientists cannot duplicate in a vitamin or mineral pill. Grass is perhaps
the most nutrient-dense food on this green earth, richer in nutrients
than spinach, broccoli, eggs and chicken in virtually all categories
including protein, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium,
zinc, copper, manganese, vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin
B12, carotenoids, and vitamin E. They abound in unidentified growth
factors, powerful antioxidants, immune boosters, and many other health
supporting nutrients.
Why Garden of Life Perfect Food ?
In today's hectic lifestyle, it's nearly impossible to eat
enough vegetables, especially greens, to satisfy our body's needs.
Because of this, we are depriving ourselves of nature's ultimate
insurance policy. Perfect Food was created to meet the demands
of our fast-paced lives, by supplying every nutrient our body requires
to sustain optimal levels of health.
A balance of nutrient-dense, enzyme-rich "live foods",
Garden of Life Perfect contains antioxidant green grasses, micro-algae, sea
vegetables, whole vegetables and their juices, sprouted grains, seeds,
legumes, and acerola cherries - one of nature's most abundant
food source of vitamin C.
What's in Garden of Life Perfect Food ?
Perfect Food contains the highest quality ingredients on the planet.
Many other products use large amounts of inexpensive ingredients such
as lecithin, apple fiber and flax seed meal. While these
compounds do provide some benefit, they are not nearly as beneficial
as nutrient rich whole foods such as greens. These filler ingredients
significantly reduce the manufacturer's cost of the product. Considering
the cost of green superfoods, inexpensive ingredients used as fillers
such as lecithin, apple fiber, rice bran and flax meal should not represent
more than 10% of the product. If you look at the competing brands, the
aforementioned ingredients typically make up over 30% of the product
by weight. Perfect Food contains over 8500mg of highly concentrated
absorbable green foods with no filler ingredients. Perfect Food
is high in nutrition and low in calories, making it ideal for those
on low carbohydrate diets.
Why not take vitamin and mineral pills
instead of Garden of Life Perfect Food ?
Whole foods contain hundreds and possibly thousands of yet to be discovered
nutrients that cannot be isolated. Many of these nutrients provide amazing
health benefits. With foods and food concentrates that contain whole
nutritional complexes, the body can assimilate what it needs and excrete
what it does not need; this is called selective absorption. On the other
hand, with isolated and/ or synthetic vitamins, there is no choice.
The body must handle the chemical in some manner and can suffer consequences
of bio-chemical imbalances and toxic overdose. (New Hope for Incurable
Diseases, E. Cheraskin & W.M. Ringsdorf Jr., 1971) Vitamins and
minerals are devoid of living nutrients such as enzymes. Have you ever
seen anyone plant vitamin pills in the ground and grow a vitamin bush?
The nutrient dense enzyme rich "live foods" contained in Perfect
Food provide vitamins and minerals as nature intended, with all
of the co-factors and synergistic compounds. Try Perfect Food for
one month and feel the difference real food makes!
* Total Green Foods: grass juices, microalgae (i.e. blue-green algae),
green and sea vegetables.
+ Garden of life defines "Filler Ingredients" as follows: lecithin,
apple fiber and pectin, oat bran, Jerusalem artichoke, barley malt,
maltodextrin, rice bran with fiber, or sweeteners, etc. These are not
inferior ingredients, but they are much less nutrient dense than greens
and significantly less expensive.
