Phytonutrients: Natural Solutions to Modern Health Issues |
|---|
Enzyme rich green foods and phytonutrients can help heal your body, boost your energy and strengthen your immune system.
Phytonutrients are plant compounds found in fresh fruits and vegetables. They have been shown to have tremendous beneficial effects on the body. Among other things, phtyonutrients have been shown by research to have antioxidant, anti-aging and anti-cancer properties. But, unfortunately, the modern diet has become increasingly deficient in these amazing compounds.
The average American’s fast food, processed, nutrient poor diet is a stark contrast to how we ate in recent history. We have made drastic alterations to our diet, almost exclusively away from phytonutrient rich, fresh green foods and fruits. The lack of these foods are the cause of much pain and suffering from diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes and obesity.
The decreased consumption of phytonutrients is in part caused by the genetic modification and processing procedures of our fruits and vegetables. Today’s produce has been modified to have durable skins for rough cross country travel, and is often picked long before the peak of ripeness in order to endure the sorting, washing, packaging and trucking they have to undergo before appearing in our local grocery stores. All in all, the “fresh” produce we buy is a far cry from the juicy fresh treats we once savored at the local farmers market or roadside produce stand. Given the depleted nature of our fruits and vegetables, the “5-a-day” rule is not sufficient to give our bodies the necessary phytonutrients we need.
Antioxidants are another reason vegetables and especially fruits are so healing for the body. Our industrialized world constantly exposes us to free radicals: unstable oxygen molecules associated with cancer, heart disease and the effects of aging. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, keeping us healthy. Tufts scientists measured the antioxidant levels of 50 fresh fruits and vegetables, and found berries occupied the top slots. This has largely been attributed to their high anthocyanin content. Anthocyanins give berries their blue and red colors, as well as being powerful antioxidants, three to four times more potent then the traditional antioxidants such as vitamins C and E.
New research is constantly exposing novel health benefits from fresh fruit. Some of these include:
- Tart cherries provide highly effective pain relief and a multiplicity of other health benefits. In 1998, scientists at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan, discovered that the anthocyanin in red tart cherries give 10 times the anti-inflammatory relief of aspirin, without irritating the stomach.
- At the meeting of the American Chemical Society in April, 2002, several studies were presented that demonstrated that the antioxidants in cranberries not only help with urinary tract infections, but also appear to possess anti-cancer properties, inhibit the growth of common food borne pathogens and contain antibacterial properties.
- USDA researcher Ronald Prior, Ph.D., determined that blueberries have the highest antioxidant capacity of 40 tested fruits and vegetables, largely due to the anthocyanin flavonoids that give blueberries their dark blue color. Recent laboratory studies suggest blueberries may delay the onset of age-related memory loss.
With the growing challenge we face to feed ourselves and our families nutrient rich, high quality food, it is good to know ALL ONE offers economical and convenient ways you can take advantage of all the benefits offered by phytonutrients. By adding ALL ONE Green Phyto Base and ALL ONE Fruit Antioxidant Formula to your daily routine you will be sure to get two full grams of healing phytonutrients daily. You can alternate days, taking ALL ONE Green Phyto Base one day and then the Fruit Antioxidant Formula the next, or split the dosage, taking half a tablespoon of the Fruit Antioxidant Formula in the morning and one half tablespoon of the Green Phyto Base in the afternoon/evening. However you choose you can rest assured that you and your family are getting the quality nutrition available with noticeable results.

| Q & A |
Question: "Can I combine my ALL ONE Fruit Antioxidant Formula with the Green Phyto Base in the same drink?"
Answer: You can do a half dosage of each together if
that is your only option. However, we suggest
that the Fruit Antioxidant Formula and the
Green Phyto Base be taken seperately to
maximize the benefits of both. The green
cereal grasses promote an alkaline
enviroment in the cells. When taken with the
fruit pigment mixture it can subdue this
alkaline effect.

"I truly cannot say enough about ALL ONE. The story below occurred about 12-15 years ago. Since then, (about two years ago) I contracted a seriously bad viral strain that for some reason my system never created strong antibodies for. I was VERY sick for over two months in bed, dropped 12 pounds the first week and even ended up in the hospital. But, as most people know...there is really no cure for viruses. Your own immune system has to create the antibody to keep it in check just like chicken poxs, or mumps or any other flu type virus. The only thing to do is keep the immune system as strong as possible. It's been two years now, but there are days that without ALL ONE I would miss days off from work. Also, my lifestyle is very active; I love to be outdoors and run and bicycle. I have two large dogs that demand a lot of exercise as well. ALL ONE coupled with a good diet of vegetables and some herbal supplements has helped keep my immune system shored up so my body can continue to fight the virus and finish creating the antibodies. If I miss a day or so of ALL ONE, I can tell a big difference. So I know it works.Thank you for letting me share my story. My hope is that it can help others out there who may have similar health issues and possibly even lost hope."

Summer Smoothies
Making fruit smoothies is a wonderful way to enjoy warm-weather fruits -- they're great for breakfast, cooling off on a hot summer day or a quick snack in the afternoon. Similar in consistency to milk shakes, smoothies are quick, nutritious and amazingly rich and yummy at the same time. And kids love smoothies, so they are a perfect way to get them to eat fruit.
To make a smoothie like they sell in the smoothie bars freeze your fruit ahead of time in zip lock bags, this works great for blueberries, strawberries and bananas. This allows you to get the maximum amount of fruit in your smoothie by not needing to use ice cubes.
Add a boost- make your smoothie all that it can be by adding one scoop of ALL ONE multivitamin and supplement powder. Good nutrition that tastes good too!
