What happens when the soil that feeds the plants that grow in it is deficient?
Can plants be malnourished too, Sue?
Isn't number 5 on our list interesting? Isn't it curious how our list of 7 categories of deficiency requiring supplementation continues with:
- Nutritional Breakdowns
- Hormonal Imbalances
- Digestive Challenges
- Food Vitamin Content Lack
- Soil Depletion
- Animal Feed
- Toxins (Body and Environment)
There isn't really much to understanding this one, however, there is indeed some confusion surrounding it.
You see there is some controversy on whether or not our soil is to blame for many of the food nutrient deficiencies.
Some say yes, some no. One study concludes it while another refutes any claim of it.
Only one thing is for sure: if soil becomes deficient, so can the plants that grow in it.
All that really matters is the food and how much nutrition is available from it. But, one can still be on the lookout for excellent growing conditions.
Considering the declining nutrition in food over decades, however, it's pretty clear there is a need to supplement our diets regardless of how food or soil nutrition has gone deficient.
Deficiency is deficiency...
It's interesting and maybe a little ironic that, just as soil could possibly be less nutrient-dense to plants, so can supplements created to isolate one vitamin or one specific mineral or micronutrient fall short.
Laboratory-synthesized, singular vitamins can fall just as short as a piece of fruit that doesn't have the vitamin content it once had.
Food and the body, both designed by nature, have certain makeup and are designed to complement one another.
Our food supply is supposed to match our body's need for and ability to absorb proper nutrition.
That is an important fact to observe when you look at the right or proper supplemental nutrition.
And, in continuing your education on this subject, I have a couple more things to share, the next on the list having to do with animals we eat in relation to what THEY eat.
Whether you eat meat or not, this is an important thing to understand. There are concepts at work that anyone seeking proper nutrition must know. I'll be sending you an email on that next.
Watch for one from me with the subject, "URGENT: You Are What Animals Eat". Kind of a funny subject line but precisely what I will be addressing!
As always you can call me in the meantime with questions or comments at (727) 683-5889.
I always enjoy hearing from you and I'm happy to answer your questions.
Sincerely,
Sue
