| Many of the health benefits of soy are associated with its unique and rich source of the phytonutrients called isoflaconsidered a complete protein, containing all the essential amino acids.
We also know that soy can increase the production and thus the levels of glucagon in the body. Glucagon is a hormone that works to counteract the response of insulin in the body, and these increased glucagon levels may also contribute to soy's ability to help control weight as well as regulate blood sugar. Glucagon also helps slow the production of enzymes that are involved in making more fat cells. |
| This is due again partly to their high fiber content but it's also because of their excellent mix of complex carbs and protein and their rich supply of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. Beans give you a big fiber and protein bang with minimal calories. One-half cup of pinto beans or kidney beans has around 8 grams of fiber and 7 grams of protein, all for about 110 calories. Beans take a long time to digest and they provide an excellent source of long-lasting energy. Beans at lunch can make the difference between a 4:00 p.m. |
| They're included in the vegetable category because of course beans are a plant-based source of important vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, and they're listed in the meat category because they are an excellent source of protein.
From a practical standpoint, there are few foods more versatile, inexpensive, and easy to incorporate into your diet. For those with little time and those trying to save money, as well as dieters simply working to reach their weight-loss goals, beans are the answer. If you have a can of beans in the pantry, you have a meal. |

 The most potent phytonutrients are found in the skin of the cherries, and that's why drinking cherry concentrates made with cherry skins can be so powerful in creating positive health effects.
The scientific literature on cherries is very clear that cherries contain very powerful natural anti-inflammatory medicines. They work equal to or better than prescription drugs at easing inflammation pain, and better yet, they won't kill you like dangerous prescription drugs can. According to estimates by Dr. |

LivingFuel Rx Super Greens is a superfood powder based on non-GMO brown rice and yellow pea protein, with numerous superfoods, phytonutrients and other nutritional elements.
It's sweetened with a combination of xylitol, mannitol, FOS (fructooligosaccharides) and stevia. (They are all natural sweeteners.)
The taste is relatively mild, with a detectable "green" flavor, but not nearly as strong as barley grass or wheat grass. |

A lot of the blue-green algae sold on the market today is actually heated during the drying process, killing the enzymes and degrading its nutrients, but these two sources I'll reveal use special techniques to preserve the nutrients found in the raw state. It's a whole new level of microalgae nutrition. |

 They're rich in monounsaturated fats and contain many other phytonutrients that contribute to human health. I think that eating handful of macadamia nuts a day is a great way to control blood sugar, satiate your appetite and boost your nutrition.
One of the best regions in the world in which to grow macadamia nuts is Hawaii, but the industry there is about to be devastated, and in another five years it may not exist at anywhere near the same level it does today. Sadly, thousands of acres of macadamia nut trees, along with the farmers who tend them, could be economically wiped out. |

 Besides, the benefits are not due to one isolated chemical, they're made possible by a symphony of supporting phytonutrients. That's something that all the minds in western pharmaceutical science today still can't understand: the synergy of healing compounds from nature.
Aloe vera gel is one of my own secrets to strong athletic performance. People who know me at the gym call me a "cardio machine." They even gave me a nickname in Capoeira that means "The Machine." Because at age 38, I'm out-performing twenty years olds. One of my secrets is simply that I frequeuntly eat raw aloe vera gel. |

LivingFuel Rx Super Greens contains more than a thousand phytonutrients that can help prevent and even reverse serious diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis and many more.
The organic sea vegetables, spirulina, green tea, selenium and zinc ingredients all help prevent breast cancer, far better than any prescription drug or conventional cancer therapy. |

 There are hundreds, actually thousands, of different phytonutrients found in foods and nutritional supplements. These are also very important to get into your body when you follow an intense physical exercise program. Eating raw nuts and seeds, I think, is also extremely important. It does not mean this has to be half of your diet, but it needs to be present in your diet at least once a day, if not more than once a day.
It is only through this superior supplementation that your body can adapt to the physical stresses you have placed upon it through exercise. |

 You see the destruction of phytonutrients at higher temperatures, the loss of protein, the loss of digestive enzymes -- the Kirlian photography shows this. Can you show us some pictures?
Wolfe: I'd love to. I just opened to this one. This is a goji berry under Kirlian photography. It's just that explosion of energy, which I really believe is symbolic of the whole raw food phenomenon. We can have not only great health, but also an explosion of health. You have to feel good all the time in order to get there, you know. You can't be eating food that makes you feel terrible. |

 Cooking food destroys much of its nutritional content -- not only the proteins, but also the vitamins and the phytonutrients that make plants such a potent nutrition source in the first place.
If you can avoid cooking some of these foods, and subsist at least partially on a live foods diet -- as I have been doing now for some time -- you find that you need a lot less food, get much better nutrition, and don't really need any meat. That includes even very active lifestyles like my own, which involve strength training, Pilates, lots of running, martial arts and cycling. |

 In four years of medical school, they often do not receive any schooling whatsoever about the healing power of foods, phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals. Across the United States, Canada, most of Europe and even Australia, there is virtually no requirement that doctors learn nutrition before they receive medical licenses and begin to practice medicine -- a fact I find absolutely astounding. There are exceptions in certain schools and regions, of course, but most medical schools teach no nutrition.

 Each color has different phytonutrients in it.
Mike: I was going to talk about that. The colors of the food are indicative of the nutrition they have and each color is indicative of different phytonutrients. I call it the medicine in your food and that medicine is in this product in freeze-dried form, correct?
Burt: It is. It's all been dehydrated at low temperatures. It's not from juice. They're whole-leaf fruits and vegetables. You're actually getting a dehydrated version of fresh fruit.

 The coffee berry is rich in antioxidants and other phytonutrients known as polyphenols. These polyphenols (or phenolic acids) have been shown to be helpful in supporting optimal blood glucose levels as well as in fighting damaging free radicals and protecting cardiovascular health.

 In nature, for example, Vitamin C is not a single chemical, but rather a symphony of complementary phytonutrients that work in concert. Conventional medical researchers almost never test plant medicine using full-spectrum nutrients. Why? Because they don't understand the concept of nutritional synergy.
The bottom line? Only fools believe research about nutrition that comes from the American Medical Association or its journal. |

 Organic fruits have much higher concentrations of phytonutrients (natural plant medicines), vitamins and minerals. Organic farming is also better for the environment. But even non-organic superfruits are very good for your health, and in my opinion, the health benefits of the natural fruit juices far outweighs the cancer risk of pesticide residues.
#4: Why do you call apple juice and grape juice "junk juices?"
Many superfruit juice products that claim "pomegranate" or "blueberry" on the front label are actually made mostly with cheaper juices such as grape and apple. |

 They contain more anti-cancer phytonutrients, more usable protein and healthier fats. Once these elements are exposed to high temperatures (through pasteurization or other methods), these nutritional qualities are irreversibly degraded, rendering the almond deficient in the nutrients it had when it was first harvested. This degradation of health-enhancing nutrients has the result of contributing to nutritional deficiencies and imbalances in North American consumers -- people who are already in a state of chronic nutritional deficiency due to the consumption of other processed foods. |

 Earlier this year, the agency sent threatening letters to 29 cherry growers, warning them to remove all links to scientific literature describing the anti-inflammatory effects of phytonutrients found in cherries. Merely linking to such studies from a web page, the FDA warned, instantly transformed cherries into drugs requiring FDA approval. The FDA believes that the dissemination of scientific information about the health benefits of fruits, vegetables and plants simply cannot be tolerated. |

Here's a fascinating use of phytonutrients found in aloe vera. I've talked about this in previous articles but never discussed it in detail until now. It turns out that special polymers found in aloe vera gel have the ability to potentiate the oxygen carrying capacity of blood.

6. Country of origin labeling is not mandatory. Where does all the pomegranate concentrate come from for the products that use concentrate? Nobody knows! One company does say their concentrate is from Turkey, but other companies list nothing. I can tell you from experience that some of this stuff comes from China and is probably contaminated with various heavy metals or scary agricultural toxins. |
