The Need for Nutrition

Nutritional supplements are no longer just a good idea.
They’re a necessity.
Our plants may be bigger and better looking today, but they lack the nutritional potency they used to have. And, it begins with our soil. The 1992 Earth Summit revealed that farmlands in North America are now 85 percent nutrient depleted – our once fertile soils are now nearly dead. It should be no surprise then, that what we grow in that soil doesn’t measure up, either. A study by the USDA shows that over the past 50-70 years, the nutritional value of most fruits and vegetables has fallen precipitously, in some cases by 40 percent or more for key minerals and vitamins.
It’s a big part of the reason that we are the most overfed, undernourished country in the world. Have you heard the news?

• 2/3 of all deaths are caused by poor diet – including heart disease, the No. 1 killer in the U.S.
• 70% of people do not receive the minimum daily requirement of key nutrients.
• 80% of cancers are diet related.
• A child is diagnosed with autism every 20 minutes.
• There is a new diagnosis of Alzheimer’s every 72 seconds.
• 95% of Type 2 diabetes is caused by obesity.
• 7 out of 10 Americans are overweight or obese.
• 1 in 3 adult Americans has high blood pressure.
• More than 1 in 5 Americans have doctor-diagnosed arthritis.
• Americans age 65 and older take an average of
  5-6 medications daily.

You get the point...

Is there a health crisis in our society? Most people would agree that, yes, it is a crisis. But we choose to use a different word: Opportunity.
We’re the “glass half full” type. We believe we have an opportunity to help people stay healthy – even regain their health. We believe we have an opportunity to share the hope of Relìv. We believe we have an opportunity to nourish our world!
