How Healthy Are Hydroponic Vegetables?
Hydroponic vegetables are grown in greenhouses, not in the soil, but in chemical and mineral solutions. Growers of hydroponics can still use pesticides but generally less because of the green house environment. Some hydroponic growers may meet the organic standards by using organic nutrient mixtures and natural pesticides. If they meet the organic standards, they will be labeled as organic.
If you have a choice between commercially grown and hydroponic, hydroponic is probably the better choice. The best choice, always, is organically grown.
Fast Food Diet Causes Liver Damage
In a small study recently, the participants ate at least two meals a day at a fast food restaurant. After a month, the results showed a link to liver damage and a weight gain of an average of 14 pounds in four weeks. The participants in the control group showed no changes in liver enzymes or their weight.
If you haven't seen the movie "Super-Size Me" rent it from your library or local video store. It tells the story of what one month on a fast-food diet, three meals a day, will do to your body. This movie is consistent with the results of the above study.

Custom Nutrition
You are unique, and so are your body's nutritional requirements. Custom nutrition supports your body's unique nutritional needs. If you're buying vitamin supplements off the shelf in the grocery store, a health food store, or even a top quality nutritional program that's all natural, derived from whole foods and is the best the industry has to offer, you may NOT be getting what your body needs. There's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach to nutritional supplements. Find out how you can get not only your supplements customized to your body's specific needs, but also the specific foods that will give your body the precise nourishment it needs.
