Why is a Glyconutrient Complex Needed?
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010A glyconutrient complex offers eight carbohydrates in the form of sugars that are essential for your health. Without them you would not be able to live without disease and serious health problems such as diabetes, arthritis and heart disease. Most people do not eat enough fresh fruit and vegetables to take enough of these in their diet, and even they do eat fruit and vegetables today’s agricultural practices destroy most of the nutrition they contain. Consider this:
Modern agricultural practices cause most fruits and vegetables to be grown in soil depleted of nutrients, and then picked before they ripen naturally in order that they are ripe when purchased. They are irradiated and ripening is forced, they are stored for too long and then could be cooked, canned, refined, pasteurized, processed - you name it, it happens, and each stage destroys even more of the natural nutrition of the fruit or vegetable.
By the time it reaches your table it is tasteless and you are lucky if you get anywhere near 5% of the original nutritional value. Some are even marked ‘ripen at home’! These have little chance of containing any natural glyconutrients since ripening must occur naturally as nutrients are being drawn from the soil.
All because of ‘green’ farming that also permits transport over long distances and lengthy storage times. The essential glyconutrients we are discussing are biosynthesized by the plant only when ripening naturally and is available for only 2-3 days after picking. That’s why a glyconutrient complex is needed!
Fortunately, glyconutrient complexes are available over the counter at your local or internet health food store. When buying this kind of supplement, look for a name brand like Now Foods to ensure quality and purity of the supplement your purchase for consumption.
