Vitamin Supplements or Fresh Fruits and Vegetables?

[Guest guest]

Yes, vitamins control an important part of our body. Vitamin

supplements are one of the most salable medicines in any drugstores.

 

However, please bear in mind that your digestive organs might forget

how to absorb minerals from fresh fruits and vegetables you eat, if

you are depending on those ready-made vitamin minerals. It is because

your digestive organs learned the easiest way to absorb ready-made

vitamins rather than non-digested fresh fruits and vegetables.

 

We are trying to encourage our friends to eat more fresh fruits and

vegetables to get vitamin minerals, not from tablet or liquid form of

vitamin supplements.

 

Today, young parents try to give a lot of vitamin supplements to

their children, thinking it will help their children's health and

growth. Probably, they are influenced by T.V. commercials.

 

Yes, it is true that life expectancy for Japanese is already the

longest in the world. Female life expectancy is about 86 years or

more and about 79 years for male. Aren't these figures due to

vitamins and other kinds of modern medicine? That's what I am worried.

 

During the time of our old folks, they eat traditional foods such as

fish, rice, vegetables and lots of fruit for the season. And we were

healthy and with happy long life. Today, numbers of old citizen are

increasing but they look just like a living dead. They are not

healthy at all. Their bodies accept only foods from fast food chains

such as hamburgers and instant noodles and uncountable number of

vitamins and other medicines d by doctors under governmental

medicare.

 

The body (digestive system) of senior citizens are somewhat changed

to accept only soft foods and ready-made vitamins and medicines. If

they eat fresh foods, stomach troubles might occur and the foods will

not be digested at all. Their body is forgetting to absorb nutrients

from foods they eat, and will only depend on ready-made vitamins.

 

We recommend you to take a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables with

other seafoods. How about fresh meat, fish, seaweeds, tofu, etc.? For

sure, these daily foods will keep you healthy and have a longer life.

 

Do not let your baby and children take vitamin supplements too much.

It will just destroy their body, especially when they grow up. They

will be just like living dead, the same as many senior citizens in my

country, Japan.

 

Let your children eat fresh vegetables and fruits and fresh meat and

seafoods. Their body will never forget to absorb nutrients from those

fresh foods and they will grow healthy. I am glad that there were no

vitamin supplements during our childhood, especially during 1930 –

1946 in Japan. All my brother and family clans grew up with breast-

feeding and natural fresh foods. We are now old enough, but we are

all healthy and bright. Only sickness my brother and I suffered

during childhood was tuberculosis. Now, our children are also grown

up and we have grandchildren and great grandchildren, too. Thanks to

God, we are all fine and healthy.

One thing I really loved about living in Lima, Peru was the wide

variety of inexpensive fresh fruit in the markets. Last time I went

there was for a month and lost 30 lbs. The whole time we ate fresh

fruit and vegetables, and as meat we mostly had fresh cuhicken. It was

killed and plucked within 24 hrs. before eating - not frozen or drugged

like we get here. If you wanted a snack you ate grapes or coconut or

plums. You come home feeling alot better.

Dear Junji,

I am totally with you on the superiority of foods over

pills. I grew up in post-war Holland, and the only supplement

we got was cod liver oil (the original flavor, shudder).

Most of our food was seasonal and local.

AND: something has happened to the food supply since 1946.

 

Totally apart from the individual choices people make, what

do you think 60 years of industrial style farming has done

to the mineral content of the soil?

Let's just say that back in 1936 the USA Senate was worried

about that issue.

 

So these days we can't quite get our goods from food alone,

we need some concentrated nutrition now and then.

Whole food-based nutritional supplements seem to be growing

in popularity, people are getting smart!

Most of our food was seasonal and local. Red meat was a

once-a-week treat. Dairy was grass-fed. Cars were rare,

bicycles ubiquitous.

I have a friend who was trained in the macrobiotic system

of healing with food. When she started in the sixties

just whole foods would often do the trick. But 40 years

later she finds she needs the more concentrated power of

herbs, esential oils, and wild algae to get results.

There are many, different products agree with different folks.

That's another topic.
