I encourage you to read food product labels and educate yourself on good nutritional values. You only get one body and it makes good sense to take care of it. The closer a food product is to its natural state, the higher its quality....the higher quality food can help maintain health as well as quicken recovery from sickness. Eat fresh and natural foods, in this state, all of the enzymes are found intact. The amino acids are in their finest form, the minerals, vitamins, trace elements or "life force" are all present and in turn is capable of helping you to maintain and/or reproduce healthy tissue.
