Is your body being starved of vital nutrients? by Kathy Joyce

Over a hundred years ago the nutritional quality of the soil

was far greater than it is today.

Modern farming methods over the years have gradually seen a

decline in the soil's nutrients.

aren't getting the same benefit as 100 years ago.

Crops are being grown in soils that have less goodness

imported from other countries are picked before the're ripe

and then flown long distances before being stacked on

vegetable racks at home for days before being cooked and

eaten. This means even more nutrients are lost.

years ago,and runner beans that used to contain large amounts

of sodium hardly have a trace of it today.

Chemicals are also added to our food. Fertilizers and

pesticides are used in farming, and fruit is often sprayed

with chemicals to help ripening after they have been picked.

and growth hormones.
