What are Nutritional requirements?


Nutritional requirements fall under five categories: protein, carbohydrates, minerals, fats and vitamins. Eating foods first-hand from nature, grown in fertile soil (free from chemicals and pesticides) will help ensure a better supply of these nutritional needs.

Processing, refining and overcooking destroy much food value.
There is a cycle in nature known as the "food cycle" or "food chain".

The Sun is the source of energy for all life on our planet; it nourishes the plants (the top of the food chain) which are then eaten by animals (vegetarian), which are then eaten by other animals (carnivores). The food at the top of the food chain, being directly nourished by the Sun, has the greatest life energy. The food value of animal flesh is termed as "second-hand" source of nutrition.

 All natural foods (fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts and
grains) have, in varying quantities, different proportions of these essential nutrients. As source of protein, these are easily assimilated by the body. However, second-hand sources are often more difficult to digest and are of less value to the body's
metabolism.
