Protein is an important nutrient needed for a healthy balanced diet.  When you think of the different food groups, protein has always been in a separate box than the vegetables.  We have been taught that you can get this in the form of chicken, red meat, eggs and fish. 

What about protein in vegetables?  Green Vegetables are said to be the most nutrient dense of all foods.  Most Americans do not realize that green vegetables contain protein.

So what is the difference between Animal Protein and Plant Protein?  Animal protein simply does not contain the nutrients that protect us against cancer and disease.  Plant Protein is low in calories and rich in nutrients.

When you compare 100 calorie portions of broccoli to sirloin, the results are shocking.  Broccoli has more than twice as much protein than the sirloin without the cholesterol and saturated fat.  It also has vitamins, phytochemicals, antioxidants and fiber that the sirloin does not.

Americans are only consuming 7% of their diet with unrefined plant foods.  Dairy and animal foods are at 42%, but refined and processed foods are at a scary 51%.  It is no wonder that cancer and heart attack are the top two killers among Americans.

It is much easier to prevent cancer and disease than to treat it.  There is no doubt that we need more Whole Food Nutrition and regular exercise to maintain a healthy lifestyle.  Unfortunately, we do not eat enough unrefined foods.  It is vital to our health to get this nutrition.

With these shocking statistics, it is no wonder that over 50% of Americans are turning to supplements to aid in their nutritional intake.  Besides a healthy balanced Organic diet, two great ways to ensure your nutritional needs are taking a Whole Food Daily Vitamin or Organic Whole Food Supplements.  This is a natural alternative to supplementing your diet.
