What are the body's Nutritional needs?

1, Glucose
  * Energy, fuel
2. Amino Acids
  *Building blocks, Structure
3. Fatty Acids
  *Stucture, hormones, transportation of Minerals
4. Enzymes and Vitamins
  * Catalysts, "chemical lubricants"
  * Without enzymes life cannot exist
  * Types and Sources:
  a. Vegetarian or plant enzymes
  b. Metabolic or Body enzymes
  * All raw food contain enzymes
5. Minerals
  * Structure and catalysts
  * Types and Sources
  a. Inorganic
  . rock minerals, as found in earth
  . dead or enzymatically inactive
  b. Organic
  . found in raw food
  . have enzymes attached
  . "live" or enzymatically active
Mineral Physiology;
*Without enzymes, minerals are not usable by the body.
*Enzymes allow minerals to:
. be absorbed from the intestine into the blood stream
. be used in physiology

*Minerals without enzymes, if absorbed, are of no value to the body, and can even be toxic.

*Every day the body burns minerals to replace and repair cells and carry out metabolic processes.

*These minerals must be replaced from an outside and organic source.

*This source is raw fruits and vegetables.

*When these are not supplied, health begins to wane, disease ultimately results.

6. Water
  * Facilitates every metabolic or chemical reaction that transpires in the body to maintain life.

  * Types and Sources
  a. Pure
  . contains only the water molecule, nothing else
  . as found in fruits and vegetable
  . distilled, reverse osmosis filtered, ozonated water
  b. Non-Pure
  . contains inorganic minerals and/or chemicals
  . sources: tap, well, mineral drinking, lake, rain, river, spring.
