SAVING MONEY
How can buying HIGH QUALITY fruits and vegetables save you money? An almost instinctive thought is that it must be the other way around.
An ancient proverb insists that the pleasure of purchasing QUALITY persists long after any difference in initial cost is forgotten. Can you not remember that, say, scrumptious peach or pear that accidentally found its way to your plate? What you are remembering is, say, 18 brix instead of the 10 or 11 brix fruit on most stands. If the purpose of buying food is to get the minerals needed to create bodies, then buying more brix per dollar represents the wisest possible savings.
Almost all doctors agree that eating more fruits & vegetables leads to far better heath along with less hospital and nursing care. At first thought you may worry that your family will consume far more of any better tasting, more highly mineralized (HIGHER QUALITY) fruits and veggies when you locate such. However, it doesn’t work exactly that way. Indeed, once their bodies catch up on minerals and quit demanding endless empty calories, they will often surprise you by becoming sated much sooner and on smaller quantities.
Livestock owners are quite familiar with this phenomenon and know the true economy of feeding quality forage. One producer of soil remineralization products uses the 6 bales = 9 bales concept to illustrate the value of his product when feeding hay. He points out that the feed value of hay produced with his product tends to run 50% higher than that produced by others.
Progressive dentists know that the higher mineral content of higher quality fruits & vegetables leads to healthier teeth and gums. That wonderful classic, "NUTRITION & PHYSICAL DEGENERATION" by Dr. Weston Price (available from Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation 800-366-3748 or the author) makes a strong case that highly mineralized food prevents ANY tooth or gum problems.
Saving money by first identifying, then buying and eating HIGH QUALITY food only follows:
- It’s possible you will spend less for intensive doctor care...
- You may avoid a nursing home...
- Your dental checkups could become checkups only...
- You could avoid buying poor quality food that you later throw out...
- Your meals may shift away from high-priced manufactured food to more wholesome basic fruits & vegetables...
- You may even purchase and eat less total food because your body's hidden hunger for missing vitamins and minerals will lessen as you obtain HIGHER QUALITY food...
- Finally, you more than likely will free yourself from purchasing bottles upon bottles of vitamins and other food supplements because you will be getting more generous amounts of higher quality vitamins and essential body elements exactly as your body is designed to get them: from your food...
And the truth shall set you free... |
