Consume a colorful variety of wholesome (preferably organic) real food that is minimally processed and grown in fertile soil. Each mineral represents a different color. Real food nourishes and promotes growth. Man-made concoctions and imitation products are not real food. They are pollutants that destroy the body and are often addictive.

Each day, select foods rich in enzymes, such as sprouts, fruits, and vegetables, and foods rich in carotenoids: such as algae, apricots, avocado, blueberries, boysenberries, camu-camu, carrots, cherries, cranberries, dates, egg yolk, grapes, kiwi fruit, leafy greens, mangoes, papaya, peaches, peppers, pomegranates, prunes, pumpkin, red grapefruit, sea vegetables, sweet potatoes, Sun chlorella, spirulina, turmeric. These nourishing superfoods are also a rich source of antioxidants. Carotenoids are the red, yellow, orange, and dark green colored compounds found in fruits and vegetables. In the body, they promote cell communication and participate in female reproduction. Carotenoids come in different forms: beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, gamma-carotene, lycopene, lutein, beta-cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin. Resveratrol, found in grape skins, is another beneficial antioxidant. Ensure they are organic and not preserved with chemicals, canola oil, or other damaged vegetable oils.
BEWARE: Cholesterol-lowering medications lower blood levels of carotenoids. In addition, margarine enriched with plant sterols such as Benecol and Olestra, a fat substitute added to snack foods, may decrease the absorption of carotenoids. Also, non-organic foods such as grapes, dried fruits, chickpeas, beans, legumes, and nuts are sprayed with toxic chemicals such as atrazine, cryolite, glyphosate, pesticides, sulfuryl fluoride. Plus, many of these foods contain canola oil. These toxic chemicals significantly increase the level of fluorine in the body, which causes frozen shoulders, painful joints, bone deformities, thyroid disease, gut dysbiosis, and numerous other ailments.
AVOID all non-organic food, especially grains sprayed with glyphosate for storage.
