Statement from creators James Colquhoun and Laurentine ten Bosch:
"We are nutritionists turned filmmakers.
We discovered that what we are being told to eat by governments, food companies and mass media marketing is actually doing us considerable harm.
In a mission to uncover the truth we have tracked down several of the world’s leaders in nutrition and natural healing from around the globe in order to provide you with the most up to date information on nutrition and natural healing.
The focus of the film is in helping us rethink the belief systems fed to us by our modern medical and health care establishments.
Our teachers point out that not every problem requires costly, major medical attention and reveal many alternative therapies that can be more effective, more economical, less harmful and less invasive."
Food Matters Teaches:
How to Protect You and Your Family from the Deadly Risk of Cancer - The Natural Way
You probably know people or at least know of people who have died of cancer. And when you first hear that they have the illness it seems so sudden, doesn’t it.
For this reason it is easy to think that Cancer just arrives from nowhere. However it could be argued that cancer is at least partly caused by our lifestyles and the society we live in.
Our bodies are attacked by 1000s of manmade chemicals, we drink chlorinated and fluoridated water, we are assaulted by electromagnetic pollution everywhere and we eat food that is drenched in pesticides and other toxins.
This combined with the mineral and nutrient deficient food in our supermarkets, refined and processed ‘plastic food’, soil that has been robbed of its minerals means that it is no wonder that our immune system can’t fight it all off and a disease like cancer can take over. It’s not your fault and there is another way.
What if you could prevent the onset of cancer and other illnesses by doing the right thing to your body? What if you practiced eating whole foods, practiced mind body balance through meditation or yoga, or measured exercise? Would that help you? Many experts are saying YES it can and will help you.
Why isn’t this natural approach more strongly encouraged? It could be because there is very little money in promoting the natural way. This is sad but potentially true.
Lower Your Risk of Heart Disease by Living a Healthy Life
There is much truth in the saying ‘you are what you eat’. It is no surprise then that one of the most common factors linking people with heart disease is poor dietary and lifestyle habits. This typically includes a diet which is high in processed food, bad fats, sugars and ‘fast food’ and which is deficient in whole fresh foods such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and legumes.
Over 500,000 people die every year of Heart Disease in America
Would you change your diet and lifestyle to save your life? This is the question posed by world's leading health and nutrition experts in Food Matters. It is the mission of Food Matters to help you to become informed and educated about the foods and supplements you can take which have been proven time and time again to lower your heart disease risk level and even reverse the disease once it has taken hold. This information is essential in this day and age to ensure you and your loved ones live a long and healthy life.
What Can You Do To Prevent and Heal Diabetes – The Natural Way?
While the exact causes of diabetes are not clear, what is clear is that there are things that you can do to lessen its impact on your life or the life of people you love in a natural holistic way.
Is Lifestyle and Diet a Contributing Cause to Diabetes?
In America over 20.8 million people (approximately 7.85% of the population) suffer from Diabetes. However in India a country of more than 1 billion people very few people suffer from type II diabetes.
This points to the fact that the onset of Diabetes may have something to do with ones life style and eating habits. It also points to the fact that the cure to diabetes may also have something to do with our lifestyle and eating habits.
Consider what Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, said about food thousands of years ago: ‘Let Food By Thy Medicine, and Medicine by Thy Food’
Could choosing certain healthy natural whole foods in our diet make a difference to an illness such as diabetes? We believe so.
For more information on this, watch the fascinating Food Matters Film.
You will receive information in this film that will increase the health and ‘life energy’ of you and your family in a significant and real way.
How To Be Free From Depression ...without all the nasty side effects.
Our chemical rich modern diet with large amounts of animal protein, saturated and trans fats and an excess of caffeine and alcohol radically changes our internal ecosystem. Considering then that ‘we are what we eat’ is it any wonder that the incidences of depression are so widespread in our culture.
Interestingly, many of the things that are good for your health will also contribute to a more positive state of mind, for example: daily exercise, meditation, yoga, and eating good whole nutritious foods are all recommended by the world’s leading health and nutrition experts for optimum health. These approaches to whole body health are all things that will help you to feel happier as they transform your internal ecosystem to one of optimum health, balance and harmony. This means that following the principals of healthy living laid out in the Food Matters Film can help not only your body but also your state of mind in a way that is medically documented to have results.
An important nutritional detail that is often overlooked is the proliferating deficiency of Vitamin B3 (Niacin) in people who are suffering from depression. When given in sufficiently large doses, this safe and naturally occurring vitamin can have an intensely positive effect on mood, outlook, and overall mental wellbeing without any nasty side effects. The full story of how one doctor uses niacin to treat his patients for depression is detailed in the film.
Watch the Food Matters the film to discover MORE easy and simple ways to treat yourself or your loved ones for depression or other challenging psychological conditions.
Get on Top of Mental Illness the Natural Way.
Our chemical rich modern diets with large amounts of animal protein, saturated and trans-fats and an excess of caffeine and alcohol radically change our internal ecosystem. Considering then that ‘we are what we eat’ is it any wonder that incidences of mental illnesses are so wide spread in our culture.
Interestingly many of the things that are good for your health are good for your mental wellbeing as well. For example daily exercise, meditation, yoga and eating good whole nutritious foods are all things that are recommended by the world's leading health and nutrition experts for optimum heath. All of these things can also help people with mental illnesses achieve a more balanced state of mind. There is also research that suggests that avoiding some common foods found in the supermarket can help with some mental illnesses.
It is important to become educated about what you are putting into your body and find out what is the best lifestyle and dietary habits for you to achieve optimal mind body balance and overall wellness. A good start would be to watch the Food Matters DVD and learn what the world’s leading health and nutrition experts are saying about this area.
Change Your Life and Achieve Your Weight Loss Goals Naturally.
In many ways our modern lifestyles pull us inexorably towards weight gain. Our supermarkets are full of foods that are NOT nutrient rich so we need to eat a lot of them in order to get the vitamins, minerals and enzymes our body needs to function. Our work is largely sedentary (in that it is not active outdoor work) and there are tempting high fat sweet treats calling out to us everywhere! Is it any wonder why obesity is one of the biggest social problems in the western world today?
And yet the world’s leading health and nutrition experts tell us that there are solutions to the challenge of obesity and that these solutions may not lie in the pages of the next fad diet book. They are simpler, more natural, and easier to implement than you might imagine. It can be as simple as changing your diet and undertaking more regular physical activity in the great outdoors. However, with the average toxicity in the fat cell of the average human, sweating these toxins out is not always the safest idea.
In Food Matters the film you will find information on these natural detoxification strategies and simple ways to change your lifestyle and begin to achieve your weight loss goals naturally.
How to Achieve Optimum Health.
Unfortunately in this day and age, influences never before known to man affect the quality of our food and our capability of absorbing life giving nutrients.
Not only that our bodies are under pressure from many other factors. For example, many of us have busy life styles and careers that are primarily sedentary and find it hard to get the amount of fresh air and sunlight a healthy body needs.
In this environment is it possible to achieve optimum health? The answer is YES however it will take some conscious effort. You may need to take the time to do a certain amount of physical activity each day. You may need to introduce supplements of some sort into your diet and you may need to start introducing more whole raw organic foods.
The reality is you will probably need to change some aspect of your lifestyle and diet to achieve optimum health. However this is well worth it when you consider the benefit of achieving good health and wellbeing. You will not only reduce the likelihood of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other diseases of the western world but you will also feel much healthier and happier as well.
