In 1991, through a routine eye exam, my wife
discovered she was nearsighted. She had to start wearing glasses to
drive her car, go to a movie, or watch a sporting event. Eight years
later, we met and eventually were married.
Because of my prior
interest in nutrition, my wife and I soon purchased a juicer. Needless
to say, she was not impressed with the idea of having to drink
vegetable juice. Nevertheless, we faithfully drank our fresh, raw
vegetable juice in the morning, three to four times per week, sometimes
more.
In addition to drinking the juice almost every day, my wife
also began taking concentrated nutrition in the form of whole-food
supplements. I mention these things because of the changes that began
to take place in our family. We started to feel better and have more
energy. Our son, Dylan, was never out of school due to sickness and
Laura and I never missed a day of work because of illness.
About
a year or so after our family began drinking the juice and taking
concentrated whole-food supplements, my wife put on her glasses one day
and everything was blurry. Off to the doctor she went for an
examination. When he was finished, the doctor shook his head in
disbelief and told her he did not understand why, but she no longer
needed to wear glasses because her vision had been restored.
Eye
doctors will tell you that they just don't see eyes spontaneously
improve. In fact, the opposite is true. Most people have to get a
stronger prescription for their glasses as the years go by. So why did
my wife's eyesight improve?
Concentrated nutrition from whole-foods.
Whenever
the body is sick or needs to make repairs, it first has to have
something with which to work, nutrition. Otherwise, slowly but surely,
the body will begin to deteriorate.
That's one reason why it's important to get the recommended nine to eleven servings of fruits and veggies every day.
