Dear Living Fuel Family,
It’s hard to top a cold, crisp fresh-cut watermelon on a scorching summer day. Fresh fruit and vegetables are among the most powerful (and flavorful) fuel for our bodies! In today’s timely HealthAlert, we explore how we can maximize the nutrition of our favorite produce and protect our families from potential hazards such as herbicides and pesticides.
It’s best to shop the perimeters of our grocery store, but how do we safely navigate the vast array of colorful fruits and vegetables in the produce section? Which non-organic fruits and vegetables are OK to eat when the organically-grown equivalent is not available? Which should you always try to purchase organically and why? Which fruits and vegetables are genetically-modified? Which are listed in the Environmental Working Group’s “Dirty Dozen” and which are on the “Clean 15″? What is a PLU number and why is it important?
Learn the answer to these questions, have a pen handy and empower yourself by clicking here to watch.

diet, food supply, fruit, Living Fuel, LivingFuel, nutrition, soil depletion, vegetable garden, vegetables
We’re only a couple of weeks from the official start of Spring and for a lot of people it means planting their vegetable gardens. The month of March is also National Nutrition Month, so it is a good time to think about what we eat. This year’s theme is “Nutrition From the Ground Up” and that’s the right place to start.
The nutritional value of vegetables and fruits begins with the quality of the soil. Soil has been defined as the characteristics that support life. Unfortunately, much of the soil used in the United States and around the world is nutrient-poor. Why? Among other things, it is because of gross mismanagement of the soil by many of the companies that grow the majority of the nation’s food supply. The methods companies use to grow food (including maximum yield mass farming) have removed most of the nutrients from the soil without replacing them. We have lost about 90% of the mineral content from our soil and fertilizer only replaces a small amount. Some farms are already 100% depleted. That spells nutritional disaster for our country!
In addition to the problem of soil depletion, we also have to deal with soil contamination. Chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbacides have destroyed most of the precious microorganisms necessary for growing food from the ground up. Soil contamination (pollution) is another national disaster. We’ve allowed big companies to use and dispose of contaminants with little consequence. We’ve poured and sprayed toxic chemicals all over the soil that we now need so desperately for our food supply. You can learn more about the problem of soil depletion and other causes of the serious degradation in the quality of our food supply at http://www.livingfuel.com/Health_Alert_Our_Food_Supply.aspx .
Fortunately, there is an answer. It’s called organic farming. It uses crop rotation, compost, mechanical cultivation, green manure, and biological pest control to rebuild the nutrient value of soil. The growing demand for organic fruits and vegetables has seen an increase in organically managed farmland. It’s still only about 1% of the world’s farm land, but it is growing in size.
Living Fuel is committed to supporting organic farming and the improvement of our soil and food supply. We use only the best natural ingredients for our products to ensure Living Fuel’s potency, purity, quality, and bioavailability (www.livingfuel.com).

A cocktail of vitamins, minerals and herbals may delay the major aspects of the aging process and extend lifespan by 10 per cent, according to a new study from Canada.
Mice fed a supplement containing 30 dietary ingredients did not experience a 50 per cent loss in daily movement like other non-supplemented animals, according to findings published in the current issue of Experimental Biology and Medicine.
Researchers say the benefits were linked to increases in the activity of mitochondria, the power plants of the cells, as well as by reducing levels of free radicals produced by the mitochondria.
Lead researcher David Rollo of McMaster University said these findings could help people live better longer.
“This study obtained a truly remarkable extension of physical function in old mice, far greater than the respectable extension of longevity that we previously documented. This holds great promise for extending the quality of life of ‘health span’ of humans,” Rollo added.

Obesity comes with plenty of health risks, but there’s one that’s perhaps not so well known: an increased risk of developing cancer, and especially certain types of cancer like liver cancer. Now, a group of researchers reporting in a recent issue of the journal Cell, a Cell Press publication, have confirmed in mice that obesity does indeed act as a “bona fide tumor promoter.” They also have good evidence to explain how that happens.

Diseases of the heart and circulation are so common and the public is so well acquainted with the major symptoms that result from cardiovascular disorders that patients, and occasionally physicians, wrongly attribute many unrelated complaints to cardiovascular disease (CVD). It should not be a surprise that this occurs since most patients are aware that cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States.
A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition investigated whether low vitamin B6 levels increased risk for cardiovascular disease.
