1. Your Legacy of Wellness:Detoxify Your Body and Home Ashley Reynolds, B.S. Athletic Training, Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist, Wellness Educator

2. What We Will Discuss Today: • Nutrition in the 21st Century • WHY Vitamins & Minerals? • Soil Mineral Depletion • Our Toxic Household • Are There Safe Alternatives? • Medicine Kit in a Bottle • Is There A Solution??

3. “We can get all the nutrition (vitamins and minerals) we need from our food supply.” Industry myth

4. Nutrition in the 21st Century • Overfed and Undernourished! • The modern diet differs drastically compared to that of our ancestors. • Although we live in an age of availability and abundance, we choose to ignore many foods that are good for us. • Processing foods destroys nutrients!

5. WHY Vitamins & Minerals? • Your body can’t produce them. • Timing is everything. • Deficiencies today can hurt tomorrow. • What happens when we don’t get enough??

6. Soil Mineral Depletion:Warning…35 Years Ago! • “In the future, we will not be able to rely anymore on our premise that the consumption of a varied balanced diet will provide all the essential trace elements, because such a diet will be very difficult to obtain for millions of people.” • Dr. Walter Mertz, US Department of Agriculture, 1977 Statement to Congress

7. Soil Mineral Depletion:Farming Disrupts Healthy Land

8. Soil Mineral Depletion:Chemicals • Ever increasing demands on the farm • Pesticides and herbicides reduce the plant’s ability to absorb and assimilate the few trace minerals that may be remaining in the soil. • In Conclusion: When nature gets cheated, SO DO THE REST OF US!

9. 3 Potential Solutions • Re-mineralize farmlands. • Eat locally grown produce from organic farms. • Provide the body with minerals and nutrients directly through supplementation. (Patented Oligo Technology, discussed later)
