Modern Food, Health & Nutrition

Modern world is a world of technology, modern food is a product of food processing technology, where taste & nutritional value (measurable) is of prime importance even over and above health factor.

Today most of us can't digest pure organic natural food products. In order to make them digestible we have to dilute or process because today these original natural food products have become an align object to our body.

Our world today measures nutritional value of a food products, according to measurable values that are known to us. Although methods used to measure nutritional value is debatable, and doesn't takes into account the nutritional value which reaches a customer after using preservatives, packaging, transportation, long self life.

There is a theory which says that food items naturally contain two type of nutrition which is micro nutrition and macro nutrition. This theory believes that today we only measure macro nutrition and leave micro nutrition. This theory further says that nature has created a natural balance in every natural food product i.e. when our body consumes a natural food item, the counter effects of macro nutrition is automatically controlled by micro nutrition of the food item in our body.

They say most of todays lifestyle related health problems are due to the fact that today this micro nutrition is missing from our processed food. We can increase productivity but we can't exactly copy natures magical formula. Nature provides the best answer to our requirements which we may not be aware of.

Spirulina is a 100% natural food item and contains all the required nutrition naturally. Spirulina is far better than multi-vitamin and multi-mineral products which are processed because they have nutritional value which isn't naturally available in that product but has been artificially added and humans (and human operated machines too) have a human error factor which can't be ignored. So, modern foods must consider health factor and should not depend solely on nutrition.
