a day or two of one another), the body can gain access to each "letter" (component), of protein. EVERY food contains some form of protein. Leafy greens contain not only protein, but the vitamins that help protein assimilate in our bodies. (Monkeys are one-third our size. They do not eat meat. Yet, their muscles are 10 times as strong for their weight, all from a vegetarian diet)! When looking for quality protein, we are trying to find a variety that keeps the entire alphabet available to our bodies. The biggest problem in today's society is not obtaining protein, it is assimilating it!.

When proteins are incompletely digested, they can putrefy in your intestines. When proteins are incompletely digested, they can no longer be used to create the compositional elements your body needs.

How do we help our body break down proteins? Current knowledge suggests that two main ways exist. By far the easiest way is to obtain lots of foods that contain the B-Vitamins.

The B-Vitamin Complex is almost as magical as proteins. There are 11 of these wonderful synergistic motivators; and they interact with the body to do all sorts of things, including the break-down of proteins. Their alphabet contains less letters, but the words they create are specific to task. In one combination they lubricate joints. In another, they bless your skin and hair, adding a healthy sheen to each. In yet another, they alleviate stress, forming just the right combination of triggers and regulators for serotonin. When your body has enough B-Vitamins, your thinking is clearer. The special chemical combinations found in within the complete complex of B's help the electrical connections in your brain fire. They are very special!

What does the word "synergistic" mean? It means, that once the chemical breakdown of Vitamin B begins, each component interacts with one or several of the remaining B's in order to perform a specific chore. In other words, they rely upon each other, like the RAM on your computer relies on data, which relies on the hard drive or on software, which relies onand onand on.

I am sure you have heard the warnings against using white flour, white rice, etc. Health advocates are returning to the understanding that de-natured grains are "clogging up the works." It's true, they are! Ever made white-flour paste? What IS your body supposed to do with that?

But perhaps more importantly, without the presence of the entire complex of B-Vitamins, the body can become deplete in them. Why? Because,
