Everything the Body Needs

I was writing about Nature's Way Alive! Energizer yesterday and I remembered a scene from the movie The Matrix. Keanu Reaves is talking with one of the other members on board the vehicle they're in. They're all eating something that looks like polenta or oatmeal. One of the other members says, "it has everything the human body needs." The person Keanu Reeves is speaking to says, "it doesn't have everything."

Fortunately, you don't have to eat gruel to get everything the body needs. All you need is one scoop of Alive! Energizer. Click on the link, and then look at the nutrient facts (or specs). It's mind-boggling to think that that many nutrients can be in one spoonful of powder. If you are pressed for time, or you are eating a hypocaloric diet (fewer calories to maintain your weight), then I highly recommend you add one scoop (130 calories in the rice/pea protein version) to a cup of milk or water each day. It tastes great and it gives just about everything your body needs. If it doen't cover all of your nutritional needs, it will certainly help you reach your quota.

Assuming the bio-availability is equal to whole foods, then I never again have to worry about iron or B12, two nutrients that are otherwise hard to obtain in a diet, especially a vegetarian one like mine.

I find my Alive! Energizer at Whole Foods, but I'm sure Wegman's or other natural-food stores carry it as well. If you travel a lot, then I recommend the individual packets.

P.S.- Sorry I can't remember the names of the characters in the movie. It's an interesting movie, but it's not worth another two hours of my time.
