WW: This Study Reveals Decreased Nutrition in Whole Foods

Even the healthiest diet may no longer provide all the nutrients your body truly needs…

The truth is, our food isn’t what it used to be.

Over the past 50–70 years, due to changes in soil quality and agricultural practices, there has been a significant decline in the vitamin and mineral content of our foods.

So join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3323 as we uncover what this decline in nutrition means for your health and what you can do to support your body. Enjoy the show, and let me know what you think!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways:

1. What Did the Research Show

Research from 1950 to 1999 found significant declines in the levels of key nutrients, including protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, riboflavin (vitamin B2), and vitamin C.

2. Why Is This Happening

Nutrient levels in crops are declining primarily due to modern agricultural practices that focus on higher yields, faster growth, and pest resistance. As a result, crops are growing larger but contain fewer vitamins and minerals.

3. Why Is This Important

Due to these nutrient declines, many people are not getting the essential vitamins and minerals their bodies need for optimal health. That’s why it’s important to prioritize quality sources of food—buy from local farmers’ markets, choose organic or organically grown produce, and support farms that grow in mineral-rich soil. Additionally, consider filling in nutritional gaps with high-quality supplementation when needed to ensure your body gets the nutrients it needs to thrive.
