August Hergesheimer

August:
I have studied and personally experimented with nutritional supplementation for over 20 years. Although I completed a PhD in nutritional science just recently, I believe that my own trials and the eventual success with my personal well-being has provided me with the greatest knowledge.

Having taken over a failing family import/wholesale business in Japan at age 25, its rigorous demands resulted in a destroyed state of health by age 32. At that time I was always tired, especially exhausted in the mornings, easily fell ill to cold and flu, and required a major amount of caffeine to get through the day. I had been faithfully taking various vitamin and mineral supplements, including many considered cutting-edge at the time, but none alleviated my condition. My 4 days per week at the gym seemed only to add to the need to nap. I even went to hospital twice during this period to have full, comprehensive physicals, fearing that I must have something terrible to feel so fatigued. When doctors too were unable to shed any useful light, I finally took the matter in my own hands.

After selling my business and moving the family to Hawaii, I discovered the tremendous benefits of dehydrated “green foods.” Within three months of religiously drinking 5-6 grams with water every morning, I began to notice a change: I felt great upon waking in the morning and no longer needed the coffee to get through the day. My skin even gained a renewed, youthful colour and glow. With this life-changing experience I began my quest, which continues to this day, to discover the innate powers of dehydrated whole foods and their specific benefit in an anti-ageing program of nutrition and exercise.

Now, having gained the first-hand knowledge that you never have to look or feel your age, I focus on pure, chemical-free ingredients from whole foods that have a broad nutrient spectrum and high antioxidant activity. After all, ageing is a process of decay, primarily due to free radical damage; and, although this can never be completed eliminated, the process can be slowed considerably by a diet rich in bio-available antioxidants. As I continue my search for only pure products from around the world, I hope that you will find your own oasis of relief and recovery at onlypureproducts.com. Thank you for your belief in a purer you and a cleaner and kinder planet.

Did you know that if you are suffering from chronic high blood cholesterol, it is necessary to find ways to lower inflammation in your body.  Daily intake of dietary antioxidants, i.e. berries and dark-pigmented vegetables, can be beneficial.

Did you know that toothpaste contains dangerous chemicals.  Make your own safe version at home with baking soda, pinch of sea salt, few drops of tea tree oil, and flavoured with peppermint or other essential oil.

Did you know that weight-training is more effective than the treadmill for weight control and anti-ageing benefits.  Weight-training increases muscle mass, which in turn improves your metabolism, leading to an increase in calories used every minute of the day.

Drinking milk does not help prevent osteoporosis.  Eating plenty of alkaline foods, like green leafy vegetables and tofu, is more beneficial.
Sugar is a favourite food of cancer cells, helping them grow even more rapidly. Limit your daily sugar intake.
Combining caffeine and sugar leads to an increase of fats in your bloodstream.  Think twice before eating that coffee and bagel or toast.
