Ive always considered myself as health conscious even when I was in my 20’s, I did go out for a beer or two with a friend or my favorite brother, but I knew about supplementing my diet with vitamins and nutrients. However, what I knew then compared to what I know now is like the difference between chalk and cheese.
I think like most people in the western world our opinions are dramatically influenced by the plethora of advertising that constantly bombards our senses either from billboards, magazine’s radio and of course the daddy of them all TV.
Over the past 7 years especially during my time with Dr.Huggins in Colorado my whole mindset changed, I realised that the majority of foods sold in supermarkets have been through a process, this is widely known as refining in preparation for human consumption. what is really happening is that it’s basically making it more profitable by denaturing it and combining it with less nutritious components, not food.
Flour for instance has been bleached removing 90% of the nutrition and ensuring it can live in your cupboards for month’s. Cereals in general are advertised and promoted as healthy for kids, when in reality they are as nutritious as the box it came in and worse because they are laden with sugar the most TOXIC foodstuff known to man.
This makes it very difficult to buy food that’s actually healthy, there was a time when food was natural… now it’s synthetic or at least synthetically modified or made from GMO grains. The genetically modified organisms have been altered in the laboratory so that its bigger, uniform in shape and composition and…and with a built-in insect repellant. So what do you think it does to humans? hmmm.
It’s sad to think that there was a time when all food was natural and most people were healthy, kids played out in the streets not in their bedroom, in the dark on their Xbox or pc or smartphone texting.
Life as we know it hasn’t progressed in a positive way, it’s moved into a different paradigm of plastic food and electronic unsociable games, where food has little or no nutrition. Where it’s acceptable to be sick and to take a pill or in the US to take a handful of pills.
Statistically the population of the western world is unhealthier and heavier than at anytime in “mans” existence, and the saddest thing is that we have accepted it without question.
A common statement is that someone will say that a parent died of cancer or some other incurable disease and then say that it wouldn’t surprise them if they also died of it declaring its hereditary.
It’s not hereditary, it isn’t contracted by coming into contact with someone or swapping bodily fluids. We all have cancer cells in our body, it develops and grows by putting the wrong food (plastic, synthesized and sugar) in our body.
I’m not declaring that I know everything, I’m not saying I know how to cure cancer and please accept my apologies if you’ve lost someone to that hideous disease. What I am saying is that being natural, eating natural unprocessed foods and avoiding sugar will help you and your kids to live a healthy life.
