Disease is not normal!
Unless you live under a rock, you
see illness and disease everywhere. I
think it is so prevalent today that our society accepts it as normal; well I
will rock the boat and claim it is far from normal. As a society, we should be very
concerned about the rampant rise of chronic illness and disease.
Now I am not a doctor and have no
formal medical training, I will just take the approach of common sense and the
results I have seen in my own life. I believe that almost all
disease (especially chronic) can be traced back to our diet and
lifestyle. We have become a
society of the pill, the cure or a fix in a bottle. Well the cure in a bottle is a
deception, it is not a cure, and it is just a clever assembly of chemicals to
mask, hide or trick the body. Why
do you thinking there do are so many side effects, when we change one thing
with chemicals we then have other side effects.
Here are some basics – high
cholesterol has the largest impact to our heart and arteries. Bad cholesterol comes from animal
products – period! The less
animal products you eat the better your cholesterol will be. This is meat of any kind (including
eggs) and dairy products like milk and cheese. Many people do not know this – we mask
these products as being good for us but it is a lie. Anything you think you need to get
from animal products can be found by eating the right mix of fruits, vegetables
and seeds.
Protein - the big challenge! You can get all the protein you need
from nuts, seeds, green leafy vegetables and so many other things. Over eating protein is actually a bad
thing, it takes the body a tremendous amount of energy and resources to expel
all the excess protein many people eat.
Our food is like fuel for our
cars. If your car breaks
down from bad gas or putting water it the tank, do we blame the engine (our
bodies) or do we look at what we are putting in our cars like the fuel, i.e.
our food!
Our bodies are very resilient and
can make miraculous improvements if given the right food. Why not look at only eating the foods
God gave us in nature, like fruit, vegetables, nuts & seeds?
When we accept cancer, heart
disease, high blood pressure, headaches, or whatever as a part of life or
normal then we will not seek the truth. The
truth can be found by looking at non-western cultures, their diets and much
lower disease rates. They
live much healthier lives than we do!
We are bombarded with messages of
how meat and dairy are required to sustain us and are good for us. This is a lie – we do not have to
consume these products to be healthy. Look
at the source of those messages and their advertising, it comes from the
industries that produce these products and give millions of dollars to
Washington to help their cause.
If we can make the correlation of
smoking to lung cancer then why do we refuse to see that other illness like
cancers, heart disease, arthritis etc. comes from our diets!
If you want to see the facts,
review the data and become a much healthier you then I encourage you to check
it out for yourself. I have
and I am living proof that you can change who you are and how you feel!
