In today's world, it is more difficult then ever to maintain a truly healthy lifestyle. Our grains, vegetables and fruits are grown utilizing pesticides, herbicides, fungicide, preservatives, and are grown in nutrient deficient soils. Farmed raised animals and fish are administered antibiotics, growth hormones, and are fed the previously mentioned contaminated grains. Our air and ground waters are polluted and municipal waters are likely chlorinated and fluoridated. Our homes are full of carcinogenic chemicals, molds, and all the of the outdoor pollutants that make their way in. These and many others are health concerns we live with each and every day.
Knowledge is a powerful tool in achieving a healthy lifestyle. Please visit the links to the left as they contain information that may help in forging a healthy lifestyle. You may notice that there is an underlying theme to all the links, and that is "Return to Nature". Essentially, processed, refined, genetically altered foods and chemical products are not harmonious with the body. Eating foods that have not been modified to extend the shelf life will require an alteration in ones daily habits, however, the benefits will far outweigh
any inconveniences. And living with natural products requires only a slight change in shopping discipline and more alertness to your surroundings.These two behavior modifications are truly the way to begin forging a healthy lifestyle.
UPDATE:
To achieve ultimate health, one needs to
remove the toxins/heavy metals from our surroundings and body,
properly supplement the body with clean nutritional food and water,
balance the body's energy, and perform mild exercise. Of these items,
the most important factor is nourishing the body with nutrients
that are required for properly functioning cells (the building blocks
of life). The body has a great propensity to take care of (heal)
when given the tools (nutrients) needed to work with. However, with
refined foods and compromised GI (digestion) tracks, it's nearly
impossible to fortify the body with the necessary nutrients
required for optimal health. To better understand these
principles, visit FoodMatters.TV. A panel of PhD's and nutritional
experts explain why nourishing the body is so critical in achieving
optimal health.
