Have you wondered why the sudden increase in metabolic diseases and cancers?
Have you wondered why it is that the wealthiest nation in the world has more than 80% of its children suffering from obesity and altuism?
And does it bother you that the wealthier a people get the less fertile they become?
All these health problems are traceable to only one thing: OUR MODERN REFINED FOODS!
We are now mostly eating junks instead of food; we add all sorts of chemicals to our food to make them look better, taste better, and cook easier …all at the detriment of our health!
A research recently concluded in its findings that an average person now consumes an average of 25 different chemicals per day. Imagine the overwhelming effects of these additive chemicals on our digestive system, immune system, and the excretory systems. Little wonder we have more kidney and liver failures compared with our forefathers despite our advanced technology!
Some may delude themselves by saying that even the food harvested from the earth are made up of chemicals. That is true, but these chemicals are put together in particular ratios by Mother Nature, and that is why our digestive system easily recognizes them and knows exactly what to do with them. The additive chemicals are NOT recognized by any of our body systems,and so they just keep accumulating inside our bodies until they totally overwhelm the systems.
Let us take a closer look at some of those chemicals in our so called ‘foods ‘:
If you look at the ingredients label for a packaged food, chances are that you won’t have a clue what some of the ingredients are or be able to pronounce them. That’s because these ingredients aren’t food, they are chemicals that are added for various purposes like:
Preservatives: Chemicals that prevent the food from rotting.
Colorants: Chemicals that are used to give the food a specific color.
Flavor: Chemicals that give the food a particular flavor.
Texturants: Chemicals that give a particular texture.
You also need to keep in mind when you tackle that ingredient label on the back of your foods, that processed foods can contain dozens of additional chemicals that are not even listed. I hate to break this to you, but when you see “ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR” that is a combination of chemicals, and manufacturers don’t have to disclose exactly what they are. This could mean that there are 10 or more chemicals blended together to give a specific flavor.
A few days back we noticed that our youngest child,who gets to be just 4 years old this February was getting restless and cried for no reasons we could decipher. Also we noticed that he wasn’t eating well and salivated a little more than normal. Fortunately mummy was able to link the onset of these symptoms to when the boy started taking a particular brand of expensive CORN FLAKES which was part of a hamper given to the family during the Christmas period. She stopped giving him the FLAKES immediately and within 24 hours all the symptoms vanished.
Now imagine the fate of a child whose mother isn’t a nurse and whose father isn’t a practicing Naturopath !
Let us eat more wholesome foods, remember, our body becomes what we eat.
