"Pollution, stress, fatigue and bad eating habits all affect the
body."
Comparisons of
population groups shows a close relationship between the adoption of the
affluent diet and the emergence of a range of chronic, non-infectious diseases,
such as coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, various cancers,
diabetes mellitus, gallstones, dental caries (cavities), gastrointestinal
disorders, and various bone and joint diseases (World Health Organization,
1990)
Environmental changes
that have lead to an increase in depletion of minerals and other inorganic
compounds from our food. The 1997 edition of Food Composition Handbook shows a
25% decline in the vitamin and mineral content of foods since the last survey
done in 1975.
Most of the soil has deteriorated to the
extent that without fertilizer nothing will grow properly. The plants are sick
and, as a result, are attacked by insects and disease. Chemicals like
fertilizers, herbicides, hormones and pesticides used to correct the
situation. However both the animals as humans using this low quality type food can get affected by it.
Your body need nutrients not for the production of energy only but high
quality nutrients of different origin, for body cell replacement, growth, the formation of healthy cell membranes,
for proper brain and nervous function, and for the production of chemicals that
regulate functions such as blood pressure, blood viscosity, constriction of
blood vessels, and immune and inflammatory responses.
Ill health can
be brought about by an imbalance of nutrients, producing either an excess or
deficiency which in turn affects body functioning in a cumulative manner.
Pollutants and
toxins, act like microscopic buzz-bombs in the body, and unless neutralized
they wreak havoc with cellular material including the delicate DNA molecules
responsible for normal cellular reproduction.
Main problem; the food processing industry is a major part of modern
economy, and as such it is very influential in political decisions (e.g.
nutritional recommendations, agricultural subsidising).There is the meat lobby,
diary lobby, the food processors, the GM lobby. In any known profit-driven
economy, health considerations are hardly a priority; effective production of
cheap foods with a long shelf-life is the trend.
Everbody who does have a garden
knowns how much time is needed to do it. The introduction of short-cuts to
reduce the time spent likely. In
general, whole, fresh foods have a relatively short shelf-life and are less
profitable to produce and sell than are more processed foods. Because processed
foods are offered cheaper, more convenient (in both purchasing, storage, and preparation),
and more available, the consumption of nutritionally inferior foods has been steadily increasing throughout the world along with many nutrition-related health
complications.
Lifestyle- and
obesity-related diseases are now becoming increasingly prevalent all around the
world affecting millions and millions of people. The result of a bodily response to changes in food and lifestyle. A man-made and created problem & calamity. |

One aspect many people are unaware of is that, because it is so powerful, money is addictive just like coke, heroin or crack and some people will never will get enough of it. Because it is so addictive a lot of people are prepared to cheat, lie, manipulate, betray, and some of them are even prepared to kill for it.
In general, money affects the relations between people in a very negative way which is built on exploitation instead of love. It hardens society, increases aggression and leads to violence.
People are not born to be exploited, but to learn, have fun, make meaningful contributions to other people’s lives, to explore, and develop themselves. You cannot, nor should you try to abuse their right, as fellow humans for your own purposes, to get yourself rich, to let them do your work.
And nobody, absolutely nobody has the right to poison air, water, land or sea for profit. These things are our heritage and they belong to us all. |
