Have you ever wondered why it's healthier to eat unrefined foods?
There is a very simple answer to this question. When we eat our digestive system breaks down the food and liquids in order to extract nutrients along with protein, fats, carbohydrates, minerals and many other elements. If the food you eat is lacking in many of these elements the body will eventually be starving for the essential nutrients it needs to function properly and depriving the body of the essential nutrition leads to many different disturbances in the life process and could very well show up as conditions such as decreased eye site, bad circulation, aching joints, skin blemishes, heart disease, cancer and numerous others. The best prevention is to feed your body what is essential for life, and wellbeing.
We also need the required nutrition to feed and bolster our immune system which job it is to protect us from invaders. By invaders I mean anything that isn't nourishing and helpful in the upkeep and running of our incredible machines, the body. Common invaders are things such as parasites, bacteria, viruses, toxins, and any manmade chemicals not welcome in our bodies. With modern science and the invention of thousands of so called wonderful chemicals we as humans are exposed to toxic chemicals every day of our lives. This is all in the name of convenience to the consumer and making money for large business.
Refined foods may have vitamins and minerals added to the product, but again they are manmade chemicals and of little health value to anyone. Some scientists and doctors will tell you there is no different between manmade vitamins and nutrients than natural organic products. That's like saying science can produce anything that is made by nature. Yes it can be duplicated to some degree but it can never replace the quality of what is produced naturally.
Why is disease so rampant in the U.S. and most all of the world today more than ever? Why are there new diseases that no one ever heard of before and some that have become what seems like epidemics such as childhood Autism and Alzheimer's disease?
Could it be this is being brought on by toxic chemicals? A recent news announcement revealed that there is an investigation going on that Autism could be caused by the chemicals used in the lining of cans containing infant formula. Of course the companies producing the formula or the containers don't want this news to get out. That's a great example of nature verses manmade. Simply research the health benefits of the milk from nursing mothers verses manmade formulas. If your doctor tells you there is no difference get another doctor.
Even as far back as John D. Rockefeller they knew the benefits of breast milk. I read that Rockefeller hired many wet nurses to provide breast milk to help keep him alive when he became very old and ill.
The best health remedy is prevention. You might have heard the adage "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Nothing could be more truthful. Also "we are what we eat." Remember that the next time you chow down on refined food and fast food.
One more point, do you realize that white flour, white rice, white sugar and many other food components are bleached because it destroys and extracts the nutrients and other healthy elements so that almost nothing will invade these products. This is the wonderful scientific discovery for preserving food by bleaching and began without the concern of destroying the nutritional value of food and also added toxins in the form of bleach which has three know carcinogens, which are proven to cause cancer.
Retired and living in Costa Rica it is very easy and reasonable way for me to eat a diet of live food, including organic as much as possible, food that is produced without the use of manmade chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The over all cost of living here is a fraction of the U.S. and the climate is the greatest in the world. This is a great way to start and stay on a prevention program.
