Diet is more important now than ever in History.
Diet is more important now than ever in history because of the contaminants in our food and environment.
We are exposed to radiation from many sources including nuclear accidents as well as minor day to day exposure from cell phone towers, microwaves, and household electronics.
Our air has industrial contaminants as well as incidental shedding form building material and furniture.
Our water, though cleaned and filtered still retains residue of medications and industrial waste as well as added chemicals like chlorine and fluoride.
Our food is exposed to contaminants from the air and water. The crops are sprayed with insecticides, herbicides etc. The plants themselves are altered genetically.
The food sold in the stores is full of chemicals that our bodies weren’t designed to consume. Some of it has the nutritious part removed and artificial nutrients added.
Our bodies filter out contaminates by various means including our kidneys and liver. As awesome as they are, they have their limits and can be overwhelmed.
All these things considered we need to do several things to help insure health.
We need to limit our exposure to harmful and potentially harmful substances. We need to enhance our body’s ability to protect us from our environment.
Eating an optimal diet is the best way to equip our bodies for our modern world. If given the right fuel and other material it can do a reasonable job of protecting itself.
By eating low calorie, micronutrient dense foods we will provide our bodies with what it needs to mount an adequate defense against the multidimensional assault it has to deal with.
