Allergy - Hypersensitivity - Intolerance

 

Read the article > What are Allergies

 

For the past two hundred years, industry has evolved so fast that our bodies have not had the time to develop defences against many of its by-products, resulting in a world that is toxic to the human organism.

 

The food we eat today is grown in depleted soils, sprayed with dangerous pesticides, then processed and laden with chemical additives and preservatives.

 

Even our drinking water is treated with chemicals. (Have you ever wondered what effect chlorine has on the beneficial bacteria in your gut? Indigestion, anyone?) see here for Pure Water

 

 

The good news is that while it is nearly impossible to avoid all the environmental pollutants, chemical additives and radiation of the modern world, we don't have to put up with the poor health that results from them.

 

We do have a choice, even if it may seem limited. For example, if you go shopping, make sure you read the labels, and don't buy anything with anything artificial (any number). Select your food wisely, if you can afford it, buy organic fresh food. Frozen foods are usually a better choice than refined packaged foods.

 

Do we really have to eat all the junk which is offered in bright coloured packages in opportunistic shelf spacing? Don't get side-track, don't shop while you are hungry or thirsty. I haven't worked out the percentage, but I think most food items in a shopping centre are not essential, and are just there to make more profit for some companies. Don't get sucked into that, buy what is good and nutritious, not what is laden with salt, sugar and lots of artificial additives.

 

It's no wonder people are overweight or have allergies or food sensitivities, the temptation of marketing and advertising is too overwhelming, and our systems can't adapt to the onslaught of chemicals and de-natured food.

 

One has to ask, where is the integrity in food production?
