Health Creation

What creates health?

• in the 21 century a healthy life takes more than just a good diet
• an active lifestyle
• a positive attitude
• a clean and safe environment

What undermines health?

• Under-nutrition: poor cooking, storage, old food, refined and processed foods, dietary excess fat, salt, sugar, overeating
• Water and food contaminants: pesticides, heavy metals
• Environmental pollution and chemicals
• Radiation: microwaves, mobiles, computers, phone towers
• Drugs: pharmaceutical and recreational, tea, coffee
• Stress; mental and physical
• Sedentary lifestyle

Survival in the 21 century

• food: organic, fresh, whole food, lightly cooked
• lots of veg and fruit, in season
• fresh juices: vitamins and enzymes
• enzymes are catalysts for chemical changes, building and breaking down cells and cell products. Enzymes are important for digestion and many other functions in the body, helpful for allergies and poorly tolerated foods.

Enzymes will help chronic conditions

Plant extracts have be found to contain many forms of enzymes including ones which inhibit cancer.

Clean pure water 8 glasses a day

Contaminants of water:

Nitrites from fertilisers can from nitrosamines, powerful carcinogens

Pesticides and industry effluent: effects on animal and human reproductive systems

Sodium fluoride: may influence cancer, genetic mutations, long term effects on the immune system and enzyme production, bone and teeth damage. Toxic effects are cumulative, its used as an insecticide for insects and cockroaches by inhibiting enzymes that produce energy. The same rate of improvement in tooth decay has been seen in fluoridated and non fluoridated water areas.

Chlorine is an antibacterial additive but does not kill giardia, cryptosporidium or the hepatitis or polio virus. Chlorine effectively destroys vitamins  E, C, A and selenium in the body, linked to cancer, CFS, asthma. A report published in the Australian Journal of Public Health in 1995 confirmed a link between chlorinated tap water and 10-15% of bladder cancers each year.

Aluminium binds soil particles, clarifying water. Linked to Alzheimer’s, cancer, downs syndrome and muscular dystrophy. Dissolved aluminium is the most toxic and bio-available form for humans.

Rain water dissolves radioactive isotopes and exhaust fumes from polluted air.

Regular exercise 1/2 hour to hour minimum 3 times a week

To improve:

• circulation
• energy and motivation
• cardiovascular health
• weight management

A health promoting attitude

Positivity, open-mindedness, generosity, spiritual connection, forgiveness, challenges create accelerated learning experiences.

Supplement you diet with extra anti-oxidants, essential minerals and fatty acids

Why?: poor nutrient content in food due to depleted soils, long storage, over cooking, poor digestion habits, extra nutrition is required to combat chemicals, pollution or air water and food, drugs and stress

What makes a good supplement?

• synergistic antioxidants, (those that work together)
• non competitive minerals (iron, zinc)
• bio-available form,
• extracted from natural materials,
• guarantee it is what is says on the label

Summary

• We need to address the whole picture, i.e. an holistic approach which is more than just popping some pills.
   
• Good health is the synergy of good food, good nutrition, pure water, correct enzyme balance, exercise and a positive attitude
   
• While minimising exposure to harmful influences such as chemicals, drugs, radiation, excess stress. Literally, while helping ourselves to better health... we are also making the choices for a healthierplanet.
