If you look at the health and longevity of ordinary people from any developed country, statistics are very frustrating in terms of health. Obesity, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis and depression are present in the proportion of epidemics and are growing. Modern medicine and medicine make people live longer, but completely preventable diseases can greatly reduce their quality of life.

I heard people talking about their health problems at work, in cafes, at parties, and they almost tried to surpass each other with their healthy horror stories. Everyone over the age of 40 seems to be taking certain drugs. So if you don't want it to be you, if you want to be healthier after your 100th birthday, then you need to do things differently.

"But can you enjoy life?" you asked. “I can't enjoy eating my favorite food or having a drink.” Rest assured, you can choose from many delicious foods. However, so far, after you have eaten highly processed foods containing chemicals throughout your life, your taste buds may not be able to appreciate all the natural foods needed for optimal health. So I will ask you, “Does your life enjoyment depends entirely on diet?” “What else do you like and enjoy in your life, what do you miss if you are already dead or have to endure chronic diseases?”

As human beings, we are all governed by the laws of nature. Human beings are no higher than the laws of nature that govern the universe and the earth. We make choices every day, and these choices have consequences. We accept this completely in other aspects of life, such as our acceptance of the law of universal gravitation. Gravity applies to every species on the planet. It doesn't care if you know, even if you believe it. Either way, if you jump off the cliff, you will end up in the bottom of the chaos. However, in our health field, we seem to think that we can “cheat”. We feel that we should eat sausages, hamburgers and bacon every day because we like them very much and have no heart disease in the 50s and 60s. It just doesn't work. If you choose to eat these foods, the consequences will be heart disease [or diabetes, or cancer].

Because we want to continue to eat these foods, we like it very much, we wait for the consequences to appear and go to our doctor. What we want now is the magic of medicine. We want doctors to create a magical pill that will eliminate the unpleasant symptoms we are experiencing, while letting us continue to do everything we have been doing and get ourselves into trouble. This sounds very good in theory. In fact, if it works, it will be a concept that I really can accept. Unfortunately, all drugs address these symptoms, not the root cause of our lack of health, and they all have side effects.

Imagine – during heavy rain, water begins to leak from the ceiling [symptoms]. So the next day you paint with a waterproof coating [magic pill]. The next time the rain falls, the original area of ​​the leak is dry, but your ceiling begins to leak in the ring around the original leak [side effects]. When our roof leaks, we will never be so easily deceived. We all look for the cause of the leak and repair the hole in the roof.

Some people consciously choose to live and eat what they want, endure less than ideal health and longevity. In terms of nutrition and health, others never want to question their situation. They walk along the coast and take the path of least resistance. However, our bodies are designed to never get sick and always work flawlessly. Any form of illness, obesity or poor health is unnatural. Our goal is slim, healthy, active, energetic and energetic, over 100 years old.

Others are so passionate about life that they are prepared to be responsible for their own health and to do things in different ways to achieve different results. These people have a lot of life they want, and the average life expectancy seems too short. They see that poor health can slow them down and prevent them from enjoying life.

It really depends on what you are prepared for.

If you are a person who doesn't want to be content with the health, energy and longevity of mediocrity, or even if you just want to see a small improvement, what different things can you do?

The answer sounds almost too simple, but for many people it can be very difficult to implement. If you want to live longer, healthier, prevent disease or treat chronic diseases, the most powerful nutritional measures you can take are eating raw, organic, whole fruits, vegetables and nuts, and eliminating meat, dairy products and animals. Products, processed foods and additives. It's really simple and hard.

So if this is really our body's need for optimal health, why is it so difficult? Why do we long for french fries, coffee, chocolate cakes and fried chicken? Cooked processed foods are more addictive than heroin and are considered normal in our society. Every time we enter every store, every friend we visit, and every time we turn on the TV, we are often tempted. We are emotionally attached to them because they have been our comfort food since childhood.

Although the road to optimal health is difficult and steep, it is worth the effort. Remember, nothing is worth it. Know that you deserve to work hard. Educate yourself, read things that keep you motivated and inspired, get support from friends or professionals, and if you fall down – stand up again and keep working hard. You are responsible for your best health.
