Is
Health a Hot Topic?
Issues surrounding health are hot topics. Every
newscast, newspaper and magazine contains “vital
information that you must know”.
Between the
infomercials and radio talk shows, the typical American
should be well informed and in control.
We decided to
interview a fictional typical American. Following, is
the transcript of that interview.
|
|
Typical
American asks: “What
do I need to do to feel better?”
Answer:
That is an easy question to answer.
TA:
“OK, big shot, what makes you such a know it all?”
Answer: I don’t
need to know it all, I just need to know one thing -
what the typical American is eating.
Everything, in the typical American diet, is backwards: red meat and other
fatty foods take the forefront, while fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are
pushed aside.
In addition to fat and calories, the Western diet is loaded with
salt, and sugar. If that weren't bad enough, it's critically short on dietary
fiber and many nutrients.
Add more than 170,000 fast-food restaurants and 3 million soft-drink vending
machines spread across the country, huge doses of calories are never far away,
and the picture is pretty clear.
TA:
“That’s not me. I have a healthy diet.”
Answer: Sure you
do.
The typical American diet consists of products, processed, preserved and
packaged, that companies promote through media advertising and price.
The objective is to create brand recognition and consumer loyalty. The fact that
you are eating these products is simply a feature of the market segment in which
these companies compete.
When you purchase canned food, frozen food, fast food
or packaged meals, you are part of a market share created by packaging,
advertising, price and perceived convenience.
So, save your breath because you
are only kidding yourself.
TA:
My fill in the blank (Grandfather, Grandmother) was 90 (something) before
they died, so I’m not worried.
Answer: The
super market, preservatives and consumer-level refrigeration are all a post
World War II phenomena. So of course they lived a long time.
Their generation consumed food that was in season and produced locally.
Plus, they didn’t have refrigeration or chemical preservatives so, they shopped
frequently because the food would spoil if they bought too much.
Your grandparents either lived on a farm, eating the food grown in their garden, or
purchased food from a local butcher, baker, fish monger, dairy and a fresh
produce cart or market. These vendors earned their living selling seasonal
food, grown on their farms or by local producers with care and pride. If their
food wasn’t up to snuff - their customers knew it and told them so - they had a
vested interested in quality and keeping their customers happy.
Those vendors
didn’t rely on slogans – they delivered the goods or perished.
TA:
Ok big shot, why are all the experts predicting I will live longer than my parents?
Answer: When
will you ask a hard question? You live in a safer world.
All you need to do is
go to a museum and look at the tools and machinery your grandparents were
using. Then, take a tour of a cemetery. Wars, accidents and infections killed
people.
Anti
biotic medications, a safer world and work place are also part of the post World
War II phenomena we talked about earlier.
In fact, those same experts you are
quoting are predicting that you are raising the first generation that, in all
probably, won’t live as long as you. These same experts are noting that your
generation will spend more money on “health care” and suffer longer than any
preceding modern generation.
Why do you think your health insurance bill is
going through the roof?
Oh, by the way, have you looked into the newest
advancement - long-term care - yet?
TA:
That’s not funny!
Answer: No, it
isn’t, but it makes you think doesn’t it?
TA:
So what, do you want me to buy your magic pill?
Answer: Well, no. That kind of thinking is just another trap.
What I want you
to do is to pull your head out of the sand. I want you to get it.
The
problem is the “wisdom of the day” is a moving target. It changes
every time you turn on the TV, read the paper or buy a new book.
Some
truths are ageless and will never change.
What you are consuming has a direct effect on your health which, of course, is
no news to you.
And, if you were to say that when the Father of Modern
Medicine,
Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.), made that statement, “Let thy food be thy
medicine and thy medicine be thy food.”, there wasn’t the problem of
preservatives, food dyes and chemicals that plague our modern diet - you would
also be right.
The things you do occasionally won’t harm you, it is what you do everyday
that helps you.
TA: Stop confusing me with facts.
What do you want me to do?
Answer:
-
Take responsibility for you own wellbeing
because you have the most to lose.
-
Trust the
source of the information you are getting. Most of the reports you hear or read
about some “new “ miracle are sensationalized.
-
Familiarize yourself with dietary recommendations regarding what you should be eating to stay healthy. I recommend two sources:
Harvard University School of Public Health and the
University of Michigan Integrative Medicine
Department.
-
Review your current diet to
determine the changes that you can practically make in your dietary habits. It
is a fools mission to make big promises that you can’t or won’t be able to keep
– so don’t.
If you
have done your homework, you will have a pretty good picture of what you are
doing to yourself.
If I
were going through this process I would:
-
Make the
changes in my diet.
(Remember: there is a direct correlation between the recommendations put forth
by
Harvard or the
University of Michigan and the amount of supplements it will take to fill
the gap in the diet.)
-
Add supplement(s) to fill
the gap between what I was eating and what I should be consuming to stay
healthy. At a minimum, I would compensate for the food preservatives and
additives that pollute my body and interfere with digestion with a
trace mineral supplement and an
enzyme complex.
-
Start slowly (unless I had neglected my diet for 5 years or more).
TA:
You still haven’t told me what to do.
Answer: Watch
out! You’re falling into that trap - again.
This is your deal.
But, I
will tell you what I do.
First, I know that most fruits and vegetables are
grown on farmland that is lacking in more than a few trace minerals. I would
take a trace mineral supplement and see how it goes. I would expect to
experience a difference in the 1st week.
Since most of the food I
eat is cooked - and, I know cooking damages or destroys the raw food enzymes my
body uses to make all the other enzymes that make my body work - I take an
enzyme complex supplement with every meal.
Also, I take a probiotic supplement,
before bed, to keep my digestion in tip-top shape.
I’m pretty careful about my diet so,
my supplements cost about $2.00 a day. I think that is a good investment.
Your investment is probably going to be different because you live your life
differently than I.
If you have done your homework, you can make decisions for yourself. In the end, you
must take control of managing your health or you will be forced to deal with the
consequences.
There
is one final thing I want you to think about.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting that something
will change.
The
lesson is – it’s your life, it is your choice. If you want to change the
way things are, you must
change the things you do.
|
|
To change the way things are,
you must change the things you do. |
|
Everyone will have a gap in their diet, so don’t despair if you can’t
eat everything you need to become and stay healthy. Simply fill the gap in
your diet with a well designed nutraceutical program.
Remember, it is not what you do occasionally that damages your health, it is what you do everyday. Eat whole foods, drink clean water and use
a nutraceutical supplement to sustain your healthy body.
