The Birth of the Fridge
If you're over the age of 30, think back when you were at school. How many of your friends had allergies, how many had asthma, how many were over weight? Not that many if you can remember one at all. So what's changed?
Well two things immediately come to mind.
One - Environmental toxins in the form of heavy metals and pesticides.
Two - The Birth of the Fridge!
And you would probably answer, "the heavy metals and pesticides I can understand but the fridge! The fridge has been around for more than 30 years." But what hasn't been around for that long is what we put into the fridge.
You see 50 years ago - 100 years ago we ate lots food grown in our own gardens (pesticide free). And we couldn't slaughter a cow, sheep, or pig every day. For one, how do you store it and secondly, how do you eat that much flesh?
In a nut shell, people in today's world are eating too much refined foods (grown with too many pesticides in mineral deficient soils) and too much meat. Let's take the meat bit for example. Before the fridge came about the only way you could store meat was to salt it. Beef jerky etc. If you've ever tasted beef jerky you would know that beef jerky doesn't taste that good (you wouldn't want to eat it everyday). But what was good about the beef jerky was the way it was preserved. It was preserved with unrefined salt.
One of the main reasons our diet is having such a detrimental effect on the vitality and health of the modern day human body is unfortunately, the by product of eating too much meat. This by product is the accumulation of acids; but when you include unrefined salt with the meat (such as the beef jerky), the salt helps the body maintain a healthy alkaline state. You see sodium, calcium, phosphorous, magnesium are all alkaline buffers. No salts - the body doesn't get its alkaline buffers and becomes more acidic. And as a result of this acidic build up, the body goes into survival mode. What does the body do when it goes into survival mode?
The body must create fat to store the acidic and toxic build up. The simplistic reason for this is the body must protect the vital organs! The vital organs cannot deal with poisons, they have enough work to do keeping the body vital. So what to do about it?
First of all have a read of Thinking Vitality - Think COWS.

Then test your pH levels.

Then check the water you drink. Check the tap water. Check the water that comes out of your filter. Check the bottled water you drink. How acidic is it really?

And most definately, CLEAR YOUR BODY OF HEAVY METALS AND TOXINS. No matter what supplements or nutrition you give your body, if the body is poisoned, you must remove the poisons to get the benefits of your supplements and nutrition.

As usual, the only thing stopping vitality and health in your life is what you do about it.
