True health, with full body, organ, and glandular functioning is so rare that we mistake the absence of disease for health. In order to set goals to work toward true health, we have to first understand how we got where we are. Here are the main factors causing widespread health deterioration:
1. Unnatural nutrition: Over processed, prepackaged food that has been stripped of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. Genetically modified food, junk food, and sugar- laden food. Excessive carbohydrate intake, poor intake of vegetables.
2. Chemical exposure: Pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, food additives, water and air pollution, plastics and other synthetic materials, and even a buildup of medical drugs in the system.
3. Heavy metal exposure: Mercury, aluminum, nickel, cadmium, lead, arsenic. A buildup of excessive iron or copper can also be harmful.
3. Exercise: Lack of sufficient physical activity or excessive exercise without sufficient balance of mental exercise/ parasympathetic activities (meditation, yoga, qi-gong, foot massage, spinal twists).
4. Harmful negative feelings and emotions: Resentment, fear, discontent, greed, envy, and lack of positive feelings and emotions, such as gratitude, devotion, contentment, joy, unselfish love. Inability to forgive others and self and a lack of spirituality is also associated.
7. Inherited genetic problems: Transgenerational epigenetic inheritance suggests experiences and environmental exposures (toxins, chemicals) can change the way DNA works (without changing the DNA itself) and this is passed on to future generations.
Many of these unhealthy habits have been learned from society. Due to ignorance and habit, we select the wrong foods. Out of laziness, we do not exercise. From a lack of patience and self-control, we create harmful, negative feelings. What is worse, these poor decisions can affect the health of our grandchildren. However, just as poor lifestyle choices activate genetic insufficiencies; a healthy lifestyle with adequate nutrition can correct the deterioration and take us back on a path to true health.
