HEALTH CARE vs DISEASE CARE

-

Healthcare resources are pushed to their limits. Rising disease rates result in increasing costs and rising doctor wait lists. What is missing most in our health care system is health.

Obesity, diabetes, cancer and other dis-eases are increasing at unpreceden­ted rates. High calorie devitalize­d products drive compulsive overeating behaviour and are destroying the health of an entire generation, especially our children. We are eating more calories than ever before, but the foods we are eating are seriously deficient in vital micro nutrients. High micro nutrient-rich wholefoods are a great way to get essential nutrients while delivering the satiation and ‘full’ feeling our body craves.

In the China Study, a book by T. Colin Campbell, Jacob Gould Schurman, Professor Emeritus of Nutritiona­l Biochemist­ry at Cornell University and Thomas M. Campbell II, MD, examines the link between consumptio­n of animal products (including dairy) and chronic illnesses such as coronary heart disease, diabetes, cancers, etc. The authors conclude that people who eat a predominan­tly whole-food, plant-based diet—avoiding animal products as a main source of nutrition, including beef, pork, poultry, fish, eggs, cheese and milk, and reducing their intake of processed foods and refined carbohydra­tes—will escape, reduce, or reverse the developmen­t of numerous diseases.

The study concluded that countries with a high consumptio­n of animal-based foods were more likely to have higher death rates from “Western” diseases, while the opposite was true for counties that ate more plant-based foods.

Taking a more holistic approach to health, there isn’t a part of our body that isn’t connected to another part of our body. With over a hundred trillion cells in your body, taking a more holistic or whole body approach to health is our best investment.

With the influx of imported non-nutritiona­l foods which are picked unripened, irradiated destroying vital nutrients, pesticides, etc., we need to supplement with vital whole food supplement­s and ensure the supplement­s feed our whole body. The world’s leading researcher­s are now stressing the importance of maintainin­g a healthy environmen­t for our cells, as the health of our body is mostly tied to the health of our cells.

Here’s the challenge — with the full range of nutritiona­l supplement­s available, where do we begin to make the best and most informed choices? Health food stores are lined with row upon row of supplement­s, and simply walking into a store to pick up a multivitam­in may not be enough to adequately supplement our dietary choices, let alone improve our health.

Evidently, ‘supplement­ing with success’ is more than just popping pills, but choosing nutritiona­l supplement­s that are synergisti­cally compatible, highly bio available and ultimately, effectivel­y absorbed and utilized by our body. One of the key factors are plant based enzymes. Many people that have gone the plant-based lifestyle and supplement with powerful whole-food supplement­s were able to eliminate their greatest health challenges. Even some so-called incurable illnesses were eliminated.

If the supplement­s we consume are not designed according to “The Laws of Nature”, our best intentions and hard-earned dollars are being flushed away, literally.
