Combating Chronic Disease

We are what we eat.
If we aren't eating 50% of our food from organic vegetable sources we are no doubt doing our bodies a disservice and lining ourselves up for a range of chronic diseases.
Raw vegetables and salads are what is required for your body to process and absorb the 'Vital Nutrients' that it needs. The enzymes, vitamins and minerals. Proteins, and meaning complete proteins can be taken from plant sources, such as Chia seeds etc, or combine to create complete proteins, with all the essential amino acids . We tend to over do it with protein thinking that its needed for our bodies for energy, but it takes a lot to digest it via the liver. Actual recommendations for the whole day is only 45 gms, and not three times a day, 45 gms is about half  the size of your palm. The body will use fruits and vegetables for energy much quicker than protein.
And water, lots of it. If you start the day with anything like 2 litres of water, you are going to hydrate, lose weight and feel amazing.
The Vital Nutrients is really the main items we should be putting into our mouths, as really all chronic disease is a build up of not feeding the body its requirements and excess of empty foods.
Feeding the body empty nutrients combined with poisoned environments, lack of exercise, not enough water, over 40 - 60 years = chronic disease.
Our immune system is designed to work perfectly well to fight off cell change and foriegn invaders, but mostly it is compromised by excess, then the environment with all its pollutants = immune system that is heavily overburdened and cant function effectively.
Toxins, excess fats, excess sugars are stored in the body as 'adipose tissue', in the cells of the body. Fat cells are cells.
Excess fats and sugars are stored for times of starvation, but we don't have that kind of situation anymore.
So due to our lovely lifestyles of having everything at our fingertips, and also lack of moving the body and building muscle, and also not enough water = overconsumption and storage of it all, and a slow killing of the body, as its functions are compromised.
How can we have an enjoyable lifetime if we don't give the body the building materials it needs?
Think of it as chronic malnutrition.

Endometriosis new findings

Dietary fats linked to endometriosis

|

Research based on the Nurses' Health Study II has shown that certain types of dietary fats may increase the risk of endometriosis, while other types are associated with a lower risk. The study analysed 12 years of data, which equated to 568,153 person-years. Nearly 1200 cases of diagnosed endometriosis occurred over this time.
The women who consumed the most long-chain omega-3 fatty acids were 22 per cent less likely to be diagnosed with endometriosis compared to the women who consumed the least. Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids are the "good" fats found in oily fish and are associated with maintaining cardiovascular health.
Conversely, those women who consumed the most trans-unsaturated fat were 48 per cent more likely to develop endometriosis than those who consumed the least. Trans-unsaturated fats are commonly found in deep-fried foods, some take-away foods and baked goods such as pastries, cakes and biscuits.
The authors of the study suggest that increasing long-chain omega-3 fatty acids intake and decreasing trans-unsaturated fats intake could reduce a women's risk of developing endometriosis, potentially making it the first indentified modifiable risk factor.
According to Jean Hailes gynaecologist Dr Elizabeth Farrell, "Women who have an unhealthy weight are more likely to have more oestrogen, which if they have a tendency to endometriosis would stimulate growth of the endometriosis cells. Avoiding animal fats and trans-unsaturated fats and having more omega-3 fatty acids is important for health and wellbeing. This is an interesting observational study showing once again that healthy eating with appropriate foods/oils may have a positive effect on an illness or reduce its risk. More research however is needed to see how dietary oils may affect endometriosis cells."
