28 Day RAW Food/Juice Cleanse
I am becoming more and more aware of how sick we are becoming at the hands of the consumerist society we live in and have decided to take control of my health. The problem is the more interest we seem to pay in being 'healthy' and buying 'healthy food' the more companies seem to latch onto this fact and create themselves a new product! There is so much information fl
oating around and unless you have a lot of time on your hands (like me) to sieve through all the information, it can be very overwhelming and confusing. It's understandable then that so many people result in feeling that with all the conflicting evidence/studies and opinions it's best that they don't believe anything! I have lost count in the number of times I have heard this or something similar "apparently we can't eat anything so I don't know what to believe anymore", "I will just eat what I want". This attitude is great for the companies that rely on us being sick so they can 'cure' us! It means the more simple and easy they make it sound, the more likely we are to go for it and more money and success for them! Instead of growing your own fruit and vegetables, washing them, preparing them and then eating them... Just pop a pill! If I asked you if you would rather live a long, painful life, full of diseases or…. A long happy, healthy life, full of energy what would you choose? Easy answer?… Well, maybe there is an easy solution. The only obstacle:
You
I hope that is simple enough! Whatever you spend your time doing, it is time to stop and think, question everything! Not just for ourselves but for our families too. I truly believe that if we really knew about food and remembered that it’s primary purpose is to fuel our bodies, provide us with the nutrients we need, what we eat would change dramatically. I also believe that if we understand the power of sugar and how addictive it is we wouldn’t be so quick to feed it to our children and call it a ‘treat’ in the same way we wouldn’t give our children a glass of wine! Often we don’t know why we ‘want’ something and again don’t question it. Did anyone ever see the Halloween videos going round of children and their reactions to their parents hiding their candy? The videos are funny and entertaining but psychologically when you really think about it, they are reacting in the same way any addict would act if you were to hide their drugs. Stop and think...
Maybe, just maybe, what we are being told is not the whole truth. Maybe, just maybe, it is for their gain as a company, as a business, not for ours. Something else to think about...
Look at the leading causes of death in the US and the UK over the years
3 Leading causes of death 1900s
Pneumonia & Influenza
Tuberculosis
Diarrhoea & Enteritis
3 Leading causes of death 1990s
Heart Disease
Cancer
Stroke
3 Leading causes of death 2000 - Present
Heart Disease
Stroke
COPD
The main thing that has changed over these years has been our diet! It can be argued then that the reason for these relatively new diseases wiping us out is due to our diet. If our diet could be similar to that in the 1900s could our main health concerns then be Pneumonia, Influenza, Tuberculosis, Diarrhea & Enteritis once again? If so this time round we are a lot more prepared to deal with them! What would our main causes of death be then? Wouldn’t that be nice!…. Well for us anyway, for all the companies that earn a living from making us sick… Not so much! But don’t get me started on that! So if you read all of the above then chances are you are a little curious and maybe even ready to make a change. If you are, feel free to follow my page and see how my experiment goes.
