Healthy Body Purity
I’d like to follow on from my last two posts that concentrated on the health of the mind Healthy Workout for the Mind Part 2, by now looking on the effect that cleaning up the body’s intake can have on general health. This isn’t a scientific or statistical test, but more a common sense look at what is plain in front of everyone’s face.
This is about the pollutants that we are exposed to every day of our lives on 21st century earth. They are for the most part unavoidable as many pollutants exist in the air we breath and the water we drink. More gets into our food, so there is really no escaping these poisons. Fortunately, our bodies are quite good at filtering these pollutants out and getting rid of them without to much damage, but we don’t do a perfect job of it and our levels of certain pollutants will increase in our bodies over the course of our lives. Heavy metals such as mercury, lead and aluminium cannot be purged from the body and the latter two are responsible for lowering our intelligence levels, especially in children.
Modern pesticides are sprayed with carefree abandon on our crops by over zealous farmers hell bent on reaping every last ounce of vegetable matter form their beleaguered soil, regardless of the cost to human health. Governments and health bodies either turn a blind eye or deliberately misdirect and obfuscate the issue in the hope that it will be swept under the carpet and public awareness will wane.
These can be avoided to a certain extent by eating organically produced crops and waving a finger in the polluted air at intensive farmers and the greedy supermarket chains that force the issue. Better still if you have your own garden, you could learn to grow a large proportion of your own food crops, thereby saving yourself money and being totally sure that your crops are 100% free from all poisons.
Every little thing that you can do to reduce your body’s intake of pollutants will help you to maintain a better level of overall health and this should be pursued with ever increasing determination if you want to grow old healthily.
