HEALTHY CHOICES
I have a master degree in pharmacy, and you might wander….why is this women criticizing the world of chemicals if she is a part of that? Well, I like to help people, I like to give advices, and I am also a mother of two beautiful children. One of my children was born with unknown disease and he is handicapped…I have never stopped wandering if this is because of our polluted environment we are living in, polluted food, drinks,….WHAT?
OK it is material world and one could argue with me that we can not produce so much food without genetic s and chemical influence, that our natural water is poisoned (yeah, why…..?) and it needs to be chemically treated to be drinkable...
Cosmetics... would you consider not having cream or body shower gel that has no smell ... of course not... and this require chemicals…there are many additives in order to receive nice looking , aromatic and stable cream, body lotion... shower... name it.
Our pets (dogs, cats…) need to eat »healthy« briquette with a lot of additives in for stability, to improve taste, colour etc...
Is it only in my head that now more people develop cancer and handicapped children are born or is this long term adverse reaction of chemically treated food, drinks, medicines, cosmetics…? We are poisoning ourselves …who does that to himself?
One day I went to the store and bought a salad – green salad that looked perfect, full of vitamins. Brought it home and put it in my fridge…forgot about it….after one week, I was sure that the salad was rotted, brown…SURPRISE, SURPRISE…. IT WAS PERFECT, just like the day I brought it from the store. I was shocked….I questioned myself what was this salad made of ….there could not be vitamins and minerals in there, it must be full of chemicals….I was sure I was not going to poison my children with it!
Now, few days later, I received same green salad but from home garden, and of course, the next day this salad was useless...
Get the picture? But this is only one simple example….It took me a second to decide to start using more »human friendly » products... I opened my closet where I have stored home cleaning products….I could poison the whole city with them.
I started to learn about natural, about organic, I have watched »The beautiful truth« and this film amazed me….I have realized that we can heal with nature, nature has it all and we just need to listen and to allow it to come to us. Watching people with different health problems and listening to their “healing with nature” stories is just amazing…We have everything in front of us…just need to open our eyes and pick it up….and you have to remember that thousands years ago people knew what we just started to realise.
I have come across an interesting website that has a lot of information about anti-aging and longevity. It also outlines how most supplements which people take are really quite ineffective and in some cases dangerous. There are detailed explanations about all the essential nutrients that your body needs and how the importance of correct proportions are. If you have an interest in your health and well-being we really recommend that you check it out. It could give you many extra years of happiness and health. You can find the details at: XTEND-LIFE
ORGANIC vs. NATURAL – do you know the difference?:
Many people are confused or mislead by what is organic, what is natural, we also have eco, biodynamic... etc.
Organic:
By definition, organically grown foods are produced without most conventional pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, no growth hormones or antibiotics are used. There could be residues of pesticides... One could wander if 100% organic exist? NO it does not...
Most important is that organically grown products are not genetically modified. This is 100% sure. If you find a label “organic” you should look for “USDA Organic” label:
This one is one of the most stringent standards in the USA and allows really minimal or no residuals in organic products. There are also other institutions that provide such standard.
Natural:
In the dictionary this word is reserved for: Present in or produced by nature...
So, this is a clear definition – an apple is 100% natural product …BUT what if it grows from the apple tree that grows on polluted soil? And you can find residues of pesticides, fertilizers and other toxic ingredients...?
Is this apple still 100% natural? I do not think so…But how can you know that?
