Preventive Health/Medicine

It seems to me that science doesn't really care much about finding cures these days. We've put a man on the moon, we carry around tiny computers in our pockets (smart phones) and we have so many conveniences in our day to day life we barely have to do anything. What we don't have are cures to cancer, aids, MS, diabetes, etc...

To me, it's simple. Why develop cures for diseases that are multi-billion dollar industries? It's smarter for business to keep people sick then to cure them. The average yearly costs for a cancer patient range around $400K! If a cure was found and the drug companies could charge $50K a pop it still does not add up for them. It's really sad that big business control our health!

Now... I'm not a scientist nor do I know the complexities involved in finding cures but it seems a bit ridiculous to me. I'm shocked at the statistics and saddened. I know there are things like genes and actions that can cause the diseases but I'm also a strong supporter of preventive health or medicine.

Preventive health or medicine is done by us each day in many ways. Whenever you wash your hands after using the restroom that's preventive medicine. You are avoiding germs that can give you the common cold, infection, etc.

What most of us don't realize is that preventive health can be applied to our diet. Anytime you eat something your body processes the food and breaks it down into something usable. For every un-natural thing you digest the more you confuse your body. Products that you purchase in a package like cereal, cookies, fruit roll ups are food created in a lab. Your body is confused by these foods. Any "natural" or "healthy" items boasted by the packaging are no longer valid because they've been cooked out of them or pumped full of preservatives. Our bodies do not understand how to turn this food into quality life. Life meaning blood, hair, skin, tissue, etc.

The only foods are bodies know how to break down are natural, plant based foods. Fruits and vegetables are the cleansing foods that allow our bodies to perform at our optimal levels. Most people barely eat 1 full serving of fruit or vegetables of a day. Most people are ignorant to these facts. Our country has the highest statistics for obesity, osteoporosis and other awful diseases and I honestly believe it's due to our diet.

I encourage you to double your fresh food consumption. Its your way of helping your body cleanse and regenerate. You will benefit immediately from the change. This change has long term benefits that will keep your body healthy and strong.

I know for me personally I've seen a huge increase in my overall energy levels. I have increased my fresh food diet drastically.
