As Hippocrates said ‘Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food’. We may all have inherited certain genetic factors, but I have learnt that it is more repeating our parents lifestyle than genes that can work against us. What if 99% of our health is up to our choices?? Our health is our responsibility. You may be thinking , but Derek what about kids. Yes unfortunately kids have the choices from their parents passed on from the time of development in the womb. EG: 30% of kids today have allergies. The exposure to chemicals / preservatives in our environment and food has greatly affected the next generation. EG: fructose intolerance now from over consumption by parents of food containing / soaked in corn syrup.

Health living must incorporate connecting daily to the earth. The term 'Mother Earth' has sadly been forgotten in this fast paced world we live in. Yet maintaining or restoring ones health can be greatly improved by re-connecting to the natural world. Remember the beauty, the calmness, the grounded connected feeling you once felt standing in a forest, on the beach, in a big park, lake?? |
