Out-Of-Shape and Overweight, Part III

We tend to adapt ourselves and take for granted our health problems. As an adult, we accept the fact that we will have health problems like our parents and grandparents and that modern medicine will fix what ever illness or disease we get. We become a custom to being sick because many of us grew up with childhood illnesses. Going to the doctor became routine. The thing is that children are still building an immune system to fight off illness and disease so childhood illness will always be a common occurrence.

Doctors believe a child has to go thru this process of getting sick from germs and bacteria so the body can build the immune system and be able to fight off illness on its own. And yes, it works just like it was meant to. But as we get older we use up the good bacteria that the immune system needs to fight off diseases. Hence, the older we get the more we need to replace these good bacteria. 1 out of every 2 men will get Cancer in their lifetime and 1 out of 3 women. These statistics are government numbers compiled by the U.S. Health Dept.

So how do we build back our immune system? The only way to build back a strong immune system is to eat a lot more fruits and vegetables and eat less animal meat. All animal meat contains animal fat. You can't avoid the fat, it's marbled thru the meat. We don't need to eat animal meat. It's a well-known fact that seafood is much healthier for you and has more nutrition. Humans were eating seafood long before we ate meat. It's the Nomads that started to follow the herds and live off the animals. Those people how lived along the shorelines lived off the sea and ate plant food and those people over centuries have lived with fewer health problems.

If you're looking for proof, the Japanese farmers that live on the islands to the south still live the same way their ancestors lived and they are some of the healthiest and the oldest people on Earth. We can learn a lesson from those people who live life healthier than we do. This is also the reason that medical science has been watching the people in the Mediterranean region and their diet. On a whole, these people have fewer health problems than Americans and science wants to know why.

Of course, there is another very big reason that these people are healthier than most. Besides their diet, they are more active. We know for sure that farmers are more active. Especially, if the farmers are working their own small farm. In other countries, most small farms still do all the work by hand like their ancestors did. That increased activity, more walking, and more standing is better for your circulation. If your blood is circulating freely and your blood is full of oxygen your body is working properly and will repair itself in most cases.

If you want to avoid future health problems you want to lose body fat. Medical science claims that just losing 10% of your fat will make a difference in the way you feel.

Some of us don't know where to start and I tell my clients to start by reading. That's why I write. To educate you, as much as I can, why you are the only one that can make your body healthier.
