Nutrition and Diease

Nutrition & DiseaseDisease and nutrition go hand in hand. Nutritional deficiencies causes two things. Disease and aging. The other things that also cause disease and aging are poor life style choices, mainly tobacco and alcohol. We have an obvious choice with tobacco and alcohol but we have a much harder choice with nutrition. The reason for this is mainly because it’s very difficult to get the right kind of nutrition, i.e. fresh fruits and vegetables. These are seasonal and when we depend on outside sources, we can’t be guaranteed of the quality. When they are shipped from far away places, typically they are cut before they are ripe and a lot of the active ingredients are left in the stem and root.When our bodies are given the right nutrients they can heal themselves. Genetically we are coded to do this. The only problem is that in order to fix ourselves we have to have the right nutrients to do so. Would you fix a flat tire with a rug? There have been a number of studies done on the use of various vitamins, antioxidants in treating and preventing disease. I would strongly encourage checking this out. The one field that research is exploding in is that of glycobiology. They now know that there are eight monosaccharides (simple sugars, not just table sugar) essential to cell to cell communication. This process helps identify bad cells and instructs the immune system to kill them. When the immune system is depressed, bad cells stay bad and then they multiply. Currently we only get two of these eight essential sugars in our diet: glucose (table sugar) and lactose (milk products). The other six we can manufacture but it takes a lot of energy and can involve up to 20 different reactions. There is a single product out now that is a combination of all eight monosaccharides.
