Human beings are generally sturdy, long-lasting creatures. current lifetime in the developed countries is up around 80 years! As Our biological knowledge grows, we’ve recently come to understand that there are both short term factors and also intermediate to long-term factors that have an impact on Human health.
In nutrition, this means that there is a minimum amount of Vitamin C we need to keep from getting scurvy. So the recommended daily amount of Vitamin C was once set just high enough to keep people from getting scurvy. Later we began to realize that while low amounts of vitamin C kept us from getting sick, they did not promote optimal health.
The cycle for getting scurvy is measured in months. But the goal in nutrition is not just to avoid obvious short-term vitamin-deficiancy diseases. It is to promote optimum health, energy levels and well being. For that we need many times the scurvy-prevention level of Vitamin C intake.
There are other, longer-lasting cycles of effects of deprivations of nutrients, antioxidants, phytochemicals, probiotics and others that affect us. These deprivations can lead to diabetes, circulatory problems, heart disease and maybe alzheimer’s disease and others.
We also know now that numerous pollutants (like lead) and certain substances found in processed foods (like trans fats, nitrates and certain preservatives) have long-term life-shortening effects on us humans.
Knowing this encourages us to move away from commercial drugs in favor of natural cures whenever available.
Understanding this now enables us to successfully avoid fibroid surgery, discover the best psoriasis diet and effect ovarian cyst removal successfully..
Our biochemistry is quite complex. There are apparently genetic links to more diseases and conditions than we ever suspected just a few years ago. As we continue to decode the complex interrelations of genetics, DNA, biochemistry and causes and effects of what we ingest, we’re finding new answers to old problems in sometimes unusual places.
