& Be Free From the Various Common Lifestyle Diseases
“Each
patient carries his own doctor inside him.” ― Norman Cousins
It’s
unfortunate that people see illnesses such as cancer as a treatable condition - not
a preventable one.
They
find false comfort knowing that modern medicine has found a way to deal with most illnesses.
But
there’s a downside to using this as a safety net for making poor lifestyle
choices.
Even
though medical science has come a long way, it shouldn’t be an excuse to eat unhealthy foods that destroy you from within.
Joe
Cross, creator of the film “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead”, was a prime example of
this.
He
was morbidly obese, riddled with autoimmune disease and used medications as a crutch to
support his lifestyle.
In
time, however, Joe realized that the medicine he took to suppress his
inflammatory response could only get him so far.
It
only dealt with the symptoms of his ailing health, but it didn’t target the
root cause of his REAL problems.
He
knew that if he continued on his path, he was headed for an early
grave.
That
was when Joe decided to leave behind his addiction to “Frankenstein Foods” and
never look back again.
Over
the next couple of months, he ate whole, unprocessed foods to cleanse his body.
Instead of taking medication, he used these foods to flush out the
substances that were wrecking his immune system.
Eventually,
he finally beat his autoimmune disease, lost a ton of weight and now lives a fuller, healthier life.
What makes food
bad: The Food Industry’s Hidden Agenda
The
problem with most food today is that they’re basically devoid of any
nutritional value.
Food
companies design their products to elate the senses to an unhealthy degree.
This is so you won’t want to stop binging until you’re disgusted with yourself.
It’s
no wonder so many people are suffering like Joe did.
When
food is chemically built from the ground up to hijack your hardwired
biological instincts...
...your
judgment becomes skewed.
Like
a lab rat pressing the food lever until it’s dead, we’re walking science
experiments.
We
happily chow down on unhealthy food until something like cancer gets
in the way.
And
one of the reasons why processed food is so bad is because they mess with your gut health.
Deep
in your small intestine, you’ll find a protective layer that keeps
you from getting sick.
This
is called the gut barrier. It's made up of mucus, gastric acids and a wall of
epithelial cells known as enterocytes.
Together,
they work to keep out foreign invaders like viruses and bacteria.
This
is the only thing standing between your bloodstream and potentially fatal
toxins.
And
eating the wrong food upsets the delicate balance of the healthy bacteria in
your gut, weakening your built-in force field.
And
once these malevolent invaders break inside, they’re free to do whatever
they want.
For
instance, they can make your immune system go nuts and start producing autoantibodies.
Think
of these as an overzealous security team that’s gone rogue.
Once
they detect a threat, they shoot everything on sight, including innocent
bystanders.
For
instance, the healthy tissue that makes up your vital organs gets caught in the
crossfire as well.
This
process fuels autoimmune disease, which can lead to serious consequences
- inflammation being the most common one.
In
a nutshell, inflammation happens when your immune system is on
high alert all the time.
When
certain foods “force” it to deal with perceived threats round the clock, it
will eventually run itself to the ground.
And
as you’ve guessed, long-term inflammation is not a good thing.
This
doesn’t just open the door to cancer, but other equally life-threatening
conditions.
Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s and dementia are just the tip of a
very ugly iceberg.
That
said, switching to the right food is the best way to take back your
immune system and stop it from turning on yourself.
