Food
You are what you eat.
This is the Terrain Theory in action. Our environment causes illness: what we eat, the air we breathe, and the water we drink. Our bodies continually renew and heal themselves, and our immune systems protect us from pathogens.
Poor-quality industrial, GMO and processed foods do not provide the vast array of nutrients our bodies need to function efficiently.
In Dead Doctors Don’t Lie, Dr Joel Wallach shows that 90 supplements prevent 900 diseases: Illness is a nutrient deficiency. The book has sold 360 million copies worldwide and 60 million in the USA.
Many studies show that fruits and vegetables are less nutritious than they used to be. E.g.:
- Fruits, vegetables now less nourishing than 70 years ago - National Geographic 3 May 2022In 2022, I blind-tasted industrial, organic and biodynamic carrots and tomatoes. The three samples were labelled A, B and C. We started with touch, sight, smell and texture before tasting them: initial, mouth feel and after-taste.
The Biodynamic ones were the tastiest and most 'alive', followed by the organics. The industrial ones felt 'dead' in comparison.
