I watched a documentary and I have to say I highly recommend that anybody interested in health watch it asap. It's on Netflix and you can learn more about it and see a trailer here.
It's a little overwhelming, especially at the start. A bit gloom and doom. The soil is depleted and chemicals are dumped on everything. Your food has no nutrients because it travels days to the grocery store (OK, I'll eat more frozen veggies) Which was followed by, everybody is nutrient depleted because we eat too much cooked food!! (Doh, now what? I live in an apartment and can't have a garden, even in the summer.)
Once I got past the despair, I'm really glad I watched it. My conclusion is that small but significant changes can make a big difference in health. So what are a couple of take-aways from this movie? Doable things that could have a positive impact?
1. I'm eating much more healthfully than I have have before, including vegtables. However, I can add more raw foods into my diet.
2. I've always said that if I got cancer (or any illness) I would want to consider natural remedies. My new thought is more nuanced and developed. A. I want to continue living my life more healthfully to hopefully avoid disease. B. I will DEFINITELY explore natural remedies should I ever get cancer or another disease.
3. I'm willing to consider high doses of vitamins for illnesses, ranging from a simple cold to cancer or depression.
