The Root Of All Sickness

Why do people get sick? There are a lot of things to blame. But here are a few reasons accounted for most sickness that most of us neglect their significant.

To Refill
We live in a hectic, fast pace life. When things go crazy, we forget to eat. The body expends energy even when we are doing nothing, let alone coping with work and taking care of the family and all that running around. Many are so busy that they skip breakfast, not a good idea for keeping a healthy body. And even when we eat, most likely we eat stuff we like or accustomed to, or even worst, fast food. We may feel full to the stomach, but not really giving the body what it needs. Just like a car, it needs more than just gas to run on. It needs water, engine oil, break fluids… in order to be safe to drive. We often need to check what it’s low on and refill or even refresh the ingredients it needs if we don’t want it to break down sooner then it is supposed to. When the engine oil is low, you won’t refill it with water, do you? It works the same way with the body, a much more complex machine, for optimal function, it needs 14 different types of nutrients to work properly. These nutrients are found in many different kinds of foods and fruit and vegetable. If we only feed it with what we like to eat, then it is like keep filling water when the car is low on engine oil. We are not properly refilling our body of what it needs. Over time, it will start to break down, just like a car.

To Repair

The human body was designed to spend 1/3 the time sleeping for a reason – to repair the body by replacing damaged cells with new ones. This self healing process is done during deep sleep, and it needs nutrients to produce the cells that are going to replace the death cells.  When we don’t have enough sleep (at the right time), we are robbing the body the chance to do its job.  When we don’t give it the right nutrients (whatever that may be) to produce the cells,  we are cheating our body to do  a good job, and the result,  a weaker body that are prone to many kind of ailments.

To beware of the living environment

We are living in a toxic fill environment.  Water and air are being polluted by the modern world. Pesticide, herbicide and hormone in the food we eat.  Household cleaning products,  medications in the cabinet are all contributing to the toxic build up in the body.  When the liver, the main toxic treatment center, is overloaded for a prolong period, its function starts to weaken and portion of the toxic never get leased out of the body.  The result?  Need I say more?

To manage stress

Another biggy, your emotion, which account for 50% of your overall health. Did you know that when you are angry, being startled or under lots of pressure, body cells are dying off in a faster rate than normal?  Sitting in traffic going to work, an issue with the coworker at the office,  you are late picking the children up from the baby sitter, having an argument  with your spouse….all these stress  building up.  Imagine a wooden table, you stack a few bricks on it every day, by the time you have about 50 bricks, you may notice that the table start to cave a little, a sign to stop loading it or even need to unload it.  What happens if you keep piling it up, until it has no more resistant? It will collasp!
