The First 3 Steps to Health
They say you don't appreciate something until it's gone. Well then, the one thing you should strive not to lose is your health. Are you sick, or know someone who is? Many things improve health, but the three most important things to do is 1. Avoid trans fats 2. Detoxify heavy metals and toxins 3. Supplement with healthy nutrients.
Avoid Trans fats
Do you use Margarine? Most of us do. I quit, when I learned that trans fats are one of the biggest causes of cancer. Most everything we eat these days are made with trans fats. Eliminating the biggest culprits is very important! Margarine, shortening, and peanut butter are all made of oil. However their structure has been changed to make them last longer. This hydrogenation process also makes them more dangerous.
Two German Doctors and noted cancer researchers in the 1930's learned a cause and a cure for cancer. Dr. Otto a Nobel Prize winner in 1931 proved that cancer happens when there is a lack of oxygen to the cell. Cells deprived of oxygen mutate into anaerobic cancer cells . They then divide and multiply using sugar for energy. Around the same time another scientist and seven time Nobel Prize nominee Dr. Budwig expounded that this lack of oxygen was caused by trans fats invading and smothering the cell.
Not only do trans fats impede oxygen but they also replace good cholesterol in the cell wall. That thickens the and strengthens the barrier making things like insulin unable to enter. This has led to increased Diabetes. The body produces and uses cholesterol in the body; it coats and protects, and in cell membranes it aids osmolarity which is how the cells get nutrients. This thickened and strengthened layer of plaque also causes arteriosclerosis hardening of the arteries.
Detoxify
Toxins can be any substance or chemical that is can cause illness or injury. Chemicals are in everything we eat, drink, breathe and use. Many of these chemicals are known to be harmful; others haven't been studied yet.
Most of our foods are filled with chemicals to preserve freshness and enhance taste etc. Even fruits and vegetables are sprayed with chemicals. Soda is made of chemicals. Our water has chlorine and fluoride in it. Air pollution contains dangerous fumes that invade every living thing. Household cleaners, hygiene products, etc. are made of chemicals.
Our body can only excrete a small portion of the toxins it is exposed
