This is a video on my Video Tab. Dr Joel Fuhrman Talks about Vegan Diets to Cure Diseases. It is a powerful message about diet and disease. Epigenetics allow each cell in our body to link with the external environment. The influences are diet, hormones, epigenetics from other cells, how we think, and stress. These influences can change how a cell does it’s work. Some of these changes will make us healthy an strong while others will make us sick.
Dr Joel Fuhrman suggests “The longer your waistline, the shorter your Lifeline.” Obesity is a national crises and it is a primary cause in the accelerating area of chronic illness. Diets, diet companies, surgery and drugs won’t fix the problem! They are designed to keep bringing you back and paying more but never quite getting you fat-free for life. It turns out you can do it on your own for next to nothing. Eat mostly raw fruits and vegetables, feel full and watch your waistline decrease and your lifeline increase.
Dr Joel Fuhrman suggests that parents that feed their children foods low in nutrients are enabling “slow destruction of their child’s genetic potential.” In light of what we know about epigenetics, poor, nutrient empty foods are switching the wrong genes On and Off. This may be the most abusive thing loving parents can do. They are making their children sicker at earlier ages. You wouldn’t allow your child to do drugs, smoke a cigarette, drive a car, drink alcohol or have sex at an early age but allowing them the wrong foods can be even more deadly! If you are concerned about your children or grandchildren’s well being, start with what goes into their mouths.
Reading Joel Fuhrman’s book, Eat to Live, I see yet another dedicated person that is not only trying to help people but actually succeeding. Like Dean Ornish, he has helped thousands of people lose weight and become healthier. He also advocates a diet primarily based on fruits and vegetables in a raw state. Dr Fuhrman puts forward a health formula: H=N/C.
H stands for health, N for nutrients and C for calories. The higher the ratio of nutrients to calories, the healthier we are. Conversely the lower the number, the sicker we can be. Are you eating nutrient rich foods or empty calories that are addicting but will cause you illness and suffering.
Do you have a relative or friend that is sick or dying? Is a neighbor fighting a chronic illness? Be a Good Samaritan and point them to books like the China Study, The Spectrum or one of the videos I have posted on this BLOG by doctors and surgeons talking about the harm of eating cooked meat. Your jester might just save a life near and dear to you. Videos and articles of interest are:
Give your relative or friend this list of information on how meat can cause serious illnesses. Give them a copy of The China Study and The Spectrum. Help them get this important research and change their lives. Save a life close to you!
