Recently i went to the hospital to check see the doctor and i was told the doctor to attend to me will be back soon, while waiting, he came in and from the look of things he had gone to smoke, it got me thinking, can it be that they are telling us not to do this and that and if you follow them you wont eat anything because everything is bad to health, no drinking of alcohol, smoking of any kind and the list is endless, why would a doctor now turned around and go smoking?
humans decide if they want long term health where they are still fit when they retire. or enjoy life now.
most people dont care about what happens to them when they are 70, so they are not in a mindset to care about lifestyle of 70+.
you know. why be strict with yourself for 50 years of adulthood just to live 10 more years when your too old to date/have sex/skydive/climb a mountain.
most doctors actually care less about their health simply because they have more access to medical procedures. they can literally get any test they like by asking a colleague to do a check many times a year. where as normal people have to be on waiting lists and only get a check once every 10 years.
so doctors can find problems with themselves early and get them fixed and have a better survival rate simply by being inside the system to get the checks and procedures early. thus they dont have to worry as much.
many citizens dont find out they have cancer until its too late like 5years into having cancer. where as doctors would get a check from their OH(occupational health) plan if they had a continual cough. within the first 3 months
If the doctors advise you not to drink alcohol, no smoking I think better to follow this advise. Because you know the consequences if you continue those prohibited to you. Now, if some other things were the Doctor said don't eat this food such as Pork, preservative foods , and etc it is still good to follow, but if the physicians advise you not to eat this vegetable or fruits well in this case the Doctor is lying this time on this scenario. Because, all fruits and vegetable are good into our body. Why? because human are herbivorous.
1. there is some vegetation that is actually poison. we learn over thousands of years what to stay away from. try licking poison ivy and tell me all vegetation is good... enjoy the pain in finding out not all vegetation is god for us..
2. humans are not herbivorous. cows are.
humans are mono-gastric stomachs. meaning we cannot process/digest much cellulose food materials such as grasses/green vegetation.
(its why we fart and have indigestion and burp when eating brussel sprouts, cabbage) we can process the fibre of wheat, but not the wheat germ as well..
preserved/process food is not the problem of the meat. its the salts, germs, viruses and bacteria involved in the processing/preserving(or lack of) method that our guts do not like.
cooking food is a good process to kill the germs, bacteria/viruses..
processed food is not a dietary aid. its a business tool to lengthen shelf life for business profits(less waste to trash if it lasts longer in shops)
living a vegan diet is unhealthy. the amount of veg you need to eat just to get to the amount of iron and protein requirement is something unachievable. thats why these grains/veg/greens end up needing to be fortified(additives/supplements added)
a balanced diet of meat for the 'metallic'(iron magnesium,zinc) and protein nutrients. and veg for the vitamin nutrients is the best answer.
moderation(small portions) of a varied diet is better then bloating yourself with large portions of only a section of food types.
trust your tastebuds.. if something needs an additive to make it worthy of eating. your body doesnt want it naturally.
EG if your bread only tastes good with jam/butter or ham.. then dont eat the bread.
if you can only eat meat if its spiced up gravy or sauce added. dont eat it.
learn to trust your cravings.
i enjoy meat and veg. but certain times of the year i can crave a steak. then i can crave vegetables. trust your gut and your tastebuds.
if i eat too much steak i lose the enjoyment for it. and then my body enjoys lamb or chicken more. its our bodies way of saying it has had too much of one type of nutrient.
our evolution from ape to human was due to eating meat. due to our ancestors trying different foodgroups. and finding out what they crave more or spit out.
the iodine in fish grew our thyroid gland which turned 'cretins' into humans
take away the iodine and the thyroid gland and we devolve into caveman
do some research on mono-gastric stomach, thyroid, pituitary and the whole human biology. and realise what types of nutrients those things need that separate us from a cow
