Sugar arrives in our body in many different forms, mostly hidden...
contributing to obesity, non-alcoholic liver disease and type 2 diabetes and many other health issues...
Refined sugar isn't helping your mind or your body and definitely not doing you any favours, so quitting sounds pretty good, but why would YOU consider removing it from our daily life?
A nutritional paradox,
Sugar is vital for all life on Earth, supplying every muscle, organ and cell in our body, while simultaneously being blamed for the rising obesity, heart and diabetic epidemics.
So what do we do…??
Those little creatures that live within us all...
eeewwwhhh yuuuccckkk you say...
What is a parasite?
An organism (animal or plant) which lives in or on another organism (its host) and benefits by deriving nutrients at the other's expense, ie gets food or protection from it.
Did you know that various parasites infect a major percentage of our population?
Have we lost our way?
Is the West the Best?
Today I was again reminded of how complicated many of our lives had become... where did the natural and simple life go?
Many years ago, around some 20 or so, I was a School Councillor and I was delegated to look after a non-so-white teacher from South Africa. He was sponsored by the government to study our models of teaching and lifestyle.
With my background in health, of course the subject was autonomously raised. After much discussion we both realised that his people were suffering from too little food, medicine and other perceived necessities, with too much being available in the west. He asked the question "How could we make this more balanced"?
