Why is it hard for us to believe that our body has a build-in mechanism to repair itself? We sneeze when foreign dust try to get into our nostril, we cough when unwanted object get into our air way, our stomach cramp to tell us there is 'poisonous' food in the stomach, and we have diarrhea to expell un-welcome staff out of the body. Our immune system armed with t-cell B-cells to warn off harful virus and bacteria. The lastest science is still far from understanding every aspect of human body. With all the complex chemical transaction in the body at a cellular form, where did the cells get the fuel to perform it function? No other than the food we eat! then why is it so hard for some people to believe that diet has a tremendous ability to change the state of our health to the point of reversing diseases? even cancer?
Unfortunately, we sometimes work against the body to heal itself, we seek the 'convenient' way instead of the natural way... panadol to stop the fever while the body try to raise temperature for the immune system to fight, med to stop diarrhea while the body try to expel the harsh toxin.
Not only we do not assit the body to do its work, we cut off the fuel (nutrient) it needs so badly for daily maintenance and diesease prevention. Just look at the food we eat in a day. How many of the servings are 'real food'? I bet we are all confused what it mean by 'food', if you simply categorised your food as carbohydrate, protein, fat, sugar, vegetable as a 'balance' food, you are closer to the grave than you think. Not when your carbohydrate are refined white rice/bread/noodle, protein are char-grilled, oil/fat are heated or worst still 'recycled' oil, vegetables are for decorating the plates, top with preservatives, coloring, flavoring, chemicals...where are the enzymes, vitamins, mineral, phytochemicals, antioxidants? Now, look at your dinner plate again and re-categorised them, goodluck!
