Why are most people in the Western World Unhealthy? by Warren Matthews

By people accepting the 'official' no fat line they turn to alternatives such as margarine and other vegetable

oil substitutes. What they are not aware of is that most of these substitutes, which are derived from vegetable oils, are in fact hydrogenated because otherwise they would be liquid at room temperature.

This involves treating the oils and the resulting substance is much, much more harmful than butter could ever be. A

future article will discuss the subject of oils and fats.

The official dietary guidelines virtually ignore the incredibly harmful impact of processed foods and sugar on

the human body. They also ignore the fact that the normal western diet is seriously lacking in essential nutrients, which translate to imbalances and poor health.

3. Mystery.

We all know that the human body is an amazingly complex 'vehicle'. No one fully understands all the interactions

that are taking place within it every second throughout your lifetime.

This includes the medical profession along with the pharmaceutical industry, evidenced by the ongoing removal

from the market of drugs which have been approved and considered to be safe and afterwards found not to be.

Nonetheless, many people place far too much reliance on the medical profession. Apart from using the medical profession for important tests to find out the internal health of your body so you can make corrections in your lifestyle habits if required, you should never have to visit a physician.

Now, I understand and appreciate that this is not the case for the vast majority of people. I just want to

make the point that other than routine check ups if you need to visit the Doctor it means you have damaged your

body in some way and are seeking a repair.

Your body is not like a car when it comes to repair issues. When you try to repair your body through the use of

pharmaceutical drugs you run a serious risk of starting a cascade effect which will bring on other health problems

in the short or longer term.

In Summary

If you want to live a life of vibrant health and energy take a close look at your attitude to health and consider

honestly if you are working towards removing as much as possible the mystery of how your body works. Realize that there is no quick and easy medical 'fix' for most ailments as a single ailment is often merely one small symptom of other underlying problems that cannot be effectively dealt with in isolation...in the long term.

Try to eliminate as much as possible, your intake of manufactured and processed foods and avoid drinking sodas, and tap water. If you are overweight be particularly vigilant about avoiding sugars in any form...they are much more damaging to your weight objectives than fat.

In good health,

Warren Matthews
