Healthy Eating Is the Best Medicine on the Planet

Healthful food is best medicine on the planet! No, I am not suggesting we rush accident victims to a organic restaurants rather than an emergency rooms. Nor am I saying that doctors aren't qualified to treat most illnesses. What I am saying is that there will be few illnesses to treat when more of us adopt Healthful Eating-styles.

In his groundbreaking book, The Fifth Discipline, Peter Senge brilliantly demonstrates the challenge of connecting outcomes with the actions that cause them. He emphasizes the general problem we have with identifying cause and effect relationships when it come specifically to complex systems. This natural weakness is one of the reason so many people fail to connect poor health with the poor food choices.

Because our bodies are so adept at compensating for poor nutrition, in the short-term, we often ignore the signs of declining health until major illnesses occur. When bombarded with unnaturally high level of sugar and/or toxic substances our bodies automatically go about the business of detoxifying. Likewise, when faced with a limited supply of nutrients from food our bodies automatically take steps to synthesize most required nutrients from stored materials. Because our bodies do not shutdown when confronted with nutritional challenges there is rarely any thought given to the impact of how we eat or for that matter how we feed our families.

There is substantial research that suggests that heart disease, diabetes, and cancers, to name a few of the leading causes of death, develop over time as a result of controllable behaviors. In other words, direct links can be made from our daily lifestyles and many diseases. However, because the connections are part of a complex system and occur over time they are easily ignored.

I believe it was Benjamin Franklin who said an "Apple a day keeps the doctor away". To every who has discovered the importance of Healthful Eating and are enjoy vigorous lives relatively free of disease - congratulation. To everyone else, I encourage you to take the advise of Mr. Franklin and recognize that Food is Nature's Medicine!
