Simply put, the secret to abundant energy is cellular hydration and oxygenation. The question is, how do we achieve the highest possible level of cellular health?
Visualise if you can, the complexity of each and every one of the cells in your body. Each cell is like a tiny city complete with plumbing to disperse water throughout, waste removal to discard toxins, electricity to power the cell, an army to defend it from invaders and enough DNA or information to replicate your entire body. Now take into consideration that there are trillions of these cells within your body and each cell duplicates, like a photocopy, once every four minutes. Just like a photocopy however, the quality of the cell diminishes with every reproduction. This is the process we call ageing. The quality of the reproduction and the speed at which the photocopies deteriorate is determined by the quality of the materials used to reproduce the cells. What building materials are you supplying your body for it to duplicate your cells?
Cells are made up of and supported by minerals, vitamins, enzymes, water, oxygen and more. The only way for these nutrients to enter our bodies are through our openings (mouth, nose, etc use your imagination) and through our skin. Unfortunately, toxins are able to enter our bodies through these same pathways. The ratio of nutrients versus toxins is the deciding factor for how fast we age, how healthy we are and how much energy we have.
To simplify what I am talking about, let's compare your car to your body. Whether you have a brand new car, an old bomb or a classic, you would never put water, milk, mud, or any other substance in the fuel tank because you know it needs petrol, diesel or gas etc, for it to be able to perform the way it was designed to. In fact, if you were to add even a small amount of any other liquid to the tank other than the fuel it requires you would very quickly notice the level of performance drop, if not cease altogether. At the time of writing this article, it costs me about $80 to fill my car's fuel tank with high octane petrol but despite the cost I am willing to fill it with only the best petrol because with a clean engine I know I get increased short term performance and the lifespan of my car's engine is lengthened. I could probably save myself $30 per week if I used a lower grade of fuel but I would do so to the detriment of my car's health and in the long run it would cost me more in "medical bills". Our bodies are no different and yet we are so used to adding cheaper low grade foods which are not fuel for the body whatsoever, that we no longer recognise the reduction in performance and seem oblivious to the shortened lifespan of our body.
With consideration of the complexity of the cells in your body, you can understand how it is essential to provide the most pure building materials to assist the cells in operating and reproducing at their highest potential.
Here are a few (organic) foods that will supports your cells:
Fruit
Veges
Nuts
Seeds
Sea minerals
Pure water
and here are a few foods that don't support your cells' nutritional needs:
Chemical laced water (Most mains and bottled water)
Pastries
Fast food
Soft drinks
Coffee
Soy
Animal products (Meat and Dairy)
I feel like I am stating the obvious with the lists above but in reality most people in Western Civilisation consume very few foods from list one and predominantly foods from list two. Still people seem genuinely surprised and upset when they are diagnosed with easily preventable and often reversible diseases due mostly to their food choices.
If you are deficient in nutrients, continuing with the same lifestyle and taking pills for your ills won't cure you or even slow down the degeneration of your body, it only masks the symptoms while the underlying causes and ongoing damage is left unattended. Pills don't heal; the pharmaceutical industry wouldn't be the wealthiest industry in the world if it healed people; there is little money to be made from healthy people.
Dr Batmanghelidj is a world renowned advocate of the power of hydration and states that most ailments can be prevented and cured by sufficient intake and absorption of water. Sadly in modern society intake of water is lower than ever before, especially with the availability of addictive, toxic, dehydrating drinks such as cordials, coffee, soft drinks and chemical laced water. Even options promoted as being healthy' don't compare to pure water; drinks including fruit juice on the shelf in supermarkets (this is usually cooked and stored in plastic bottles that leach toxins into the juice), bottled water (often nothing more than tap water with some of the chemicals removed to improve the taste and smell), pasteurised milk and diet and sugar free options for sweet drinks.
Water is a delivery system for nutrient replenishment and waste removal for your cells. Without proper hydration your cells cannot assimilate nutrients and rid themselves of waste.
Just drinking pure water is not enough, even if the water is pure the pollutants we absorb through our environment more than make up for the pollutants we may have removed from our water. I am referring to toxins such as:
Air pollutants including vapours from glues and new carpet, vehicle and lawn mower exhaust, industrial chemical steam and dusts.
The 2000+ poisons approved to be added to our food such as herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, MSG, aspartame, sodium laurel sulphate (SLS), chlorine, fluoride (the list goes on).
Toxins from cooking your food such as fats and oils that turn toxic when heated (virtually all fats and oils except coconut oil become toxic when heated) and toxins from your cooking utensils including metals leaching from aluminium, copper, iron and steel pots and pans, household pipe from your water heater and plastic spatulas and tongs.
Additions to meat and dairy to A) keep the animals alive (just) and B) keep us alive (just) including but not limited to: Antibiotics, hormones, steroids.
Absorption of toxins through the skin including poisons in shampoo, soap, make-up, tanning products, creams and moisturisers, colognes, deodorants
Drugs, legal and illegal.
It is estimated that from the time you awake in the morning until the time you arrive at work you have already absorbed between 200-400 toxins into your body.
The issue we are faced with today is that our cells are full of toxins. There is no longer enough pure water and oxygen for our cells to function they way the should so it is imperative that we empower our bodies with the right nutrition to ensure our cells are capable of detoxifying, defending themselves from invaders, and functioning the way they were designed to maintain our health and achieve abundant energy.
