I was raised by a health food guru of sorts. Her reasoning behind eating healthy was to stay healthy and live longer. Though I agree eating healthy can make your body healthy, I can't agree with that it will make us live longer.
I have a friend making a life style choice to be vegan. This friend started it for health reasons to help with diabetes. In making this choice, the benefits are out weighing the struggles. All the excess weight has fallen off and my friend is feeling healthy. Is this going to make my friends life longer? I dont know. Moderate diet change and exercise might do the same thing. Who knows.
I believe that when we die we die. We cant stop death. The important thing about living on this planet is to be a part of it. What will you leave behind? I dont want to leave behind a body that will pollute the ground if I am put in it, or left on it. All these preservatives and chemicals I have ingested over the years might prolong my life and prolong my body after death but at what cost?
Most people want to eat healthy. Some people just want to eat what tastes good. I want to eat what I was meant to eat so that this earth will be balanced and the cycle will continue in a more healthy way.
after all isnt that what it is all about
I have enjoyed your site and look forward to following your work.
ReplyDeleteI agree, eating organic, vegan diets and healthy nutritional choices are important. However, I disagree when people advocate this as the fundamental choice available to improve health. I see health as a function of sensible choice coupled with love. I perceive all ill health as primarily a function of fear.
If we look at fundamental physics we may determine all physical matter to be energy in eternal motion. We are that energy being expressed in a dualistic nature of polarity. This polar opposite reflects itself in root form as either fear or love.
Each thought, feeling and emotion we have can accurately be determined as a brick in a house. Our house of fear or our house of love will be constructed by every thought we have. The house of fear is obviously the house of ill health. Conversely the house of love entitles one to physical, spiritual and emotional well being.
Taking this understanding to it's ultimate realization we conclude ONEness, in turn, unconditional love, to be the only harbinger of true health.
Namaste, my sister, owning the domain of health...
