Organic Food - Why Are We Sicked?

Generally, there are only two main sources why we get sicked

Reason #1 - We catch a virus or bacteria.
We will pick up thousands of bacteria and viruses throughout your life and that's natural. Our body immune system is designed to counter or handle the bacteria or virus. Our immune system is effective only when our body is in balance, a state known as homeostasis, and we will never get sick because of a virus or bacteria. On the other hand, if our body is not in balance, our immune system becomes too weak to fight off the virus or bacteria, and so, we can get sick more often, more severe and for longer period of time.

Reason #2 - Our body develops an illness or disease
We can have illness or disease such as heart disease, diabetes or cancer because something in our body is not working properly. This is a result of too much toxin getting into our body which affects our body pH level. When our body pH is alkaline, we virtually can never get sick. However, when we are toxic, our body becomes highly acidic, which means that we are susceptible to illness and disease. Every patient who has cancer is found to has a low pH level i.e., too acidic!

One of the sources of causing our body to be imbalanced or highly acidic is what goes into our body or what we eat.

Sadly, today, almost all kinds of man-made or man-grown food contain toxic synthetic chemicals.

Let's be practical, food manufacturers or farmers are in food business and in order to make profits, they have to sell more of their products at lower cost. For example, to produce more crops in shorter possible time, a farmer will use chemicals fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides to ensure that his crops grow faster and are not easily destroyed by pests.

That's why if you are going to eat fruits and vegetables or any food for that matter, it is important that they are organically grown without any toxic chemicals for personal healths.

For the coming posts, I will share with you on organic food.
