We Live in a Hostile Environment

The importance of LifeStyle Living is knowing what kind of environment that we live in.  The fact is, is that we live in a toxic planet.  Much of the information I am sharing is coming from the book, How To Survive On A Toxic Planet.  Unfortunately, we do live in a toxic planet and that is really not new news.

Stress, Chemicals, Toxins, Pollutants.  There have been a ridiculous amount of chemicals that was introduced since 1930 yet only 8% of those chemicals was tested for the safety in humans.  Another interesting fact is chemicals have been found in the fat tissues of penguins in Antarctica...  Chemicals originating from Texas.  So chemicals are everywhere...

Our air quality is bad, over 60% of Americans live in cities where the air is so bad, it actually affects our health.  One example is if you are running for 30 minutes in the city of Los Angeles, the oxidative stress is equivalent to smoking a pack of cigarettes.  Talk about premature aging...  What kind of Lifestyle Living are you doing when you exercise and prematurely age at the same time...

Our soil is bad.  Over 50% of the United States farm land is virtually sterile, there are no nutrients to feed the plant so we have a huge problem in  our food chain.  See, the way nature is designed, the plant takes up all the nutrients from the soil and delivers those nutrients to the fruit at the vine ripening stage.  Nutrients are delivered especially to the skin of the fruit to protect it from the harsh rays of the sun.  Then we eat the fruit.  (That is how we get our nutrients).

Our tap water is bad, traces of pharmaceutical drugs is found in our tap  water.  It's not there intentionally, but it's there.  Yuck!  Solution for proper Lifestyle Living is Filtered Water.

Then, our Food..  Yup, it's bad too.  We have genetically modified fruits and veggies.  One fact I learned in College is that strawberries has a fish gene in it.  See, fish is susceptible to cold waters and in order to grow a crop longer into the season, through the process of gene splicing, they put a fish gene in our strawberries.  We have hormone filled milk and meat.  Organic?  Well, it just means not pesticides but it does have a slightly slightly higher nutrient content because it is still green harvested.

For all of us LifeStyle Living people, this information has given us some important truths and we can't escape this epidemic, however, there are ways through it.  So stay tuned for more shared info.
