Health, Diet and Environment.
Knowledge
is knowing what we should be doing.
Wisdom
is applying that knowledge in our practical daily living.
Toxins and Cellulite
The
toxins come into the body and they go into the fat cells and it creates
cellulite.
Cellulite can be
defined as "an infiltration of the subcutaneous fat cells by fluids and
toxic wastes."(1) The body puts the
toxins into the the fat cells and keeps these poisons out of the way of
the body's other systems, so that it can deal with them at a later date,
for instance, when the owner decides to fast. Stress is often a
factor in cellulite, because the body accumulates toxins much more when
stressed, and elimination may become less efficient. In general, men store
cellulite in the heart region and also in the head, leading to premature
balding and heart illness. For women, cellulite
is stored in the thighs, hips and buttocks. This is why women tend to
get more hip replacements than men, because the toxins go into the bone
and they can lead to such ailments as arthritis. The Simplicity of our Food
If we are to look
after our diet then we need to be aware of the simplicity of our food.
It takes more energy to digest complicated meals than it does to digest
simple ones. Each one of us has a different level of digestive energy
- the energy available for digesting our meals. If we cannot digest
our food then it remains in the body as an undigested food mass which
compacts in the intestines. It has been said that the average red bloodied
American male has 5 pounds of raw hamburger meat compacted in the intestines.
We can help to prevent the build up of an undigested food mass in the
intestines by moving towards a more simple diet. The best way to do this is to move away from eating meat. As well as the many diseases, chemicals and injected hormones that find their way into the majority of todays meat produce, by eating meat we also take in the emotional toxins of the dying animal.
We all die from toxins
in the end, but as we begin to simplify our diets and take more care of
ourselves then we become more sensitive to the food that we eat. We begin to know
when one food is good for us and when another food contains many toxins
in it. So we learn to avoid that which is bad for us, even though it tastes
good and arrange our diets so that we are good to our bodies. Otherwise,
as one wise soul put it, we begin to "Dig our graves with our teeth". Another
factor concerning diet is to try and notice which foods lead us out of
balance, make us angry, uptight, confused or dizzy. This is generally
the effect of one or both of the following factors:
Harmlessness and Vegetarianism
We can put our spirituality
into action in all areas of our life and a good starting point is in the
food we eat. We can learn to become harmless. Not wanting to hurt,
not getting angry with, and not wanting to harm a person by word, by thought,
or by deed, and becoming forgiving with ourselves because we are not perfect. In the Hindu spiritual
traditions, as well as in many other spiritual practices, all life forms
are seen as people, as souls transmigrating from one life to the next
and learning the lessons that the Universe is teaching them, so that they
can eventually become a great soul and unify with the Absolute, as part
of the great cycle of Life. So may wish to modify our diets to give the maximum respect to all other forms of life that we share this planet with.
It is a good practice
to get into the habit of becoming aware of the effect that our actions
have on others. Nutrition
We
can learn, from the huge body of knowledge available in books, about the
nutritional aspects of food, such as:
It doesn't take much to find out - we just need to read a book or two and there are many available on the market. It's worth considering when we look at some recent medical observations. Male sperm count has halved in the last thirty years. Breast cancer in women has gone up as well as other cancers. Osteoporosis, a bone wasting disease, is now being seen in children. Cases of Osteoporosis, hip replacement operations and arthritis have all doubled or trebled in the last thirty years.
There has been a
lot of scientific interest in this and there are always certain vested
interest groups, such as the Food industry and the pharmacutical and medical
industry who have a keen interest in seeing that only certain informations
reach the general public. Some of the most
recent studies have been researching the effects of certain chemicals
that are added to foodstuffs at times in their production cycle. One set
of chemicals are the pesticides that are sprayed onto growing and harvested
crops. Pesticides are used
to kill off the bugs that would otherwise destroy food crops, but their
killing power doesn't end with the bugs. They also effect the bodies of
the people who eat them! Some of the most recent pesticides that have
been brought to the attention of food regulating boards and are discussed
next. Hormone Disrupting Chemicals
One
class of hormone disrupting chemicals are Xeno-oestrogens. These include;
This group of chemicals
are also know as hormone disrupters. Hormones are those very small quantities
of chemicals in the body that make the body what it is. They organise
the body. So when one is playing about with oestrogen and progesterone,
one is directly effecting those areas of the body that function with growth
and development of the body expecially concerning gender and sexuality. Over a period of time the body begins to accumulate more and more of these chemicals from the food, water and air supply and we begin to fall foul of the ailments mentioned above. Some of us are stronger than others, some can resist the dosage that is harmful to others, but everybody eventually gets worn down from constant exposure. In women, the menopause is accelerated due to extreme levels of oestrogen and progesterone, bringing the onset of menopause down to as young as thirty five.
What causes these chemicals to enter the body and what can we do about it?
If one is sensitive,
we can feel the effects of these poisons in the body when we have digested
our meals. Organic Food and Springwater (No Nitrates)
What can we do? The first step may
be to try to buy nothing but organic foods. Organic bread, pulses, vegetables,
cheese, milk and yoghurt, to name but few. Where can we get
them from? Many of todays supermarkets
are beginning to stock a wider and wider range organic produce - by public
demand! So, if the local supermarket doesn't stock an organic range -
we must ask the manager to do so. By writing to the
manager of the supermarket and asking for a reply to your letter, the
issue is brought to their attention and the letters are kept on file. It's a start. We can also write
to The Soil Association asking for a list of Organic producers and suppliers
(enclose a S.A.E.). You may also like to join The Pesticides Trust which
produces a quarterly newsletter. The addresses of these organisations
can be found at the end of this chapter. It's good to know that someone
cares and that they are actively involved in informing us of the facts
concerning these issues. Other good leads
are Friends of the Earth (FOE) and Greenpeace International, they are
always pleased to help with your enquiries, just send a SAE. You will find the
addresses are at the end of the chapter. Chapter References
