How does improper nutrition contribute to poor health?
There is growing evidence that there is a direct correlation between the declining nutritional value of our food and our diets and the increase in degenerative diseases. “Free radicals” are often the culprit. And they attack from everywhere. Modern bioscience has identified free radicals as one of the primary causes of the breakdown of human cells that accelerate the onset of disease, aging and death. These rogue molecules are the result of exposure to many common elements such as the sun, X-rays, cigarette smoke, pollutants, chemicals such as chorine in the water, pesticides, food additives, and even the cathode rays in computer screens. In today’s world, it’s impossible to escape them. When these free radicals hit a cell, they can cause a runaway chain reaction, breaking down cells and causing them to mutate.
