Our species is tough, resilient and durable. Human expected average lifespan is now over 80 years in most developed countries, with more centenarians every year. Expanding scientific, biological and medical knowledge is now showing us that there are more factors than the more obvious short term effects of diet and stress. There are also important (and sometimes subtle) long term effects that should be considered
In nutrition, this means that there is a minimum amount of Vitamin C we need to keep from getting scurvy. So the recommended daily amount of Vitamin C was once set just high enough to keep people from getting scurvy. Later we began to realize that while low amounts of vitamin C kept us from getting sick, they did not promote optimal health.
If you don’t get any Vitamin C, you will contract scurvy in a few months. But the goal in nutrition is not just to avoid obvious short-term vitamin-deficiancy diseases. It is to promote optimum health, energy levels and well being. For that we need many times the scurvy-prevention level of Vitamin C intake.
There are still longer cycles of nutrient deprivation and lifestyles involving many different nutrients, phytochemicals, antioxidants, etc. These deprivations can lead to diabetes, circulatory problems, heart disease and maybe alzheimer’s disease and others.
We also know now that certain pollutants (like lead) and certain substances found in processed foods (like trans fats) have long-term life-shortening effects on everyone.
All this pushes us to avoid artificial drug solutions and move toward more natural cures whenever possible.
Knowing this now we can successfully devise an effective uterine fibroids treatment, find the best psoriasis natural treatment and treat uterine cysts symptoms more effectively..
Our biochemistry is quite complex. There are genetic links to more diseases and conditions than we ever suspected just a few years ago. As we continue to decode the complex interrelations of genetics, DNA, biochemistry and causes and effects of what we ingest, we are finding new solutions to old problems in often surprising places.
