Breaking The Cycles (sounding off a bit)

Why did no one warn me about such things? When we take health classes in school, why didn't we focus more on what makes our bodies function rather than what can hinder us, and how to not get pregnant? (oddly enough thousands of teens still get pregnant daily as it is, so duh something is broken in our learning system) People need to wake up and smell the nutrition!! Our bodies are an intricate system of checks and balances, but we have been taught  for so long, that a little pain means nothing, that we have conditioned our minds to block pain until the pain is so intense we can no longer function. This pisses me off, ROYALLY!!! Don't think a pain means nothing. Examine it!! With the internet available to most people now-a-days, we have all the tools we need to fix our minor injuries and pains, so as not to overwhelm our medical community with the sniffles. Simple things such as, I read today, magnesium deficiency or vitamin D deficiencies can cause numerous ailments. But we ignore the symptoms, until they are too great, and have caused too much damage that simply changing our diet to include more nuts, vegetables, fresh fruits and less proccessed foods, are no longer enough.

WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!

We are killing ourselves by allowing the government and television commercials to tell us what's healthy for us, instead of listening to our own bodies. When did this become a community of lazy ignorant people? We have the ability to reclaim our independence from drugs, from malnutrition, and from most diseases. We don't do it, because it's easier to open a box of Kraft Mac & Cheese, adding a few hot dog bits, and calling this a meal. I am guilty of it too. My children were raised on Kraft products, and in moderation I am sure they are fine, just like in moderation soda won't kill you, and in moderation, an alcoholic beverage will not send you to hit rock bottom. I find it terribly sad, that in the richest most powerful nation on the planet, we have one of the highest malnutrition rates on this same planet. It goes beyond sadness to downright anger!! This is our doing. We allowed ourselve to be fooled into believing everything we've heard, or read about food and health, that we actually believe what the pharmaceutical companies tell us, until we are proven otherwise. What happened to forming our own opinion? Now we have a generation of obese people on the rise. We have a generation of early heart disease, diabetics, people on major psychotic drugs for depression...WHY? BECAUSE WE ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN!! We did this to ourselves, and until EACH individual who lives, breathes, eats and drinks freely in this country wakes up and takes on responsibility for our own actions, Nothing will change.

Maybe, JUST MAYBE, if we become a nation of self responsible adults, our children will see this, then they will grow into self responsible adults, raising self responsible children of their own. Sooner or later, this will take a lot of burdon off our medical system, our welfare systems, and our government in general, showing them that we really don't need 769 different departments working on the same issues, any longer....and Maybe it will show them that we no longer need 100 different asthma medications on the market, 200 different types of chemotherapy or numerous heart and cholesterol medications any longer.
The possibilities are endless, and it only takes the first step.....

I, for one, would like to do this. I have made it my mission in life to make my body as healthy as possible, overcoming the damage I have already done to me. One step at a time.

Remember: Talk to God...He loves your voice, and will teach you all you need to know in life. Love someone regardless if they "deserve" you love, because someone else loves you regardless.....Most of all....GO BE PHYSICAL!!!! Tomorrow WILL be too late!!
Peace.
