Health Concerns Affecting Longevity

[rest]

some facts and research about longevity and health concerns.

 

healthy diet 

 

consume vitamin RDA's

 

organic foods -

organic farmers use natural pesticides and fertilisers rather than synthetic ones. 
'pesticides have been known to cause lymphoma, leukemia, breast cancer, asthma, and other immune system disorders.' 
'about 25 synthetic products that are allowed to be used in organic crop production. By contrast, there are some 900 synthetic pesticides approved for use in conventional farming.'
'glyphosate, the world's most widely used herbicide, increases the risk of a cancer called non-Hodgkin lymphoma by 41 percent'

 

GMO -

'Genetically modified foods (sometimes called genetically modified organisms or GMOs) are foods that are changed by altering or adding genes in plants.'
'Some researchers believe that eating GMO foods can contribute to the development of cancer.'

 

low sugar -

'Added sugar is one of the worst and most toxic ingredients in the Western diet. It can have harmful effects on our metabolism and contribute to the development of numerous serious health conditions and diseases. Too much sugar is harmful to the body and promotes inflammation and disease.'
cancer lives on sugar

 

low salt -

'If you eat too much salt, the extra water stored in your body raises your blood pressure. So, the more salt you eat, the higher your blood pressure. The higher your blood pressure, the greater the strain on your heart, arteries, kidneys and brain. This can lead to heart attacks, strokes, dementia and kidney disease.'

 

processed foods -

'It's blamed for obesity rates, high blood pressure and the rise of Type 2 diabetes.'

 

synthetic calcium/ calcium carbonate (bread/ white flour, synthetic vitamins) -

'but when that calcium is in a synthetic form, it too has a calcifying effect on the pineal gland and other places in the body.'

 

tap water (solution of lots of stuff) -

 

distilled water

 

some bottled waters (BPA) -

'BPA causes severe neurotoxicity'
'BPA affects your health in more ways than one. The toxic chemical has been linked to causing reproductive, immunity, and neurological problems, as well as an increased likelihood of Alzheimer's, childhood asthma, metabolic disease, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.'

 

intermittent fasting -

'autophagy (“self-eating”) is a detox process your body undergoes to clean out damaged cells and regenerate new ones'
Research has found that once the body finally breaks down all the food we’ve eaten and no longer requires energy for digestion, it transitions into repair mode and begins to use our energy to repair our cells. This process is called autophagy. During autophagy, the body looks for damaged or unhealthy cells and signals for them to be destroyed.

 

vegetarian/ pescatarian -

'vegetarians were about 40 percent less likely to develop cancer compared to meat-eaters'
meat consumption is linked to heart disease and type 2 diabetes
meat and dairy farming is one of the leading causes of global warming.
conventional animal farming allows farmers to give the animals -
antibiotics (chlortetracycline, procaine penicillin, oxytetracycline, tylosin, bacitracin, neomycin sulfate, streptomycin, erythromycin, linomycin, oleandomycin, virginamycin, and bambermycins.)
growth hormones (testosterone, bovine somatotropin, estradiol-17β, progesterone, zeranol, trenbolone acetate and melengestrol acetate)

 

lifestyle

 

be conscious -

be aware/ pay attention to what is happening in your body. 

 

stress -

(lower/ avoid cortisol, adrenaline, norepinephrine)
the body stops healing itself to address stress
'cortisol was first discovered to be neurotoxic to the hippocampus more than 40 years ago'
'Cortisol is a neurotoxin, which means it is toxic to the brain. Research shows a strong link between excess cortisol and Alzheimer's disease and memory loss.'

 

sleep -

the body heals itself faster during sleep
'while you sleep, your body can make more white blood cells that can attack viruses and bacteria that can hinder the healing process. ... when you don't get enough sleep, your immune system is not able to properly protect the body'

 

heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium) -

heavy metals are neurotoxins that can cause brain damage even in small concentrations.

 

'off gassing' (some plastics fumes - phthalates, dioxins..) -

some plastics have something called phthalates which make them flexible and more durable. they are not chemically bound to the plastic so they are released as gas known as 'off gassing'
these gasses are toxic and are called endocrine disruptors and they can cause neurodegeneration.

 

fluoride toothpaste -

fluoride is a neurotoxin
it calcifies the pineal gland

 

emf radiation -

(microwave ovens, computers, house energy meters, wireless (Wi-Fi) routers, cellphones, bluetooth devices, power lines.)

(router cover, phone on flight mode, loudspeaker when taking a call)
'The WHO/International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), based on an increased risk for glioma, a malignant type of brain cancer1, associated with wireless phone use.'

 

natural products (deodorrant, body wash..) -

'parabens are known to disrupt hormone function, an effect that is linked to increased risk of breast cancer and reproductive toxicity'
'triclosan — an antimicrobial substance found in soaps and shampoos — was tied with cancer and liver disease.'

 

exercise (cardio - walking, running etc.) -

'Exercise causes change in antibodies and white blood cells (WBC). WBCs are the body's immune system cells that fight disease. These antibodies or WBCs circulate more rapidly, so they could detect illnesses earlier than they might have before'

 

spiritual understanding -

learn about non duality.
mindfulness can help regulate the body and lower stress.

It is not healthy, it is nonsense, I strongly suggest anyone who tries this be aware of risks of making your health condition worse, not better.
