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
For example, there is a generally accepted minimum daily Vitamin C intake necessary to prevent scurvy. Once we thought that this minimum amount was all that anyone needed. Subsequent scientific studies showed us that increased Vitamin C intake had significant health and well-being benefits.
If you don’t get any Vitamin C, you will contract scurvy in a few months. There is a longer general health cycle in play, measured in years, which calls for higher vitamin C daily allowance levels.
There are other, longer-lasting cycles of effects of deprivations of nutrients, antioxidants, phytochemicals, probiotics and others that affect us. Long-term deprivations of these seem to lead to problems usually associated with aging, like diabetes, heart disease, senile dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
We also know now that numerous pollutants (like lead and mercury) and certain substances found in processed foods (like trans fats, nitrates and certain preservatives) have long-term life-shortening effects on everyone.
Knowing this encourages us to move away from commercial drugs in favor of natural cures whenever these are available.
Understanding this now allows to effectively treat fibroids symptoms and make highly effective psoriasis shampoo. This new view of things now helps us to live longer, better, happier lives.
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.
