Simple Foods Solving Complex Health Problems
This section of Harmony Earth is all about choosing health. It contains some of my favorite articles about health and nutrition, beginning with one about the question most often heard by people who shift to a plant-based diet. Many of you men may skip straight to the last article which deals with impotence. My objective with this list of articles is to provide you with concise summaries of what I have learned about a number of key, health related topics. But first, I want to share with you why I started making major changes in my own diet a few years back. Regards, Jim Hicks
In November of 2002, I began an intensive study of health, fitness, and nutrition. Since then I have read over 100 books and have learned a great deal about the topic. While arriving at the truth about nutrition is very complex, the simplicity of the solution is almost too good to be true. And it all fits together very logically as it turns out that what is best for our own health as humans is also what is best for the future of our planet. It also turns out that very few people in the world understand the complete truth about nutrition. You will learn why when you read The China Study, referenced in the next paragraph.
Over the past few years, I have made a number of positive changes in my diet and lifestyle and have had wonderful results. Early in 2005, I began writing a book in an effort to convey my newfound knowledge to those I care most about…my children and grandchildren. A few months later, after reading a powerful new book by Dr. T. Colin Campbell, I decided to put my book on hold for awhile. The China Study presents solid scientific evidence regarding nutrition and its powerful impact on our current health and the prevention of diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes and osteoporosis, to name just a few. The book presented all of my newfound knowledge much better than I could have done, so I decided to put down my writing pen and focus my efforts on another nutrition related mission.
After reading and re-reading The China Study, I have renewed my efforts to develop a corporate health improvement program that we can offer to businesses as a means of doing something wonderful for their employees while making significant reductions in the corporation's cost of health care. The health care monster that is ravaging corporate America cannot be tamed by tweaking the current system of "disease care."
After reading the articles in the left column, you will have covered a great deal of material about the power of nutritional excellence when it comes to our health and longevity. I now recommend that you visit the ECOLOGY link and learn about what our love affair with animal products is doing to our environment...Jim Hicks
