1. THE 5 PILLARS OF HEALTH
The progressive insight op the area of health van de past years made us see that health is based on 5 pillars (in order) (of importance):
- air (after all, you can only a few minutes without it)
- water (you can do a few days without it)
- food (you can do a couple weeks without it)
- movement
- positive mental attitude
The point that I want to make here is that er is is of a hierarchy. Like everything in the life. Some things are now once more important than other things and if je it biggest effect wants to reach , start then with the most important.
Alabastine
If you in attic have a crack in de wall , can you different do things . You can quickly seal the crack with a tube of Alabastine, but you can also to de basement go and repair the foundation of je house could that is the cause of je crack in attic. The is more complicated and takes more time but the result is that you crack in attic final has been fixed. you don't and grab your to de Alabastine then stay you smear because you addressed the underlying problem not .
This makes logical and that is it too. Still do we people in do life en masse to smear the equivalent of with Alabastine. Otherwise said: we are doing to symptom management. We would rather take a paracetamol instead of van kijken why we headache have (by stress on the work maybe?).
Imagine that we would so deal with our cars . When the warning light from the oil lights up , paste we er a refill sticker at in instead of of oil . Idiot right? That doesn't anyone do that, right? No, with , your car not but , but with , your health, (and , , a lot) (more cases in the life).
As a Apple expert , i have helped companies with maintenance and support for years. The first what does to at problems is: Check the Basics. Is the plug er in ? Does have the printer turned on ? Does internet work? Are all updates or installed etc. might sound banal but that's how you start.
2. HEALTH CARE: A DEVIL PACT
And so your should also watch je health . Check your basics! Still we do that don't and grab we en masse to de quick fixes, where isn't the drug rarely worse than the ailment. Not that I think that health care is nonsense , but if doctors no some attention have for de real causes and only look at de appearance symptoms dan ask me me really af how it can that this - may hire me , intelligent and highly educated people with that will keep going. What inspires those guys?
My dad - where I'd love to discuss , says dan that er is talking is of a devil pact between de patient, de arts, de industrie, de insurers and the government. Patients - there go we again, want preferably af van hun today disease and don't want to know of a change in lifestyle. Doctors took the oath of Hippocrates and promised de patient to help also even though refuses the patient takes his responsibility to . The industry delivers where the market asks for and earns there gold money to (only the arms industry is more profitable) and after that hollen de insurers and the government in a attempt to keep this madness afloat to .
A dead end path. is certain of that much .
But what do we do about it? Change of behavior is maybe is the hardest what er is. armies of coaches and consultants can have a say in . That patient doesn't change so fast. And coercion from above also goes , not just like that. No, change always starts small and from bottom at people die forward look, independent can think and are willing to take risks to . So Pioneers . And that is us too.
3. FOOD QUALITY
Here at SMPL we focus our primary on food as a basis van health.
Not because we that other pillars don't find interesting or important , but because we can't do everything at the same time. Certainly in the start-up phase where we are now . In the future you can definitely expect more from us . But for now so food. And if you there good look at can you conclude that is also de quality of our food by a number of things determined be die also a defined hierarchy has:
- The quality of de soil. The better the soil the better the crops die op grow qua nutritional values and taste, the better they are resistant to insects, diseases and funghi, and how less er sprayed need to be .
- The quality of de or seeds.
- Fertilization. Fertilizer or organic fertilizer.
- The mate of spraying with pesticide, insecticide, herbicide and fungicide.
- - Freshness. The longer the time between harvest and consumption, the less the quality.
- The processing. How more actions, how continue away you hit of de original shape and the lower the quality.
- Additions. To want of shelf life, low price and flavor adds de industry a whole pallet added to additives to ounces processed and packaged foods. Often , these additives are synthetically and/or genetically modified.
4. ORGANIC POISON
It is so true that if you eat organic - food so that less sprayed and without fertilizer grown is, you good are. However the difference with food comes from conventional agriculture is long not so big as you'd think and dat while de cost relatively much higher are. Would we organic en masse propagate then people would get less nutrients then with non-organic food simply because is the most people themselves de higher price can't can afford and so a lot less vegetables would go eat.
organic farmers also use toxins and because die - in comparison with synthetic toxins, often less are efficient, should use er a lot of . So can organic farmers use large amounts of copper - a heavy metal that is very toxic and is a attack on soil life. Don't forget that's why your organic vegetables very good to wash.
5. CERTIFICATES DON'T SAY EVERYTHING
In de organic farming , je has roughly two types of farmers:
Farmers who from a deep awareness of social responsibility try op a another healthier way to produce .
Farmers who grow only om pure economic motives organic crops. Organic crops produce a lot of more .
Is this distinction important? The last group is not really interested in organic farmers and will rather inclined are to find the limit of the legal allowable at to . Although is the SKAL, a independent organization for het oversight op de organic production in Netherlands- are best does companies control to , remains the human work and can't all are checked.
You can so organic farmers out principle and see the rules as a reflection of striving for healthy food, or je boert organic om sees the win and see the rules pure as rules. The ideas behind aren't interested in . So can the one farmer take measures die , according to de SKAL , not necessary are but good are for the end result, and de others boer the do at least mandatory and/or at most allowable . Ostensibly is organic always organic but unfortunately it so doesn't work, regardless the certificate. organic food also has big quality difference. de SKAL doesn't do anything about that at all.
Nothing is what it looks like so. Definitely not if is about food. If is one conclusion die I de made in the past years is but this is. To unravel the truth of healthy food we need to dig deeper . Literally.
6. START AT DIE BOTTOM
Remember you 'm ? Die pizzareclame from years ago? “Start at that bottom”. Looking back , there was in there a lot of wisdom. The core of the problem is 'm , namely in de soil. Not for nothing is ie at the top in on the list. That's where , can get the most win . And right doing there we the dumbest stuff.
The WHO (World Health Organization) has published reports that that the farmland worldwide completely is exhausted and on de rand van complete sterilization balances. That has huge consequences for de general health, environment and climate. Literally is the soil the foundation of our existence. And we go at like it isn't anything . And also organic farmers are to blame.
Now I want organic farmers not black because their aim to better quality can only applaud . However, it is by long after not enough. And honestly is the too hier symptom management. SuperFICIAL solutions for problems that go much deeper . Literally. The is short term in instead of long thinking.
We should look so deeper and further . To , so the bottom .
Because how does work does do now actually work? Plants grow because they in state with using of light carbon dioxide from the air, and water and minerals from de soil to fetch and to convert into all kinds of carbon compounds (sugars , for example). A part of that becomes via de roots back in de soil pumped as food for the (micro) organisms that live there. If dies the plant these organisms de will digest and in addition, acids out. These acids are in , is the minerals that are in de soil at to solve such that de plants ze with het water via de roots can record . And so completes the circle . When you nature are gang let go de soil is getting richer in nutrients and soil life. And that does actually also that er more CO2 in de soil end up comes that would otherwise be in the sky would be . See there also de relationship with our climate.
7. OUT WITH DE TEAM!
Every year farmers massively destroy the vulnerable balance what is in de ground has formed . By plowing . centuries long. Stupid! Especially since de mechanization his entry into de agriculture deed is het hard went backwards with the bottom. The acidity of the different layers is completely disrupted, the network of spores (mushrooms) and root canals will be destroyed, de ground will be exposed to weather and wind ( plowing makes de earth loose), , etc. The bottom is trying to restore balance which a lot energy and what at the cost of is of the resilience. The soil gets ill and so should farmers poison use to counter dat to go . The plants get a lot less nutrients in and also become vulnerable for diseases and insects and also here against de boer with should be poison in de again.
In addition, farmers use en masse fertilizer because de soil has insufficient nutrients and practice they monoculture which makes the soil even more depletion and more vulnerable .
8. THE POWER DER HABIT
But why do farmers do this? The reason is even simple as staggering: because she het always al done have. They don't know better than that hears that like that. And so we live in a world where de people chronic deficiencies to nutrients have what weather leads to a epidemic increase in chronic diseases. All whole logical actually. And it isn't hard to understand that this not infinitely by can goes like that. For now the negative consequences seem to be mer too , because we'll be after all, is getting older. But that is sham. Look at the studies and imagine that we all well getting older but are getting sick all the time younger . The age to which we in health live has been declining for years.
Maybe that you your er what less pressure om makes and that mag , of course, but we can't other than , the bells ring , often and loud! And if is at our product goes - fulvic acid, then we see as a emergency bandage. In a ideal world , was that , of course completely , not necessary , but unfortunately is still going to take a while before we de bottom in old ones again glory have restored .
Watch also at Kiss The Ground and at least also to this TEDx video by a farmer who does het completely else .
