American Diet

I was reading a study last week saying that America with its 300 million citizens has the same number of cancer diagnosis as India, a country of over a billion people.  How could this be?  Is it because many people there don't get the health care they need?  Perhaps.  India has many parts that are still considered 3rd world.  I believe a lot of this has to do with diet.  After all we must look at what cancer is.  Cancer is the body's cells replicating at an abnormal rate.  The body can no longer control the surge and the mass of rouge cells becomes destructive.  Consider this analogy for a moment.  If you gave the best construction worker in the world terrible materials would they be able to build a building that can withstand storms and earthquakes?  No.  However you can use the best materials and build a very sturdy building even if you aren't an amazing architect.  This is the same for the food we eat.  The food we eat as Americans is not designed for nutrition, it is produced to turn a profit.  This is why the preservatives are used, to keep food around longer.  It is designed to taste good.  This is why they use so much sugar.  Recently studies have been done relating high sugar diets to cancer patients.  Take a minute to think about this.  The simplest form of energy going into cells that have turned bad is like adding rocket fuel to a camp fire.  The body can not keep up with this.  I encourage everyone to do a cleanse once every month.  Nothing crazy just eat organic fruits and veggies for 7 days.   Eat things that grow naturally and see how you feel after the week.  If you have any questions or would like any help on your personal diet plan please don't hesitate to reach out to us!  Even as a chiropractic clinic we are here to serve the NW Suburbs in all aspects of health and wellness!   Yours in Health, Dr. Matt
