What a loving topic from #hiveleaners community to ending this amazing week of good health. Yes’ Good health is one amazing gift we do not cherish, but thanks to God for this very topic that concerns natural and artificial. Both determines how healthy we live while consuming them. And how healthy and clean is our environment since the air we breathe into our body is also important to health. In fact, a healthy environment with nature is so amazing 🤩.
We use to believe how healthy and good natural foods are to the body. At least we saw the evidence while growing up as we saw how healthy our grandparents were then. No drugs of all kinds and no hospital 🏥 visits nor checks. All these thanks to how they totally they embraced natural organics, vegetables, fresh corn from the farm, palm wine 🥛from the palm tree 🌴, fruits that has no preservatives. It was totally a one different lifestyle compared to the ones we live now.
I can still remember my grandmother 👵 dying at the age of almost 90 years. Natural foods which are known as Organics has been the best from the onset of time which was why our grandparents and parents enjoyed their days with aging grace and not with artificial like life support and constant medication 💊.
The problems we are facing now is how those natural foods we believed in has been tampered with. Some of this vegetables 🥗 root tubers like potatoes 🥔, yam 🍠, organics like onions 🧅, tomatoes 🍅, peppers 🌶🫑 are all cultivated with some sort of chemicals to help quickened the growth and maturity. All these has drifted the naturals from what it use to be, which however has caused humans many suffering.
Some vegetables 🥗 and fruits 🥭 are preserved with chemicals before shipment 🚚 is carried out, the chicken 🍗🐔we eat are all packaged with preservatives before shipment. So eventually not everything we see as natural are healthy due to how human has used science 🧬 to pollute what we humans also consume. Honestly speaking, the tomatoes 🍅 we have now in my region does not seem like the ones I use to know from my mother. So I go out all the way to buy tomatoes 🍅 shipped in from neighboring countries because of how strong they appear and last longer even without being refrigerated .
And here, we should not be particularizing on vegan and veganism, but what lifestyle we choose to live and those that are healthy for us. I see good artificial as the best support we need, like multi vitamins we take as supplements to help boost our system. Then some health support machines for people in critical conditions. And when it comes to incorporating artificial in some of our diet for an appropriate balancing, artificial are important despite how some processed foods are not healthy especially those under junk foods. But we do still have sone good packaged products that are healthy although might be expensive. And on them you will see 💯 percent natural with no preservatives. I usually will want to trace the manufactures with every information that will provide how natural the product is.
And we can as well check what we eat personally to niche it down to natural if we can’t deal with most artificial. My every morning black tea of Lipton tea ☕️ of no milk and sugar is a way I know am drinking something very healthy.. I can decide also to make my orange 🍊 juice at home by using a squeezer and without sugar or sweetener which we find in most packaged juices 🥤.
All ww need is our own strategy of balancing the natural and artificial because every individual or should I say manufactures are all around the world 🌍 are out to make themselves rich 🤑 in which every way can see. So its totally in our hands and our choice of action that will help us to achieve this balance.
