Food
You are what you eat.
This is an example of Terrain Theory: the environment determines our health: the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. Our bodies continually renew and heal themselves, while our immune system protects us from pathogens.
Poor quality industrial, GMO, and processed foods are like slow poisons. They do not provide the wide array of nutrients that our bodies need to function efficiently.
There have been many studies that show that fruit and vegetables are less nutritious than they used to be. E.g.:
In 2022 I did a blind test of industrial, organic and biodynamic carrots and tomatoes. The three samples were labelled A, B and C. We started with touch, sight, smell and texture before tasting them: initial, mouth feel and after-taste.
The Biodynamic ones were the tastiest and most 'alive', followed by the organics. The industrial ones felt 'dead' in comparison.
