Knowledge IS Power (I)

Knowledge IS Power (I) - So there I was again, permitting myself to be lightly sucked into top- notch BS with nothing but annoyance at the end of a 50- minute long video message, definitely comparable to a marathon infomercial. This time, however, I shall not just sit back and mope or lament for nothing other than the sake of my own heartfelt aggravation but rather react proactively by sharing the kind of knowledge which I exposed myself to out of sheer curiosity in the first place. Well, you need to let sink in the wisdom about knowledge being power, but at the same time, make sure you put your hands on it without falling prey to the financial scamming that comes attached with it only too often. Listen to me carefully: There are just NO miracle products whatsoever out there ever regardless of how much shine is added for the mere purpose of deceptive embellishment. Under precisely that premise, I am going to share with you what I recently listened to, so you will be able to implement that type of knowledge into your every- day life to your maximum benefit. You see, in my opinion, there is absolutely no need at all to be tricked into the illusion of having to literally buy into specific products that are for one presumptuously over- priced and besides do not provide the help as shamelessly promised. Rather on the contrary, they maliciously aim at driving you into a financial dependence which is hard to break away from. Tell me, what is wrong with the following picture. There is that renowned and most likely filthy rich heart specialist advocating for an alleged wonder drug just because he claims that he feels the desire to help not individually but rather collectively, but in the end he actually reveals his true intention of wanting to also cash in on that? Not enough, he is seriously asking three times more for that product than other suppliers. Just because research possibly sucks up a lot of money does not justify a profit gain of up to 1000% (!), and at this point, I honestly don't care what the product is said to perform in impossible miracles. Let's be honest, this is nothing but plain old greed which calls for that kind of unbelievably audacious price- gouging. Also keep in mind at all times that doctors usually work hand in hand with the pharmaceutical as well as the food industry. - All right, enough now of my little rant about the all too obvious underlying motives here. For quite a while, it has been widely believed that certain foods impact our metabolism in either a positive or a negative way. Why some lastly cause a higher degree of addiction than others, though has - rather strangely - still not been discussed openly, let alone honestly which leads me back to that vicious circle of co- dependence between the medical profession, the pharma and the food industry. Anyway, there is no doubt, we all need to be educated much better in the future about nutrition, food groups, human physiology, biology and chemistry in order to realistically correct or just improve our poor food choices, disastrous eating habits and misleading attitude towards health in general. Certainly no news here when I state that food is directly linked to our physical, mental and emotional well- being. To start out with our bodies, they naturally produce numerous hormones, enzymes, microbes, and so much more. Leptin and Ghrelin, for instance, are enzymes which stand in entirely antagonist function to one another and are in charge of transmitting the signal of either being hungry or full right to our brains. Everything we ingest promotes a specific bio- chemical reaction within our digestive system which consists of the stomach, the large and the small intestines in the first and several other organs such as the pancreas, the liver, the gall- bladder, etc. in the second place. The smallest bio- chemical imbalance due to unwise ingestion may easily result in major - even though initially subtle - shifts and ultimately cause an unstoppable chain reaction. Let's take a closer look next week at what exactly happens.
