Modern medicine loves to look at Hippocrates as the father of mainstream orthodox medicine, but he would have shuddered at what it has become. The focus has shifted from putting the care of the patient first, to putting the making of money as the most important factor. Our standard medicine does not look for the cause of the disease or condition, but only on how to suppress it with drugs, in affect harnessing the problem, which will only lead to more serious and costly issues later on. This system of greed is why so many don't get proper care and oftentimes feel hopeless. This ongoing study guide will seek to educate one on making the right choices now, so they can avoid that system in the future. Its how to truly be healthy, and to be in the best shape of your life both internally and externally. It starts though with you, and your realization that you have to be active in your diet and what you do. That requires personally accountability and discipline, but the payoff is well worth it. Once you adjust to your new commitment following through will become much easier.
Having studied nutrition over the years I will have to admit that this topic was one of the most complex and challenging. One reason is the countless and opposing views on what we should eat and our diet. One will say that the best diet is vegetarian, one will say meat eating in moderation, one will say low protein, one says low carbs, how is one to know? One diet says that if I am a certain blood type I should not eat these fruits, or this vegetable. You will hear all sorts of conflicting reports of people having a great response with this diet or someone living long on this diet. How does one sort through all of this and know what is the diet that their body needs? Ah ha. Did you catch it? That was the first clue. The question one has to ask is "what should I be eating?" Not your friend, or your neighbor but you. One of the first steps one takes is realizing that your body is different and had different needs and requirements than others. There is no one size fits all diet. This is a important thing for people to realize, if you are to lose that weight or to recover from some ailment and just to have good health. Understanding that people have different molecular needs can really help to get someone on the right track. Knowing your own molecular needs will help you to achieve optimal health.
