As a mother, chef, business owner and author of "10-minute meals", I have something to say. I feel like I've lived several lives though I'm a young 41-year-old. A checkered past is an understatement when describing my experiences. To say the least, I've gained some insight along the way. I crawled out of an abusive relationship with a famous song writer. I started a catering business, opened a small cafe and wrote a cookbook. ultimatebreadpudding.com 10-minutemeals.com
Show me a disease and I'll show you a body deficient in some kind of nutrient. I've said it before and I'll continue to belt it out until I die. Our bodies need proper nutrition in order to fight off disease. Despite overwhelming evidence physicians will not consider the link between vitamin deficiency. According to Lim Chee Aun, "More than half the crew of Vasco da Gama died from scurvy on his first trip (1497-99) around the Cape of Good Hope. In 1747 the Scottish naval surgeon James Lind treated scurvy-ridden sailors with lemons and oranges and obtained dramatic cures. In 1795 the British navy began to distribute regular rations of lime juice during long sea voyages (hence the name limeys for British sailors), a measure that was largely successful in preventing scurvy." "It was probably the first disease to be definitely associated with a dietary deficiency." Knowing this, one would think the first plan of action in treatment
would be the enlistment of a full dietary work up. Doctors are quick to write a prescription rather than educate their patients on the importance of nutrition. The body is a unique and wondrous entity. The fact that the heart beats continually every day without manipulation of man is a miracle. A car can't run without gas. How far can we run without proper sustenance?
Scott Allen reports, "A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that the widespread deficiency of vitamin D among Americans is more harmful than once believed, increasing their risk of fractures, muscle weakness, and even cancer as they age."
The absence of vitamin B can lead to heart swelling. Vitamin A is essential for your eyes. Without it one could suffer from night blindness, dry eyes, or eye inflammation. If you find yourself ill, go to the doctor. But later, do a search for vitamin deficiencies. You may find a correlation and possibly answers to other issues you may be experiencing.
