WHO research statistics
45% of deaths among children under 5 years of age are linked to undernutrition.
WHO's member states have also endorsed global targets to reduce and maintain childhood wasting to less than 5%
5.6 million children under the age of 5 years died in 2016. This translates to 15,000 under-five deaths per day
According to the center for science in the public interest, unhealthy diet contributes to approximately 678,000 deaths each year in the U.S.
Nobody just wakes up and stumbles on cancer or arthritis or kidney disease, etc. These things happen installmentally. Nobody Just falls down and dies (slump), it must have been coming. Once again, the issue of nutrition in the human life, can never be over emphasized.
The idea of nutrition is not targeted for the sick. Nutrients simply goes to the cells of the body, and give them what they need for optimum performance. In the case of a sick individual, it gives to the persons cells, what it needs to heal itself. because the human body is a natural healing system, which is the reason why our wounds naturally heal whenever we injure ourselves and also why our hair grows back whenever we cut them.
WHAT ARE FREE RADICALS, AND WHY DO THEY CAUSE SO MUCH DAMAGE TO THE HUMAN BODY?
Free radicals are simply molecules with unpaired electrons. How do they get to our body? our bodies creates free radicals just by breathing and breaking down food. free radicals are literally free, because they are eveywhere. in the air, our bodies, and the minerals around us. free radicals are known to speed up the aging process in man, the exact reason why most folks are looking way older than their real age. we need antioxidants to mop off these free radicals and renew our cells.
Nutritionists, scientists, researchers, have said that, for you to fight these chronic diseases like stroke, heart diseases, cancer, arthritis, for you to slow down the aging process in you, you need to take in about 4000-5000 ORAC score daily. but from our day to day meals, we end up with an average of 1000-1500, which is leading to numerous death rates caused by poor nutrition. I know an American nutrition supplement whose one ounce alone, contains 13,000 ORAC score, its called TREVO. this is simply amazing!
Oxidation reaction and how it relates to free radicals in the human body
Trillions of reactions takes place in our bodies everyday, a perfect example is when we breathe in oxygen. In as much as oxygen is important to the human life, it can also be detrimental to our body. when we breathe in oxygen, it goes down to react with the hydrogen in our bodies, this reaction is known as oxidation reaction, which is why we sweat. The by product of this reaction called free radicals now becomes the problem. when we spray our perfumes, it activates the rate of free radicals in our body, when our phone rings and we pick up the call, it activates the rate of free radicals in our body. when we go out, we see high tension wires everywhere, these high tension wires, radiates electromagnetic radiations directly into our bodies unknown to us. these radiations pair with the free radicals always present in our bodies, which in turn causes the free radicals to start functioning at a high rate. in Nigeria, we have GLO, MTN, 9mobile, Airtel mast around us everywhere. these masts also radiates electro-magnetic radiations which activates the rate of free radicals in our bodies.
Free radicals has been known to cause over 60% of the worlds deadliest diseases today. including diabetes, cancer, arthritis etc
Doctors are now telling their patients about nutrition and its importance, parents are now educating their children, Renowned ministers like Creflo Dollar and Benny Hinn, are now bringing nutritionists to their podium, to talk to their congregation on the importance of nutrition. When Benny Hinn was asked, but you are a healing minister, isn't it bad business for you? he replied, "The primary aim of the gospel, is SALVATION, if more people are falling ill because of poor nutrition, let them be enlightened on nutrition while I do the real work I was called to do" quite thought provoking. isn't it?
Finally, we live in a world today, where people joke with their health until it gets damaged, prevention they say, is not only better than cure, but cheaper.
