Hello, everyone.
I welcome you to my blog and another wonderful edition of the Hive Learner's featured post. During the time of our forefathers they did not have the option to choose between either eating natural food or artificial or processed food, they also did not have the option to choose how their body lotion is prepared as everything was made from completely natural ingredients and materials unlike what we have today where chemicals both the harmful and the good are put together to produce what we apply on our skin and they all end up causing us more harm than actual good.
Today, due to the advancement and evolution of technology, we have options to choose either artificial or natural. Today we have technology that provides us with things that we can use to replace or in place of the natural. Today, we have processed foods and that has completely replaced natural foods and only a few people still try to prepare natural food as they are more stressful to prepare and takes longer time before it is ready while already processed food takes little to time to be prepared and since we are all lazy, we would always choose already processed since it is easier to prepare.
Our forefathers enjoyed everything natural, and they enjoyed good health and lived longer than us who have all the technology and the advancement to make our lives better, but instead of making lives better and helping us live longer, it is making them better and shorter. The generation before us had people live over a 100 years and were still healthy and that is because they consumed more of natural foods and used natural things for their body but our generation don't live that long anymore as we have recorded very high cancer rate, high vital organs failure rate, this generation suffer from one disease to another causing us not to live as long as the generation before us.
We don't ask ourselves why it is so. One of the contributing factors is the fact that we are trying to eliminate natural and replace it with artificial or man-made. Most of the already processed foods we eat have plenty of preservatives added to them, and when we consume too much of them, they end up causing our health to deteriorate. Some of the creams and body lotions we use to bleach our skin colour and force us to go from one colour to another, hurt the skin that comes back to haunt us. I completely agree when they say natural is the best, I don't even try to argue that.
No, artificial cannot replace natural and work perfectly; there will be lapses. Though there are some artificial that can replace natural and work perfectly for one person but have lapses when it comes to another person, I was in an air conditioned bus traveling from Owerri to Cross River, since it was air conditioned they had to close all the windows and while the rest of us were enjoying it a woman amongst us was not she kept complaining that the air conditioner in the bus was making her dizzy and uncomfortable as she feels like she is getting suffocated, we thought it was a joke until she started throwing up.
The air conditioner in the bus was turned off, and the windows opened so we could enjoy the natural air, and we all enjoyed it with no complaints from anyone. Artificial replacing natural can work perfectly for one and not the other, and that causes it to have lapses, while natural is best and better enjoyed by all.
