Role of food

• food provides us with the energy we need to be able to move, collect and digest more food, to communicate, work and think, to maintain and regulate our body temperature and so on. Most of this energy becomes available during the breakdown of cells containing sugar, fat or alcohol that have primarily a Caloric function.
• We need other vital nutrients like proteins and minerals, vitamins for much more complex tasks or; maintenance, reproduction and development.

The cells which make up our bodies do not live long. Our body has to replace them at least once within every seven years, depending on their type or the function they perform. Our body looks the same, to stays like it is, nor do we feel different, yet this process goes on every day!.

Hypocrites, who is called the “Father of Medicine”, is often quoted for his well-known statement:

Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food”.

The separation  between food, medicine and drugs is in fact an artificial one. Created to protect the Western health system, patents, profits/interests. Within that system there is no room for alternatives.

The role of nutrition in health was recognized and writen down by the ancient Greeks - and probably much earlier too- who advised that food should be one's medicine.

The body seen as the vehicle on which one rides to their destination & archive her or his goals. If the body is weak or sick, one cannot function properly and cannot achieve the goals of life. Therefore, for longevity, good health.

Good nutrition a must, to stay healthy and can even help to prevent and cure from certain ailments.

There is no fun in achieving a longevity full of problems, the Greek myth of Tithonus makes the point vividly. Eos, goddess of dawn, pleaded with Zeus to grant immortality to her human lover Tithonus. Zeus granted only what they ask for. Tithonus never died but grew more and more decrepit as he aged, until Eos had to shut him in a room.

No country on earth has a larger percentage of centenarians/hundred-year-olds than Japan. Its citizens enjoy the highest average life-expectancy of all nations–79 years for men, 86 for women. But Okinawa beats even the rest of the Japanese islands by far: of 1.3 million inhabitants, roughly 600 reach the magical threshold of one hundred years and nearly all in good health and vitality.

 And topping all others, there is Ogimi, population 3,500, in the rural north of the island: 430 men and women here are older than 80, and twelve have crossed the one-hundred year mark. An Eldora do for scientists, first and foremost gerontologists, able  to compare it with the (West) experiences. More people reach a “biblical age”–in the West now; but mostly in a state of “multi-morbidity”: “plagued by a multitude of illnesses, dependent on medication, for years and years on end”, the typical risks of painful aging and premature death.

Most researchers and scientist now agree that:

The optimum nutritional micro-environment of every cell in the body is vital to achieve or restore optimal health; deficiencies in this environment cause the body to be more susceptible to diseases and degeneration.

With other words:

 Your lifestyle and dietary choices can make an enormous difference to your lifespan and to your quality of life in later years.
