The media has focused on isolation and wearing masks as solutions to control the coronavirus we know as Covid 19. Other recommendations include washing of hands and using sanitizers. Little attention is given to the #1 problem which involves the immune response and resistance to disease. Countless press releases point to Japan, South Korea, and various countries in Europe as examples of how to stop the virus. They claim that scientific evidence proves that masks and/or isolation are the best ways to combat it. What they fail to mention is that both Korea and Japan have a much healthier population with a lot less diabetes and pre-diabetes. Many doctors suggest that the population here is over 50% prediabetic or diabetic which severely affects a person’s immune response.
If we focused on warning people about the dangers of sugar and processed food, we would not only help to curtail the spread of the virus, but we would also improve the general health of the whole population. Studies are showing that one of the main causes of heart disease, pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, fatty liver disease, and now dementia and other cognitive disorders is Sugar and its cousin processed carbohydrate. Empty calories such as white bread are pure starch and will be converted into sugar by enzymes such as Amylase in the mouth. Another dangerous manufactured sweetener is High Fructose Corn Syrup which is linked to fatty liver disease and insulin-resistant diabetes.
Did you know that there is a “cure” for early cognitive disorders such as dementia? The solution is to motivate the person to get daily exercise, sleep, and nutritive foods without sugar. This solution illustrates the danger of the couch-potato diet and lifestyle that many in America follow especially in this time of Covid 19. Heart disease and other circulatory problems can also be reversed with a good diet and exercise. So why is the media not emphasizing the regimen of a disciplined healthy lifestyle? Sleep disorders also cause a lot of stress on the heart, mind, and other organs. Sleep deprivation can initiate a cascade of inflammation and tissue or organ failure. Read more about the danger of Sugar –except for one Super Sugar that the FDA allows being labeled “sugar-free” even though it is 100% sugar….but a good sugar that your body produces and stores in the Mitochondria: it is called Xylitol and my book Dentistry Xposed devotes a lot of time to help you understand how it helps your teeth, mouth, esophagus, brain, heart, pancreas, and your colon. The book will save your life and your wallet….
There is another important factor in good health and that is having dood relationships. Gratitude, faith, love, hope, and prayer help the individual overcome anxiety, fear, doubt, depression, and even pain. Just sharing inner passions and thoughts with others motivates us to move forward into a healing process.
