America is in a nutrient famine, as result, according to the CDC or the center for disease control, 6 out of 10 people in America have a chronic disease, Most Americans are sick. And it is killing more people than any pandemic. In 2017, a total 1.7 million people died from 5 diseases that are preventable, Heart disease, Cancer, Respiratory diseases, Stroke and Alzheimer Scientific Fact: Our DNA does not Control Our Health & Life Span. Our Choices Determine Our Health & Life Span We are talking about getting out of the Nutrient Famine and living in the Blue Zone. The Blue Zones are Communities in the world where people have an average life and health span of over 100 years. We ID the 4 key traits of these communities. The foundation was having mostly a fresh plant-based diet. But Good Health requires both Quantity and Quality and there is very little “Nutrient Security” in America. In America 40 million people get some form of food poisoning every year. And now, the FDA just suspended inspecting all food both foreign and domestic. Last week, we begin to discuss water. Anything that is alive is at least 70% water. In fact, I said with a brain that is 80% water, we are water beings. Scientific studies show that the water you consume from plants can hydrate the body twice as effectively as a glass of water. Plants structure water. Cucumbers, lettuce, celery, tomatoes, zucchini, spinach, kale, broccoli, strawberries, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, peaches, oranges, pineapple, apples, and watermelon - These are examples of vegetables and fruits that are 90% or more water. Cucumber’s water content is 96.73% and is a source of potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, and a small amount of calcium. But it also contains a phytonutrient which some evidence suggests could have an antidiabetic effect. Eating your water could help prevent diabetes. What about the watermelon. Well, it is around 90% water and it also provides essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and many phytonutrients. In a 2012 study, researchers found that watermelon extract reduced blood pressure in middle-aged people with obesity and early hypertension. The authors suggested that L-citrulline and L-arginine — two of the phytonutrients in watermelon — may improve the function of the arteries.In a study in 2017 researchers suggested that the Lycopene and other phytonutrients in watermelon — may help protect against heart disease and prostate cancer. Research expect that the Choline in watermelon contributes to muscle movement, learning and memory, the transmission of nerve impulses, and early brain development. One theory even suggests that choline may help slow the progression of dementia in Alzheimer’s disease.A 2014 mouse study concluded that watermelon’s diuretic action might be as effective as that of furosemide, which is a well-known diuretic. This could make it a natural option for people with excess fluid such as swollen ankles.Structured water/plant water is critical for combing with light to create energy in cells.The same hydration that helps the brain maintain memory and thought, also helps amino acids cross the blood brain barrier. One of these amino acids, tryptophan, converts to serotonin within the brain. Dehydration can limit the amount of tryptophan that can cross the blood brain barrier, resulting in less serotonin. Since serotonin is linked to a positive mood, inadequate hydration can result in feelings often associated with depression. When I started this journey 5 years ago scientist had discovered less than 5,000 phytonutrients. Now they have id 25,000. After a planted is harvested it loses water, vitamins, minerals and most of the phytonutrients with each passing day. You need to drink water but eating a lot of your water is better for you. But what you eat has to be nutrient fresh. Life in the Blue Zone is a choiceRemember It is rarely our DNA or our family history, its mostly wh
