About 180
Have a salad instead of a steak. Eat 3-5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Eat 6-11 servings of grains per day. Make sure to get plenty of fiber in your diet. Wear your sunscreen and try to stay out of the sun. Replace butter with vegetable oils. Do lots of cardiovascular exercise. Sterilize everything. Don’t eat undercooked meats. Eat as little as possible. Eat only lean meats, if you eat any meat at all. Take your vitamins. Eat the whites but not the yolk. Drink your skim milk. Get your daily soy protein. As I reviewed many of these common recommendations that the mainstream health authorities suggest, it became clear what the vision of this site would become – a 180 to our standard health advice. Under close scrutiny from either a historical, a scientific, or a logical perspective – few of these recommendations are useful. Many are completely wrong, foolish, and dangerous if followed by a person seeking to improve his or her health. They are based, not upon understanding or fact, but on weak correlations, misinterpretations of science, and outdated assumptions. The number 180 also implies going in the other direction, and what could be more appropriate than doing exactly that – seeing that virtually every known illness is increasing at a rapid rate? Diabetes up 50% from 1990 to 1998 in the U.S. Chances of Autism have gone from 1 in 10,000 to less than 1 in 100 in some parts of Great Britain – a trend that’s being witnessed worldwide. Asthma, allergies, autoimmune disease, cancer, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, depression, mental retardation, tooth decay and crooked teeth, infectious disease – all are seeing dramatic and unanticipated increases across the globe. And of course obesity. No one could have predicted how big of an epidemic it has become – and its prevalence is accelerating greater than ever. But there is hope. There are answers that produce results in ways that the standard advice and normal courses of treatment simply can’t. The time has come for drastic revisions in the way we define a healthy diet, a healthy lifestyle, and human health in general. It is time to open up to new strategies, new ideas, and new understanding. It is time to step in and replace the mistaken assumptions that have a foothold in the minds of everyone who has been educated about such things. It is time that the ‘alarming trends’ in mental, physical, and emotional health be halted and reversed. It is time for a 180. Now. Will you join us?
