Our species is tough, resilient and durable. Human expected average lifespan is now more than Eighty years in most developed countries, with more and more centenarians every year. Expanding scientific, biological and medical knowledge is showing us that there are more elements than the more obvious short-run results of diet and stress. There are also critical (and often subtle) long term results that should be taken into consideration
For example, there is a generally accepted minimum daily Vitamin C intake necessary to prevent scurvy. Once we thought that this minimum amount was all that anyone needed. Subsequent scientific studies showed us that increased Vitamin C intake had significant health and well-being benefits.
If you don’t get any Vitamin C, you will contract scurvy in a few months. There is a longer general health cycle in play, measured in years, which calls for much higher vitamin C consumption levels.
There are still longer cycles of nutrient deprivation and lifestyles involving many different nutrients, phytochemicals, antioxidants, etc. Long-term deprivations of these seem to lead to problems usually associated with aging, like diabetes, heart disease, senile dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
On the dark side there are pollutants, toxins, carcinogens and other substances, both known and as-yet-unknown, that have cumulative life-shortening effects on everyone.
Knowing this encourages us to move away from commercial drugs in favor of natural cures whenever available.
Comprehending this now helps us to better look after our bodies. It will help us to manage fibroid uterus symptoms more effectively and it helps with uterine fibroids treatment. For further details on managing fibroids, just click here .
Science marches on, bringing new understandings and suggesting new possibilities on a daily basis. As research workers continue to unravel the mysteries of how our body chemistry really works, down to the molecular level, our viewpoint and our capabilities to improve and extend human life are continuously increasing.
