When we are healthy, we take it for granted. And we do not pay attention to the fact that we do not always act in the direction of preserving this favorable state. Once lost, it is difficult to regain it. With the course of life, health problems worsen. And the root cause of this “iceberg” or, as they say, “bouquet” of problems is not always visible.

Microbes become resistant to medicines. This is the price of medicine therapy, of interfering with the internal environment of the body. So the question becomes, how do we fight infections? The answer is to clean the internal environment of the body: to observe the most useful and moderate diet. Digestion of food is a very energy-consuming process. Therefore, the most useful for the body is easily digestible food, which is as close as possible to natural, with minimal heat treatment. Our body will respond with gratitude to the maximum amount of plant products in the diet, because they pass through the food system up to three times faster than animal products and with the least energy consumption.

What is the most environmentally friendly investment - the foundation of health these days? To provide an opportunity for young families to lay the foundation of health even before the birth of children - to improve their health again in nature. Ideally, in their own kin's domain. There is another point: you can prevent the development of severe forms of toxicosis in pregnant women by excluding those foods that their body rejects. Taking care of the purity of the future mother's body, again, it is better to live closer to nature.
