Our species is tough, resilient and durable. Human expected average lifespan is now over 80 years generally in most developed countries, together with a greater number of centenarians each year. Broadening scientific, biological and health-related knowledge is now teaching us all that there are actually more elements than the easier obvious short term outcomes of diet and stress. In addition there are important (and often subtle) long-run effects that should often be considered

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. But the goal in nutrition is not just to avoid obvious short-term vitamin-deficiancy diseases. It is to promote optimum health, energy levels and well being. For that we need many times the scurvy-prevention level of Vitamin C intake.

There are still longer cycles of nutrient deprivation and lifestyles involving many different nutrients, phytochemicals, antioxidants, etc. These deprivations can lead to diabetes, circulatory problems, heart disease and maybe alzheimer’s disease and others.

We also know now that numerous pollutants (like lead and mercury) and certain substances found in processed foods (like trans fats, nitrates and certain preservatives) have long-term life-shortening effects on everyone.

Knowing this encourages us to move away from commercial drugs in favor of natural cures whenever these are available.

Understanding this now allows us to effectively avoid fibroid surgery, find the best psoriasis diet and effect ovarian cyst removal effectively..

Science marches on, bringing new understandings and suggesting new possibilities every day. As researchers continue to unravel the secrets of how our body chemistry really works, down to the molecular level, our viewpoint and our capabilities to improve and prolong human life are constantly improving.
