THE NEED FOR NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS
|
THE NEED FOR NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS THE NEED FOR NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS M. and I spend considerable amounts of money buying nutritional supplements each year. When I was born in 1937 there were some things people did to supplement their nutrition, but those things available were few and far between. I only remember Cod Liver Oil, and Blackstrap Molasses...... Everyone we knew had their own vegetable gardens, during the years influenced by the Second World War (from 1940 to '45 or '46), when many food items were in short supply because of the need to send food to millions of soldiers and starving people in Europe and Russia. My father was an only who had grown up on a 40 acre truck farm fifty miles North of New York City. Much of the produce grown on the farm was sold by my grandfather to small shops and stores in the Big Apple. My father detested the idea of being a farmer, and after HIS father died, got rid of the farm.. He then became a technician working for Remington Rand, and was trained in the operation and repair of the UNIVAC, the world's first computer. Part of the childhood training as a farmer my father received, stayed with him, even though he never went back to farming in any large way. During the years I lived at home, my father always had a large vegetable garden, and we also always raised our own chickens, rabbits, and geese. All our eggs and weekly chicken dinners, together with our vegetables were supplied by our own efforts and were free of pesticides and harmful ingrediants. Our home was heated by wood during my early years, and the wood ashes, chicken, rabbit, and geese droppings, together with vegetable clippings, etc. went into the production of the garden's compost... On this diet of home grown food, I thrived and became a very healthy little rug rat, and later an exploring, always horny little brat. During those years from the early 1930's until the mid 1950's, before I went off to college, and then joined the Army Infantry and went off to post war Germany, I ate the food that supplied all the nutrients a human needed to maintain good health. NOW, when we flip through the pages of TIME---- M. and I grow nothing. Everything we eat comes from the super market. There's no doubt in either one of our minds that the food we eat today is by far, inferior to the food I had as a growing back so many years ago. This story of mine may be similar to yours. If it is, I encourage you to seek out a good nutritional supplement and take those capsules daily... In today's world our food is far inferior to what it was only fifty years ago. I suspect that as time rolls by, laboratories will be producing more and more scientifically assembled chemicals to feed us with. This sounds like a horrible example of our changing world, but...one can't argue with statistics, and the fact's are, we human's are living longer now than ever in the history of the world. At the turn of the last century, the human lifespan was only in the low end of forty, and today the lifespan of men is upwards of 80. by david stardust... Saturday....June 27th, 2015...   |

I envy you your garden, HC. M. sometimes grows a few cherrie tomatoes for us, but that's about all. I imagine the food you grow is at least ten times better for you than comparable things you can buy in the supermarket. The people I got my new Chesapeake Bay Retriever from have piped in water from the 29 Palms Water District, and they grow all sorts of vegetables. They also have chickens, a milk goat, an old horse, and two of their own dogs along with all sorts of small trees and bushes... When I take Lou over to visit them, the woman always gives me a basket full of fresh vegetables.

I think about nutrition and multivitamins in a similar way. Like you, I've never been sick nor hospitalized, and look forward to going on into ancient age free of many of the diseases that strike down others. Again, like you, I don't know if the nutrients I take, are the cause of my good health, but I don't have any desire to stop taking them to see what happens to my old body, lol... I thank you for commenting on my post... david

Good for you for being so optimistic about your current health conditions, Lovely Chocolate! Being aware, that sadly, we can no longer get all the nutrients our bodies require to fully function from our food is a step into the real world and the way things are. You're always on my mind, david
