There
are several reasons for this. One of them is that many Americans change
their diets too frequently. All these different foods confuse the
body. Obviously, wealth is not always equated with health. (A
more detailed answer to this question is found in Dr. Hanna's books).
WHY
IS AMERICA ONE OF THE WEALTHIEST NATIONS YET ONE OF THE SICKEST?
Dr. Hanna has traveled
the globe in search of the keys to vitality and longevity that so
many poor people outside the United States seem to embrace. Many of
these people, with far less resources than we have in America, live
well into their 100s. These people all share common habits from generation
to generation, they eat the same kind of food, which is home-cooked
and unprocessed.
WHY
ARE AMERICANS DEVELOPING DISEASE SO FAST TODAY?
Most Americans are
not getting the essential nutrients necessary to prevent disease or
rebuild cells after a disease process has begun. Processed foods,
which make up most people's diets, are lacking in vitamins, enzymes,
antioxidants and are very difficult to digest. Accordingly, we accumulate
dangerous toxins in our bodies from these processed foods that are
indigestible.
WHY
CAN'T WE GET PROPER NUTRIENTS TO PROTECT US FROM DISEASE THROUGH OVER
THE COUNTER VITAMINS AND MINERALS?
For
over 50 years, people have been using supplementation. However, they
are still developing disease. Why? During our lifetimes, everybody
develops healthy cells within their organs-as well as weak, sick and
old cells. These particular cells, weak, sick and old cells, cannot
recognize, absorb, digest or metabolize nutrients from food that we
ingest, let alone from synthetic vitamins and minerals.
WHAT
CAN WE DO TO HELP PROTECT OUR BODIES FROM DISEASE AND BECOME HEALTHY?
We need to feed
these weak, sick and old cells with nutrients which will be recognizable,
absorbable, digestible and easily metabolized. The kind of nutrients
that will help these cells are found in specially prepared raw vegetables
and raw or native protein. (You can view recipes of these types of
native proteins in Dr. Hanna's The Food Cream
Book.) Ideally, the best kinds of nutrients to nourish your body
would be from healthy foods and proteins that have been eaten from
generation to generation. For example, the type of foods and proteins
that your grandmother prepared from her own recipes.
