WHO: Diet, Nutrition and Prevention of Chronic Diseases

At the most basic level, our survival is dependent on healthy food and even more basic is the nutrient levels contained within. LIMU Brand dietary supplements are packed with what our body's need to not only survive, but thrive.

From the World Health Organization:

"Facts

• Up to 2.7 million lives could be saved annually with sufficient fruit and vegetable consumption.

• Low fruit and vegetable intake is among the top 10 selected risk factors for global mortality.

• Worldwide, insufficient intake of fruit and vegetables is estimated to cause around 14% of gastrointestinal cancer deaths, about 11% of ischaemic heart disease deaths and about 9% of stroke deaths.

• Low fruit and vegetable intake is among the top 10 risk factors contributing to attributable mortality, according to evidence presented in World Health Report 2003. Up to 2.7 million lives could potentially be saved each year with sufficient global fruit and vegetable consumption. Fruits and vegetables as part of the daily diet could help prevent major noncommunicable diseases (NCD) such as cardiovascular diseases and certain cancers. Eating a variety of vegetables and fruits clearly ensures an adequate intake of most micronutrients, dietary fibres and a host of essential non-nutrient substances. As well, increased fruit and vegetable consumption can help displace foods high in saturated fats, sugar or salt.

• Worldwide, low intake of fruits and vegetables is estimated to cause about 19% of gastrointestinal cancer, about 31% of ischemic heart disease and 11% of stroke. Of the global burden attributable to low fruit and vegetable consumption, about 85% was from cardiovascular disease (CVD) and 15% from cancers. The estimated levels of current fruit and vegetable intake vary considerably around the world ranging from less than 100g/day in less developed countries, to about 450 g/day in Western Europe.

A recent WHO/FAO expert consultation report on diet, nutrition and prevention of chronic diseases, sets population nutrient goals and recommends intake of a minimum of 400 g of fruits and vegetables per day for the prevention of chronic diseases such as heart diseases, cancer, diabetes and obesity. The report states that there is convincing evidence that fruits and vegetables decrease the risk for obesity, and evidence that they probably decrease the risk of diabetes. Further, there is convincing evidence that fruit and vegetables lower the risk for CVD. (The report specifies that the tubers, e.g. potatoes, cassava, should not be included in fruits and vegetables.)

A high-level international review on fruit and vegetable consumption and cancer risk, coordinated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), concluded that eating fruits and vegetables may lower the risk of cancer, particularly cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. IARC estimates that the preventable fraction of cancer due to low fruit and vegetable intake falls into the range of 5-12 % and up to 20-30% for upper gastro-intestinal tract cancers world-wide.

WHO’s mandate

WHO’s mandate is to improve public health around the world with particular emphasis on decreasing inequalities in health. In May 2002, WHO was requested by the Member States to develop a Global Strategy on Diet, Physical Activity and Health in the context of the rising burden of chronic diseases. During a series of regional consultations to develop the strategy, Member States stressed to WHO the importance of working proactively with them to assist in increasing the consumption of fruit and vegetables. With this obligation and the above-cited scientific base, WHO aims to actively promote an increase in fruit and vegetable intake worldwide, especially in developing countries. Incorporation of fruit and vegetable consumption as part of national noncommunicable disease (NCD) prevention and school health programmes is a central aim."

The Town of Nogood


The Town of Nogood

My friend, have you heard of the town of Nogood,
On the banks of the River Slow,
Where blooms the Waitawhile flower fair,
Where Sometimeorother scents the air,
And the soft Goeasies grow?

It lies in the Valley of Whatstheuse,
In the Province of Letterslide.
That Tiredfeeling is native there,
It's the home of the reckless Idontcare,
Where the Giveitups abide.

It stands at the bottom of Lazyhill,
And easy to reach, I declarre;
You've only to fold up your hands and glide
Down the slope of Weakwill's toboggan slide
To be landed quickly there.

The town is as old as the human race
And it grows with the flint of years.
It is wrapped in the fog of idler's dreams,
Its streets are paved with discarded schemes,
And sprinkled with useless tears.

The Collegebred fool and the Richman's heir
Are plentiful there, no doubt.
The rest of its crowd are a motley crew,
With every class except one in view-
The Foolkiller is barred out.

The town of Nogood is all hedged about
By the mountains of Despair.
No sentinelstands on its gloomy walls,
No trumpet to battle and triumph calls,
For cowards alone are there.

My friend, from the dead-alive town Nogood
If you would keep far away,
Just follow your duty through good and ill,
Take this for your motto, "I can, I will,"
And live up to it each day.

W. E. Penny

 

I've been so busy lately that I thought a bit of poetry break was in order. A whimsical prose, yes, but I do enjoy the Poe like setting that this fable paints as it's real life ramifications of being in a place just such as this would be one well indeed to miss.  

Have a Great day filled with blessings of joy and peace with enlightenment and prosperity alway!

Mind Roads: Breathing

Speaking of mind roads, my daughter asked a very good question just the other night.

“Mom, when you breathe does your tummy go in or out with each breath you take in?”

I had to really think about the answer. “Well, the Proper way is to have the belly push out a little on inhale and then go down on the exhale.”

“Good. Then I’m doing it right.” She said with a smile.

“I’m really proud of You,” I told her. “Did You know that I was in my late 30’s before I learned that my breathing was all wrong? This is cool that Your brain already has been taught the Right way. This will come in handy in Your adult life when stress gets too high. Just do Your breathing the right way and the body will tell the mind that You are relaxed.”

“Well, I used to watch Papa breathing all the time when we sat on the sofa together. That’s how he breathes.”

“I’m glad that You were paying attention and learned this very important tool so now that You are a teenager, that road will be paved into a super highway and You will never have to Think about breathing again.”

Yes, something seemingly “simple” as breathing is actually a complex network of roads to be mapped out & paved into the weaving of the mind.

As babies, this mechanism of life is automatic; just watch one sleep. Their bellies rise up when the inhale deeply, then lower as the exhale and then they hold their breath for a few moments to start the process all over again.

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome occurs when the brain or body “forgets” to start the process over again.

The forgetting is due to that particular road not being cleared out all the way. For some reason it gets hung up the debris littering the way (unformed brain cells & functions) and simply stops where it’s at.

As we grow older we learn to adjust and adapt to our surrounding environments. Our brains get more materials to work with ~ cells & mass capable of carrying, forwarding and retrieving the myriad of information taken in everyday.

Nutrition, of course, plays a Huge part in this.

In my case, i had altered my breathing pattern by an early age.

When I was 10-12 years old we went to Park Point Beach right across the street from Grampa’s house at the foot of the Arial Lift Bridge in Duluth, MN. All I can remember about that day is being at home with a decent size piece of glass lodged deep into my heel.

As I laid on Mom and Dad’s bed while he dug it out with tweezers and a needle, and she was holding me in a half cuddle, half straddled so I couldn’t move, i started my “new” breathing technique that i taught Myself sometime earlier but it all came back.

I would suck the air deep in my lungs until they hurt, then I would hold the breath for as long as I possibly could before letting it out to start this backwards process over and over again as my hands drew up in fists.

For how long did this go on? I have no idea.

The piece of glass out, a splash of some antiseptic and they turned me over to find a severely hyperventilated child whose hands were balled up so tight, not even my “motor head” Dad could loosen when locked up nuts & bolts posed no problem.

We came out, sat on the sofa and i got to have Oreo’s ™ and milk as my parents each had a hand to massage while they spoke softly to me – i don’t think I responded for I cannot remember what they said.

So, this was the beginning of my adolescence and the way i trained my mind to respond to adversity – and teenagers always have a problem. LOL

Soon though because this was the road I was laying down to take for breathing, it became the dominate one, then the Only one. In effect I retrained my brain to do exactly the Opposite of what it new how to do and was Supposed to do.

It wasn’t until 3 years into my journey 2BRecoverED that I found out i was doing it all wrong. It took me months and months of practice everyday, in all sorts of situations especially around feeding times to even be able to do it well.

It was a few more months when in the middle of dinner I looked down at my self to see my belly rising as I felt the breath go in. Sure enough, the breath left without a fuss as my tummy went back down. I was amazed!

“I’m doing it!” I shouted then waited for it to happen again. “I’m really doing it!”

“Doing what?” Husband & Daughter asked.

“My breathing, look it’s working right,” and demonstrated for them too.

“Oh.” They both said kind of perplexed. “That’s good!” they responded cheerily.

The neuropathways in the brain are already started in the womb and start to be sown & hewn with plenty of nutrients and good information coming in.

The fact that my daughter has Mastered the “art of breathing” by age 14 fills me with a Certainty beyond Hope that she will indeed excel faster & farther to achieve her dreams and goals.

She fills me with Hope for my tomorrows. In her I see just how important LIMU is for the development of the brain which allows the mind to expand and reach new heights as it pushes the limits of body and very thoughts.


The roads of the mind are not forgotten or lost, just overgrown and covered with sticks & moss, easily cleared away with a clean and healthy supply of blood rushing in daily to flood all the debris out and away from the body.

Old roads retrieved, new building permits received, the work begins anew right where it left off when LIMU shots are taken.


Blessings of peace and health enlightenment and prosperity to You alway!
