Blog# 151 Healthful Nutrition Supports Strength Flexibility and Immunity
Recently, I’ve been reading and watching a lot of information about nutrition and a healthy immune system. There was one interview that I particularly appreciated, and am sharing the link to the discussion with you below. You only need to listen; watching is not necessary. And please do not read politics into this. Dr. John Campbell is from the UK and I don’t perceive him as being particularly political. His overarching concern is health in the UK, the US, and the rest of the world. However, many people need to be educated about good nutrition in order to improve their health. They don’t necessarily need to take a stand against agribusiness or big pharm, but they do need to refrain from purchasing unhealthful foods and especially need to feed their children high quality foods from animals and plants that have been nourished optimally, have not been poisoned, and have been treated humanely. (And yes, in my opinion, plants also flourish more when treated with care and respect.)

Click on the above link or plug it into a YouTube search and it should work. This is great just by itself, and I think it is worth listening to more than once.
I would recommend purchasing naturally raised, organically raised, biodynamically raised produce from farmers markets, food co-ops, or growing food yourself if you are in the fortunate position to do that. But if you can not afford organic, then at least purchase whole, locally grown foods as much as possible. It is relatively inexpensive to make your own fermented foods, such as sauerkraut and yogurt, rather than purchasing them at the store. Community gardens allow you to rent a plot and grow food there, and that can be economical if you have a sunny plot and know how to successfully raise produce. Theft by squirrels, rabbits and also humans can be a problem. Growing flowers that repel insects near your crops can help protect a garden. So can having a watch dog in the yard, if you garden at home. If you get a chance, watch how small organic farms are run. Some farmers will allow you to visit, especially if you help out for a few hours on their land.
Once again, in closing, I will direct you to watch/listen to that link above. You may not agree with absolutely everything, but much of it is common sense, when you take the time to think about it. I wish you a happy Autumn harvest time. May this winter be kind to all of us.
This blog’s offer: feel free to contact me about anything related to nutrition or to Dr. John Campbell. Wishing Harmony and Peace for us all and for the World.
