What the Health - Why What We Eat Matters More Than Our Genetics

1/13/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
What the Health is a film that explores the role diet plays in creating chronic and deadly health conditions. Film maker Kip Andersen goes on a journey to determine whether diet can prevent and even reverse disease. Along the way he uncovers the connections between leading health organizations (such as Susan G. Koman, American Heart Association, etc.) and the food companies that offer the food that can lead to disease. 

Like many shockumentaries What the Health is filled with amazing facts that most people just do not know but should. The facts in this film are centered around the negative impacts of eating things we think are healthy. While What the Health does point viewers in the right direction, there are a couple of misleading items in the film that should be mentioned. The first one is the idea that sugar does not play a role in disease. To learn more about the negative effects of sugar check out our blog post 4 Health Impacts of Sugar. The second is the overarching idea that cholesterol is bad. To learn more about cholesterol check out our book review Cholesterol -  Friend or Foe?

​Overall this film is loaded with eye opening health data. As with any health information you learn please be sure to do your own research and check with your doctor before making any changes to your health routine including diet and exercise. ​

Watch "The Secret: Dare to Dream" for an Opportunity to Change Your Life

With all the chaos, change, and uncertainty we are experiencing in our world today, our mindset is the one thing that is within our control. Viktor Frankl* said:
 
“Everything can be taken from a man {person} but one thing: the last of the human freedoms-to choose one’s attitude {mindset} in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
 
Our mindset impacts our health and wellbeing. Using mindfulness we can examine our mindset. We first need to become aware of how and what we are thinking about our circumstances. Then we can choose how we want to think about the circumstances we are experiencing as well as how we want to respond to them. Reframing our mindset can lead to attracting better things into our lives invoking the “law of attraction. The “law of attraction” is the idea that we attract the things we think about. Our mindset is not only a cornerstone to our health and wellness but it is also a key to a better future. What does the law of attraction have to do with The Secret: Dare to Dream?

GMO OMG - Our generation's greatest human experiment

3/31/2017

0 Comments

 
From the first scene to the very end GMO OMG opens your eyes to an understanding of the impact of GMOs. The opening scene narrative is this poem:

"The Peace of Wild Things"
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief.
I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars 
waiting with their light.
For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
-Wendell Berry

Resistance is an eye-opening film about the use of antibiotics. It explores how overuse of antibiotics in the form of prescriptions  from doctors to use in farm animals has allowed a resurgence of bacteria that is resistant to antibiotics. Those antibiotic resistant bacteria are now harming humans. The effects range anywhere from limiting function to death. We need to be aware of the potential risks from over use of antibiotic prescriptions, products with antibacterials (soaps, lotions, cleaners, etc.) and food that has been treated with antibiotics. We are inundated with antibiotics that may some day be the death of us...

Vitality Movie - take back control of your health and vitality!

2/10/2017

0 Comments

 
Vitality explores the underpinnings of what it really means to be well and live fully. The cast of doctors and health care providers provide insight on what the medical profession was meant to do and how it's falling short of those original aspirations. For example they say that being a doctor has changed from teaching people how to be well to writing a prescription that in most cases causes more symptoms. In fact, it's stated that for every $1 spent on a prescription, we spend $1.85 to treat the side effects of the drug!

"vitality is not nearly the absence of disease, it means living life fully and being able to enjoy our days with our loved ones."

Can increasing plants in your diet improve health? PlantPure Nation

12/2/2016

0 Comments

 
PlantPure Nation presents a compelling story about why increasing our consumption of plants can improve our health and in some cases reverse chronic illness. This documentary also uncovers the reasons behind why the US government does not advocate for a plant based nutritional approach to diets. Even if you do not support a vegetarian approach to diets and nutrition, this documentary does offer some very insightful information about our food, our health, and alternatives to preventing and mitigating chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, etc. The China study is the foundation for the information presented and for the subsequent pilot programs that were conducted when creating this documentary. The participants in the very short pilots programs were astonished by the positive impacts on their health. Perhaps it worth a try to see how a PlantPure diet can improve your health too!

The Human Experiment - Protect your family from everyday health dangers by learning what they are!

11/4/2016

0 Comments

 
We've all heard of chemicals that were used in the past that we later find out are extremely harmful to our health. Examples include asbestos, lead based paint, formaldehyde, mercury, BPAs, fluoride, and flame retardants. Some of these chemicals are still in use today and causing irreparable harm to our health. This film highlights the struggle to stop manufacturers from using chemicals that are known to cause health issues and chemicals that are still untested and therefore the damage they cause is yet unknown. Throughout the film you follow community advocates against the use of these chemicals in our products. The premise that the burden of proof that a chemical is safe should be on the manufacture and upheld by government is a takeaway message from this film. In the end the film highlights the hope in new generations of ethical chemists and improved chemists educational programs being developed in top schools.

10/7/2016

0 Comments

 
Consumed is an interesting portrayal of a family faced with trying to determine the root cause of a young boy's illness. After hospital stays, doctor visits, and even specialists input, one mother is faced with the reality that GMOs might be at the root of her son's chronic illness. Viewers follow along as this family seeks to find out the truth about the safety of GMOs. Rather than a traditional documentary, Consumed is more like a Hollywood movie staring well known actors. The movie is a wonderful reminder that GMOs are still too new and there is still not enough evidence for them to be considered safe.
