Hey Radical Health Seekers 👋
In your newsletter this week, we’re highlighting 9 mind-blowing facts about health that every Radical Health Seeker needs to know.
This information might change your entire perspective on health… and make you question everything you thought to be true.
We wish this information was discussed more often in doctors’ offices and the mainstream media…
Because knowledge is the first step in making the best decisions for our health.
But before we dive in, let’s discuss another important topic:
There is a war on small farmers
The Netherlands 🇳🇱 is set to force 3000 farmers to shut down in order to comply with European Union climate change regulations.
Ireland 🇮🇪 wants to cull 200,000 cattle in order to comply with the same rules.
Now both of these countries’ emissions combined amount to less than 0.5% of total global emissions.
So it seems wild that their own governments are willing to destroy their citizens’ livelihoods, end multi-generational family farms, and damage their food security in order to comply with some rules that in the end, don’t seem like they will make much difference.
Small family farms here in America are also facing a potential wipeout, with 100,000 farms lost between 2011 and 2018.
And let’s not forget that the largest private owner of farmland is Bill Gates. We somehow doubt he will be using that land to produce regeneratively farmed beef anytime soon. 🤔
There’s never been a better time to support your local farmer. Visit the farmer’s market. Shake their hand. Give them your dollar and they will give you radical health in return!
9 mind-blowing facts every Radical Health Seeker needs to know
#1: 88% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy.
👉 Be the 12%.
#2: The average American spends 93% of their time indoors.
👉 Don’t be average.
#3: Avoiding the sun is about as likely to kill you as smoking cigarettes.
👉 Get more sun.
4: Plastic containers release as many as 4.22 million microplastic and 2.11 billion nanoplastic particles within 3 min of microwave heating. Storage at room temperature and refrigeration can also release millions to billions of microplastics and nanoplastics (link).
Bet you’re glad we only use glass bottles at Heart & Soil now 😉
👉 Ditch the plastic and store your food in glass.
5: Seed oils may cause genetic changes to the brain, including dysregulation of your ‘love’ hormone, oxytocin. Seed oils are literally making you unable to feel love. Granted, this study was in mice, but we won’t be volunteering for the human trials anytime soon. 💔
👉 Avoid seed oils like the plague.
#6: 95% of the USDA Dietary Guidelines committee members were found to have conflicts of interest (💰💰💰) to large food and pharmaceutical companies, including Kellogg’s, Abbott, Kraft and General Mills.
👉 Mainstream nutritional health authorities cannot be trusted to put your interests before the interests of food and pharmaceutical companies.
#7: The average 22 year-old male today has roughly the same testosterone levels as a 67 year old had in the year 2000.
👉 Protect and support your hormones 🛡⚔️
#8: A recent study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found exercise to be 1.5x more effective for treating mental health conditions like depression, anxiety and distress than conventional treatments such as medication and therapy.
👉Exercise is a powerful medicine and will radically improve your life.
#9: The leading cause of bankruptcy in the United States is due to medical bills.
👉 Pay your farmer now or your doctor later.
