Very interesting post, @gadrian. To answer your question:
'What do you think about food supplements? Do you use them? What for?"
Yes. For improving basic health, as without your health, what are you doing instead? 🤷♂️Just common sense, although ... How "common" it is might be considered a worthy debate, if one just looks around here in America ... 😉
The fundamental question is what you touch on in your post - what is happening to the nutritional content of our food? Definitely on the decline here ... An excellent book on this topic? This one is highly recommended - "Good Energy"
With our recent election results, this topic (of your post) will be hotly debated here in America for some time to come. "Elections have consequences!" Yep. We'll see how it goes.
That's how I see it too. You see areas where you are lacking. You might be able to correct it by choosing the right foods, but nowadays, I have my doubts some foods are what they should be for our body, even when we talk about base ingredients.
That's where food supplements could help. Thanks for the book recommendation.
I'm assuming the two sides have opposite opinions about the use of food supplements. I don't have a problem with that. Tell the side which doesn't like them to make better food, and I'd be ok with that.
"Good Energy" does a brilliant (IMHO) job of highlighting the root causes of the chronic diseases which historically were all but unknown to mankind, e.g. heart disease, diabetes, etc.
So, the whole spectrum of our problems is covered, starting with regenerative farming practices to restore the nutritional content of our food to historic levels (where food supplements were / are unnecessary) to a complete overhaul of our medical services to focus more on what we might (overly?) simplistically refer to us "preventative maintenance," when there is so much corruption associated with maintaining the status quo ...
The disruptive, transformational character of the team of people Trump has selected for key positions all must first get past our Senate confirmation process. We don't have long to wait to find out how that goes and what forces are arrayed to prevent them from ever getting started on what has been proposed ...
Tying these two (above) points together, earlier this summer we witnessed a Senate hearing, chaired by Ron Johnson (Senator from Wisconsin) which featured people like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. "Everyone" knows who he is. Is that who Senator Johnson credited with the inspiration behind his pulling the hearing together? No! He credited his reading of the book of Dr. Casey Means now brought to your (and anyone who reads this) attention - "Good Energy." She also was there and spoke briefly. If Kennedy survives his Senate confirmation process, Dr. Casey Means will almost certainly be a name which the American people will become far more familiar with in the not too distant feature.
An interesting time we live in, no doubt about it!!
Wow, I'm really behind from what's going on in America. We have our own tumults over here that captured my attention to some degree. The world is changing in various ways... Let's hope for the better, because we've seen it before and we'll probably see it again that not all changes are good just because they change something old. Thanks for the clarifications!
