Reviewing the state of being human means allowing ourselves to look directly at the fact that we have three major bodily survival processes to our species.
They are:
1.) Intake/output (food / water),
2.) Breathing, and
3.) Sex, none of which we have been highly educated on throughout our present evolution.
Today there is research and knowledge that helps us know how much we still need to know.
We do not have a focus on foods and their nutritional value and resources. There is a constant emphasis on weight, being thin and fitting a social size, instead of health as the focus. So the marketplace for an adult is a huge selection of books of perspectives on how to be thin. Facts about the body’s needs of nutrition were not there when our major growth and body development from birth through childhood was happening. Parents ate whatever ethnic food conditioning they had or what they could afford.
Water. We know so little about how vital water is to us that we are slowly but surely destroying its availability. Did anyone tell you when growing up that your physical body consists of over 70% water? That you need to keep hydrated? Water was not determined by amount, but by demand, and if you had been drinking other liquids, then chances are you did not know your body was dehydrated! Liquid was the thing, to drink coffee, pop, anything but water! The fact is, many of those liquids create dehydration. Water is what the body needs. Good water, clean water, drinkable water, and lots of it.
