The Times We Live In and What Fundamentally Affects Our Health

We live in an industrially polluted environment, we are surrounded by a range of negative emotions, we live in constant stress, we often eat poorly, and we lack exercise. Our lives are focused on success and performance, which have become the main values of today's consumer era. We surround ourselves with comfort and want to live ever better. But all this comes at a price – the number of sick people.

The consequence of our modern lifestyle are various so-called civilization diseases such as osteoarthritis, rheumatism, sagging internal organs, chronic constipation, digestive problems, allergies, asthma, diabetes, headaches, impotence, menstrual pains, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, depression, and many other health problems.

We continuously ingest toxic substances, both from the air and from food and drink. We use more and more drugs, we smoke, and we drink alcohol. All the toxic substances we ingest disturb our body's balance and weaken our immune system. In addition to mental stress, these toxic substances are also the cause of increased formation of free radicals in the body. If these are not eliminated from the body, they are toxic and after a certain time lead to tissue destruction. It is proven that osteoarthritis and heart disease have their cause in the destructive effect of free radicals on connective (joint), vascular, and heart tissue.

Drugs prescribed by a doctor or purchased in pharmacies and health food stores often help alleviate these difficulties. However, these drugs cause new problems with their side effects. Also, some herbs with their specific therapeutic properties can help us. However, just like modern drugs, these individual herbs can be harmful to our body in case of long-term use. The reason is most often their low quality due to untraditional and unclear sources.
