Nutrition and Physical Degeneration
The book,
Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, is a masterpiece that was
written by Dr. Weston A. Price several decades ago. The book was first
published in 1939 and though old, it is still very readable and
enjoyable. This book was re-created with the intention of preserving the
classic study of the work Dr. Price put into investigating the negative
effects of processed foods.
Besides
discussing about the bad effects of processed foods, Dr. Price also
mentions all of the disastrous effects synthetic farming methods have on
human health in this book, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration.
He has also done some investigation about the promise of regeneration
which he has found out to be very much possible through sound nutrition.
On reading this book, its guidelines provide the necessary information
wherein it is possible to reach optimum health and reproduction for
future generations as it was then possible to primitive societies.
Dr. Price
has always been recognized as a universal figure and a great authority
on the importance of whole foods in their natural form. Dr. Price has
also imparted his knowledge about the development of degenerative
illnesses that arise with the inclusion of processed foods in the diet
included in the book. All 524 pages of the book Nutrition and
Physical Degeneration contain interesting information on the
nutrition of food, and its degeneration over the past several years. It
took more than ten years for Dr. Price to conduct research to gather
information about different diseases and food nutrition. When examining
young patients, it was their teeth that interested Dr. Price the most.
This is because he found that crowded and crooked teeth were steadily on
the rise. Even facial deformities like narrowed faces and pinched
nostrils are more common today, than in past years.
Dr. Price
had also noted that children also had more complaints today pertaining
to allergies, anemia, infections, poor vision, fatigue and behavioral
problems. Seeing all of this, Dr. Price did not believe that all of this
seemingly natural degeneration was the work of God. To him, the cause of
all of this was insufficient and poor nutrition on our parts.
So as part
of the research for the book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration,
Dr. Price visited isolated parts of the earth where these parts had no
contact whatsoever with civilization, and it is basically all of the
photos that he took on these visits and his views of what he found in
these places, together with startling conclusions, that Dr. Price
included in his book, Nutrition and Physical Degeneration.
Upon
reading Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, the outlook of
people on the world tends to change. This is because Dr. Price provides
astounding information through his research and findings in the book. He
found that people living in isolated locations did not have much
tooth decay, dental crowding or any other occlusions to complain of.
Surprisingly that though these people lived in harsh environments, they
did not have any diseases or any health problems!
According
to the opinion of modern science, it was only people of certain races
who tend to suffer from certain abnormalities, however, Dr. Price has
managed to prove this theory incorrect in his book. He did this by
proving that it was the children who were born to parents who had
adopted modern, junk food diets that were more prone to deformities.
This is mainly because of the additives, chemicals and preservatives
added to modern junk food.
To prove
his point, Dr. Price even collected samples of food from those isolated
places and found that these diets had at least four times more of the
minerals and vitamins than American diets offer. So with all of this
proof, you learn from Dr. Price that physical degeneration of the body
is very much related to poor nutrition.
