I was looking for a forum to post this and thought, hmp, I bet permies is a great place to.
I was thinking about nature and thinking about the human body lately - and I was thinking, do we REALLY need supplements? I don't think animals in nature are living off supplements, all I see is nature living off the bare minimum. I don't see bunnies brewing up concoctions XD lol
Here's where I'm using observation or pattern recognition maybe. In a pattern sense, you could say it's a pattern that natural life tends to just eat whatever they can eat, and get by just like that... but humans on the other hand go WAYYY in the other direction and supplement our diet with "healthier" nutrition as a supplement, etc. I'm not saying don't eat organic food or grass fed beef, or wild caught salmon, quiet the opposite as I'm all for it - but I'm just saying do I really need to be eating in a supplemental manner?
Now I understand it is important to eat whole food, as in nature there's also no processing plants, per say*** except compost is a processing plant in of itself... so, maybe processing plants are practical? (Another topic starter)
HOWEVER: it could be a double edged sword, this topic, perhaps both supplementing diet is good and not good. maybe it just depends?
HOWEVER: it could also not be a double edge sword
The reason I'm talking about this is because I started to feel a little tired lately, maybe from work... but I'm thinking to myself, do I need some supplements, and then I thought you know what, that just doesn't sound right to me right now- I should feel fine regardless on an average diet or eating at least once or twice a day and getting a little bit of water, right?
now I do NOT work out - that could also potentially be a contributor. I'm also applying the same principal to working out, do I really NEED to work out? I do mountain bike for fun, but besides that I don't get down and lift weights and do a bunch of squats, I just don't find it appealing for some reason.
one last side note: I understand some humans (and life in general) becomes broken sometimes, and at those times supplments and so fourth are a necessity*** here I'm excluding the abnormality of those instances.
I now live in a sunny place(South Africa) having grown up in a rainy and barely 26°C for a week in July Ireland, we just ate simply but excellent produce as kids,the health plan was every January bundled off to the chiropracter, my father's siblings (6)
are all alive, 1 in his eighties, the rest late 60's, 70's and really mobile, compos mentis,kids,grandkids etc Running their own homes still, they are not from an affluent background. In contrast in South Africa my partner's parents are both dead and all 4 of his mother's siblings and theoretically South African were way more affluent than Ireland at the time and had health care and were totally into supplements and stuff and vitally they had the sun, ricketts was a Dickensian concept to us as kids,yet people are being diagnosed with it in this era.
I reckon the last thing you need to be doing to your body is taking supplements ,becoming more sensitive to yourself and your environment will allow you to nip shit in the bud and find solutions made for your body/mind👣🌼😊
