Sigh... Weakened immune systems, fragility or age associated weakness are due to myriad factors, not all of which cam be mitigated by healthier eating and increased exercise.
Few, including the medical community at large, would argue against healthy eating, regular exercise, a good sleep schedule and maintaining a healthy weight improving the odds of avoiding some debilitating conditions and early death.
That said, suggesting these are universal cure-alls or preventatives against all possible health conditions or viruses goes counter to thousands of years of human history when people ate natural foods, physically labored, and nevertheless mostly died young. Average lifespan was 35-40 for most of human history, with a very high infant mortality rate.
Good food and plenty of exercise won't stop polio from debilitating children, even those with robust immune systems. The Spanish Flu most killed healthy young adults. Smallpox wiped out many "New World" tribes of indigenous people to near extinction despite eating and exercise habits in an unpolluted environment being close to ideal. Boubonic plague killed nearly 50% of Europe's population in the mid-1300s.
Perhaps it's partly due to the miracles of modern medicine that the octogenarians in your gym are alive and healthy enough to work out. If they were born in the US, they undoubtedly were vaccinated against smallpox, tetanus, diptheria, pertussis and polio.
The data is clear that the odds of a longer, healthier life can be improved by rebuffing junk foods and sedentary habits. Also by having regular checkups and being vaccinated.
First, I never said exercise, eating right, taking vitamins and having a good mental outlook is or was a universal cure-all. Nothing is of course a cure-all for anything. But, not a single doctor, researcher or scientist would argue that if you did those mentioned things you would live longer, healthier and most likely have a much much better later stages of life. I also know that none of them would say living on meds is the way.
Second, the average life span was never in the 30-40 range. That is a myth that has been proven wrong many times. Many kings and important people (religious figures, royal members, mummies, Aztec kings and warriors, and so on) (they had proper buriel chambers/tombs/crypts etc casue of their status) have been found to been a lot older.
In Mexico city in the Centro there is a Museum with a live dig ongoing. We spent a few months there in 2023 and visited the Museum and site. The bones found were not 30-40 years old by any means. More like late 60's, mid 70's even a skeleton they dated older.
This whole myth of died at 35 is so full of garbage. I mean think about it? Why would people die at 30-40? Human genetics, DNA research have never revealed anything to make one believe that at some point we all died so young.
The bubonic Plague never killed 50 percent of Europe. Another myth proved wrong. Scientists have long known that the causative agent of the
bubonic plague, a bacterium called
Yersinia pestis, was spread by rat fleas, and have even
traced the evolution of the pathogen across millennia.
The Plague killed more in some countries and less in others.
The 14th-century bubonic plague pandemic may not have had the same devastating widespread effects in all parts of
Europe as previously thought, according to a new study.
Historians have
long held that the “Black Death” wreaked havoc across Europe, west Asia and north Africa between 1346 and 1352, killing up to half of Europe’s population at the time, transforming religious and political structures, and precipitating major cultural and economic transformations such as the
Renaissance.
However, a new study,
published on Thursday in the journal Nature Ecology, has suggested that the Black Death’s mortality in Europe may not have been so universal. Basically some countries were spared and may not have experienced it all. While others may have been devastated. In fact in the 3 studies I am looking at currently, it looks to be about 27-30 percent of Europe was affected. Not 50.
In another study-
"We discovered that there were indeed parts of Europe where the human landscape contracted dramatically after the Black Death arrived. This was the case, for instance, in southern Sweden, central Italy and Greece."
"In other regions, like Catalonia or Czechia, however, there was no discernible decrease in human pressure on the landscape. In others yet, such as Poland, the Baltic countries and central Spain, labor-intensive cultivation even increased, as colonization and agricultural expansion continued uninterrupted throughout the late Middle Ages."
This means the Black Death's mortality was neither universal nor universally catastrophic.
The Spanish Flu was another hoax on the people. Historians aren’t actually sure where the 1918 flu strain began, but the
first recorded cases were at a U.S. Army camp in Kansas in March 1918. Funny it was in the US where the first vaccines were given to soldiers going over seas to fight in WW1. It was a vaccine made from a flu virus that was found in horses.
Theres no cover up on this. Its there to find if you want to look. I ended up spreading around Spain and southern Europe and killing a lot of people. But why not in the US did it spread. Why not? Well cause the first cases were at a military base and isolated, and the soldiers were sent over seas before they got sick and spread the pathogen.
Here is info from the FOIA request;
"
The ‘Spanish Flu’ of 1918, did not actually originate in Spain. Spain was simply the first country to report on it.
In preparation for WW1, a massive military vaccination experiment involving numerous prior developed vaccines took place in Fort Riley, Kansas- where the first “Spanish Flu” case was reported.
The fledgling pharmaceutical industry, sponsored by the ‘Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research’, had something they never had before – a large supply of human test subjects. Supplied by the U.S. military’s first draft, the test pool of subjects ballooned to over 6 million men.
Autopsies after the war proved that the 1918 flu was NOT a ‘flu’ at all. It was caused by random dosages of an experimental ‘bacterial meningitis vaccine’, which to this day, mimics flu-like symptoms.
Fearing that soldiers coming home would spread diseases to their families, the U.S. government pushed the largest vaccine ‘fear’ campaign in history. They used the human population as a research and development lab to field test experimental vaccines.
Tens of millions of civilians died in the same manner as did the soldiers.
Instead of stopping the vaccines, doctors intensified them, calling it the great “Spanish Flu of 1918”. As a result, only the vaccinated ended up dying."
Now after a really long post...Sorry about that by the way, One question I have to ask everyone that thinks like the post you made above. If our immune system was designed to fight infection, disease, fight and record bacteria, parasite and fungi invaders (the only things that can make us ill by the way), how in the h e double L did humans survive?
I mean, we are cleaner than ever, wash more, clean our clothes, clean our food and water, clean our cooking utensils, factories, hospitals, work places, houses and on and on and on...we have better medicine, better doctors (questionable), heck even our animals are cleaner and eat better food.
And we now have higher obesity, sickness, med use, suicide, illness, dis-ease, cancers, diabetes, heart issues, intestinal issues...and I could go on, than ever before. So without all of the advancements mentioned in the paragraph above this one, how did we not all die off?
It's all malarky. If you knew how much of our lives are a lie you would be astonished. Both our education system and medical system were completely and utterly revamped in the 1930's, by the one same family-the Rockafellers. Look it up. My wife has a medical book from 1890's and the one from 1940's is completely different. Did you know they had cures for most diseases in 1890's? Where are these cures today? Not good for the bottom line of the Trillion dollar medical industry.
My grandmother was a Nurse in the 60's and all the nurses knew about Renee Caisse in Ontario. The famous court case and the offers made to her for her 'cure'. A US gov offered more than a million dollars for her cure. She turned it down because she knew it would be suppressed. FYI she had hundred of thousands of patients she cures that wanted to testify on her behalf. Her cure? A native herbal concoction made from trees, roots, weeds etc. Burdock root, slippery elm, indian rhubard and sheep sorrel. A free natural cure that cured terminal people simply by making a tea from nature.
Anyway I have gone on far too long. Once again sorry to anyone stuck or still reading this 15 chapter book! Lol.
"When death comes to find you, may it find you alive".
