THE HEALTH CHALLENGE
Chronic Degenerative Diseases
The world’s most destructive diseases today are not those caused by viruses and germs.
They are degenerative diseases – which result from accumulated damage and degeneration of our cells.
There is yet no effective cure...In its annual report, the World Health Organisation (WHO) warns that cancer, heart disease and other chronic conditions, which already killed more than 24 million people a year, will impose increasing burden of suffering
and disability in hundreds of millions of others.
…but degenerative diseases can be preventedMany people still think of chronic diseases as unfortunate, but inevitable results of old age.
We now know that “old” does not equal “sick”.
Balanced nutrition, physical activity and a healthy lifestyle give us an excellent chance of avoiding degenerative diseases.

The Science Behind a Lifetime of a Health
How our cells are damagedFree Radicals are highly destructive molecules.
Because they are missing an electron, they destroy healthy molecules by stealing their electrons and making them into free radicals too.
This causes a chain reaction of damage to various parts of our cells.
Free radicals can result from our environment. They are also produced by our body in the process of burning food for energy.
We cannot avoid them, but we can neutralise their action.
Why a healthy diet helps
Food - particularly fruits and vegetables - supplies many types of antioxidants, which “donate” their extra electrons to neutralise free radicals.
Eating a variety of healthy food also gives our body the nutrients it needs to repair and regenerate damaged cells.
With proper nutrition, our cells can last a lifetime.
Seeing Is Believing
Dr. Myron Wentz, an expert on human cell culture, demonstrated the harmful effects of our environment and certain unhealthy foods on human cells.
By Chance or by Choice?
Nothing is more valuable than your health – not your boss, not your friends, not even your family – because when you lose your health, everyone you respect or love suffers with you.
Are you maintaining your health by chance or by choice?
... of these two people can represent your future. Are you content to leave it to a roll of the dice?
