So the takeaway from both of the articles in the original post is to eat healthy, sleep correctly, and exercise. So that's not new news. The bad part is that today, like stated previously, most of the stuff you buy in the store is NOT what it appears to be. 95% of the things for sale in the supermarket is absolute garbage. From the genetically engineered broccoli, tomatoes and grapes, to the bio-engineered fish and chicken, to the heavily pesticided strawberries. The cereals, breads, and yogurts... I won't even start to explain how bad those are... If you open a bag of bread and it smells like chemicals... Well that's a sure sign that you're not eating what you think it is...
The article also talked about environmental toxins.. Well those are all around us and there's not much you can do about that unless you move to a cave in the mountains. All this stuff is bad for humans: the town water coming out of your faucet (my town water was found to be toxic and was reported in the local newspapers), nearby overhead powerlines (cause cancer), the cellphone in your hand (prolonged exposure will cause cognitive problems and in some cases cancer), the outdoor air if you live in/near a big town or city, the dirt in the ground, your house pipes (whether plastic or metal), the clothes you wear (if not natural cotton or wool), the carpet you walk on, the pillow you sleep on, the deoderant and shampoo you use... It's all affecting our bodies in NEGATIVE ways... A good way to measure how bad something is for your body is to read how greatly the seller of the product is saying it's safe.. The more they say it's safe, the more you need to run away from it..
I'm 55 years old and eat pretty much healthy, exercise often, and try to sleep good. I've had all these ailments below, and have found that ALL of them can be cured by adjusting the diet and other external interactions: grinding teeth, clenching fists, brain fog, tiredness, lethargy, loss of interest, sadness, no energy, irritable, forgetful, creaky bones, aches and pains, indigestion, diarreah, cramps, dizziness, etc.. They can all be fixed, not by pharmeceuticals, but by adjusting your diet of HEALTHY foods, and also exercising and sleeping well. I don't believe in pharmaceuticals because most of them are a scam to make $$ (but that's a whole other thread).
