Stop polluting our own bodies

Pollution affects the destiny of mankind

There are endless consequences to an act. The ripple effect has implication for the future of mankind.

Data obtained by the Guardian suggests that one million plastic bottles are purchased every minute worldwide, worse still this is expected to increase by 20% by 2024 reach more than ½  trillion sold every year by 2020.( The Guardian June 28, 2017)

What is the effect of this massive number of plastic bottles on the ocean?

It is estimated that close to 300 million tons of plastic are produced every year, more than half of which is for single use products. These discarded plastic bottles, bags, straws and other plastic end up largely in the oceans.( Plastic Oceans, the facts) to the tune of more than 8 million tons, a year carried along the ocean currents, swirling gyres of “plastic smog” now covering  about 40%  of the world’s oceans surfaces( The Center for Biological Diversity  plastic pollution)

Oceans are not the only receptacle of this ubiquitous plastic pollution.

A study of fresh water environments,83% of the fish had plastic debris in their guts, mostly micro plastics particularly microfiber. The fish appeared to consume more micro plastic near the urbanized section of the rivers and when fish ate a lot of the plastic, they eat less diverse varieties of other food items. So it is not only the marine life in the oceans that are being harmed by plastic debris, fresh water creatures are at risk.

The plastic pollution of such a magnitude means, our food from oceans and fresh water river carry plastic molecules and deposit their content in our human bodies.

Plastic molecules interfering with our physiology of metabolism and living processes in our bodies causing diseases and premature deaths in every age group, affecting reproduction of human race by lowering sperm count and the quality of the sperm.

As we are assaulted in every front by our own thoughtless act of living for now and no thought for the future, we have to ponder and act fast to reverse this down ward of self destruction.

To prevent the further accumulation of plastic molecules into our bodies through food, or drink we can do what is within our power to act.

Get a distiller to eliminate all sources of water pollutants from our drinking water. By distillation, we extract only the water molecules we need and screen out the dissolved contaminants such as herbicides, pesticides, hormones, medication from drugs, traces of treatment chemicals such as aluminium compounds, chlorine, and  traces of iron from rusty pipes.

Drinking two liters of water a day to replace fluid loss via urine, sweats, and dehydration in an air conditioned room, if our water has traces of these toxins in our life time we may have accumulated a few pounds of the residue of these contaminants in our system. No wonder, we are weak, sick and suffered from common chronic diseases such diabetes, hypertension, high blood pressure and cancers of all kind. Just drinking pure water alone, it will reduce the incidence of sickness and ailments by 1/3.

It is a wise move to drink pure water and prevent the pernicious effects of body pollution by our complacency of ignorance. If we drink and behave like the masses, we shall perish likewise, just like everybody else. Suffer the same way, die by the same diseases.
