Welcome

How Natural is Your Life?

How Natural is all about living naturally. As you'll see, it's not only about nature, it's about you...and vice versa. Regardless of how we ended up on this planet (that's another discussion entirely), we depend on it to survive. The planet, on the other hand, does not necessarily depend on us. We must therefore not only treat it well, but learn from it in order to survive. 

Learn from Nature

Since the beginning, man has learned to survive and adapt to nature. There has always been sickness and malnourishment, but not to the degree we have it today. As civilized nations grow in power, it seems that uncivilized ones are being left in the dust. As the Western powers take over and spread their capitalism throughout the globe, it becomes increasingly difficult to live off the land, and to live in a way that promotes and enhances our health.

The Western World

In the West, the focus is primarily on business growth - capitalism, and the aggregation of material things. Pharmaceutical companies are making a killing coming up with new drugs to treat the illnesses that are hectic pace of life is creating, to make our lives more comfortable, and to help our bodies, in some circumstances, avoid some of the growing pains we'd naturally be subject to. Ever notice, for example, how many kids are allergic to peanuts these days? Some schools won't allow peanuts or peanut butter on campus for this reason. And have you noticed how easy and more often people get ill, especially during the flu system? The bottom line is that we are compromising our own immune systems, and our own health, by impeding their natural growth. Antibacterial soaps, for example, are not only killing the "bad" germs, but the "good" ones as well. We are becoming weaker and weaker as we progress to a society of greater comfort and less dependence on nature.

How Ntural

So we ask, again, how natural is your life? Can you tell what you're putting in your body each day - or are you simply buying what's on sale, or what you saw in the commercial on the morning news? Ever notice how long some of the ingredient labels on food are? Ever think about what's in them, or what all those chemicals mean?

How Natural was created to bring awareness to the natural world, how quickly it is fading away in the face of capitalism, and what you can do to stay healthy and keep your wits about you in this chemical world of ours.
