Health

Can you say yes to a healthier happier life with less pollution?

Less air pollution means:

    ✅ less asthma, bronchitis, diabetes,

    ✅ fewer heart attacks and strokes,

    ✅ less lung cancer, emphysema,,

    ✅ fewer heat-related disorders, etc.

The editors of the British medical journal, The Lancet, wrote about what could happen with radical pollution reductions: “cleaner skies, healthier diets…& safer places to live.”

“Scientists have…found evidence of air pollution traveling from a pregnant mother’s lungs into the placenta.”

Oftentimes, “your biggest daily exposure to air pollutants comes while driving your car”.

Palm Oil

Deforestation is one reason to boycott palm oil. Another is your health:

"Palm oil…is high in saturated fat…it actually raises LDL cholesterol.

Let’s encourage everyone to be healthy:

“You don’t need to eat red meat to get…essential nutrients.”

“Red meat … is associated with an increased risk of … cardiovascular disease, colorectal cancer and type 2 diabetes.”

A vegan diet is a vegetarian diet without the dairy.

“Vegans have lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure and a lower risk of heart disease and stroke.”
