We live in a current time where 1 in 4 people have a chronic health condition such as diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and mental health conditions. How did we get here? Just a few generations ago, people were healthier and living longer lives. 

Well, life has certainly gotten more convenient; from the use microwaves, driving everywhere to get around, to fast food on every corner in many cities. We spend more time sitting and scrolling social media or binge-watching our favorite episodes of a Netflix special. Our daily habits have changed along with our daily diets. Food does not have the same nutrients and minerals it once had. Our government allows numerous additives in our food, and toxins in our water which are outlawed in many other countries. 

If we look at statistics, it appears those who identify as Black are some of the most affected by chronic illness. We have some of the highest rates of disease and illness in our communities. We are often told this is due to genetics and other psycho social reasons such as lack of access to medical care. I am here today to offer an alternate perspective, the truth in a world full of misinformation.

The reason many Black people are suffering from chronic illness is because we are not considering the truth about who we are.  You see Black people are naturally the most aligned with nature. Our hair grows upward like the trees, plants and grass, and our skin bears resemblance to tree trunks, sticks and wood. We are truly camouflaged in nature. We have natural protection from the sun’s rays with our highly carbonated (melanated) skin. We also require more of the sun’s power in the form of vitamin d. None of this is coincidence. Since we are the greatest reflection of nature, we must consume nature in all forms to be at our best and that includes the food we eat. We are made to eat foods that grow in nature: alkaline fruits, alkaline vegetables, spring water and herbs. When we veer from this, we suffer immensely. What do you think would happen if you fed your plants soda or coffee? We must get back to our true nature and embrace the foods meant for our unique structure. Those are Alkaline Electric foods provided directly from the source.
