I Feel Good, education and nutrition

The developmental age of the child through the first steps to a healthy physical and mental development.

Feeding, in the developmental age of the child, is the fundamental and necessary basis for a healthy physical and intellectual development; it is the first activity that we have to optimize our health.

«Learning and nutrition are the essential functions that we have to treat every day to ensure the health and well–being – says dr. Franco Verzella – doctor in the field of Functional Medicine, who deals since 1982 with Nutrition and Chelation Therapy in collaboration with the Institute of Functional Medicine Seattle–Aerobic Medical Center, Dallas–Great Smokies Diagnostic Laboratory, Ashville.

These two functions are both controlled by the activity of the nervous system that includes three “brains” that is, the encephalus, spinal cord, and enteric brain in an activity of continuous reciprocal modulation. The three “brains” develop “memories” that are constantly changing in relation to our daily lives, the food we eat, our emotional state, our ability to renew ourselves through learning.»

«Change, then, – Verzella continues – requires commitment, we have to change automatic memories formed mostly unconsciously.

The foods we eat are broken at the molecular level of the enzyme activity of our intestines and, when a person is healthy, the vital molecules are absorbed by the intestinal mucosa, while toxic ones are eliminated.

A toxic food in our body can manifest its action even for modest amounts, even of only a few grams.

The molecules that cross the intestinal mucosal barrier and are released into the blood and lymph start to become part of our identity, modulating it biologically and psychologically at every meal. In fact, they provide the energy for metabolic activity and movement, assist the continuous renewal of our tissues, modulate the activity of our genome, and our mental life.

In the first three years of life, the child matures the intestinal tract and the immune system that concentrates in the gut 70% of its activity.

The first criterion to ensure good health for the unborn child is to make a careful pre–conception prevention, and nutrition is one of the main topics.

During the 9 months of pregnancy in which the prerequisites for good health are fulfilled, the unborn child is totally dependent on maternal nutrition and on the quality of her bowel function.»

«In the womb, the fetus draws its origins from water, they feed on water, and then grow, evolve, are born. From the moment of conception to birth, their soul is anchored in a physicality, suspended in a liquid from which they draw their nourishment and through which they put themselves in close relationship with the mother's soul.

In the amniotic fluid their soul floats without gravity, lives in a suspended time between the cosmic dimension from which it comes and the earthly dimension in which it will enter.

At that time, thanks to the water that the mother's body produces, in the tiny embryo will be fixed all those biological and galactic memories that will become the guidelines of the new human being who will look to life.

Water, therefore, in the physical body contains all those memories that will surface from the depths whenever you will have an emotion.» (Taken from The Wave of the new time)

«Breastfeeding – Verzella continues – has to be sought as a first choice, but with a critical spirit, in relation to the mother’s health and the characteristics of her milk.

Since the early days, we can assist in the development of the newborn with the integration of natural molecules such as lactic acid, omega three and six, vitamin D3, and antioxidant vitamins and strengthen the natural defenses with herbs and homeopathic products.

Scientific research over the past 30 years has shown that some foods such as gluten, animal milk, dairy products, large fish, sugar (sucrose), shellfish and seafood, sausages, offal and canned foods, which are part of our tradition, are potentially harmful to a large percentage of the population, so their exclusion is recommended for everyone to improve their health.

Nutrition education is therefore extremely important for the individual and should begin mainly with parents to generate healthy children. Good habits must be acquired early in life; parental example – he added – is of course the more compelling “method”.»

“The spread of abnormal eating behaviours – said dr. Verzella – characterizing industrialized societies, typically high–calorie, dominated by products with a high glycemic index (baked goods and sugary sodas) and red meat together with environmental pollution is the leading cause of disease in children and adults.

The development of these diseases is epidemic; autism has gone from an incidence of one case in 2500 to a case in 60 and developmental disorders affect one in six children, while overweight and obesity affecting more than 30% of the child population.

In adults, we have witnessed the spread of the metabolic syndrome (heart disease, obesity, hypertension, diabetes) and a proliferation of new syndromes with an immune imprint: chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, multiple chemical sensitivity, fibromyalgia, among the most frequent.

Scientific research and clinical findings converge ever more clearly towards a predominantly or totally vegetarian nutrition, rich in foods high in water, fiber and phytonutrients.

This evidence, relatively recent, has helped to promote more conscious behaviors towards health and life; to reflect on the theme of the hunger of the poor; the fate of animals; on the degradation of the environment; in a word, the awareness of our belonging to Life on this Planet along with plants and animals.
