PLANT BASED
Nature did not intend humans to be meat eater, scientists just like allopathic doctors intentionally advise humans to eat meat which contains toxins that will lead to the accumulation of foreign substances in the body, which foreign matter in itself is the cause of disease, it's on such foreign matter that pathogens and all other microbes breed while feeding within your body, if humans can stop meat eating, the process of fermentation and putrefaction in the body is cut by 50%, this results in improved health, every meat eater has a bad odor, bad smell of faeces, when they use the bathroom, you can not bare the smell, they're sick internally, those toxic chemicals given off as bad smell only imply that decay is going on within the body, when matter decays, obviously toxic chemicals are given off, but see what the intellectual sick humans do, instead of curing the cause, they cover up by using cosmetic products, like perfumes, this is similar to a co**se which smells to much, that you decide to take it for postmortem instead of directly returning it back to Earth without passing time...
As mentioned above, mother nature never designed the human gastrointestinal tract with necessary enzymes and biochemical reactions to digest meat, that's why its instead fermented or putrefied in order to be removed from the active GI tract area and either passed out as faeces or converted into morbid matter & deposited around the body as fatty acids, cholesterol composition, etc...
We as humans we're not beasts of prey, we cannot relish meat uncooked in its raw state like other carnivorous animals, it requires preparations that totally kills vitality of such tissues, we must have some stimulants & beverages added in order to help its ingestion into our bodies, that's why meat eaters drink lots of liquor, caffeine, irritating soups to help the body's digestive organs, like the salivary glands, but, all these instead blocks the production of digestive juices that would try to digest and lower the effects of meat in the human body, nature never intended humas to suffer from meat eating, every meat eater is automatically a beast of prey, and on feeding humans on meat, they've become aggressive and resemble beasts of prey, all beasts of prey are intoxicated with aggression chemicals which prepares them for attack and kill, this is what meat eaters display in our society today, humans have become deadly beasts of prey, they consume more & more meat, which seduces the system to demand other artificial chemicals like alcohol, drugs, smoking, coffee, etc, to dissolve the meat concentration in the gut, this introduces more toxic morbid matter in the body's tissues that makes them susceptible to malfunctions...
In nature we at once see that all creatures which live on fresh meat are vicious, while plant eating animals are gentle and peaceful, but as soon as for example the Guerrilla is introduced to flesh meat eating, it loses its docile disposition and become aggressive, fierce and dangerous, Guerrillas that are fed of flesh meat only for a short time, at once become unchaste in the worst degree in their sexual behaviors, they reciprocate with rage and fight their own species to the point of killing them or kills them, but no guerrilla feeding on plant based foods, can attempt such characters, this is similar to humans, those that are vegetarians display calm behaviors while those feeding on meat are aggressive and unapologetic...this can manifest in so many ways including depression,passive aggressive, cells aggression and proliferation.
If more humans are compelled to return to nature's design for our existential bodies, it would implore every fruit-eater to do all in his power to foster fruit culture and produce more for commercial purposes, the human digestive organs in their functionalities are arranged only for a frugivores diet, so fruits a lone, therefore, can be easily and completely digested without leaving any toxemia remnants back, even the process of developing & accumulating foreign matter is, therefore, at once suspended where fruit is the only nourishment ingested as natural food, this also stops the fermentation and putrefaction processes, because the time fruits take to be digested is quite small compared to meat...
The only cure for diseases, food and drug addiction , is the return to a complete natural raw diet of frugivores, humans are raw fruit eaters by nature's design, our digestive system is so much designed for a raw fruits and vegetable dietetics, scientists have mis_educated & misinformed us about our nutrition, they do it for monetary reasons than a genuine service to humanity. Dm me if you need help transitioning to a plant base diet

LYMPHATIC SYSYEM MASSAGE BENEFITS

The lymphatic massage is a delicate, light form favoring the lymph flow. It is based on light, rhythmic and constant movements, only touching the skin, with an almost non-perceptible pressure. Being so fine, the patient may perceive it as useless, but after two-three sessions, its benefits can be seen.

A lymph massage session lasts at least for one hour.
Unlike the blood, the lymph is not pumped by the heart, moving slowly due to stimulation from the muscles' contractions. The lymph is a whitish liquid flowing throughout our body inside lymph vessels, collecting wastes and toxins that cannot be absorbed through the blood capillary vessels. In certain points, called nodes, lymph is cleaned. Nodes are found in the groin, underarm and neck, in the vein angle formed by the jugular and subclavicular veins, the main point of draining for our body toxins and liquids.

The massage starts from the neck, from this terminus point towards the ears, following from the center of the face towards the lateral areas, always finishing with a light pressure on the ears and temples. The finish in this area is from the forehead to the neck.
In hands and arms, intermittent pressure must be made to the underarm, always ascending towards the heart. In feet, light and intermittent movements must be made on the groin area and from the knee towards the thighs; also from the ankles ascending through the whole foot, making with the index finger and thumb rotation movements. The massage is finished in the inguinal area.

These are health benefits of the lymph massage:

1. Against cellulite. It works best in earlier stages, even if it is effective in every moment. The ideal case is to be started during the teenage. Cellulite appears when the fat deposits in our feet compress the lymph vessels, turning difficult the lymph flow. If the intervention is not rapid, the tissue fills with liquids and toxins and the fat deposits tend to turn harder, producing the "orange skin".
When the cellulite is on its incipient stages, it is easy to activate the flow of the accumulated wastes and solve definitively the issue. Normally, just three months (for example February, March and April) are enough to get satisfactory results.

2. Swollen, heavy and edematose feet. Lymph flows from the periphery of the limbs to their center. When for no matter which reason this path is interrupted, the lymph falls back due to the action of the gravity flooding the feet tissues and causing swelling. The lymph drainage helps lymph to complete its route and it is the choice treatment. In 3-4 weeks, the problem is improved. If it's chronic, the doctor will point the ideal frequency of the massage.

3. Pregnancy and PMS syndrome. The drainage is very effective in both cases, but as a preventive method. The hormonal changes during pregnancy determine liquid retention and a decrease in the tonus of the vein and lymph vessels. The drainage can be started beginning with the third pregnancy month and made till the delivery. It is also effective against the swelling experienced by many women a few days before the menstruation. In this case, the massage is made immediately after the end of the cycle for a week.

4. Scars. If during the scarring process of a wound interstitial liquid accumulates forming an edema, a hypertrophic (cheloid, swollen) scar forms. The lymph draining has a "planning" effect on the scar, even in older ones, because it activates the lymphocytes, involved in reconstructing the tissue.

5. Acne and couperisis. In acne, the skin is inflamed, accompanied generally by liquid retained amongst the skin cells. The depurative and draining effect of this technique decreases gradually the inflammation and the edemas, favoring a more rapid cure.
Couperosis is due to an alteration of the peripheral circulation of the face, especially on cheeks, nose, and chin. In time, the reddening turns permanent, accompanied by the inesthetic "veinlets". If the condition is in the initial phase, the lymph drainage can fix it, but if it's on an advanced stage, it just improves the look attenuating the skin symptoms. 15 sessions can check the skin's reaction to this treatment, when even total cure can be achieved.

6. Surgery. Lymph drainage is effective for getting rid of edemas and hematomas and boosting tissue regeneration following a surgery. But it is good not only after the operation; if made a month before the operation, it favors the elimination of the liquids and toxins from the body, spurring cells' ability to regenerate and repair tissues.
Use a lymphatic flush from upendo foods to help flush the lymphatic system:

‼️Coated/non-stick cooking pots and pans ‼️
Over the past five decades scientists from DuPont, government, and academia have published studies documenting temperatures at which non-stick cookware coatings begin to break apart, offgasing chemicals and particulate matter into the air. Dealing with multiple cases of polymer fume fever in their workers, DuPont scientists conducted a series of studies beginning in the 1950s to identify the toxic components from heated Teflon, killing birds and rats in efforts to understand the potency of the gases and particles.
Studies show that thermal degradation of Teflon leads to the slow breakdown of the fluorinated polymer and the generation of a litany of toxic fumes including TFE (tetrafluoroethylene), HFP (hexafluoropropene), OFCB (octafluorocyclobutane), PFIB (perfluoroisobutane), carbonyl fluoride, CF4 (carbon tetrafluoride), TFA (trifluoroacetic acid), trifluoroacetic acid fluoride, perfluorobutane, SiF4 (silicon tetrafluoride), HF (hydrofluoric acid), and particulate matter. At least four of these gases are extremely toxic - PFIB, which is a chemical warfare agent 10 times more toxic than phosgene (COCl2, a chemical warfare agent used during World Wars I and II), carbonyl fluoride (COF2 which is the fluorine analog of phosgene), MFA (monofluoroacetic acid) which can kill people at low doses, and HF, a highly corrosive gas.
The lowest temperature at which nonstick coatings have been reported to kill birds in a peer-reviewed study is 396°F (202°C) . In May 1998, poultry researchers at the University of Missouri recorded 52 percent mortality in 2400 chicks within three days of the birds being placed into floor pens with new PTFE-coated heat lamp bulbs. After ruling out bacterial infections like E. Coli and Salmonella, or toxic gases such as sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, the scientists finally linked the chick deaths to offgas products from the PTFE-coated bulbs. All of the chicks examined after death had lung lesions and moderate to severe pulmonary edeMany gases are also evolved when Teflon is heated. Heated to temperatures between 680 and 1112°F (360 to 600°C), Teflon generates TFE . This chemical is one of 174 chemicals that the National Toxicology Program considers to be reasonably anticipated human carcinogens . Teflon heated to between 680 and 1202°F (360 and 650°C) will also generate HFP . Carbonyl fluoride, COF2, a toxic gas and the fluorinated cousin of the chemical warfare agent phosgene, is emitted from Teflon that is heated between 824°F and 1292°F.
In one case of human polymer fume a case in which a person developed polymer fume fever about one hour after a non-stick pan overheated. Five cockatiels in the house died within 30 minutes .
