Isn't the whole point of being "normal" or by your definition healthy and free of foreign chemicals in the body to live longer. I guess my question is how much life expectancy is there to gain by doing so? Do u really want to live until 102? As long as u don't abuse these foreign substances/chemicals it shouldnt have a significant effect on how long u live. There are too many factors involved such as race, sex, geography, environmental factors that are out of our control. Its impossible to be chemical fee you breath the **** everyday, unless u live in the north pole or a bubble.
As far as how much life expectancy, that is a very good question.
Why not try to live at least 152?
Even with all of the pollutants you can't control, extend the logic. More pollutants are more pollutants.
It is one thing to be poisoned by things you can't control. It is quite another to deliberately do it to yourself.
Deliberately doing it to yourself adds the extra aspect of your thoughts
and mind going against yourself. You can use the power of your will to keep yourself healthy in spite of what goes on around you, but you cannot protect yourself from things you do to yourself. That is a battle no one can ever win.
The attitude is very important in health, and you can't have a good attitude if you are busy deliberately poisoning yourself when you could be making healthy choices.
In one hand you have smoke and in the other, fresh air. In one hand you have fresh grape juice, and in the other, rotten grape juice turned to alcohol. If you pick one over the other, you are making an affirmation with your mind as to what outcome you want.
To deliberately pick an unhealthy thing to put into yourself or your body is a negative, unhealthy thought that can affect your health negatively all by itself.
To make the decision to put an unhealthy substance in your mouth is an expression of self destruction, because the effects of that substance are what they are, and so the quality of the thoughts to put that substance in your body must logically be a direct reflection of that.
Whether you consciously intend to destroy yourself or not does not change the logic that subconsciously you seek to destroy yourself by putting that unhealthy thing into yourself, unnecessarily and deliberately.
