Health: VOLUME II

 Well, here comes the second volume, THE GAMECHANGERS, yet again myth buster on health. In this documentary it again shows how our diet can have a significant impact on the way we live. In this film it emphasizes on the diet and health of various sportspersons. This will again leave you flabbergasted when you will realize that how stupid we are regarding our diet, we basically, give heed to baseless opinions and platitudes without even doing a bit of research and this is the case with every person around. 

So, THE GAMECHANGERS, can really create a profound impact on our mentality. From the very beginning it focuses on the lifestyle of James Wilks(UFC fighter and self-defense trainer), who dug out all the research regarding the issue of diet in a sportsperson because he had to recover from a muscle injury. He had gone to world's most strongest man, a 39 year old bicycler (who had won Olympics gold medal), even Conor McGregor(if you know),etc. who had changed their diet and now they are having completely plant-based diet. This again shows that these people who are representing their nation and team across the globe were aloof regarding the benefit of plant-based diet, then howcome we, normal people, would believe on it.

In the very beginning of film they had shown a study on gladiators, in which they found out that those great warriors were all vegetarian, which was cross-examined by the level of strontium present in their bones. Here you will find plethora of research on the plant-based diet, above example was just the beginning of film. The biggest fallacy I found out that soyabeans doesn't increase female hormones in male, I remember once my bio teacher had told me to stop eating soya because it increases oestrogen but here I found that it is just utter nonsense. Soya contain phytoestrogen which primarily reduces the increase of oestrogen level in males. It had even shown, how can a vegan and meat diet affect the penis erection in men. Again I would say that, we re so caught up in this that it is very hard to draw everyone out.

I think, the onus of creating and spreading these lies lies on the shoulders of media and meat industry. It had very greatly affected every single individual in one way or the other. There had been various instances when the wrong doing of these meat industries had come into limelight but their collusion with media and government had created confusion in the mind of people. Their main motive is to just create confusion confusion and lots of confusion, so that when people go for buying these products then their love for these items, which is settled in their sub-conscious, will definitely over-ride the information that they had gathered. It is really a matter of concern and everyone has to ponder over it.

As stated in last blog, if we see our planet then one of the greatest concern is the increase in live-stock farming. It is affecting very severely to our lives by increasing the the level of pollution, excreta of animals, deforestation, desertification and what not. If documentary like these are spread to larger audience then it can create a significant impact. It can also reduce the pressure on the remaining handful of bio-diversity by increasing their numbers. It has to be spread and the day is not far when we are able to save our plant and the lives of these creatures.
