Often we rely on fish or chicken for our protein intake when our bodies shout out that they have had enough of meat in life. It’s much easier for us to digest white, small fish than meat, probably because we have eaten it so much longer as a species. We moved from the centre of Africa out to the coastal areas before we went north to colder areas and started eating meat, so our bodies are a few hundred thousand years better friends with fish meat than bird, cow or pig meat, which require much more digestive fluids to break down, and leave us with an overflow of acid residue.

So what makes us all of a sudden see an increase in diseases like diabetes as fish eaters, when before we saw the health properties these friends offered us? Pollution! Now there are studies that show the correlation between fish consumption and diabetes, CVD and even mental disease, as this study shows fish eaters have a 38% higher risk for some chronic disease. Mercury is a long known poison to enhance depression. Personally I believe the studies that show high levels of pollution in meat and poultry as well, but it is the big fish that eat small fish like tuna, that have accumulated the poisons; PCB, heavy metals, plastics and much more.

As with meat, fish is not entirely just fish today. We have polluted the seas, lakes and rivers in the name of progress. So much that we can hardly find any clean fish on the earth, not even farmed ones. Also, sea life is generally more sensitive than land animals so if they don’t vanish from our pollution, they will die out as food on our plates. If we continue to eat as much as we do today, with the increased population, we won’t have any of the fish we eat now in our waters by 2048. Some believe fish like tuna, cod and wild sardines will be history already by 2025. How long they are going to exist before becoming extinct nobody knows for sure, but there is no question that they will all be gone within a generation from now…if we don’t stop eating them. Yet another reason to become vegan or at least semi-vegan.

O•live Retreat demystifies health and in the process it stands clear that health is far from drugs or injections made from petrochemicals.
First we make sure you know yourself, your body and what that means. Then we continue on your healthy path to get to know your body and yourself to do a good cleanse on all levels, Body·Mind·Soul. With over 15 years in this business and, as Conde Nast Travel and some others put it "top-ranked" health retreat, we base our work our own O• method, derived from a multitude of methods, both old and new. You'll get healthier in all areas of life as we don't think one can leave health at home while going to work, we can't say we are healthy if we destroy our bodies over the weekend or vice versa. One is either healthy or not, and what that means can only be defined by each and one and if that is to indulge in the unhealthy stuff it's because it's really worth it for the only judge - you.
The key training for professionals (individuals and groups) is focused on enhanced productivity through self-inspiration and self-care. As a high equity manager in the finance sector put it - it's all about staying highly inspired. We couldn't agree more and we know how that biochemistry looks like.
Independent studies find that 96% of our guests become more healthy and stay healthy after 6 months, 82% stay healthy after a year. This is a better rate than anyone other treatment or training, as far as we know. Our teachings are based on modern science, and ancient evidence based techniques, and a lot of personal experience with trial and error, in the field of being a healthy human. and healing.
We start all training with a health assessment and by asking what healthy means to each one? How you define it is what counts, but one thing is similar for all no matter what you learnt - a natural, anti-inflammatory lifestyle is everything we need (without drugs) but many things our society finds "normal" cause inflammation and therefore diseases.

For those who are healthy and ready to take their own health out to the world, do more for others and the Earth or have a story to tell we offer Kindfullness projects, support, editing, writing, marketing, translation and publishing.(www.hardonkarma.com)
