Health issues were always there,
but access to health awareness was not.
Now, all information is at your fingertips—
as you carry a smartphone.
Yet even the educated and wealthy
are enduring sickness.
Diseases are driving premature death.
What do you think is the reason?
It’s ignorance and temptation.
The desire to look good.
To follow trends.
To fit in with peers.
Gullibility for business gimmicks.
Very few are questioning
if the ancient immune system—
the body's security guard
is okay with these chemicals?
This recklessness is proving costly.
As chemicals are being embraced
as helpers, as allies.
But no, they are not!
Chemicals are irritants.
They make the body acidic.
The body turns hot.
Metabolism is disrupted.
Hormones go crazy.
Enzymes start cleaving proteins—
ruthlessly, aggressively.
Remember:
Your body turns a war arena.
So, wake up.
Chemicals in any form—
dyes, scents, even drugs—
are hostile to your body.
As a seasoned researcher,
my job is to raise awareness.
against inflammation
To heed, to harness—
or not, is your call.
