Improper nutrition leaves people among the most unhealthy with compromised immune systems. Lack of effort toward proper nutrition leads to consumption of food from poor soils treated with toxic chemicals along with insufficient water intake and excessive alcohol consumption. Avoidance of sugar and manufactured foods in favor of more vegetables and supplements supports better health. These habits of improper care result in longer term issues for the body.

Malnutrition arises from widespread mismanagement of the environment through failure to restore health to the soil. As a result foods today contain far less nourishment than in earlier times with red meats providing only one half to two thirds of the protein they once held. The same depletion affects fruits and vegetables because animals and plants alike reflect the poor quality of what they consume from the earth. This situation produces an ever increasing incidence of malnourishment that weakens immune systems and heightens susceptibility to disease. The solution lies in locating preparing and consuming the best food available under any given circumstance while recognizing that processed items often lack essential minerals and other supporting elements originally present in whole foods created by God.

Improper nutrition will gradually set us up for depression. Consuming excessive amounts of refined sugars and starches and fats and other unbalanced nutrients can compromise the body's physical endurance, mental alertness, and ability to manage problems and stress. Allergic reactions to certain foods or substances can also produce mental dullness, irritability, or depressed feelings. Even a lack of light can cause our bodies to go into depressive moods.
