Well another year has past by so quickly and it has started with a 7.0 earthquake in Japan. Thank God there was not another tsunami and there was no significant damage or injuries, but what does this mean about how vulnerable we are.
With the ocean covering more than 70% of the earth's surface, the ocean represents our planet's largest habitat and source of oxygen. As our oceans become damaged so do we and as the fish ingest the chemicals so do we when we eat them. As time goes on the balance in our ecosystem becomes upset and we become much sicker as people.
From a health perspective if we simply cut down eating the fish that are mercury laden we would not only be healthier but our risk of having Alzheimers and Parkinsons would decrease. It is medically known that too much mercury in our system causes many health risks for any individual. There are currently more and more people having to deal with Alzheimers and dementia and it is not simply because we are living longer.
We are hurting ourselves and our oceans and by being aware of what we can do can not only benefit our quality of life, but help by keeping our oceans from developing acidification; which in turn damages not only the water, but us as well.
Wishing you all the best for a safe, healthy and happy year.
