most, if not nearly all of the foods in this culture are unnatural...i.e. man made, and hence faulty in design. add in the behavior in this culture to overeat and then throw in the tendency not to exercise and it makes for a imbalanced deficient human being...one incapable of "physically" living up to its potential because of all the negative attributes listed above.

i really can't get into the ramifications of how overeating impacts the individual...or how an overconsumtive lifestyle affects one's mental health, but suffice it say:

"you reap what you sow."

on a physical level, the basic physics of eating a S.A.D diet pretty much results in stagnacity of thought, rigidity of movement, and premature aging/damage/ill health towards the body. a characteristic of this diet that mst of its constituents exhibit is lack of self discipline when it comes to themselves and others. as far as the blockages; the storing of toxic substances in fatty tissues and in the blood, when released has the physical impact of fatigue and general ill feeling, so when looking at this one can associate the diet of eating unnatural, unhealthy foods directly with physical performance. the body doesn't need as much food as most people here take in so what people are effectively doing is clogging up their systems with unnecessary nutrient deficient "stuff" that just hangs around causing problems...this problem is alleviated/reversed through fasting...you start to combat and take back your body and restor it to its default settings, so to speak.
