What is the price of modern life?

The price that we pay for this modern 21st century life is heavy.

In this fast paced world of fast food and packaged drinking water,we have lost all interest in taking healthy natural foods in fruits, fresh vegetables and juices. Further, the atmosphere and the air are polluted to high levels and the depletion in the ozone layer coupled with drastic changes in food and water qualities has pushed us to a state of turmoil and unhealthy status. Free radicals are born. These degenerative diseases are born of mental stress and tension. For instance an apple turns brown when it is cut. This oxidation process, as it is called, destroys even the good tissues and breeds diseases. This explains why eating of more anti-oxidants is insisted upon. Just like the apple turns brown when cut, out of oxidation, similarly our bodies too undergo certain undesirable changes. When the heart inhales air, free radicals are formed, which affects the good tissues present and results in diseases. To combat this we should intake more anti-oxidants, viz., rich fruits and vegetables such as carrot, tomato, orange and other green vegetables.
