There’s a part of our brain where the affair lives and it’s the same part of the brain where immorality and childish behavior also lives. It’s called the limbic brain and it resides near the back of our skull down toward our spinal cord. It’s a great part of the brain, when we’re in trouble. You may know it as our flight or fight system. It turns on when we’re under threat and its’ function is simple…….it’s illogical, irrational, childlike, quick to violence, overly concerned with sex, territory protection, petty issues, food and it makes short term decisions, based on emotional inputs only (not logic). The limbic brain, when activated by a threat, doesn’t consider the long term consequences of its’ actions what so ever……and the reason it does that is because it’s supposed to react to physical threats that require defense or us attacking something.
This part of the brain developed at a time when there were really no INTERNAL THREATS that could set off the system. Now, unfortunately, we’ve found out that this completely stupid and irrational part of the brain is activated by caffeine, alcohol, medical drugs (think school shootings), sugar, science chemicals, narcotics and basically anything that doesn’t quality as “natural” or something we’ve grown up around over our long history here on this planet. Snake venom and other related natural poisons plus rotten food may have been the only compounds to have set this reaction off in our ancient past. Now, most everything we consume does and that’s a big problem with our society because this part of the brain isn’t supposed to be on that much but it’s now on all time. Because the limbic brain is overly sexual and a notorious short term thinker, it’s very prone to the very messy marital affair and this is unfortunately one of the factors leading the collapse of the conventional nuclear family. In short, when you consume poison, you’re really stupid, beyond cave man stupid. Worse than cave man stupid. Male or female, it doesn’t matter.
Caffeine is a prime activator of this super inept part of the brain and sure enough, a close friend of mine had his wife go off the deep end and head first into a completely illogical love affair after starting to consume coffee heavily at the age of 35. The original “her” was missing, replaced with every characteristic described above. After the coffee was removed, the original “her” returned and she reflected on her behavior as “not being who she really was.” There’s more going on with our unstable lives than meets the eye. If you’re looking to get healthy, learn interesting facts like the one just described above and lose weight……all at the same time, come see myself and Jennifer at our only live Health Conference March 31st 2018 in Cornwall, Ontario Canada.
