Natural Isn’t Always Best

in Hive Learners2 months ago

When it's natural, then it's perfect...that's the mentality of many people!

Even when they are risking their lives in a natural way...there is a case of someone close to me following a natural path over something that obviously was supposed to be handled using artificial medicine that we are blessed with, but since natural is assumed to be the best, this person blinded his ears to the rightful thing for his current case, despite how educated and exposed I felt he was. That's, by the way...

Most times, we hear people encourage others to always go natural and live a healthier lifestyle. Team natural will always sing it like a song, as if going natural means achieving perfection in all we consume and eat. It's good to go natural, no doubt; choose more natural food, natural breeze, and all of that. Some people even advocate growing your own food to live more naturally than artificially, and that's fine too. From the food we consume daily to some products we use on our bodies to our environment, you will hear it many times that natural is the best, but then, doing all these natural things, does it mean we are automatically right?


When I was growing up with my grandma, we usually farmed a lot of food and veggies, harvested them fresh, and prepared them for meals always, even fresh palm wine from trees. We consumed all of these natural things more often without any preservatives. It was a first hand experience for me those days, but I still remember that sometimes Grandma would restrict us from touching and using certain veggies, saying they had been attacked by pesticides and therefore were poisonous, yet they were grown naturally. This is one of great conviction to me that not all natural things are free from issues; some are simply harmful but appear natural. That's to tell you that some natural products can still harm our bodies, and sometimes we buy these things unaware and consume them thinking they are natural and therefore safe.

If you visit some hospitals and see some health conditions of some patients, you will understand that they are still breathing today because of machines and artificial medicines supporting their health. An experience over there wouldn't allow you to argue about natural vs artificial anymore. Come to think of it, most artificial products we use today were made from natural products to assist human lives.

In today's world, if you depend solely on natural products, I doubt if you can navigate life freely. That's just the simple truth, and it doesn't rule out the fact that naturals aren't good anymore, but these artificials are available to complement our lives and bring about balance. In other words, artificial shouldn’t replace natural but serve as a complement at the most moderate level. When a balance is achieved, we will have nothing much to worry about.

Natural is great, but obviously, artificial has saved many lives, brought solutions to problems, and given people different opportunities that natural hasn't done. Natural is not always the best, but it is the best in some things; we are meant to use it to improve our lives for good. The fact that some things are natural doesn't mean that they're the best for you, so there's no need to limit yourself to "I am team natural," "it is natural," or "nothing." Choose what works fine for you at every point in your life, whether natural or artificial, but in all, moderation is the goal.

In my own understanding and knowledge about these two aspects here, God is in charge of both, he made available all the naturals and gave the inspirational knowledge to everyone in the laboratories out there or in the scientific fields,

this is why we have Air plane, drugs in pharmacies, vehicles, and so many others today. From the artificial point of view.

For instance, pharmacists are using our natural products to produce the drugs we are using to take care of different diseases today. That's the combination and complements for both.

Every thing has rules and regulations and complements one another. Both natural and artificiality are very important and are needed for all of us.

It's very wrong to be at the extreme of either of them because they're meant to complement each other for our own good.

We use a lot of artificial things in our life which cause our health too but we're getting used to it. But natural ways are always best

While reading I kept seeing artificial and thinking not real. I prefer synthetic as it implies something has been created and is real VS artificial/not real/imitation.

I agree that I have a problem with people who say natural good, synthetic bad. It just oversimplifies things. Then again I also have a problem with people who think that medicine can fix everything.

Balance is key :) Well, at least in my eyes.

Enjoyed the article. Thanks for sharing

Smiles ...medicine can't fix everything and so is natural stuffs too. The goal is in balance
I appreciate your stopping by 😇

Yes, you're right. Natural things are good, but honestly not all natural things are safe for our health. I’ve also seen many cases where artificial medicine saved lives, so I believe we should create a balance between the two instead of focusing on only natural or artificial medicine.

Yes..not all natural things are safe
Balance will help us

Everything comes with their advantage and disadvantage. You can only make a choice of which one you think it’s best for you. Natural or artificial, they both have their merit and demerits

That's the way to go

Yes, you're right, not all natural things are good for our body. Although artificial also help but we just need balance between the two together.

I love this.
Thanks for coming in with such a balanced approach. Natural doesn't mean safe, because nature itself has its own dangers.

Thanks for sharing.

That's true. Natural doesn't mean it's always good and it's not necessarily true true that artificial are always bad. Natural disaster is also bad and it's not artificial and I think it can be a best example that natural are not good all the time.

Exactly ..imagine natural disaster
A good example here indeed
