Gone are the days when we humans used to get fresh air, flowing stream water and natural (pesticide-free) fruits and vegetables. We are living in a world where water is hard and full of toxins, the air is full of pollution and the fruits and vegetables are either from cold storage or are with high preservatives or with pesticide.
