When disasters strike, your body is subjected to high levels of stress.  The food that you eat during this difficult period must be very nutritious and, provide your body with the extra energy it needs to perform the many strenuous tasks that disasters and emergencies almost always manifest.  Disasters are not the only threat to our health.  Environmental pollution is another.  Our air, water and food is tainted with many different types of toxic materials.  Over time, they embed themseves in our bodies and build up in our fatty (adipose) tissue. If their levels become very high, they can produce a wide range of health-related maladies.    

Proper food, nutrition and water are your first line of defense for your health.
