We rested for a day with regards to the Game's Clock. When we awakened, Prince was waiting to teach us more about Time.
"Today, we shall revisit a topic I explained earlier. Do you recall what I said about Time possessing the ability to cause physiological changes in the body of Living Beings?" Prince asked.
"Yes, you said certain times of day could evoke healing effects" I said.
"Like the Heat of the Day which triggers the release of energy in the body and the coolness of the Night which triggers sleep leading to the regeneration of Living Cells and the restoration of Mental Fortitude" Concordia explained.
"The Healing Effects are not necessarily limited solely to Day and Night. They can also be triggered by changes in Temperature with regards to the surrounding atmosphere of Living Organisms. High Temperatures such as those emitted by the Midday Sun possess the ability to speed up Blood Circulation which in turn amplifies the rate of energy release in the Body. During Hot Seasons, the rate of Blood Circulation increases. On the other hand, Cool Seasons such as those of Rainfall possess the ability to evoke a tranquilizing effect in Living Organisms triggering rest which aids in Cellular Regeneration and the restoration of Mental Fortitude which is why certain animals typically hibernate in Winter. Also, certain environmental factors triggered by changes over Time can also trigger their own unique sets of Healing Effects. Windy Atmospheres for instance or Airy Atmospheres also possess the ability to trigger the release of energy stored in Blood Cells. This is mostly achieved via the Oxygen we breathe in, thus good air possesses Healing Attributes and can trigger the release of Energy stored in Red Blood Cells via Respiration" Prince explained. "The Earth itself possesses Healing Attributes that are mostly experienced when Plants channel Elements Of Sunlight, Air, Water and Ground Elements into the production of the Food we eat, each possessing unique healing traits. You've all heard of the concept of a Balanced Diet haven't you?" Prince asked.
"Yup, the Cancer System did a pretty good job of helping us figure that out" I said with a laugh.
"Good, then I won't have to spend too much time explaining this. Every variety of food substance possesses nutrients within it which when eaten regularly can prevent certain diseases. However, when taken after one is afflicted by a particular disease, they may possess the ability to relieve certain symptoms of a particular type of disease, they may boost Resistance to certain Ailments or regenerate lost Cells. Foods rich in protein such as Meat, Eggs, Milk and Leguminous Nuts for instance possess the ability to regenerate lost Cells. Basically, it is because of this particular food category that physical wounds eventually heal and one grows in stature. Foods rich in Carbohydrates or Sugar on the other hand provide energy for the body to work. Foods such as these mostly fall into the Grains, Cereals and Tubers category. Foods rich in Vitamins such as Fruits and Vegetables boost immunity thus preventing diseases and in some cases can cure or relieve certain symptoms of a disease. They are especially useful for dealing with venomous substances and things of the like by boosting one's resistance to venomous substances and Pathogens. Fats and Oils can also deal with venomous substances by coagulating them thus preventing the assimilation of these substances into the Bloodstream. Fats and Oils which are mostly produced by animals as well as Oily Nuts produced by Plants also aid in regulating body temperature by creating insulating sheaths of fat in the body that keep body warmth trapped in one's body thus preventing rapid loss of body temperature. The iron for instance present in Fish aids in the generation or regeneration of Red Blood Cells in the body acting to prevent anaemia and must be prioritized in situations of excessive Blood Loss. The Bones of Animals as well as Milk contain Calcium which strengthens the Bones. Water contains Fluoride which can also strengthen the Bones and especially the Teeth" Prince explained.
"I see, so usually, one eats a Balanced Diet to generally remain healthy however when specific categories of food are eaten under specific conditions triggered by ailments, they can relieve the symptoms of the ailment or cure it" I realized.
"Exactly" Prince said.
