OBESITY
Primary problem – sugar
According to the statistical data from the USA (although the figures are similar in all the developed countries) a typical American used to consume about 5kg of sugar 200 years ago, while in 1998 rate reached 65kg. How could this change that much? The answer is simple – sweetening of tea and coffee, sparkling soft drinks, juices with added sugar, sweets, cakes even some meat products may contain sugar. I suppose that you would never eat many things, if there was no sugar added to them. In the past people did not eat so much sugar, the tended to consume more meat, fish etc. The first research concerning coronary diseases was conducted in 1912.
The problem of sugar, carbohydrates and insulin – why we get fat
Sugar and other carbohydrates, especially the simple ones are very fast metabolized into glucose and then into energy. This process takes place thanks to insulin. The energy that is not being used immediately is stored as fat.
You have to note, that our organisms were formed in the prehistoric age, when the primitive men could not even dream about candies. Our bodies can effectively manage the proper level of sugar in blood if it comes from natural sources, but not if we consume a lot of snacks containing the so called “instant energy”. This leads us to health problems.
First and foremost: try limiting the amount of consumed sugar
Nourish your organism properly
Why do we get hungry? Usually, when we feel hunger it means that our organism demands nutrients or vitamins – then we eat. Unfortunately we rarely eat a balanced diet, but rather unhealthy food like snacks, cookies, chips and so. What happens then? The organism digests the food but is unable to absorb the nutrients it requires, so we feel hungry once again. This is a vicious circle – we consume calories that are turned into fat, but we still feel hunger. So, what is the solution? It is quite obvious – we need to supply our organisms with a sufficient amount of vitamins and minerals, but without any extra calories.
This is possible with one of our multivitamin dietary supplements. You may choose one of the following, as each was designed especially for a certain group of people:
- Lion Kids – multivitamin for children
- Full Spectrum – multivitamin for people over 12yr.
- Vital 0 – vitamins and herbal extracts for people with blood group 0
- Vital A – vitamins and herbal extracts for people with blood group A
- Vital AB – vitamins and herbal extracts for people with blood group AB
- Vital B – vitamins and herbal extracts for people with blood group B
- Senior Formula – for people above the age of 50
It is very important that the vitamins you consume are natural and come as chelate compounds. This ensures that they are optimally absorbed and do not irritate your digestive system.
All the above mentioned supplements contain also good doses of minerals. Nowadays it has become essential to supply our bodies with an extra amount of calcium.
You may once again ask, why?
Because lack of this mineral causes the so called “hunger disorders”. What is that?
This means morbid hunger and tendency to consume huge amounts of food, often unhealthy. As I have already mentioned, sweets and diary products are in this group. Of course, it seems that diary products are rich in calcium, however most of them were pasteurized, what limits the absorption of calcium from them. You may find more information in an article entitled Milk, allergies and osteoporosis.
The best proof that diary products do cannot supply as well with enough calcium, is that countries with high consumption of milk per capita have also the highest incidence of osteoporosis. Facing such information it seems obvious that we must supplement our diet with more natural Calcium and Magnesium. Those can be easily found in the Strong Bones dietary supplement.
When talking about magnesium we have to say that this mineral is very important for obese people, especially those who enjoy eating a lot of sweets, like chocolate. As you may know, chocolate contains large doses of magnesium. This mineral is particularly needed by those, who suffer from a lot of stress, as stressful situation trigger higher demand for magnesium. This creates another undesirable chain of events – we eat more chocolate to provide more magnesium, but at the same time we consume plenty of calories. Stress makes us also eat more other kinds of food, not only chocolate. To save you from falling into this vicious circle we offer you one of our supplements: Stress Management B-complex. It contains magnesium and vitamin B, both able to ease your mind and eliminate stress. For more information about stress prevention, please refer to an article entitled Stress.
I suppose you will agree that excessive consumption of sweets and sugar is the major problem of obese people. We have already described this matter – sugar is transformed into fat. Nevertheless, it is an issue that we should discuss even further. You may not be aware that eating too much sugar can have negative influence on our bowels. Are you surprised by this fact? If yes, then you shall find the article Mycosis-blastomycosis interesting.
When talking about obesity we should also mention Nopalin. It contains extract from nopal cactus, which is rich in vitamins and fibre that is very important in balanced diet. As you may know, fibre fills your stomach reducing hunger and what is more it purges your digestive system, cleanses the large bowel. It prevents hemorrhoids and constipations.
The last supplement that you could take into consideration is Citrimax and Chromium. This unique supplement contains natural extracts from a plant known as Garcinia cambogia, which is able to effectively reduce your sensation of hunger. A substance called citrimax can influence your natural metabolic processes and thus restrain hunger. It should be valued, as such substances are quite rare in nature. The additional component is chromium, which restrains lipogenesis – the process of transforming carbohydrates into fat. This reduces the concentration of triglicerydes and cholesterol as well as the amount of fat accumulated under the skin.
The typical supplements for people willing to loose weight are:
- Advanced Fat Burners – metabolism, burns fat
- Fat Absorber – capable of fixing fats
- Super Fat Burners - metabolism, burns fat
- XenaForm - metabolism, burns fat
However, the effect they produce may be quite brief and unstable. You will loose weight, but after some time the fast tissue can rebuild to its initial state.
You need to perceive weight loss as a complex process that affects the whole organism, not only some parts of it. It is crucial to eliminate the cause of obesity, not only the symptoms that appear afterwards. I hope that you are aware of the risk and consequences caused by overweight or obesity.
It is also important to follow a good diet. I think that a diet corresponding with your blood group is the most optimal solution, also for people who do not have problems with their weight.
We often claim that our health is the most important thing in the world, but what actually do we do to keep our bodies healthy and fit?
Good quality dietary supplements are perhaps the best and the cheapest way you can protect your life and overall health, as preventing is better that curing.
Intake of dietary supplements containing vitamins and minerals should be based on your knowledge about healthcare, disease prevention and of course on your consciousness. This is the most economical solutions to keep your body healthy – much cheaper then possible future visits in a hospital, medical examinations and buying expensive pharmaceuticals !!!
