What Keeps Us Obese, Fat And Unhealthy Started Way Back Than!


No, it wasn't Mc Donald's or Hungry Jacks, or any of the other take-away junk food outlets who started it. Although, they are conveniently placed in locations where you have to make a distinctive detour to miss them, and are now dominating the scene. The ones that instigated it to make us fat and to eat more started long before computers were known and even before TV became an addiction in our living rooms. It all started when Movie Theatres were the in-thing in entertainment for the young and old; you may remember the bucket of popcorn that was part of the deal.

It started way back than at the movies with that "extra size" popcorn, and it didn't take long for others starting to copy and making similar offers. Using a clever marketing trick offering to the movie-goer an even bigger bucket of popcorn for the same price as a small one, or even for free. This was the time when revolutionising our eating habits began by offering bigger size buckets, bigger bottles, bigger cans of sodas and bigger food containers. As this type of food industries started to grow and change, including the take-away and fast foods with the golden arches, this influenced the way we eat now. Although this fat and obesity issue started in the US some 50 years ago, but when America sneezes the rest of the world catches a cold.

When the food industry started to change

The big changes came in the 70s under President Nixon when the American Secretary of Agriculture encouraged US farmers to produce more and faster, mainly huge quantities of corn, was the order than. The feeding of livestock also changed. Cattle were no longer fed natural green pasture; it changed to grain and corn with antibiotics and growth hormones to get quicker results. A big percentage of corn was made into high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) which is cheap to produce and it replaced the use of sugar. As this substitute for sugar "Corn Syrup" was born ever since this substance was heavily used in most food productions as well as in soft drinks and sodas. The growing food market availability of fast-food 24/7 has revolutionised our eating habits. We gradually changed with the concept of super-sizing to big eaters and by 1980 obesity has doubled and as well accompanied with many health issues. Fueling up ourselves with poor nutrition, and loading our fat tissues with environmental and oxidizing toxins that are in our foods is just to make more money and bigger profits. The damage of artificial cheap sweeteners is still underestimated and the consequences not fully understood or realised by most people. According to research the overuse of corn syrup-fructose can suppress the hormone Leptin that carries the message to the brain which tells us when to stop eating. Farfetched you think? Not really; Leptin also regulates metabolism and body weight which interacts with receptors in our brain. Leptin wasn't known twenty years ago but it could help assisting in competing obesity, metabolic disorders and other diseases. One way to correct Leptin resistance is through a natural, nutritious healthy whole food diet.

The food industries spend millions on lobbying!

To protect their own interests and profits to keep shareholders happy, they also know that changes are coming and lobbying is well on its way against unhealthy preservatives in our food. Changes will take time; it has taken the aunty tobacco lobbyists over a decade to have any impact. Similar changes been seen in the food industries in the next decade or so. However, to compare tobacco to the food most of us eat every day it can have worse health consequences than smoking. There is no question, heavy smoking and lack of exercise are certainly health hazards, but a far greater concern affecting our health more so is the food most of us indulge in. Considering this, smoking becomes a relatively minor factor when you compare it to the food that is on the market now. The major cause of health problems comes from 90 percent of processed food most people choose to eat. This type of subject needs every bit of help to bring such a serious issue into the mainstream. Of course, most government bureaucrats would rather stick their head in to sand than come up with a positive and common sense solution for the industries they suppose to regulate. At the end it is up to every one of us in making better choices. This is just another way to stop the damage through enough people being exposed to information like this to make changes. The evidence is clear that the cause of obesity starts when consuming too many calories which come with super-sized portions. The most important step to a healthier life is the change to a healthy diet.

 

Ways To Tackle Obesity

Obesity is a global phenomenon. We see increasingly that the newer generation has a tendency to put on more weight much earlier than what was prevalent in the previous generations. As per WHO statistics, obesity is the single biggest reason for cardiac arrests and pre-mature death. As the medical community is gearing up to tackle this menace, we need to go back in time to find methods to overcome this. Let us discuss together a method to manage obesity.

There are many reasons experts say for obesity. One is the diet and other is lack of exercise. But look deeply, there is only one reason. Your genes. You are expressing one of your parent's or grandparent's genes, which has a tendency for obesity. When one of your parent is slim there is an even chance for you to be slim. But if both parent are obese, there is still a possibility that the genes of one of our ancestors could make us a slim and fit person.

Our DNA, which is the blue print stored deep inside our cells is capable of expressing itself differently under different environments. Our DNA is copied to RNA, which is then used to build proteins by the ribosomes within our cells. Our scientists have discovered the pre-disposition of human body to obesity due to certain environmental conditions. What all these point to is that the human body can be programmed to express slim genes, only if we knew how.

In societies, where there is abundance of food available there is a great risk of obesity. It is true that our diets does influence our genes to a certain extent. So, choosing the right diet would alter the way the genes are copied from DNA to RNA and then expressed by creation of proteins. There is a separate discipline called nutritional genomics where these aspects are being explored.

All these point to the inherent truth that we don't need to be accepting our condition as an obese person. We can under right conditions, influence our subtle fields around us to express our slim genes. There is a solution which helps us to express our recessive slim genes, which changes our outlook. This is an acoustic therapy that can be used to treat all kinds of conditions. Obesity is one of them. The secret to know is, our gene expression or our external features are controlled by the unseen subtle body around us. By conditioning this field, with quantum sounds we can cure us of any disease or condition.

In this technology, you are given precise instructions to send the quantum sounds to certain planes around your body. This is a guided therapy with clear instructions which harmonizes your subtle body corresponding to your navel. Over a period of 48 days, these sounds re-condition your subtle and physical body to express the best possible slim gene.

You will start losing unnecessary weight naturally. Essentially you have a possible second life. Most important aspect of this treatment is to have faith which opens your heart. This influences the subtle electromagnetic guiding field around you and makes seemingly impossible things possible.

The Simple Reasons for Massive Obesity

Over the years I tried many different ways of eating there was a time I was on a mission to put on weight and had a tough time gaining weight it cost more money to gain weight than it did to lose weight.

I came to the conclusion that extra bodyweight was really affecting my life in a bad way and I decided it was time to lose some weight and managed to lose 85 lbs in 5 months just by changing the way I ate.

I no longer stuffed myself, I ate almost a strictly vegetarian diet and I still do, I also find my body recovers real fast after a workout if I limit the junk.

But what is the right way? I think about growing up and the way I lived in 70's and 80's I found that there were a few fat people, nowhere near as many as now.

When mom or dad was in control of my eating I was eating usually 3 times a day. Morning usually was sugary cereal sometimes puffed wheat, shredded wheat, grape nuts but also sugar smacks, frosted flakes etc, on occasion eggs and bacon with the eggs cooked in bacon grease.

Lunch if not in school was probably peanut butter and jelly sandwich, dinner usually there was a meat, starch and vegetable, sometimes pasta. But dinner wasn't like a buffet and we didn't eat around the clock.

Sometimes we had seconds, but not much snacking between meals.

As far as fast food goes I probably was at McDonald's as a kid I would say less than 10 times and tv dinners were in metal tray's and were a treat.

On Saturday's when I was young I remember watching wrestling with my dad and eating bologna and cheese sandwiches.

I do not remember soda being in our house, we drank water and milk soda will destroy the body water builds the body. But the big thing is, there weren't many things that distracted us from being physically active.

We had no computer, cell phones, no video games well at least that were worth playing so the combination of being bored and eating at every chance and no physical activity is the biggest cause of obesity.

But as I got older and moved to a different area with access to convent store's and when I got a little money I would drink soda, eat fast food, lunch meat sandwiches but was still active and gained no weight.

It wasn't until I decided to gain weight and work really hard at it did I actually put on a ton of unusable weight. So eating in excess instead of moderation of the wrong foods processed packaged foods and lack of movement has become the problem.

No one ever got fat eating potatoes, they have few calories per potato and they are very filling no one ever got fat eating bananas either but the experts tell you to lose weight don't eat these type of starches.

If you look at the difference between the money spent today on eating out or ordering in compared 20 - 30 years ago the number is staggering. I never ever remember having food delivered to my house when I was younger.

So when I fat person tells me that they are fat because of medical problems they are more than likely just lying to themselves to make themselves feel better, because eating natural foods does not encourage weight gain.

No matter what some expert wants to tell you about how times are different and it's not all your fault, he or she is right times are different but the body still responds the way it always did. We have become conditioned to eat at all times we have also let the clock decide when we eat.

We eat too much food and don't drink close to enough water. We can go long periods without food and most feel they can't go two hours without food.

Over the years I have found the less I eat the better I feel, sometimes eating one time a day and sometimes eating several times a day depending on my activity level.

Activity level should be how you gauge your food intake, if you don't move much through your day you don't need much food if you are very active you will need more food, it's just common sense.


As far as scientific research goes do we really need to spend money finding out why people are fat? All we need to do is look no farther than the mirror.
