Obesity – A Status Symbol

There was a time, when extra weight and obesity was considered a sign of prosperity in men and a sign of beauty and attractiveness in women. This may date back to Neolithic times when for the first time in the history of culture, humans began to own property, domestic animals, agricultural

 land, houses, pottery and metal tools. Before that obesity was almost non-existent, and still is in all wild animals and most primitive races.

Today’s high obesity rates are common among most civilized races, due to the changes in our activity levels towards a more sedentary lifestyle and our food supply being highly processed and otherwise manipulated. Wherever abnormal fat was regarded as an asset, sexual selection was driving the trend and the desire to fit the model of beauty and grace.

It is only in very recent times that obesity has lost some of its allure, although the trend of oversized breasts and buttocks – which is always a sign of latent obesity – shows that the trend still lingers on. These unhealthy fat deposits do not promote health and wellness and while there are great variations in the severity of obesity it has recently lost its appeal as a status symbol and has now developed in a worldwide obesity crisis.

Microbes Mindcrobes

MICROBES MINDCROBES

The number of Microbes Mindcrobes living within the human body of the average human adult are estimated to outnumber human cells 10 to 1 and are found mostly on our skin, the respiratory tract, the digestive system and the oral cavity. Microbes Mindcrobes control every aspect of our lives. Exposure to bacteria and/or viruses (Microbes Mindcrobes) and our interaction with these invaders will …….more

largely depend on the health of our internal environment and our mental/emotional state.

In order to understand how changes in the Microbes Mindcrobes populations affect us we must consider lifestyle, nutrition, personal hygiene, exposure to stress, pollution and the environment.

Many single organisms – Microbes Mindcrobes exhibit intelligence of a kind not seen in other species of the animal or plant kingdom. They neither have nervous systems nor brains, but harbor an internal system that can be equated to a biological computer. To solve newly encountered problems, they assess the situation, recall stored data of past experiences, and then execute information processing, transforming the colony into a super brain.

Microbes Mindcrobes – do not just react to change in their surroundings, they anticipate and prepare for it. They are not simple solitary organisms, they are highly social and evolved creatures. They congregate to fend off enemies, meet challenges of nature to reproduce, obtain food and maintain their critical environment. Some bacterial intelligence if compared to human levels is 60 points higher than the human average of an IQ of 100.

Microbes Mindcrobes can keep us healthy and fend off invaders or make us very ill and may kill us under the right circumstances. We must provide a healthy environment for our resident bacteria to flourish and to help us maintain physical, mental and emotional health. Regenerating our individual bio-terrain means forming alliances, not antagonisms with the microbial community.

MCT Oil (medium-chain-triglycerides) promotes greater fat-loss than then any other fat and what makes it particularly interesting is the way it is digested. Unlike other fats, MCT’s don’t require enzymes or bile for digestion, instead they get absorbed in the first part of the small intestines to transition to the liver and can be used immediately for energy and ketone production.

Switching from a carbohydrate burner to a fat burner will provide mental clarity and focus, more energy and the desired weight loss without counting calories, restricted portion sizes or rigorous exercise.

The Keto Diet is the ultimate fat-burning system. Without enough carbs to fuel the brain, your body has no other option than to burn its own fat stores. Normally, your body is reluctant to make the transition and will only do so during a famine or emergencies.

The Keto Lifestyle will not leave you malnourished or hungry or in poor health, it creates this transition through carb deprivation and by adding healthy oils and fats.

What is a Leaky Gut

Leaky Gut

A leaky gut is exactly what it implies – intestinal permeability. Let’s imagine that you have a system that regulates what is beneficial to your health and what can do damage. This is our own immune system which is in the lining of the intestines.

Continue reading →

There are certain foods that will cause inflammation and tears in the lining such as wheat, alcohol and any type of NSAID (non steroid anti-inflammatory drugs) in addition to any food allergies.

When there are tears in the lining of the intestinal wall larger particles can slip through and enter the blood stream causing chronic inflammation and a poor immune response. Symptoms of leaky gut syndrome include gas, bloating, chronic diarrhea, constipation, food sensitivities, fatigue, brain fog, memory loss or skin problems.

The first step to healing a leaky gut is to remove wheat, alcohol, processed foods and any allergy causing agents and to add more fiber to your diet. Fiber feeds the good/friendly bacteria and promotes health and vitality.

Sugar and Spice

Sugar and Spice and everything nice, that’s what little girls are made of. How did this nursery rhyme become so popular? This poem, regarding little girls is commonly found in the Mother Goose nursery rhyme collections.

And it continues with: Sunshine and rainbows and ribbons for hair bows. tea parties, laces and baby doll faces, that’s what little girls are made of. Does this explain that little girls are naturally attracted to lollypops, candy and chocolates?

Continue reading →

Yes – most little girls like lollypops and candy and chocolates too. Sugar is often used to reward children for good behaviour, to entice them to finish their meals or to show them affection. At first this seems pretty harmless and the reasoning that a piece of candy or chocolate can do harm is often dismissed and the practice continues and is re-enforced with every additional bribe or reward.

But what about the long-term effects and the dependency on sugar or sweet treats to their overall well-being. When children associate feeling happy and loved with sugar, with cakes, with ice-cream, with a variety of sweetened treats, this message is clear and re-enforced again and again.

Even the smallest of our children are exposed to the sweet taste of cookies, cereals and juices with excess amounts of fructose and sugar. How do we balance the feeling of accomplishments and achievements without setting the stage for the dependency on sugary rewards to celebrate? Without setting the stage for these habits to be formed very early in life and then have long reaching consequences later into adulthood.

Slim and Fabulous

Any Weight Loss or Wellness Program should include a balance of healthy proteins and fiber. The amount of protein depends on age, gender, body size and activity level.

There are many diet plans and new one’s seem to pop up almost daily. This can get very confusing and frustrating.  So, what is the solution? First look at your lifestyle and what foods you’re used too. How can you improve your present eating habits without giving up all the foods you like?

Continue reading →

First, we need to eliminate some of the items, the one’s that make you put on weight such as sugar, breads, potatoes, pasta and rice – any grains and starchy food products. You can substitute some of them – for instance instead of spaghetti you can use spaghetti squash, and instead of a regular pizza crust you can make your own with cauliflower and instead of sugar there are many substitutes such as stevia and swerve.

The best diet plan is the one you can stick to, the one that works for you.

Consciousness the Binding Force

Humans realize that we are part of and united with all living things. Nature does not recognize higher or lower levels of life forms, only diversity in the eco-system. Vitality is the substance that sustains life by rhythmically cycling growth and decay. We inhale all that is necessary to live and exhale it for the next life form in need.

Continue reading →

Nature has made us unique and this fact is the underlying cause of our separation from the collective consciousness and the universal mind. To secure our nourishment, housing and status in life we compete at every step of our journey to promote and enhance our physical body and protect it from harm and injury.

Yet it is through cooperation and the physical connection to social groups and nature which provides security and comfort. When shared with other life forms, we are feeling the flow of vitality as nature binds us together and unites humanity with all living things.

Parasitic Infection

dreamstime_m_31202517

Parasites come in many shapes and forms and anyone can get a parasitic infection. Since many parasites thrive in tropical or subtropical regions where it is warm and moist, people who travel to these areas are at an increased risk for contracting these parasitic infections.

However, some individuals are at greater risk than others. People with a compromised immune systems or those who already have an illness.

– People without a clean supply of water are at risk for contracting a Giardia infection.

– People who swim in lakes, rivers, and ponds and ingest the water are also at risk.

– Cats transmit toxoplasmosis which is a very harmful infection for pregnant women. If you are pregnant, avoid cleaning the litter box or coming into contact with cat feces.

– Childcare workers who come in contact with feces on a regular basis are also at an increased risk of parasitic infections.

And because there are many types of parasitic infections, the symptoms can vary. Most parasitic infections cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, gas, upset stomach, cramps or pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, and dehydration.

Parasitic infections can be diagnosed in a number of ways – in a fecal examination, also called a stool examination or an ova parasite test. In some cases, a blood test can reveal if your infection is caused by a parasite.

In extreme cases, x-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computerized axial tomography (CAT) scans can help to identify if parasitic infections have caused lesions or injury to your organs.

Not every parasitic infection has a treatment, and some infections can re-occur. Some can be treated with antibiotics and because diarrhea often leads to dehydration, be sure to drink plenty of fluids if you have an infection and consult your healthcare professional.

The Keto Flu

When starting the Ketogenic Lifestyle there are a few things to consider and to avoid. Many people will stop the Keto Lifestyle early in the program because they experience symptoms similar to the common flu – known as Keto Flu.

Continue reading →

They may experience mood swings, irritability, fatigue, dizziness and nausea which may last from a couple of days to more than a week. This is due to the drastic reduction and elimination of carbohydrates.

The symptoms usually begin within the first few days after starting the Ketogenic Lifestyle program. It is a perfectly normal part and is temporary, manageable and transient.

The keto flu is a collection of symptoms associated with the body adapting to a Ketogenic Lifestyle, to become fat adapted during the transition. There might also be a loss of electrolytes due to dehydration.

The standard American diet contains a lot of processed foods, which are high in added sugars and salts. When we switch to a lifestyle of whole foods, most salt-laden choices are eliminated, and sodium intake is drastically reduced.

This leads the kidneys to release excess water and electrolytes are flushed out in the process and can cause flu-like symptoms until everything becomes balanced again.

The Ketogenic Lifestyle

The KETOGENIC LIFESTYLE  does not require counting calories, restricted portion sizes, maintaining a rigorous exercise regime or superhuman willpower to succeed.

The KETOGENIC LIFESTYLE offers an entirely different approach to weight loss and in the process many improvements to your health. Due to the use of ketogenic foods based on

high fat, low sugar /carbohydrate, and an adequate amount of protein it changes the way your body burns energy changing burning glucose (sugar) to burning dietary fat.

The KETOGENIC LIFESTYLE has been practiced since the 1920’s and is based on a solid understanding of physiology and nutritional science. Many diet programs are popular for a brief period and then fade away without showing a long-term success. The KETOGENIC LIFESTYLE  has successfully worked for a high percentage of people because it addresses the underlying causes of weight gain, including hormonal imbalances with the emphasis on insulin resistance and high blood sugar levels.

Before the cultivation of wheat and other grains, humans had to rely on seasonal foods, experiencing feasts and famines and eating at regular intervals was not an option. The human body is designed to use glucose or fat for energy. In recent times there was a complete transformation with increased sugar consumption and carbohydrate-based foods.

Once a state of ketosis is reached the body can tap into our stored fat reserves and start using it for fuel and well-being.

Mitochondrial DNA

Geneticists have concluded that the last female common ancestor whose genetic marker is found in all modern humans, the so-called Mitochondrial Eve, must have lived approximately 200.000 years ago. This is consistent with the idea that Africa is the ancestral home of “the Mitochondrial Eve” and the Y-chromosome Adam”.

Continue reading →

The modern Homo sapiens later migrated to Eurasia and completely replaced all other Homo species. This theory predicts that all mitochondrial genomes should be traceable to a single woman, the mitochondrial Eve. And whereas the Y-chromosome is passed from father to son, the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is passed from mother to daughter and son.

Genetic data can provide important insight into the human evolution and its current effects and how early human ancestors evolved from primitive populations in Africa to worldwide highly diverse human species.

Is MSG Addictive?

MSG (monosodium glutamate) is an additive in foods and is part of almost all commercially processed and packaged foods. It supercharges the taste of food in a way,  one would not suspect. MSG has a sinister effect on the brain making it believe that food tastes better, it is an excitotoxin and it over stimulates the brain causing the production of an excessive amount of dopamine.

Continue reading →

The drug-like rush provides a brief sensation of well-being and this highly addictive substance is causing consumers to indulge in eating excessive amounts of MSG-containing foods and is responsible for irresistible cravings for more.

Besides packaged processed foods you find on almost all supermarket shelves, beware of hamburgers, sausages, Chinese food, canned vegetables, soups, and processed meats, most bottled and canned goods, condiments, diet foods, and snacks.

After frequent consumption, the body develops a physical dependence. When this dependency is abruptly discontinued, symptoms of withdrawal can occur.

Surviving Sugar Addiction

Our world is filled with intensely pleasurable treats and they have become part of our lifestyles and routines.  That spoonful of sugar makes your coffee taste better and dessert can feel like the best part of the meal.

Some of the sugar cravings are relentless and usually happen when you need a boost of energy like mid morning or the middle of the afternoon.

Continue reading →

Sugar can be used to sweeten a cup of coffee, tea or soda or consumed
in the form of cookies, cakes, candies, chocolates and the lure of the sweet taste is hard to resist.

As soon as the sugar hits your bloodstream it is temporarily soothing the reward center in the brain and a few hours later will start the cycle of cravings and addiction all over again when your blood sugar gets low and you start to get irritated and restless.

There are many different theories on sugar cravings and their causes, this includes allergies, adrenal fatigue, hormonal changes, parasites, overgrowth of Candida or a bacterial imbalance in the gut and its connection to the brain.

One thing is clear, when you feed your sugar craving bacteria they will demand more and more of the sugary treats, the only way to stop this cycle is to change your diet and cultivate a different colony of bacteria in your digestive system

Yo-Yo Weight Loss – Weight Gain

Yo-Yo Weight Gain and Weight Loss is a condition where a person will impose strict diet plans and then successfully loses some weight but is unable to sustain that weight loss for any extended period.

Once normal eating habits are resumed and the weight previously lost is regained, the cycle of yo-yo dieting begins again. And just like a pendulum that swings back and forth, the cycle never ends.

Continue reading →

Adding another dimension to this situation is that after many cycles and the loss of muscle mass it becomes increasingly more difficult to even accomplish the slightest weight loss.

The solution is a change in lifestyle, a change in eating habits that can be successfully maintained – together with some regular physical activities.

Healthy Gums and Teeth

To keep your teeth and gums healthy takes more than regular brushing, flossing and mouth wash. Even regular check-up appointments with your dentist are not a guarantee for a healthy smile.

Tooth decay and gum disease are a common occurrence often due to unhealthy eating and just like the rest of your body it requires healthy nutrition with ample vitamins and minerals. When it comes to oral health sugars and acids in foods and drinks are the most damaging substances to tooth enamel, causing cavities and periodontal disease.

Continue reading →

Green, leafy vegetables are a reliable source of nutrients, rich in calcium and folic acid and provide a variety of important nutrients for strong teeth. Vitamin D (fish oil) for calcium absorption and Phosphorus, found in eggs, fish, lean meat and dairy products, is great for building and maintaining strong teeth. Vitamin C to reduce inflammation – without C, gums become more sensitive and susceptible to bacteria causing periodontal disease.

Loss of Appetite

Loss of appetite is a condition when foods are not appealing or a medical condition is present preventing you from eating normally. This is different then trying to lose weight and minimum amounts of food are eaten to accomplish a weight loss over a period of time.

Even on a low-calorie weight loss program, the foods allowed should always be enough to keep you from experiencing hunger and you should maintain a healthy appetite. Often supplements are recommended to ensure that levels of vitamins and minerals are provided when nutrients are lacking to prevent side effects and imbalances.

Continue reading →

If the loss of appetite is due to the use of prescription drugs and medications than this condition is most likely temporary and reversible. Other conditions can be far more serious and need to be evaluated by a health-care professional.

These include conditions such as depression, dementia, anorexia, metabolic problems, liver disease, kidney failure, heart disease, bacterial infections, diarrhea and the effects of underlying cancer, chemotherapy, pain killers and antibiotics.

Any persisting lack of appetite is a serious condition and needs to be addressed and the causes identified to restore healthy eating habits and the consumption of nutritious foods.

Midnight Snack Attack

dreamstime_m_44677110

There is much confusion about the subject of night time eating. Research shows that eating at night can lead to a greater weight gain – even when total calories consumed are the same. Eating at night can have a variety of reasons – not related to hunger or the need to consume nutritious foods – it is a habit

most likely to satisfy cravings or coping with boredom, fatigue and/or stress.

These late night snacks have a tendency of not being controlled and often consist of large amounts of high calorie foods such as chips, nuts, cookies and sweets. It is easy to lose track of the amount eaten while watching TV or sitting in front of a computer. It is easy to consume a large bag of chips, a carton of cookies with some soda to wash it down.

Night time, when no one is around to see you eat – may be the time you allow yourself to indulge in your favorite high calorie snacks and drinks. Don’t let your guard down after eating healthy all day just to ruin it during these few hours of relaxation.

Besides the extra calories, eating too close to bedtime may cause indigestion and prevent you from having a good night’s sleep. Going to sleep on a full stomach can add to your waist line and hold on longer to the calories consumed.

When choosing what foods to include in your late evening or midnight snack, it is important that you consider the amount of calories, since left-over calories (un-burned energy) is easily stored as fat. At any time, when you’re not expending much energy, you are much more likely to gain the extra weight.
