This is an article about weight management and different causes for obesity.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is used to determine overweight and obesity. Body Mass Index is a figure which is calculated by using a persons weight and height. An adult person with BMI between 25.0 and 29.9 is considered overweight and an adult person with BMI 30 or higher is considered obese.
For most people, body mass index correlates with the amount of body fat. However, BMI doesn’t directly measure body fat.
There are two causes for obesity:
1. Obesity resulting from excess fat and
2. Obesity resulting from water and waste product deposits.
Obesity resulting from excess fat is due when we take in more calories than we consume. If we don’t excercise and we eat lots of food which contains lots of fat and sugar, then we don’t consume enough calories.
Obesity resulting from water and waste product deposits happens when the balance between acids and alkalines in our body is disturbed. If we eat lots of food which produce acids (meat, coffee, sausages), our body stats to buffer the acids with minerals and stores them with water.
In this process, the fat cells work as "trash cans".
If we want to loose weight effectively, the first thing to do is togo through a thorough deacidification of the body. When our body has lost acids and waste deposits properly , we can prevent metabolic products from being stored again.
When we pay attention to the both forms of obesity - obesity resulting from excess fat and obesity resulting from water and waste product deposits - we can loose weight with permanent results. There is no weight loss without loosing toxins and acids!
Today, we take in more energy and calories than we consume. There is more food available than before and our everyday life requires less physical activity than before.
Nowadays we do not simply need as much energy as our ancestors did. Also, our society has turned very "food centered" compared with the time of our ancestors: today food is considered to be a source of enjoyment rather than a source of survival.
Unraveling the Complexities of Stress
Stress is a ubiquitous aspect of life, yet its definition is far from straightforward. While most of us have felt the weight of mental strain at some point, stress encompasses more than just a sense of mental overload. It's a multifaceted response that can manifest physically, emotionally, and behaviorally, impacting our health and well-being in profound ways. Understanding stress requires delving into the nuances of how it affects us and learning to balance its presence in our lives.INDUSTRIAL FOOD AND OUR HEALTH
Human being has genetically not changed that much during last 5-7 million years. However, there has been lot of major changes in our nutrition. Human being started cultivating the land around 6000 years ago. Seafood, poeltry, vegetables and fruits have always been the basic food for human being. Around 1000 years ago obtaining food regularly was very unsecure and we got adapted to energy intake limitations and fat deposits in case of famine.PROBIOTICS - BASIS FOR OUR HEALTH
Probiotic bacteria are the basis for our health. Mr. Ilja Iljitš Metšnikov is concedered to be the "father" of probiotic treatments. There are many sources of probiotic bacteria. Yogurt is a very common and popular source of probiotic bacteria.
