The Way Your Body Works

-
I've written about this several times but only pieces of the whole picture. I want to explain the way I understand  how the body works. If you read between the lines you can see why you might be having trouble losing weight.
The body is an ever-changing structure, it's really very complicated. Your blood has to feed and heal every part of the body. When you're born you receive nutrients from your mother and they're stored by the body for later. The body's most important function is to prevent you from starving. Now you have this excess nutrition the body has stored and this extra layer of what we call "baby fat" also for protection.
So as the years pass we use up the baby fat but if you have been eating properly the body still has most of the stored nutrients. We have to eat nutrients in our food to enrich the blood. After eating and after the stomach processes your food, your Liver takes the nutrients from that food by separating it from the waste, filtering out any toxins and sending the nutritional part into the blood stream. The enriched blood goes to the heart where the blood is directed to different areas of the body. A large portion going to the brain. The blood has to be carried to every inch of the body. It's only the blood that will keep everything working properly.
In today's modern diet, most of us don't get enough nutrients. Most of our food supply has been stripped of the nutrition in the manufacturing process. When your blood doesn't have enough nutrition for the whole body it will decide what body functions are more important and feed those first. Blood is circulated all through the body all the time, but for example, the Liver has hundreds of different functions and when it doesn't have time to accomplish everything it will prioritize and decide what to do first. It's the largest of the interior organs and does the most work.
As the body runs low on nutrients, and your diet isn't replenishing nutrients, your body will being to decline or what we call "age". If you're not getting enough nutrients in your food the first thing you'll notice is a lack of energy. Second, you'll begin to increase your body fat. These changes will happen very slowly and you won't even notice any changes at first.
This decline that happens to your body, begins with a poor diet, lack of nutrition which slows down body functions. Slowing down body functions is the primary cause of the body adding fat. It's one of the body's defensive mechanisms to prevent starvation. Remember, that's the body's main function. "Prevent starvation".
So, the question is "how to we prevent the body from adding fat?"This is the secret to staying thin. First I should tell you that the body has no defensive mechanism that will stop adding fat. The body doesn't know how much is too much. So, if the body doesn't get the nutrition it needs in the food, it will store that food in fat cells and send out food cravings for more food. It's not really food the body wants it's nutrients and it's not getting what it needs, so it keeps sending for more. Somewhere, through evolution, we lost the ability to know what the body is telling us, so we think that just by filling up our stomach we will take care of our body when in fact that's not the answer.
Exercise doesn't really enter into the fat storage problem. When you're eating properly and getting the nutrients your body needs every day, and not consuming food or drinks that the body can't process, then you'll have more energy and you will be more active.


I don't do any strenuous exercise, I do Yoga to keep my body parts working properly. I hope you understood my explanation of the body and why it's so important to eat the right foods.

The Mediterranean diet is based on the traditional foods eaten by people living in the Mediterranean region, especially Greece. It's loaded with healthy foods and research findings suggest following this diet may help reduce some of the risk factors for heart disease.  According to the Oldways Preservation & Exchange Trust, the Mediterranean diet was introduced in 1993 by Oldways, Harvard School of Public Health and the World Health Organization.  The diet includes: Olives and olive oil Whole grains, mostly in bread and cereal rather than pasta Very little red meat Fish and seafood Some cheese, but less milk Lots of vegetables and fruit Plenty of legumes and nuts A little red wine The Mediterranean diet is high in fiber and antioxidants from vegetables, legumes and nuts, far greater than the typical Western diet, and low in saturated fat.

Changing Your Life To Lose Weight

I can let you in on the ultimate secret for successfully making a change in your life. A century’s worth of psychological research reveals an interesting paradox in who we are. On the one hand, once we reach adulthood our basic personalities remain unchanged for the rest of our lives. We keep doing the same things—and feeling the same ways—over and over. But, on the other hand, every day we change our behavior drastically in response to different environments. Most of us are one person at work, for example, and another person at home. It is easier to change our environment than to change ourselves. So, if you want to change yourself, change your environment. Said differently: Whenever possible, don’t try to fight temptations – avoid them! The easiest way to make a change in your life is to modify the world around you in ways that will naturally drive you toward making, and maintaining, the change you want. There are many ways to change your environment, but let’s focus...

Cancer and High Protein Diets

-
On the Fox TV Network the other night, one of the big stories was about high protein diets. A new study has shown a link between the over consumption of animal protein and how it can stimulate the growth of cancer cells. It seems we all have cancer cells but they don’t normally grow, unless we consume too much animal fat, dairy or fats from processed foods. Before I continue I want to explain about the link to cancer. After all, Man has been eating red meat for millions of years, right. That's true but todays red meat is not the same. Most red meat that we buy in the supermarket comes from Steers that have been raised in feed lots on a grain diet that is full of hormones and other chemicals that shorten the growing time and put more fat on the animal. These hormones and other chemicals stay in the meat and what you're buying will contain the chemicals that the animal ate. Normally a grass feed Steer that lives on the range in big herds will take 18 to 20 months to grow to ...
