Obesity
is a lifestyle condition. There are isolated incidents of birth defects which are directly
responsible for weight gain. However,

notice that the word isolated is used. After studying the issue of
obesity for the past 30 years, we are confident in saying that 98% of the
time, the condition of obesity is the result of bad eating habits, lack of
physical activity, no rest, and poor nutrition.
Does someone become obese overnight? Is obesity a desired
accomplishment? If the answers to those questions are no, then what
happened? How does someone become obese? The possible answers to
that question are, cultivated tendencies, weak will, slave to passion and
taste, lack of commitment and dedication and the number one factor in our
estimation is ignorance. It does not matter where we want to go, if we
do not know the way, we will never get there.
Today, we want to show you the way. If you are obese, just a few paragraphs
down, you will find a tested and proven weight loss program. However,
before we get to that point, let us consider the factors which promote
obesity. A knowledge of those factors are actually our weight control
program.
Overweight & Obesity
The term overweight is used generally to characterize obese
individuals. A person can be overweight, yet not obese.
Overweight means weighing 10% over normal weight. Obese means weighing
20 - 30% over average for age, sex and height. A body mass index over
27.8 for men and 27.3 for females are also use to identify obesity.
The next step is to examine the factors which promotes obesity.
Causes of Obesity
There are many possible causes for obesity. Many arguments can be
presented suggesting certain specific factors. However, the following
factors, such as diet, physical inactivity, cultivated tendencies (heredity)
and poor nutrition are accepted by Nutritionist, Herbalist and the Medical
Association as the main causes of obesity. Below you will find our
weight loss program.
Weight Loss Program:
Chew 32 times (Masticate)
Remember, your stomach does not have teeth. Swallow the first intake
of food before adding more to it. Properly chewed food digest faster,
the body appropriate more nutrients and the benefits are transferred to the
blood easier. A bird can swallow a fish whole and a snake can swallow
a rabbit whole as well and experience no problems digesting their
meal. Why? Their digestive acids and enzymes are 1100% stronger
than humans. A lion and a alligator can swallow chunks of meat and
digest it without any problems for the same reasons. If humans want to
digest their food without any problems, if humans want to prevent the
storage of undigested food as fat, then it would be in our best
interest to liquefy our food before swallowing.
Be temperate
Never over eat. Over eating is one of the leading cause of ulcers,
chronic stomach pains, obesity and headaches. Stop eating before
getting full. Never eat when you are tired, emotionally stressed or
after hard labor or exercise.
Eat fruits and vegetables separate
Fruits and vegetables does not combine. Eat fruits and vegetables when
ripe and in season. Eat fruits as a meal by itself and wait at least 2
hours before eating again. Vegetables can be combined with dinner.
Processed, refined, fried, diary and canned
Stay away from the following food groups listed above. They are
absolutely hazardous to the body. They have little or no nutritional
value, and the number one cause of constipation.
Eating and going to bed
Is one of the main promoter of obesity. Eat at least four hours
before going to bed. Going to sleep right after eating retards
digestion. Many organs comes together, even the brain, to make
digestion possible. Walking helps digestion. In addition, you
will get up feeling tired because your system have been working all night
trying to digest your food.
Do not eat hot or cold food
The digestive temperature is 104 degrees. Cold drinks and food
will retard digesting causing the food to rot. Undigested food are
stored in the body, promoting obesity. Very often hot food are not chewed
properly. Food are swallowed in chunks. In addition, hot foods
prevent digestion until the digestive temperature is reached.
Proper Combination
We can eat the best of foods, fresh fruits and vegetable, but if they
are not combined properly they are more injurious than good. Poor
combination retards digestion as well causing weight gain. Order
proper combining information from us by calling the order
line.
Don't drink and eat
Drink 1/2 hour before or 2 hours after. Liquid taken with food
will dilute our digestive acids (hydrochloride) and enzymes (pepsin and
alkaline). This will prevent digestion completely robbing our body of
almost all nutritional gain. Soon the undigested food is past into the
small intestine. Undigested food often adds to our weight gain,
leading towards obesity.
Eating between meals
The digestive process is most strenuous work the body will ever do.
The body require more energy to digest our foods than construction workers
needs to build a house. Maximize your energy by giving your body time
to rest. Some people are always tired. One, because they eat
between meals and because of poor combination. A sluggish and tired
body cannot burn fat, which results to weight gain.
Eat a salad before meal
Fresh foods have a lot of digestive enzymes. The body excretes
digestive enzymes, but food enzymes, found in fresh, uncooked foods,
facilitates and promotes digestion. Salads provide fiber which will
help with elimination. If we are constipated, we will continue to gain
weight. Consider for a second, if we keep adding food to our body but
nothing is going out, what do you think is going to happen?
Calories
You can loss weight by eating fewer calories. If we eat more calories
than we burn, the excess will turn into fat. Eating 3,500 calories
above what we use will result in weight gain of 1 pound per day if we are
consistent and vise versa. Cutting back on our fat intake will aid the
weight loss process.
Exercise:
Exercise activates the skin to eliminate around 30% of toxins.
Strengthens the muscles for proper elimination. Without proper elimination we will gain weight. Exercise tones the
muscles and burns calories. An individual weighing 190 will burn
around 400 calories by running 3 miles.
Poor Nutrition:
Processed foods lose their natural nutritional value. Supermarket
items that are labeled enriched are added with synthetic nutrients to
compensate for the loss of the natural values as a result of the
manufacturing process. Nutritionist and many medical researchers
discovered that once the natural nutrients are removed, it cannot be
replaced in the same amount and composition to produce the same nutritional
effect as in it's natural state.
B-Vitamins helps with the metabolism of carbohydrates,
protein and fats for energy. Vitamin C helps to remove fatty
deposits. Starches and Carbohydrates also helps to prevent body fat accumulation. If we do not eat right for ultimate
nutrition, we will gain weight. Contact us for the full nutritional
information and the necessary grocery list consideration. Our contact
information are listed below.
The life of the flesh is in the blood. Our flesh, our organs, our
bodies becomes diseased when the required nutrients are not in the
blood. Certain hormones and glands are responsible for the maintenance
of a normal body weight.
Estrogen
Estrogen is responsible for breast development, round hips and the
enlargement of the genital organs in a woman. If we are using drugs
that are high in estrogen, eating foods high in estrogen, or exposed to
chemical or materials that mimics estrogen, those factors will increase the
estrogen level in the body, which will result in weight gain.
The hormones of cows, chickens, sheep and pigs are almost identical to those
of humans and function just about the same as well. Doctors use animal
hormones to treat many problems in humans. For example, diabetics are
given insulin obtained from pigs, cows and sheep.
Bovine is a growth hormone that is given to cows, pigs and chicken to speed
up the growth process. When we consume these meats, the growth hormone
has the same effect in
our bodies. 9 year old girls are known to have breast as big as a
grown woman. Cutting back or eliminating meat from our diet, will
cause us to loose weight. It will surely reduce the breast and hip
size in women. The added estrogen from these animals are responsible
for the weight gain in women.
Endocrine Glands:
The endocrine glands are extremely important for the maintenance of our body
weight. If our thyroid gland, pituitary gland and adrenal glands,
which are responsible for our metabolic rate, if they are not functioning
correctly because of poor nutrition, we will gain weight.
"The glandular secretion of the pancreas and pituitary glands become
exhausted from over-stimulation resulting from a 100% cooked food
diet. The body becomes sluggish, thyroid function also becomes
exhausted, and weight is gained. Use the contact information listed
below for a list of herbs and foods that will allow the thyroid and the
other endocrine glands to function as designed. Weight gain might be a
result of dysfunctional endocrine glands.
Constipation - Bowel Cleansing
If we eat 1 pound of food three times per day, but we only go to the
bathroom once per day, or once every two to three days, what do you think
will happen? If you said weight gain, you are correct.
Constipation is one the number one reason for weight gain. If we eat 3
times per day, we should go to the bathroom 3 times per day. If this
is not your practice, friend, then you are constipated or blocked up, in
other words. We have a bowel cleanser that has been tested and proven
for the past 30 years. If you have problems going to the bathroom, if
you go only once per day, then our bowel cleanser will make you
regular. To order our bowel cleanser online click

Food Combining
If we do not combine our food properly, it will not digest, promoting
constipation. Certain combinations will retard digestion.
Therefore, we put together a food combining chart that explains proper food
combination. Contact us at the number listed below for your copy.
Rest
Proper rest is probably the most important factor. If our bodies are
tired and sluggish, it will not have the strength to carry out it's
eliminating work. We have a herbal formula that will help you to enjoy
restful sleep, in addition to other information that help to induce and promote a
good night rest.
