Sugar’s Effect On Your Health

Share

Reduce Belly fat Now be aware of How sugar effects your health. Sugar’s effect on your health

sugar

The average American consumes an astounding 2-3 pounds of sugar each week, which is not surprising considering that highly refined sugars in the forms of sucrose (table sugar), dextrose (corn sugar), and high-fructose corn syrup are being processed into so many foods such as bread, breakfast cereal, mayonnaise, peanut butter, ketchup, spaghetti sauce, and a plethora of microwave-ovens.
In the last 20 years, we have increased sugar consumption in the U.S. 26 pounds to 135 lbs. of sugar per person per year! Prior to the turn of this century (1887-1890), the average consumption was only 5 lbs. per person per year! Cancer was virtually unknown in the early 1900′s.

The “glycemic index” is a measure of how a given food affects blood-glucose levels, with each food being assigned a numbered rating. The lower the rating, the slower the absorption and which provides a more gradual, healthier infusion of sugars into the bloodstream. On the other hand, a high rating means that blood-glucose levels are increased quickly, which stimulates the pancreas to secrete to drop blood-sugar levels. These rapid fluctuations of blood-sugar levels are not healthy because of the stress they place on the body.

One of sugar’s major drawbacks is that it raises the insulin level which inhibits the release of growth hormones, which in turn depresses the immune system. This is not something you want to take place if you want to avoid disease.

An influx of sugar into the bloodstream upsets the body’s blood-sugar balance, triggering the release of insulin, which the body uses to keep blood-sugar at a constant and safe level. Insulin also promotes the storage of fat, so that when you eat sweets high in sugar, you’re making way for rapid weight gain and elevated triglyceride levels, both of which have been linked to cardiovascular disease. Complex carbohydrates tend to be absorbed more slowly, lessening the impact on blood-sugar levels.
Sugar depresses the immune system.
We have known this for decades. It was only in the 1970′s that researchers found out thatvitamin C was needed by white blood cells so that they could phagocytize viruses and bacteria. White blood cells require a 50 times higher concentration inside the cell as outside so they have to accumulate vitamin C. There is something called a “phagocytic index” which tells you how rapidly a particular macrophage or lymphocyte can gobble up a virus, bacteria, or cancer cell. It was in the 1970′s that Linus Pauling realized that white blood cells need a high dose of and that is when he came up with his theory that you need high doses of vitamin C to combat the common cold.

sugar and lymphocytes

We know that glucose and vitamin C have similar chemical structures, so what happens when the sugar levels go up? They compete for one another upon entering the cells. And the thing that mediates the entry of glucose into the cells is the same thing that mediates the entry of vitamin C into the cells. If there is more glucose around, there is going to be less vitamin C allowed into the cell. It doesn’t take much: a blood sugar value of 120 reduces the phagocytic index by 75%. So when you eat sugar, think of your immune system slowing down to a crawl.

Here we are getting a little bit closer to the roots of disease. It doesn’t matter what disease we are talking about, whether we are talking about a common cold or about cardiovascular disease, or cancer or osteoporosis, the root is always going to be at the cellular and molecular level, and more often than not insulin is going to have its hand in it, if not totally controlling it.

The health dangers which ingesting sugar on an habitual basis creates are certain. Simple sugars have been observed to aggravate asthma, move mood swings, provoke personality changes, muster mental illness, nourish nervous disorders, deliver diabetes, hurry heart disease, grow gallstones, hasten hypertension, and add arthritis.

Because refined dietary sugars lack minerals and vitamins, they must draw upon the body’s micro-nutrient stores in order to be metabolized into the system. When these storehouses are depleted, metabolization of cholesterol and fatty acid is impeded, contributing to higher blood serum triglycerides, cholesterol, promoting obesity due to higher fatty acid storage around organs and in sub-cutaneous tissue folds.

Author Note: you will find extra storage of fat in areas like the stomach and belly, it is important to reduce belly fat as this type of fat has been proven to be more metabolicly active releasing unwanted chemicals into your blood stream.

Because sugar is devoid of minerals, vitamins, fiber, and has such a deteriorating effect on the endocrine system, major researchers and major health organizations (American Dietetic Association and American Diabetic Association) agree that sugar consumption in America is one of the 3 major causes of degenerative disease.

Honey is a simple sugar

There are 4 classes of simple sugars which are regarded by most nutritionists as “harmful” to optimal health when prolonged consumption in amounts above 15% of the carbohydrate calories are ingested: Sucrose, fructose, honey, and malts. Some of you may be surprised to find honey here. Although honey is a natural sweetener, it is considered a refined sugar because 96% of dry matter are simple sugars: fructose, glucose and sucrose. It is little wonder that the honey bear is the only animal found in nature with a problem with tooth-decay (honey decays teeth faster than table sugar). Honey has the highest calorie content of all sugars with 65 calories/tablespoon, compared to the 48 calories/tablespoon found in table sugar. The increased calories are bound to cause increased blood serum fatty acids, as well as weight gain, on top of the risk of more cavities.

sugar and honey

Pesticides used on farm crops and residential flowers have been found in commercial honey. Honey can be fatal to an infant whose immature digestive tracts are unable to deal effectively with Botulinum Spore growth. What nutrients or enzymes raw honey does contain are destroyed by manufacturers who heat it in order to give it a clear appearance to enhance sales. If you are going to consume honey, make sure it is raw, unheated honey. Good to use in special cures, but not as an every day food. It is not much better than white or brown sugar.

Sugar and cancer
Of the over 4 million cancer patients being treated in the U.S. today, almost none are offered any scientifically guided nutrition therapy other than being told to “just eat good foods.” Many cancer patients would have a major improvement in their conditions if they controlled the supply of cancer’s preferred fuel: GLUCOSE. By slowing the cancer’s growth, patients make it possible for their immune systems to catch up to the disease. Controlling one’s blood-glucose levels through diet, or exercise supplements, meditation and prescription drugs when necessary – can be one of the most crucial components to a cancer treatment program.

The saying “Sugar feeds cancer is simple. The explanation is a little more involved.
German Otto Warburg, Ph.D., the 1931 Nobel laureate in medicine, first discovered that cancer cells have a fundamentally different energy metabolism compared to healthy cells. The gist of his Nobel thesis was this: malignant tumors frequently exhibit an increase in “anaerobic glycolysis” – a process whereby glucose is used by cancer cells as a fuel with lactic acid as an anaerobic by-product – compared to normal tissues.(1) The large amount of lactic acid produced by this fermentation of glucose from the cancer cells is then transported to the liver.

This conversion of glucose to lactate creates a lower, more acidic PH in cancerous tissues as well as overall physical fatigue from lactic acid build-up.(2,3) Therefore, larger tumors tend to exhibit a more acidic PH.(4)

anaerobic glycolysis

Hence, cancer therapies should attempt to regulate blood-glucose levels through diet, supplements, exercise and medication when necessary, gradual weight loss and stress reduction. Since cancer cells derive most of their energy from anaerobic glycolysis, the goal is not to eliminate sugars or carbohydrates entirely from the diet but rather to control blood-glucose within a narrow range to help starve the cancer cells and boost immune function

THE EATER’S AGREEMENT by Marc David

Share

Here’s a brilliant video, very inspirational for all of us who have problems with eating and food. Look how one woman changed her life!

You can change your life  too starting today reduce belly fat now.

I hereby agree, from this day forward, to fully participate in life on earth. I agree to inhabit the appropriate vehicle for such participation – a body. As a requisite for the sustaining of that body, and of the life that dwells therein, I agree to be an eater. This agreement fully binds me for the duration of my stay on earth.

As an eater, I agree to hunger. I agree to have a body that needs food. I agree to eat food. I recognize that as the biological need to eat is fulfilled with greater awareness and efficiency, the benefits of my well-being will increase. I further acknowledge that ignorance of the eating process may cause undesirable consequences.

Because the essence of my participation in life is one of learning and exploration, I agree to experience uncertainty as an eater. I recognize there are a great variety of foods to choose from, and I may not know which to eat. I may have a choice of different nutritional approaches, and not know which to follow. I may have an assortment of habits, and not know how to manage them. I recognize that my relationship to food is a learning process, and I will inevitably make mistakes. Therefore, as an eater, I agree to accept my humanness and learn as I go along.

I acknowledge that as the body changes from infancy to old age, so will the eating process change. I recognize that my body may call for different foods as the days, seasons, and years progress. My dietary needs will also shift in accord with changes in my life-style and environment. I understand that there is no one perfect diet.

As an eater, I accept pain. I recognize that I may suffer pain when the body is disturbed by my choice of food or eating habits. I may also experience pain when emotional and spiritual hungers are confused with physical hunger. I further understand that eating to cure a pain cannot be remedied by eating may bring even more pain. I further agree to accept a body that is imperfect and vulnerable, that naturally decays with the passage of time. I recognize there will be moments when I am incapable of caring for it myself. I agree, then, that to live in a body is to need the help of others. I also agree to be vulnerable as an eater. I acknowledge that I will be helpless as an infant and will need to be fed. I may be equally helpless when I am old and unwell. I further recognize that even when I am fully capable, I may still need the warmth and care of someone who can feed me. Therefore, as an eater, I agree to be nourished by others.

If I have a woman’s body, I acknowledge that I have a special relationship to eating and nourishment. I recognize that as a giver of life, I am the nourisher of life as well. Whether through my cooking or the milk of my body, I acknowledge that the union of food and love is a quality that marks my womanhood and has a profound effect on human-kind.

As an eater, I acknowledge the domain of the sacred. I recognize that the act of eating may be ritualized and inspired. It may be given symbolic meanings that are religious or spiritual in nature. It may even be joyous.

I further agree that eating is an activity that joins me with all humanity. I recognize that to be an eater is to be accountable for the care of the earth and its resources. I acknowledge that despite our differences, we are all ultimately nourished by the same source. As such, I agree to share.

I recognize that at its deepest level, eating is an affirmation of life. Each time I eat, I agree somewhere inside to continue life on earth. I acknowledge that this choice to eat is a fundamental act of love and nourishment, a true celebration of my existence. As a human being on earth, I agree to be an eater. I choose life again and again…

Dis-Eases Of The Colon Caused By Constipation and Past Emotional Trauma

Diseases of the Colon Caused by Constipation and Past Emotional Trauma
by: Rudy Silva
It was estimated that of all the people who died of cancer – colon, lung, prostate, and breast – in 1999 sixteen percent were attributed to colon cancer. But, how many of these other cancers originated in your colon? We do know that colon cancer is the second leading cause of deaths in the United States.

We don’t know what cancers originated in your colon because the medical profession treats symptoms not the causes. Many doctors do not go looking for the cause of your problem. They don’t have the time. In fact, they normally will not tell you what you need to do to prevent your illness. Sometimes the reason they will not tell you is they just do not know.

It is the nutritionist’s job to tell you what foods and supplements you need to prevent and to overcome specific illnesses and what to eat to eliminate or stop constipation.

Why is it that some many people are dying of various diseases at such an early age – at forty, at fifty, at sixty, even 30, or younger? They die of heart diseases, blood diseases, cancers, autoimmune diseases and the list goes on. It has been know for a longtime why diseases occur and what you
These death producing illnesses are a result of our life style – the foods we eat, the water we drink, the air pollution we breathe, the thoughts we think, the toxins we are exposed to at work, and the cleaning products we use at home.

What is it that causes us to behave in a way that is harmful to others or ourselves in ways that affect our health, our relationships, and our life? Why do people smoke when they know it causes Cancer? Why do people drink coffee when they know caffeine affects their adrenal gland, which eventually leads to exhaustion? Why is it that people eat sugar when they know it has untold health effects beyond diabetes? The answer is simple but difficult to accept.

All illness originates from repressed traumatic memories resulting from early life trauma.

Dr Arthur Janov explains this clearly in his book, 1996, Why You Get Sick How You Get Well.

“Over the last thirty years I have learned a great deal about humans and what drives them. As trite as it may seem, what I have found is a single yet complex emotion called love. Not the romantic love of novels, but a fundamental love – the love of a parent for a child. When a child lacks love and nurturing, no matter how that lack is manifest, it creates pain, and if this pain is not “felt” or integrated into the system, it will in turn cause physical and emotional illness in later life.”

It takes disciple to change behavior, thought, and life style, which are good for health. This is what is necessary to reduce or eliminate illness. This is what is necessary to bring on a feeling of well-being way into your old age – at 80, at 90, at 100, and well beyond that. With the new anti-aging nutrients and supplements on the market, I can see people living well into 120 years provided they follow a good lifestyle.

How many people are willing to devote the time and money to start eating the right foods and change their lifestyle? This is the first step in reducing or eliminating constipation.

When increasing carbohydrates, be sure to eat plenty of complex carbohydrates like fruits and vegetables. The Atkins diet should reduce your appetite as well. A high protein diet will help you burn fat instead of muscle, but it’s also important to do cardio exercise and weight lifting a couple times a week to increase muscle tone to tighten loose skin.

  2. Step 2

    Get a prescription of Retin-A and apply it to your stomach once a day after your daily shower. Your stomach should be completely dry before applying. Make sure to wear sunscreen on your stomach to avoid burning while using Retin-A. You can purchase Retin-A online without a prescription or buy it when you are traveling abroad at most local pharmacies.

  3. Step 3

    Take supplements like leucine amino acids, calcium, and vitamin D to reduce belly fat and tighten loose skin. It’s important to take supplements especially as you age for maximum reduction of belly fat.

  4. Step 4

    If you’re losing belly fat and your stomach looks really bumpy and lumpy with little pockets of fat, consider getting Titan treatments. They are relatively inexpensive compared to tummy tucks. Titan works by increasing the amount of collagen in skin and helping it to contract becoming more smooth. Titan is non-surgical and safe. It’s an infrared light and usually only needs to be done twice a year.

ist1_5058858-feet-on-weight-scale

Are you looking to lose weight? If you are, you may have used the internet to research weight loss products. When many of us think of weight loss product, diet pills are often the first thing that comes to mind. While diet pills may be able to help you achieve your weight loss goals, diet pills are not the only weight loss product that you may want to look into. You have to take all things into consideration. A lot of pills can have unpleasant side effects.
A large number of individuals have successfully used colon cleanses, also commonly referred to as weight loss cleanses, to lose weight and reduce belly fat you may want to think about doing the same.

When it comes to using colon cleanses to lose weight, there are many individuals, possibly just like you, who wonder how the whole process works. Before understanding how colon cleanses may help you lose weight, it is important to remember that there may be a variance.
There are some colon cleanses that advertise that they are designed to help you lose weight. These types of colon cleanses are also commonly referred to as weight loss cleanses. With that in mind, there are colon cleanses that advertise that they are not guaranteed to help you lose weight, even though some of them may.

ist1_1476411-should-i When using a colon cleanse, it is important that you follow all of the instructions given to you. For instance, there are some colon cleanses that require that you do not eat anything for one or two days. These types of colon cleanses are often ones that are in liquid format. The colon cleanses in pill format may request to that you only eat and drink certain products, like fruits and vegetables. If you buy a colon cleanse that asks to you restrict your diet, you are advised to do so. This diet restriction is what helps you to lose weight, as well as allow the colon cleanse to properly work.

 When you use a colon cleanse, you are essentially detoxifying, your body. The colon cleanse will work to push toxins out from your colon and sometimes even your intestines. This is not only ideal to promote a healthy wellbeing, but it can also help you lose weight. It has been said that the average person has anywhere from four to eight pounds of stored waste in their body.

When using a colon cleanse, that extra waste will be expelled from your body. This is why many individuals are able to lose weight with a colon cleanse. The more your diet has consisted of junk food the more waste products will be still in your system. Get rid of that junk now reduce belly fat now, see your health improve with natural cleansing.

If you are able to use a rapid colon cleanse, like one that works in three to seven days, you may notice a rapid weight loss. There are some individuals who use colon cleanses to quickly lose weight before a special event like a wedding or a vacation. While you may be able to achieve rapid weight loss with a colon cleanse, it is important that you proceed with caution.
If you do not change the way that you eat or add exercise to your daily activities, you may see your weight add back on it as little as a few weeks or a few days. This typically happens if you were asked to restrict your diet when using a colon cleanse. While you do not have to keep up with your restricted diet, you are advised to reduce your junk food intake and start a daily or at least a weekly exercise program.

ist1_11060422-fit-woman Since it is more than possible for you to lose weight with a colon cleanse, you may be interested in giving one a try. Regular cleansing ( twice a year has been known to have health benefits) You have nothing to lose apart a few pounds of nasty plaque that will cause illnesses in the future!
It is definately a good way to kick start a new regime although I would not recommend doing a cleanse just because you wish to lose weight. If you continue to eat junk food then you will put
the weight back on again after a short space of time.

The Dangers Of Belly Fat

Share

Take a look at this video above with Dr Oz speaking about the dangers of belly fat.
There has been much publicity on the dangers of belly fat or a large waistline. With dis-eases like diabetes and heart conditions on the increase, it is important to know and understand why belly fat poses such a danger to our health.

We can find fat in nearly all parts of our bodies and in this image concious age we live in it is esy to start stressing about every lump and bump we find.
Fat around your mid section can be a warning sign that your organs are under stress, and stand the risk of being more prone to heart disease, type 2 diabetes, raised cholestorol and certain types of cancers.

ist1_1823140-need-diet By reducing your belly size you go a long way to improving your general well being and self esteem not to mention reduced risk of a myriad of health problems.
There has been many years of research and extensive studies on belly fat and how it affects our health, but Drs can not work out why people with larger mid sections seem to be the target of disease.
One school of thought is that fat regulates our metabloic function. ist1_7120158-fat-manFat around the midsection releases large amounts of fatty acids which in turn effects our blood sugar and insulin metabolism.
Insulin is a critical hormone that helps the body to burn energy. People with large waistlines and midsections tend to have less sensitivity to insulin. So the body responds by pumping out more of the hormone throwing the body even more out of balance.

Having extra belly fat leaves you vulnerable to many problems one of them being insulin resistance syndrome or metabolic syndrome.
This effects more than 50 million Americans. This insulin resistance can develop into type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholestoral, all dangerous for the heart.

Now we are not talking about your love handles here, we are not talking about the surface fat. This is the visceral fat that lies deep in the stomach and wraps itself around your organs. This is the fat that is metabolicaly active.

To find out if your are carrying too much belly fat you need a tape measure. Breathe out and relax, wrap the tape measure around your belly. It should not sqeeze but rest firmly on the skin with the bottom of the measure on top of your hip bone.
809234_abdomensMen; you should not measure more than 40 inches
Women should not measure more than 35 inches

The British Medical Journal reports state “the size of your waist may say more about your health than other common measures of obesity including BMI or waist to hip ratio. For most people the scale really does tell a story. Almost everyone with a BMI of over 30 (Standard definition of obesity) also has a large waist circumference” Klienn says
The small amount of people with healthy BMIs and large waist still seem to be the targets for health problems, he says testament to the dangers of belly fat.
Don’t be fooled into thinking you can suck it all way either! Many run to the surgeon and his trusty knife but research is now showing the people who have had 30% of their body fat removed through liposuction did not lessen their risk of heart disease or diabetes. It did not help to lower blood pressure or improve their response to insulin, could it be the size of the fat cell rather than the amount you have?

Increasing the amount of daily activity and exercises can help to reduce all over body weight resulting in belly fat loss as well.

Parasites – The Silent Epidemic

Parasites The Silent Epidemic

It doesn’t seem to be polite conversation… the state of our bowels.
Bowels and colon care is not the topic of conversation unless there has been an illness, or health scare. Even then it is not openly discussed. A little bit shocking and very frightening when you consider colon cancer to be on the increase. The health of your colon can determine the quality of your life.

We are steadily growing more and more unhealthy, we see it in our communities, an alarming rise in obesity and eating problems, there’s steady growth in “dis-eases” like irritable bowel syndrome, gas, bloating, diverticulitis to name but a few, and main stream doctors do not seem to want to debate or give their backing to the regular benefits of cleansing.
ist1_5480650-overweightEvidence about the dangers of having too large a girth has been all over the news and the net, it is linked with diabetes and heart problems.

Once detoxing the body and cleansing the colon were thought to be the “alternative treatments” for the cranky few.

However more and more evidence is emerging about the benefits of keeping the body clean not only on the outside but the inside as well.

Our bodies are exposed to pollutants everyday.
There are toxins and chemicals in our cars, offices, and in our homes, in the food we eat the water we drink, the pharmaceutical drugs we take.

ist1_4286619-man-eating-fries-no-2 We are eating more sugar, processed foods and injesting
stimulants and sedatives at an alarming rate. More and more research is emerging that our bodies are not coping. Our livers and kidneys are under stress, especially when you look at the increase in alcohol sales over the past 5 years.

We are just not able to eliminate all the toxins our bodies injest everyday. They build up in our cells, our tissues and organs causing many health problems.

Do you suffer from constipation, gas, bloating, frequent headaches, strong-smelling stools, bad breath, IBS, skin problems,
mood swings, metallic taste in mouth, irritability, strong food cravings, low energy or lethargy?

If you suffer from one of more of the following maybe it’s time for a cleanse?. After all we regularly change the oil in our cars, would never think about putting diesel fuel, in a petrol motor or petrol in your beloved diesel.

Still skeptic take a look at this:

Pretty Yeucky Huh?! All that going on inside! They could be inside you!!

This can easly be done with normal items from your kitchen.
You will feel energised as you give your body and digestive system a welcome break from having to deal with heavy foods and processed foods.
With a healthy diet and regular physical activity you can keep your colon and you in good health.

We humans can play host to all manner of parasites, well over a 100 in fact.
They can be transmitted through the air, through water and by contact. Parasites can virtually infect every part of the our bodies including our blood abdomen, chest, buttocks, genitals, hands feet, muscles and skin.

W.H.O The World Health Organisation estimates that at least one quarter of the world suffers from chronic intestinal infections. Sometimes known as the “hidden epidemic” parasites can have devastating effects on our health, and day to day lives. Symptoms can be common alilments that we would normally run to the pharmacy thinking over the counter medication will solve the problem.

A parasite is a plant or animal that lives within, off or upon another animal.
It is important that we recognise infection.
Don’t just think that parasites are a “third world” problem we are seeing a rise of in the US and UK.

It is ignored primary because parsites are good at masking themselves inside the body and in the symptoms displayed by each individual.
A lot of the symptoms resemble dis-eases.
An example is acid reflux suffered by so many can often be traced to the Giardia parasite.

Even our pets… New England Journal of Medicine,  state humans can become infected with at least thirty parasitic illnesses from their pets.

Not a good idea to sleep with them then!

Remember John Wayne?

He had nearly eight pounds of compacted fecal matter in his colon.
Imagine that… that’s like carrying around a new born baby ALL THE TIME!
This is the perfect material, perfect breeding ground for tape worms who can lay over a million eggs in their lifetime!
