The generally accepted view is that obesity occurs with excessive eating, when the amount of food ingested far exceeds the body's energy expenditure.
Then the food, not having time to turn into energy, is deposited in the form of excess fatty tissue.
Notice, while still fat.
Further we will see that under certain conditions excess food turns into protein tissue, and this is already a malignant process that destroys the body.
So, the cause of obesity is excessive eating, and that's absolutely true.
Everything else that obese people justify themselves with - heredity, endocrine disorders and so on - is not the cause of obesity or becomes a consequence of it.
"Everyone in our family is like that," we often hear obese people complain.
But it should be objected, because it is only because there is such a trend from generation to generation that some families have traditionally adopted the kind of eating habits that lead to obesity, i.e.
fatty meat food, and even with a sufficient amount of animal protein, in the form of bread, porridge, potatoes, lard, cutlets, sausage, etc.
The only thing you inherit from your grandmothers are traditions and eating habits, genetics has nothing to do with it.
But the trouble with obesity begins when a person, convinced that the cause of his condition is hormonal disorders, begins to be treated with hormonal drugs.
This always only makes the condition worse, t.
к.
endocrine system disorders, up to tumors of the pituitary, thyroid and other glands, is not a cause but a consequence of obesity.
To treat such conditions with a new intervention in the internal environment of the body - taking hormones - is to further disrupt the entire endocrine system and upset it completely.
It is to upset (as a piano is upset), because the endocrine system is a chain of glands interacting with each other every second, and disruption of one link of this chain leads to imbalance of the entire system.
One very telling incident occurred to me about ten years ago.
I met my friend's sister, who had gone to another city after graduation and hadn't met me in sixteen years.
I saw a thirty-six year old woman whose appearance had changed beyond recognition.
In addition to severe obesity, there were signs of acromegaly - elongation of the nose, chin, fingers, that is, all the signs of a pituitary tumor.
To my surprised questions, she answered sadly: "I was diagnosed with a pituitary tumor at the Institute of Endocrinology, but my husband did not allow me to be irradiated".
The mood of utter hopelessness and depression was palpable.
But her age was only 36, although her monthly cycle had already stopped, and it was clear that it was worth ridding this woman's body of the huge load of toxins she was carrying along with her impressive weight, and everything would fall into place.
The work of the glands of internal secretion will be regulated and the tumor will disappear.
Her complete transformation and return to her former appearance as a slender, round-faced woman took place before my eyes over the next four months.
She lost 20 pounds, her joint pains and insomnia disappeared, her facial bones and hands regained their former normal size, and her monthly cycle was restored.
And all of this was achieved without a single pill, but solely by dietary changes.
Food is the building material of our cells and our whole body, including bones, nervous system, brain, and therefore, by changing the quality and composition of food, it is possible to change the composition and quality of our tissues, i.e. to turn diseased tissues into healthy ones and vice versa.
And therefore in the choice of food should be guided not by traditions, habits and tastes, but by knowledge of the properties of food products, their impact on the metabolism in the body.
That's what we're going to talk about now.
First of all, it's about calories.
There are many tables that are suggested to guide food choices in order to avoid gaining extra pounds.
They show the number of calories contained in food items: 1 pie, 1 apple, etc.
But let's see, what calories are we talking about here? Who measured them and how? They were measured in the 19th century by the German hygienist Voigt.
Burned, like firewood, a certain amount of food: bread, meat, lard, etc., in a calorifier stove and measured the amount of heat produced in calories.
That is, he measured the number of heat calories contained in 100 g of a product - protein, fat, starch.
And based on this work by Voigt, nutritionists began to recommend nutritional standards for healthy and sick people of all ages.
But heat calories are good for running machinery, not living tissue.
The human organism lives and acts thanks not to heat, but to biological calories, or so-called photocalories, which are contained in biologically active, "living", i.e., "living" calories.
raw plant foods.
Where do photocalories ("solar" calories) come from in plants? They are produced in the green parts of the plant by the process of photosynthesis, which is localized in chlorophyll grains.
These calories in the plant are immediately expended to synthesize plant macronutrient molecules - accumulators of ATP (adenosine triphosphoric acid).
The energy stored in plant ATP is then expended (fixed) to synthesize fruits and other parts of the plant.
This is how the tree grows and bears fruit.
And fruits ripen - fruits and berries, the sweetness of which depends on sunshine.
The more sunshine, the sweeter the fruit, the more fructose and glucose it contains.
By eating them raw, we directly absorb the energy fixed in the carbohydrate structure.
Carbohydrates, as well as fats and proteins of plants, are broken down in the digestive process very quickly, without excessive expenditure of digestive enzymes of the body, if they are taken in their natural form, and not denatured by heat treatment, which destroys the energy structure of the product.
Further metabolism takes place already in the tissues of our body.
Apples, grapes, carrots, beets, radishes, green vegetables, broken down to carbohydrates, fatty acids and amino acids, are absorbed from the intestine into the tissues and, dividing further into molecules, give their energy to the synthesis of animal ATP molecules - macroergens.
The energy stored in these molecules, as the child's body needs, is spent on tissue growth and all other physiological processes, on physical, nervous, mental work, learning, etc.
д.
Energy intake and energy expenditure are perfectly balanced, nothing unnecessary is deposited in the tissues in the form of fat, sand, pus, etc.
A person who eats "living" plant food is always healthy, vigorous, active, cheerful.
His body is devoid of a load of toxins, and therefore the appetite is regulated so that the person does not want to eat anything extra.
This is not a fiction of cabinet scientists, but observations of some nationalities living in ecologically preserved regions.
For example, the Hunza, who live in northern Pakistan in the Hunza River valley.
Their food all year round is fresh and dried apricots, edible grasses and millet.
The Kelkumer tribe in Central Africa feeds exclusively on dates.
They just don't have any other food.
And, nevertheless, both Hunzes and Kelkumers have exceptional health, they are tall and hardy people who live up to 150 and more years without knowing diseases.
The small island of Tristan d'Acuña in the Atlantic Ocean has been home to several hundred European settlers for the second century.
Feeding exclusively on the fruits of the island, they remain perfectly healthy throughout their lives, that is, they are free of all the diseases that afflicted their ancestors who first came to the island.
However, if we begin to measure the heat calories of food and eat meat, bread, cakes, and all the inventions of cookery accordingly, we lose measure in the absorption of food because of their stimulating flavor.
Excess nutrition is also greatly promoted by the saturation of our tissues, and especially of the liver and brain, with various poisons, which are produced during the digestion of denatured (boiled, fried) and mixed foods.
Thus, by eating - proteins together with starches and carbohydrates: bread, meat, porridge, cottage cheese and sweet desserts, we overexcite the taste buds and the brain's satiety center.
This is where all digestive diseases begin: from stomach ulcers to hemorrhoids, not to mention hepatitis and pancreatitis.
The liver and pancreas are literally poisoned by the absorption of putrefaction and fermentation products from the intestines into the blood of the portal vein of the liver, and the pancreas is unable to secrete all the digestive enzymes to digest proteins, starches, and carbohydrates at the same time.
But we have to excrete it, otherwise it will rot in the duodenum and we'll get poisoned.
That's it and it secretes huge amounts of the enzyme trepsin every day to digest proteins, ie.
meat and dairy products.
If the gland is depleted in this way, chronic pancreatitis sets in.
If one day the pancreas secretes too much trypsin, acute pancreatitis, a life-threatening condition, can occur because.
triggers self-digestion of the gland tissue by trypsin.
Give huge doses of IV Contrical to suppress trypsin activity.
If life can be saved, the patient still acquires a chronic form of pancreatitis.
That's how we take risks by consuming food mindlessly and immensely.
After all, we cannot forget that what we eat must be digested, ie.
е.
to expend the work of the digestive glands in synthesizing digestive enzymes.
And this is very energy-intensive work, so it turns out that the synthesis of these enzymes uses more of our tissue ATP molecules than we get from digesting mixed, denatured food.
Hence the term "negative calorie foods" originated.
These are, first of all, hard-boiled eggs, semolina, boiled and fried meat, as well as many others.
If the body is healthy and its digestive glands work with sufficient power, the excess food taken is processed in the intestines without much trouble, being deposited in the form of subcutaneous fat, and then fat enveloping the internal organs - heart, intestines, liver.
Moreover, the body tries to "hide" in fat all the toxins formed by mixed digestion (and they are formed by the putrefaction of proteins and fermentation of starches a lot), and the adipose tissue becomes a settling tank of slags.
This is how a healthy person quite voluntarily turns himself into a sick person.
After all, obesity is the first step in metabolic dysfunction.
Fat metabolism disorder is inevitably followed by the second step - carbohydrate metabolism disorder, i.e. obesity carries a real threat of type II diabetes.
Diabetes consists of a malfunction of the insular apparatus of the pancreas due to its increased exploitation: the pancreas is exhausted, having to produce insulin over many years to digest the food taken in excessive quantities.
And the main enemy of the pancreas is not even sugar, but foreign animal proteins, ie.
е.
meat products.
They, like fats, require the presence of insulin for their digestion.
Biochemists know that insulin is a universal anabolic hormone, without which it is impossible for nutrients from the intercellular fluid to enter the cell.
In addition, being natural proteins, animal products provoke the immune system to synthesize antibodies that damage the insular apparatus.
An autoimmune disease called diabetes sets in.
And all autoimmune diseases are considered incurable, t.
к.
once started the process of antibody formation is almost impossible to stop in the presence of animal products in the diet and the presence of purulent foci in the body: in the lungs, pharyngeal tonsils, appendix and any other organs.
So how do they try to treat diabetes? At best, by spurring the insular apparatus with sulfamide drugs, making it work harder.
When diabetes is severe, insulin is prescribed, permanently suppressing the gland's own work of synthesizing insulin - a treatment that cripples the body and does not lead to a cure.
And so now these activities are no longer called treatment, but only control of the pathological process.
Such are the successes of pharmaceutical medicine!
So, we found out that obesity leads to severe endocrine disorders (diabetes).
But are the woes of obese people limited to that? And high blood pressure with the threat of cerebral stroke? And atherosclerosis of the blood vessels of the brain, heart and kidneys? And metabolic polyarthritis? And finally, acute pancreatitis, the possibility of which is also not excluded.
Obesity is therefore a time bomb that can explode at any time, turning into one of these diseases.
That is, obesity is a disease that needs to be treated in time.
How can this be done correctly? If you treat obesity with the aim of losing weight alone, which is especially common among young girls and women, you can use various protein diets without starches and fats.
By consuming coffee, eggs, lean meats, cottage cheese, one gains a sense of satiety and the pounds go away.
But such a diet means that the tissues are clogged with a huge amount of nitrogenous slags (end products of protein metabolism) - urea, uric acid, creatine, etc., which will later cause the already described diseases, as well as migraines, psoriasis, neurodermatitis, etc.
The various types of coding have the same result, flavored with nervous system disruption.
So, since the real cause in obesity is overnutrition, an effective treatment would be alimentary deprivation, ie.
abstinence from food.
This treatment involves drinking herbal decoctions, cleansing the body, fruit and vegetable juices without taking dense food for 3-4 weeks.
If for some reason it is impossible to adhere to such a regimen, you can switch to three meals a day fruit and vegetables with simultaneous drinking of herbal concoctions.
Herbs should not be toxic and potent, but should be selected to cleanse all internal organs simultaneously - lungs, liver, pancreas, kidneys, blood vessels.
Drink them instead of tea and water for several months.
You can use such a collection: peppermint, oregano, melissa, valerian root, plantain, thyme, yarrow, chamomile, ergot, horsetail, nettle, motherwort - in equal amounts.
Brew three tablespoons with a liter of boiling water, drink during the day from one to two liters of such decoction with the addition of 1-2 teaspoons of honey and the juice of 1/4 lemon to one glass.
You should eat at 10-11 o'clock; at 14-15 o'clock and at 18-19 o'clock.
In the morning (at 10.00) only fresh fruit and dried fruits soaked in water, in the afternoon and evening - raw pureed vegetables (radish, beets, carrots, cabbage).
You can also add onions, garlic, herbs, sour apples or raw potatoes to this.
You can dress the vegetables with corn oil or sour cream.
You can add sprouted milled wheat, nuts, sprouted seeds, sprouted buckwheat.
Such salads are delicious, hearty and nutritious, ie.
contain the biological calories the body needs.
On such a diet (with variations of fruits and vegetables in season) lose weight smoothly, the body has time to adapt to weight loss, cleansing and new food composition.
Tissue renewal is achieved within 6-9 months.
During this time from the former volume remains only a memory, from the closet extracted outfits of twenty years ago, which turn out to be just right - the weight is reduced by 20-30 kg (sometimes 40 and more).
But the most important achievement is the cure of internal diseases, those that have been, and the prevention of those that may arise.
By the way, diabetes with or without associated obesity is cured within 3-5 months.
Completely normalizes blood sugar levels, eliminating the need for pills.
Insulin-dependent diabetes is cured more slowly - within a year.
Elevated blood pressure also normalizes within 1-2 months, in women eliminated nodules in the thyroid gland, breast glands (mastopathy), restored disturbed monthly cycle, ie.
the whole organism is treated and restored, not just one disease or one organ.
This is how natural medicine (naturopathy) treats illnesses, as opposed to pharmaceutical medicine, which disrupts the body's already compromised internal environment.
Nature heals with air, food and water.
As a result, the sick person, who has fallen out of the natural ecosystem, returns to it, harmonizes with it.
This is the principle and meaning of the treatment of all diseases.
"The art of sculpture is the art of mortification," said Michelangelo, convinced that in every block of marble there is a sculpture to be freed from unnecessary layering.
As accurately as possible this "winged" phrase fits the art of freedom from excess weight.
Get rid of unnecessary accumulations, and a beautiful living sculpture will come out - a healthy human body, proportional and harmonious!
