The Body and the Challenges of Weight Loss

 

 

The Body and the Challenges of Weight Loss

By Ellen Valentine

 

 

 

Statistics show that one in every two Americans is overweight. Are you or a loved in the fifty percentile ranks of the overweight American? With the numbers in, you know you're not alone and today, with this article let us take the heat off of the idea that you're an out of control person.That may not let you off the proverbial hook as far as your eating habits for good and long lasting health. Let's shed light on the root causes of the overweight epidemic.

Just as good digestion is the root of good health, poor digestion is the root of illness, into which category obesity and overweight fall. Illness is technically the body-out-of-balance; so, feeling uncomfortable in your body is illness. In the early years of bad digestion, unless a person suffers from acid reflux, it is possible that very few symptoms are experienced; however, there is still stress on the liver, gall bladder, pancreas, small intestine, putrefaction that builds in the large intestine. None of these aforementioned contribute either to good health or to healthy weight as bad digestion impacts detrimentally every organ in the body.

The liver and gallbladder emulsify fats.The liver lies over and almost completely covers the stomach. As the body's largest organ, save the Integumentary system, it has many metabolic and regulatory functions but the digestive role is to produce bile which is not an enzyme. Bile salts emulsify fats which is crucial. As bile accumulates it is stored in the gallbladder, a tiny green walled organ that nestles itself in a shallow at the liver inferior surface, until fats enter the body. If a body is overloaded with sugars, fats, alcohol, fast food and stress, the considerable stress on the liver begins to restrict its ability to perform important functions which help the body digest fats and metabolize sugar.

The tiny gallbladder seems dispensable. Most doctors will take it out for you, and sometimes rightly so because gall stones can travel through ducts and get stuck. Although there's much talk about gall stones, gravel and stones can accumulate in the liver, kidneys and urinary bladder. When you lose your gall bladder you lose a giant in fat emulsification. Only the pain is gone, the root cause, bad digestion is still there. Keep your gall bladder, emulsify those fats.

The pancreas in today's society is a much overworked dynamo of an organ. Eating too many cooked, sugary, junky meals without replenishing the body with raw fruits and vegetables, with all of their juicy minerals and enzymes intact, forces the pancreas to endlessly pump pancreatic enzymes into the duodenum, the first portion of the small intestine.The powerful small organ is the only one that produces enzymes that will break down all categories of food. A sluggish overworked pancreas cannot produce insulin, an important regulator of blood sugar, and it won't do the job of producing pancreatic digestive enzymes.

Ulcers are not uncommon with today's stressors, fast foods and lack of fresh and raw fruits and vegetables. The stomach, another organ which plays a huge role in digestion can become a fermenting dump instead of a healthy spot for protein digestion. All food passes through the stomach from the esophagus via the cardio-esophageal sphincter and into the small intestine via the pyloric sphincter. It is a temporary storage site and place for further food breakdown. It churns and mixes food, produces gastric juices and intrinsic factor for B-12 absorption. Protein breakdown by the stomach depends on the production of hydrochloric acid, HCL by parietal cells which then interact with pepsinogen produced by the chief cells to make pepsin, a necessary step to proper protein digestion.

Production of HCL dwindles around the age of forty, depending on digestive health. A person with truly bad digestion or bad eating habits could have poor HCL production in early years.The small intestine continues the breakdown of all foods, including proteins and carbohydrates.The breakdown of carbohydrates begins in the mouth with salivary amylase and continues in the small intestine with pancreatic amylase. Absorption of nutrients occurs along the many feet of the small intestine by the finger-like projections of the villi and microvilli until the end of the ileum.

All of this being said, once digestion, enzyme production and proper food assimilation decline, food is not digested properly, a body becomes undernourished, systems breakdown, waste accumulates along the walls of the large intestine, and something called leaky gut syndrome caused by candida yeast and parasitic infection is inevitable. Cravings for sugars, fats, alcohol, caffeine and fast food begin to rule the appetite. The entire body suffers and of course the body, out-of-synergy, accumulates unwanted pounds.

The solution, if you feel your body has succumbed to this syndrome and you are concerned with your health and overweight conditions, there is a healthy and happy solution: a mineral-rich diet from organic fruits and vegetables, perhaps digestive enzymes and HCL, eight glasses of pure water every day, minimal and selected protein from soy, spirulina, certain beans, organic chicken, eggs, and salmon from marine approved waters. No deprivation or starving, just better choices. You will let go of sodas, fast food, red meats, white sugar, white flour, white bread, dairy and alcohol. Let your body rest, exercise, cleanse and replenish and the weight will literally fall off. Make this not simply a week or month long diet, make this commitment a new way of life and live in the body of your desires.
