BODY BASICS
The type of food, as well as when
you take a supplement will make
you burn more calories and reduce
your caloric intake by curbing your
appetite.
We need four elements to remain
healthy: 1) water, 2) sunlight,
3) good food and 4) oxygen.
Unfortunately, the overuse or misuse
of either one of the four elements
will lead to disease formation. We
could not live without oxygen, but
this precious element could also be
the source of our destruction.
The theory of the free radical or
oxidation is the most accepted
theory in the scientific world. This
theory insinuates that we get
“oxidized” in a simple word, we
rust. For example, observe an iron
rod little by little, with the action of
water, wind and sun exposure, this
iron rod will rust. If you have ever
looked at a concrete pile reinforced
with iron rods, you might eventually
see some rusty spots on the
concrete surface. The rods have
been oxidized and have rusted.

You can paint and repaint the rusty
spots, but in time the rusty spots will
reappear.
This is what happens to us. Our
arteries get plugged, our brain
gets damaged, our bones become
brittle and our lungs get darker due
to cigarette smoking or pollution.
Every part or organ in our body
is submitted to the damage of free
radicals.
Studies have shown that poor
nutrition and malnourishment
are reflected by a decrease in
blood levels of micronutrients and
trace elements as well as many
vitamins. Fat accumulation is also
generated by malnutrition which
also generates inflammation in
the body. Inflammation seems to
be at the base of many diseases.
One of the consequences of
malnutrition, inflammation and
obesity is a disease named
metabolic syndrome. Metabolic
syndrome is the generic name
of chronic conditions such as
obesity, hypertension, diabetes
mellitus and hyperlipidemia. All
of these conditions are the result
of inactivity and poor nutrition.
The increasing weight gain is
due to fat accumulation in your
abdomen which then moves into
your muscles. This is the birth of
an illness.
While eating high fat, high protein,
high refined carbohydrate diets,
you deprive yourself from essential
and healthy nutrients. Pizza dough
and hamburger buns are not
made with whole grain flour, but
rather with processed white flour.
White flour is bleached, stripped
of all nutritional elements and
fibers. Meat balls on the pizza or
the meat from the hamburgers is
usually rich in bad fat. The fat is
doubled by mayo or extra cheese
and reinforced by processed
tomato sauce and corn syrup.
Now you have a high refined
carbohydrate, high fat, high protein
diet. Oversized portions as well
as your inactivity will lead to being
overweight, if not obese.
