Hi there!
It’s Dr. Alan Christianson here.
In my ongoing pursuit to improve health (yours and mine), I just read a book called Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard by Chip and Dan Heath. In it they gave fascinating accounts of how seemingly insurmountable obstacles could change easily when one small situational aspect was altered.
One such story was about childhood starvation in Vietnam. A social worker with little funding was sent to make change. Rather than catalog the scores of reasons for abject poverty, he focused on the kids in the effected villages who were healthy. What did they do differently?
The diet was nearly all rice and little of it. Some parents fortified their children’s’ rice with small shrimps from the rice paddies and sweet potato greens discarded from neighbors’ gardens. These kids thrived. Yet neighbors with starving children thought these practices were beneath them and not helpful. By working with influential women in each neighborhood, he got the message out.
Although he was just one man with no budget, he saved thousands of lives when many with more resources had failed.
The book really made me think, what are the ‘shrimps and greens’ that can have the biggest effect on the health of Americans? The common thread that makes us tired and sick is weight gain. After spending a few hours with articles full of ‘true but useless’ statistics on how it happens, I think I’ve found the easiest solution!
The largest single problem with your diet is really simple; you eat too many calories. The excess of calories leads to weight gain. Over 60% of American adults are now overweight or obese. http://www.nichd.nih.gov/news/releases/holidayweightgain.cfm
I want to be VERY clear here; your unhealthy diet is killing you. Most chronic disease is secondary to weight gain. Up to 80% of chronic disease can be tied to diet. Weight gain caused chronic disease.
Did you know that most weight gain occurs over the holidays?
You, like many people probably have the perception that you gain 5-10 pounds over the holidays but then take the weight off again in the spring. Studies have shown that this belief is wrong in good ways and in bad ways. The good way it is wrong is that average holiday weight gain is lower, closer to 1 – 1.2 pound per year. The bad way it is wrong is that most Americans don’t ever lose this extra weight. Most adults gain 0.4 to 1.8 pounds per year. Not a big deal over a year but do the math. This is 4-18 pounds per decade or 12-60 pounds from age 20-50. Most adults are a lot like trees, you can accurately estimate their age by their circumference. In other words you gain a ‘ring’ of fat every year.
Most of that gain is over the holidays. The “In Good Health” Holiday Rejuvination plan will help offset the holiday weight gain, which will allow you to chip off a few pounds this, and every holiday season.
Along with the old standby of too many calories in and too few out, the other big reason for weight gain and chronic disease is environmental toxins. Let me explain.
Since 1904 we’ve added over 3 million new chemicals to our environment. Only a small fraction have had safety testing yet the vast majority cannot be eliminated by your body’s detox pathways.
Every day you are exposed to thousands of chemicals that your body is unable to eliminate. These build up everywhere in your body but some areas concentrate more than others. The organs most affected include your brain, liver, kidneys, thyroid, breasts and prostate. This is why diseases in these areas are on the rise. Diseases with known environmental causes include Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, breast cancer, heart disease, lymphoma, prostate cancer and pancreatic cancer.
Ironically, the presence of toxins impairs your body’s ability to eliminate wastes. Just like a clogged drain backs up a sink, chemicals build up in the very organs whose job is to eliminate chemicals. Unfortunately your systems of detoxification formed long before modern environmental chemicals were present.
These same toxins are also a reason it’s hard to lose weight. Your fat is the least metabolically active tissue, therefore it stores more waste than any other part of your body. One of the reasons it is hard to lose weight is that your liver cannot process the toxins in your fat.
Along with causing overt diseases, environmental toxins can contribute to a variety of low grade symptoms. Common ones include fatigue, bad breath, bloating, muscle aches and pains and mood changes.
Toxins enter your body from the air, surfaces you touch and your food and drink via your lungs, skin and intestinal tract. After being processed by your liver and kidneys, toxins are sent into our urine and intestines to be eliminated. A smaller fraction is passed out through your breath and sweat. Unfortunately, many modern chemicals re-enter your blood stream in your colon. From there they can store in your brain, your gland and your fat tissue. When you break down fat from weight loss, the wastes go into your colon and then most goes right back into your blood stream. This cycle can repeat for decades.
Thankfully vast research has gone into understanding the exact chemical pathways by which your body attempts to eliminate chemicals. This knowledge has led to the creation of the “In Good Health” Holiday Rejuvination process.
Make this year different. Speed your metabolism, lose belly fat and raise your energy levels.
It’s an easy decision. Join the “In Good Health” Holiday Rejuvination program.
The program will include an “In Good Health” diet and lifestyle regime to drastically eliminate wastes and break down your resistant abdominal fat.
