 Christopher Ayu's Healthy Eating and Weight Loss Guide

If we consider our bodies to be engines, then it seems to reason that we should feed them the fuel they were engineered to run on for optimal performance. Our bodies used to get the right balance of nutrients on a daily basis before the advent of processed and manufactured meals.

The traditional roles of the husband and wife in the home changed as a result of the growing number of households in which both partners worked outside the home. "Convenience" and "fast foods" supplanted farmers, and processing plants became the standard. Modern diets are so filled with unhealthy fats and artificial preservatives that our bodies aren't getting enough of the nutrients they need and are storing excess fat and preservatives.

Weight issues, skin problems, fatigue, illness, and general bad health are all symptoms of a dietary imbalance. Despite the epidemic level of this problem, it is within your power to turn around the consequences of a bad diet if you put your mind to it.

Debris Enters, Debris Exits

This term may have originated in the computer industry, but it certainly applies to our own bodies. In order to maintain good health, our bodies are constantly producing the necessary chemicals, fluids, proteins, and tissues. The body relies on food, or more specifically, the nutrition that is obtained from food, to manage all of these activities.

The body either stores, uses, or discards everything we eat. What our bodies need nutritionally at any given moment can change dramatically based on our internal and external circumstances. In order to meet our immediate energy demands, our body considers factors such as the time since our last meal, our overall health, and the amount of time since we last burned fat or carbohydrates.

There is a precise sequence in which the body uses fuel. Our bodies can't store alcohol for subsequent use, so it's burned first. In order of metabolism, protein comes out on top, followed by carbs and fat.

The typical American diet is high in fat, so when we eat it last, our bodies put the fat away for later use. Who or what stores this fat? No surprise there; adipose tissue is where it gets kept. The reason being overweight is referred to as "fat" is indeed related.

These extra fat deposits have serious consequences for our health and our looks. Excess fat in the diet is associated with various health problems, according to several studies:

- An elevated chance of acquiring specific malignancies.

- High cholesterol is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and arterial disease.

- Stroke risk is elevated.

Diabetes is more likely to occur.

- Liver disease is more likely to occur.

- Effects on the immune system of the body observed directly.

It seems to reason that cutting back on daily fat consumption will help us avoid these needless health hazards. That is correct.



No way!
