Fast Food with Antibiotics

September 29, 2017 By Nemira Leave a Comment

Fast food is harmful. Fast food contains antibiotics. Fast food with antibiotics does not bring benefits — chemicals are used in animals like chicken, beef, and pork. Restaurants serving fast food made promises to rid of chicken full of antibiotics. However, restaurants stuck with meat and pork, which is full of antibiotics.

You would ask why animals need antibiotics? Antibiotics prevent cows and pigs from diseases, rapid growth, and hormones.

People who use antibiotics weaken their immune systems. The good bacteria in the intestine start to disappear. Can the food not be adequately digested? What happens? Diarrhea and weakness bother us.

There is an escape from this situation. Proper rest, an organic diet, minerals, and probiotics can make a difference.

What Happens in Farms?


Animals live in crowded conditions. They get food full of antibiotics and hormones. They do not see the sun or breathe polluted air. Individuals who operate this business are concerned about weight gain during shorter periods.

Animals do not get probiotics. Nobody cares about well-being. Of course, highly praised animals such as horses that bring results and money for owners are treated differently.

Fast Food with Antibiotics

Unfortunately, farm animals have other destinies: after standing in crowded farms, without fresh air and activity, fed with antibiotics, they travel to the table, nicely pressed between buns and topped with ketchup. Hamburger anyone?

Why do quick serving restaurants not serve antibiotic-free meat?

I had the same question, but later on, I returned to the same pattern: money. Antibiotic-free meat is expensive. To grow animals and birds without hormones and antibiotics takes time and plenty of expenses. You need to give different food, provide space, let freely roam as chickens do, give supplements.

I hate to compare with people, but the comparison is here. Watch people who consistently eat in fast food chains and individuals who prepare food at home, go to farmers’ markets, watch their diet, and exercise.

Do We Have Any Choices?


According to Chicago Tribune reporter Samantha Bomkamp, there are some changes.

Fourteen of the top 25 chain restaurants have taken action on chicken, up from nine a year ago, according to the third annual Chain Reaction report, which grades companies’ policies. But there have been no new commitments to curb the use of antibiotics in beef and pork, the report found.

You see that there is progress with chicken. Unfortunately not with beef and pork. This article brings an objective perspective to everybody who still thinks fat fast food can be healthy and beneficial to eat every day.

Our choices are enormous because we can think about what we eat. We can look for information and talk with a knowledgeable health practitioner asking for advice regarding nutrition and lifestyle.

Why Is Full of Antibiotics Food Not Good?


According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ” at least 2 million Americans become sick, and 23 000 die yearly from antibiotic-resistant infections.” It is a crime.

Consumers Union stated that seventy percent of antibiotics sold in the U.S. are fed to healthy animals on industrial farms. When people consume food with antibiotics, they lose the ability to fight real diseases because their bodies are familiar with antibiotics. Medications can not fight infections quickly if something happens.

 Conclusion


We must think about how we lead our lives. We must check our habits and turn to safe alternatives. If we prepare food at home and bring something of it to a job, nothing will be hurt. We will win from this situation. At once, fast food is okay. However, eating junk food every day creates dangerous situations, as you see from the Chicago Tribune article.

Fat and Chicken Correlation

February 22, 2017 By Nemira 14 Comments

What has to do with the fat and chicken correlation with Randy? Randy is a man who got a spurring to his leg from a rooster a few decades ago. He was a skinny teenager, eleven years old. Now he is a big man who continually tries to outsmart the body’s fat.

In her book The  Secret Life of Fat, Sylvia Tara explains why Randy got himself in this situation where nobody could understand his weight changes.

How to lose belly fat

How did It happen?


Randy is from a family where everybody is slim. Unfortunately, after the accident with the rooster, Randy started to gain weight. It did not matter how much he forced himself to eat fewer pounds added up quickly. Randy was up and down between 200 and 230 pounds. He did not remember when he last time ate bread or pizza.

Fat and Chicken Correlation

Can viruses make chicken fat?


In India, doctor and scientist Nikhil Dhurandhar searched for answers: can viruses cause chicken fat? His friend, a veterinarian pathologist, finds out that the virus SMAM-1 killed thousands of chickens in India. Necropsy showed that fat was deposited in the abdomen. Nikhil thought about the influence of viruses on people. Maybe a virus can make people fat?

Nikhil Dhurandhar experimented with chicken and discovered that healthy chicken infected with SMAM-1 became fat. He thought about people because he had an obesity clinic in India. After testing for antibodies to SMAM-1, Nikhil found out that 20 percent of individuals were positive for antibodies for SMAM-1.

Fat and Chicken Correlation


Dr. Nikhil Dhurandhar moved to the USA to research the correlation between obesity and virus. He used the virus Ad-36, which had similar qualities to SMAM-1. His team found out that from over five hundred subjects, 30 percent were positive for Ad-36. All the people were obese.

Endocrinologist Richard Atkinson consulted Randy about obesity. It is explained politely, without blaming. Randy heard about the virus Ad-36 and his correlation with a fat, fat defense mechanism and the strategies he would need to conquer it.

Randy introduced Nikhil Dhurandhar. Randy’s blood was examined. It was tested positive for antibodies to Ad-36. Randy remembered the injury from the rooster and the change of weight after the accident.

It seemed that the virus Ad-36 helped him gain weight, plenty of it after a bloody cock attack.

How Can a Virus Make Us Fat?


Atkinson explains three ways how it can happen:

It increases the uptake of glucose from the blood and converts it to fat

It enhances the creation of fat molecules through fatty acid synthase, an enzyme that creates fat

It enables the production of more fat cells to hold all the fat by committing stem cells, which can turn into either bone or fat, into fat. So the fat cells that exist are getting bigger, and the body is creating more of them.

The direct correlation between  Ad-36 in chickens and humans were not directly studied. Dhurandhar and Atkinson have researched many cases showing the Ad-36 contribution to obesity. Unfortunately, skepticism between colleagues still exists.

The Assurance From Scientist


Studies done in labs show that Ad-36 has correlations with obesity. At this time, there is no treatment for Ad-36.

However, Richard Atkinson assures that ” if you have had the virus, and predisposed for the gain of fat, what you eat and how much you exercise is still in your control. You may have to work harder at it.”

Exercises

How is Randy doing now?


Randy has the discipline and works hard towards his goals. His weight dropped from 350 pounds to 170. His calories are 1200-1500 per day. Randy says, ” I’m a clap-along jogger of sixty-two who, for the first time in his life, might have the courage to take his shirt off in gym class…My goal now is to get to 160 pounds and then get into a Speedo!”(Sylvia Tara, The Secret Life of Fat,114)

Randy is happy now because he understands his condition. It was miserable to stay in the dark and not know what was happening with your body.

Conclusion


As you see, fat has many secrets and many ways to make our lives miserable. The information from doctors brings clarity and explains why we can not lose fat so quickly. However, hope is real. It is doable. We can outsmart fat as Randy did. Discipline is the key to victory against fat. Fat and chicken correlation opened new paths to learning about obesity.
