Help for Obese Children

December 1, 2017 By Nemira Leave a Comment

Help for obese children

Help for obese children must be constructive and based on scientific facts. Obese children can have more problems in life compared with tiny peers. First, the appearance is different. Modern clothes do not fit. Big children cannot enjoy activities as much as children who do not have problems with weight.

Obese children do have an unhealthy microbiome that does not provide benefits for food digestion and absorption. Besides, obese children consume processed food that lacks vital nutrients.

Help for obese children

Nutrition


Proper nutrition plays a vital role. Nutritious food gives minerals and other nutrients such as proteins, vitamins, amino acids, and bioflavonoids. Processed food offers empty calories, which are later on converted to fat. Sugary drinks lead to the risk of catching diabetes and weight gain.

Microbiome


There is evidence that children’s microbiome can influence weight gain. Microbes can change the way how the body gets energy from food. Circadian rhythms are affected by microbes too. This way, the body turns how and when the liver works. Liver stores glucose which is converted to energy when it is needed.

Without proper energy, children can become sluggish. It is the same pattern as with adults. When we feel tired, we grasp for coffee and something sweet. Processed foods lift us for a while, but lacking nutrients prompts us to eat more, making us happy.

Children who develop a taste for sweets linger for more of them. It is better to offer them food rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. In this way, children will be fulfilled and will not crave sweets.

Help For Obese Children

Think about the time when they were born. Babies do not know what sweets are. They crave them when candies and cakes are always around and introduced to them.

A diet full of processed and fatty foods triggers the growth of different bacteria. These microbes do not have a day-and-night rhythm. They are less diverse than germs from the healthy gut with nutritious food. Besides it, when these microbes change a liver’s rhythm, it becomes incompatible with the rhythm of the brain. The perception of time differs for the liver and brain. It creates turmoil as the body is not balanced anymore. One of the results is the increased storage of fat.

Do you see how everything is connected? Processed food changes the quality and quality of microbes in the gut. Later on, it affects the circadian rhythm in the liver. The liver, which stores glucose, does not work together with the brain. These systems interpret time differently. I call systems because it is the more complicated process involving not just organs but tissues, nerves, vessels, etc.

How can you help?


Providing nutritious food would help the gut microbiome to be happy and healthy. Researchers found out that there is a constant interaction between the microbiome, immune system, and brain. When the microbiome changes, neurotransmitters produced by bacteria start to behave in a harmful way.  It means that children can feel not real hunger but increased cravings instead of it. The satiety feeling changes. Children do not think about limits when they eat. Processed food is high in calories. It means that children can gain weight faster.

You can protect children against obesity by introducing them to healthy foods. Everybody would be happy: children, microbes, and you.

What to do when a child is obese?


The authors of the book Dirt Is Well advised changing the microbiome using fecal transplant, severe changes in the diet, or probiotic therapy.

There are reports that fecal transplants make positive changes in individuals’ microbiomes. Maybe it sounds gross, but this procedure can be a savior if somebody does not have the strong will to keep up with the diet. Fecal transplants are from healthy individuals and are carefully inspected.

Probiotic therapy works for animals in a significant way. Mice, after probiotics, got better insulin production.

The dietary approach works best. However, to see changes and diet take at least nine months. Maybe with children, diets would work better compared with adults. You can divert the child’s attention to games or play outside. Adults are different. They cling to old habits and later complain about why their weight increased more than before the diet.

How does the diet work for the microbiome?


Help For Obese Children

When introducing healthy products, harmful bacteria do not get sugar and other junk from processed food. Bacteria starve to death, and good bacteria change it.

Good bacteria restore a healthy relationship with the liver and brain. Circadian rhythm works as Nature created: in the balance.

Conclusion


Obesity hurts self-esteem and opens gates for disorders. The best way to avoid weight gain is to have a healthy diet and control the amounts of children’s food. The microbiome changes when sugary and processed food is introduced. The move prompts weight gain and inflammation. A healthy diet and watching how much one eats prevents obesity.

Magnesium For Obesity

November 30, 2017 By Nemira Leave a Comment

Magnesium for Obesity

Magnesium for obesity is a beneficial mineral. The research shows that metabolic reactions in the body require vitamins and minerals. They work as cofactors for many enzyme systems.

When the body lacks minerals and vitamins, various symptoms show up. For example,  if the mouse with obesity genes lacks vitamin B, it becomes overweight. When vitamin B is sufficient, the mouse stays in shape.

Magnesium For Obesity

Scientists found out that magnesium influences gene expression. When magnesium is sufficient, obesity genes do not make progress and stay still.

Abdominal obesity


Abdominal obesity is influenced by magnesium. The belly fat correlates with magnesium deficiency.

How does it happen?


When magnesium is deficient, the mineral does not help the cell accept glucose coming in. Cells that do not respond to insulin and do not open for glucose to go in are insulin resistant. Glucose levels rise in the blood, and more and more insulin is produced.

Dr. Carolyn Dean points out the research from The Magnesium Factor by authors Seelig and Rosanoff. It shows that half of the insulin in the bloodstream is pointed at the abdominal tissue. When people are on a refined sugar diet, the abdominal circumference becomes more prominent, processing more insulin.

I did not meet anybody who would carry extra weight and be on a diet like a rabbit or horse. These guys do not consume soda drinks and do not like fast food. Processed food and sugary beverages harm the body, stripping away minerals from sugar metabolism.

Magnesium deficiency is associated with chronic inflammation. Conditions related to obesity, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and osteoporosis, contain symptoms of inflammation.

Everything is connected


You see how everything is connected. The lack of magnesium in the body triggers obesity, followed by chronic disorders. A poor diet, such as processed food and soda drinks, does not have minerals and vitamins. These foods stripe magnesium too. The body, deficient in nutrients, cannot perform well.

It is a vicious cycle that can be stopped by changing lifestyle and diet.

Soda Tax Is Good

October 6, 2017 By Nemira 2 Comments

The soda tax is good because everybody addicted to soda drinks would start to think about why these fees are higher than before. Nobody likes it when prices go up.  However, high rates do not mean that the item or product is of good quality. After all, nobody will be harmed if soda sales would go down.

Why do soda drinks require tax?


Soda Tax Is Good

I hope that you know that soda drinks contain plenty of sugar. This sugar is not brown or molasses. It is white sugar striped from minerals and other nutrients — taste buds like a pleasant feeling. Unfortunately, the body has plenty of problems.

Tax on soda would help people to stop and think about where to spend the money. Soda drinks are addictive, but they do not have any nutritional value; they only pave the path to obesity.

Obesity


It is not a surprise that in North America, the obesity skyrocketed. A few generations ago, people were in shape and did not get diabetes as often as now. We can blame parents or the government, but it does not help get rid of problems. We must know that we are responsible for our choices.

If you want to drink soda drinks where sugar is hidden, but you get eight spoons of sugar in every can, the consequences are dangerous. It is terrible for us, families, and health professionals. Doctors could spend their valuable time treating other diseases.

Unfortunately, it is not easy to get rid of bad habits. Happily, soda taxes cause turmoil, which makes people think why these taxes on soda got up.

Diabetes


One of the main reasons that people get diabetes is a sinful lifestyle. Overeating, a sedentary lifestyle, and the lack of nutrients create an avalanche of problems. It seems that people do not want to be in bad shape, but on the other hand, individuals seldom look for information and ask questions from knowledgeable health professionals.

It does not need to be in this way. Of course, there are other problems. It isn’t straightforward. However, by watching over diet, getting off from the coach, and consistently following the advice of excellent doctors, people could change everything for a pleasant outcome.

How are soda taxes good?


Soda Tax Is Good

Soda taxes bring light to things that are not new. It shows the magnitude of the problems. Soda drinks do not bring wanted results to people. Addiction to sugar is a common thing for people.

What is harmful to soda drinks?


Significant amounts of sugar in soda drinks strip bodies of minerals. Magnesium is removed with waste because the body needs minerals to utilize the harm of sugar.

When the body lacks magnesium, the body’s metabolism suffers. You can read more about magnesium’s role in the human body.

The mechanism of sugar harm


Sometimes, it is not easy to grasp why sugar harms us. I like sweets, especially chocolate. Thankfully, I understand the reason, and now I  know why I was addicted. I am cured now.

There are steps in the sugar mechanism

  • The meal or can of soda with eight to ten spoons of sugar inside reaches the stomach
  • It stimulates an insulin response from the pancreas
  • Insulin normalizes blood sugar levels
  • When there is too much insulin, the levels of blood sugar go down, and sugar goes into the cells
  • The low level of blood sugar causes adrenaline
  • The adrenaline from the adrenal glands stimulates to raise blood sugar back to normal.
  • Constant usage of sweets and sugary drinks exhausts the pancreas and adrenal glands.
  • Albeit there is too much insulin, which is stimulated by soda drinks, cell’s receptor sites shut down.
  • It leads to insulin resistance. It means that insulin can not transport sugar into cells.
  • Sugar cannot get into the cells where it is turned into energy
  • Sugar becomes elevated in the blood, which damages the eyes, heart, and kidneys in adult-onset diabetes.

Conclusion


Soda drinks do not bring well-being to our bodies. There are plenty of risks, such as obesity, the lack of minerals such as magnesium, and diabetes. The soda tax will remind us that we can choose better options to indulge ourselves.

When the body goes out of balance, who will be responsible for the latest consequences? There are plenty of examples that show that the wrong lifestyle and poor diet do not lead to a joyful life. It creates just misery. Of course, we enjoy a few minutes of excitement, but after that, we do not fit into the airplane seat. Let’s not feel sorry about soda taxes and think about how to preserve the most valuable asset: health.

Update


The Chicago newspaper, Chicago Tribune, followed the ups and downs of debated sugar taxes. Few informative articles showed up about reasons why these taxes will touch residents and sellers. “Philadelphia’s soda taxes offer lessons,” “Doomed soda tax was never about our health,” and ” Cook County retailers cheer soda tax repeal” painted the colorful picture of various points from the view of customers, sellers, government officials, and journalists. What do you think about how it ended? Despite durable pieces of evidence that sugary drinks harm most vulnerable people in Hispanic and African-American communities, taxes did not go up.

Of course, adults want to make their own decisions. People who drink these sugary drinks are addicted to them from childhood. More significant prices will not stop them. Instead of a rational and constant explanation about harm, the offer to increase taxes on soda drinks showed up. Sellers did not like it and fought back. They won.

“(Taxpayers) will continue to cover the rising costs of treating the chronic diseases caused by drinking too many sugary beverages while also seeing cuts to health care services for our most vulnerable communities,” Elissa Bassler, CEO of the Illinois Public Health Institute, said in a statement.

Chicago Tribune, Thursday, October 12, 2017

It is a long journey from realizing that nobody else will take care of you. Only the understanding that health is the most critical asset will change the situation.

You and you can make decisions regarding everything. Companies that produce these drinks do not want to lose clients. It is a business, nothing more. However, tobacco companies print on packages that smoking is harmful to our health. Maybe it will happen with sugary drinks?

Increase Energy with Supplements

July 19, 2017 By Nemira Leave a Comment

Increase energy with supplements because the quality of life depends on it. You would ask why I need power. Sufficient energy lets you perform tasks that can be unpleasant, but it would lead to the achievement of your goals. For example, you would like to expand your knowledge about your hobby or passion, but you are tired after work or stressful situations that deplete your energy.

Supplements fill the nutrient gap in the body when stress or lifestyle changes occur. A deficiency of minerals, vitamins, or proteins causes energy to disappear. Nutrients are vital for the body’s metabolism. Without them, the body cannot perform well.

Our body is capable of everything but just with one condition.

The essential condition


The body must get all vital nutrients for performance, detoxification, renovation, and balance.

How do we lose energy?


The power lost:

  1. Consuming junk food
  2. Drinking sugary drinks
  3. Leading sedentary life
  4. Overeating of carbs
  5. Consuming too much caffeine
  6. Lacking protein in the diet
  7. Not drinking enough water

Consuming junk food


Increase Energy with Supplements

Junk food such as processed, heated, and full of preservative items drain minerals and do not provide nutrients to our bodies. Minerals participate in body metabolism. When we get empty calories from junk food, the body can not use them for building blocks, detoxifying, creating, and renewing cells. Sooner or later, the body depletes resources because junk food has no minerals and vitamins. For example, magnesium regulates the flow of calcium to the cell. Processed food and drinks are enriched with insoluble calcium that deposits in soft tissues. Magnesium can protect the body from calcification.

Drinking sugary drinks


There is no news that soda drinks contain plenty of sugar. Sugar is the bad boy and creates many problems, such as diabetes, blindness, mental degeneration, and one hundred or more conditions. These conditions are described on Nancy Appleton’s website: www.nancyappleton.com. Sugar depletes nutrients. The magnesium becomes deficient, and we experience a lack of energy. It means that we need to drink more sodas. With these habits, a vicious cycle occurs. Children become accustomed to junk food and drinks. They become obese, sluggish, and without energy.

Leading sedentary life


Increase Energy With Supplements

Nowadays, health practitioners and lifestyle activists spread the message about the harm of a sedentary lifestyle. Unfortunately, habits can not be changed overnight. More, people sit in offices, and they are so tired that they dream about a tasty dinner in the late evening and a comfortable bed. Who can blame them? Not me or you, but individuals could think about incorporating activities into daily life.


Using stairs instead of the elevator, walking long distances from the car, stretching every half hour, playing with kids or in a team, and thinking about ways to move more would make a difference in our lives and increase energy levels. Muscles need to work. By starting with small steps and not forcing bodies, we can change ourselves completely.

Eating too many carbs


Increase Energy with Supplements

You know that carbs are fast-burning material. We eat them, and after the half-hour, we would be delighted to catch another piece of cake. The indulgence is not a bad thing—the time from the time we need to have pleasure. Unfortunately, we do not know the limits—for example, me. I used to eat a big piece of dark Belgian chocolate every week. The weight was one pound. I could not resist temptation. However, I felt irritated from time to time.

Carbohydrates make us feel tired because they cause a spike in blood sugar and the last drop. It does not bring any benefits because the feeling of energy disappears. We feel irritation, elevations of mood, and exhaustion.

Consuming too much caffeine


If you drink coffee and caffeinated drinks, adrenal glands produce large amounts of adrenaline. It prompts the production of the stress hormone cortisol. We feel the energy for a while, but levels drop, and we need more stimulant caffeine. Caffeine drains water and minerals from our bodies. Previously, I thought, why in Italy do they provide coffee with a glass of delicious water? The answer is here. If we want to enjoy coffee, we need to drink adequate amounts of pure water.

Lacking proteins in the diet


Proteins are the building blocks of cells. Without proteins, the body can not efficiently use energy. The skin, hair, muscle, and connective tissue contain mainly protein. Protein is a part of enzymes and hormones produced in the body. Cells communicate with each other thanks to proteins.

The deficiency of proteins in our diets leads to

  •       Apathy
  •       Weakness, the lack of muscle mass
  •       Low levels of stomach acid
  •       Low body temperature
  •       High or low blood sugar
  •       Bad nails and hair
  •        Intolerance of dairy products
  •        Cravings for dairy, meat, peanut butter, or eggs

Not drinking enough water


Increase Energy with Supplements

Water is the source of life in the same way as air and nutrients. Water is part of cells and is used for body metabolism. We lose water constantly. Caffeine, exercise, sugary drinks, and spicy food deplete resources in the body. Energy disappears when we do not drink enough water or drink soda, which drains minerals and the rest of the vital nutrients.

Increase energy with supplements


Dietary organic supplements provide new nutrients replacing lost nutrients in daily life. We are stressed, tired, and malnourished ( I do not count pizza as the complete food for well-functioning bodies). Energy could not be restored without our help. It would be wonderful if we could get nutrients with diet. Unfortunately, food does not contain vital minerals, amino acids, enzymes, proteins, and vitamins.

By replenishing our bodies with supplements,  we could get energy back and be productive, more healthy, and contented.

You would ask what kind of supplements I have in mind. The Total Body ReSet was created by Dr. Carolyn Dean, M.D., N.D. Will detoxify, replenish, strengthen, and balance your body. You can read about these products more here. These products are pure. It means that minerals are 100 percent absorbed at the cellular level. Restructure High Protein powder contains whey protein, which gives the body regain and keeps the energy constant. There are no artificial sweeteners, no chemicals, or extra stuff.

All supplements are researched and produced using quality standards. Customers feel well and want to use Total Body ReSet formulas consistently. Why? Because we do not get all nutrients from organic food.

Total Body Reset formulas concentrated. It gives support, strength, and nutrition to the whole body.

I use  Dr. Carolyn Dean’s formulas myself and feel that I am relaxed, energetic, and balanced. I want to spread the message about these dietary supplements because Total Body ReSet formulas are the best of the best. Try it!
