IS THERE a diet to end all diets? Truth is, losing weight is more than just dieting, it’s about changing your lifestyle. The little things you do everyday contribute to your well-being and your beauty, whether you are a man or a woman.
What is the big picture? The fact that the entire body and all its organs are in constant communication. Picture this—the brain talks to every part of the body just as every organ talks to the brain.
This was clearly explained in Nicholas Perricone’s book “The Perricone Weight-Loss Diet.” It is known that muscle, bone and organs are derived from the three basic layers of tissue within the embryo—thus explaining the numerous similarities between the skin and brain, like function and form.
So what really causes weight gain? Apart from hormonal imbalances that can be corrected by an endocrinologist, lifestyle becomes a major factor. Food has a tremendous impact on inflammation and how it can affect the body’s metabolism. Inflammation causes rapid aging, weight gain and muscle mass loss or sarcopenia.
Scientists have discovered that waist size is a good indicator of a person’s risk of insulin resistance—the early stage of diabetes and heart disease. Swedish scientists found out that waist size can be used to measure one’s sensitivity to insulin. Hans Wahrenberg, who is from the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, said in an online report in the British Medical Journal that “a waist circumference of less than 39 inches reduces the risk of individuals from both sexes of insulin resistance.”
So the warning is clear: If your waist is in the danger size, it’s a sign that you are close to wasting your health.
What you eat is what you get
Food affects you in more dramatic ways than you think. Here is a guaranteed waist-saving regimen: Eat food with lots of Omega-3.
Called the weight-loss miracle, Omega-3 will increase the efficiency of your metabolism. Another study has also revealed that, with Omega-3, increased thermogenesis—fat-burning—happens.
Science has now proven beyond any doubt that nutritional foods and their components can directly affect, influence and control the metabolic genes in the body’s cells. It is important to note that the prevailing diet imbalance today is an oversupply of Omega-6 and a deficiency in Omega-3.
The human body does not produce these essential fats, therefore there is a need to obtain them from our diets. The modern-day diet is high in saturated fatty acids (meat grains and vegetable oils, full-fat dairy products) and low in essential fatty acids (fish, algae, seaweed, shellfish)
Omega-3 benefits include weight loss, increased energy, high-blood pressure control, increase HDL (good cholesterol), decreased LDL (bad cholesterol), better control over high blood sugar.
Affirm today: “My world is more beautiful each day.”
Love and light!
