SMART SLIMMING – EAT HEALTHY LOSE WEIGHT SMART

Over the years our genes almost didn’t change, however we changed our life style and diet. We got used to comfort, we forgot about the good, old eating habits. We eat new dishes which are beautiful, colorful, artificial and unhealthy. Let’s use spring to say stop to the worthless meals and snacks.

 

The drastic changes in our diet and life style can be the reason of tragic statistics. In the highly developed countries over 60% of society has problems with excessive deposition of fat tissue. Every tenth Pole is obese and over 30% of women and 50% of men are overweight.

The overweight gradually leads to obesity that can cause the development of many chronic diseases – e.g. cardiovascular disorders (cardiac disease, hypertension, venous insufficiency), diabetes, disorders of kidneys, digestive, respiratory and nervous systems. Later on it can cause the rheumatological disorders, immune system disorders, cancers and others. The modern civilization promotes the ideal of slim body, however on the other hand it creates many temptations that make it hard to reach this ideal. Over 100 years the number of food products that are at our disposal increased from around 500 to 50000 and the energy decreased to 25% of calories that we used to burn.

According to the recent research the obesity is a disease connected to the qualitative malnutrition of the body.

At the beginning of the 20th century the natural complex carbohydrates (unprocessed: seeds, groat, vegetables, sometimes fruit) constitute over 50% of our diet. Today it is only 20%. Instead, we eat two times more fat and 250% more purified carbohydrates and sugar.

In 1985 the nutrition committee working for WHO determined average nutrition norms for the highly developed countries, but already in 1991 it turned out that e.g. because of the processing the food lacks about 40% of vitamins, micro and macroelements as well as the fiber.

After years those proportions are even more unbalanced. An average man, after feeling the deficiency, compensates it with additional portion of food, getting rid of the qualitative hunger and he gets fat. He distorts the balance of the compounds in the organism ruining the cells. We are completely lost in the rules of healthy eating.

The overweight is mostly the effect of many years of making nutritional mistakes. The more we try to lose weight the more problems it creates.

What is the reason of getting weight ?

• over processed food (containing big amounts of sugar, chemical flavor, scent substances, preservatives, artificial colorants);
• canned food, ready meals, meals prepared and warmed in the microwave ovens;
• excess of pastry containing soya and gluten;
• big amount of white bread, purified rice, sweets, sugar;
• processed plant oils (trans fatty acids);
• yoghurts containing powdered milk (oxysterols);
• industrial, processed juices;
• excess of coffee and strong tea;
• sweetened fizzy drinks deprived of nutrients;
• beer and beloved “coke” with orthophosphoric acid that makes it hard to absorb calcium and magnesium, it also irritates the stomach mucosa.

Vicious circle

While taking care of our silhouette we make terrible mistakes – we resign from breakfast, we eat irregularly during the day, the meals are often unbalanced when it comes to quality and quantity, we eat also sweets and snacks full of empty calories between the meals. According to the most recent news, obesity is an illness connected to the qualitative malnutrition of the body.

Most often the overweight is an effect of many years of making nutritional mistakes. The more we try to lose weight, the more problems it brings. The “miraculous” diets give momentary effects and they do not cause the balance in the organism.

On the contrary, they often disrupt the balance of building components inhibiting the metabolic processes. Solely a diet with a limited number of calories (e.g. up to 1000 kcal) also does not work. At current qualitative limitation of food, we cannot complement all the necessary nutrients. At the time of each weight loss diet, which is not a starvation diet, the metabolic processes are inhibited by 15-30%.

When we try to suppress the mental needs, we obsessively focus on food and body mass, we often fall into other traps, so the eating disorders.

This phenomenon is caused by diminishing the muscle mass where the processes of burning carbohydrates and fats take place and by diminishing the efficiency of thyroid hormones which are responsible for the regulation of metabolism.

When after the end of treatment we go back to our usual eating habits, the weight usually increases to the level above the initial state. A new diet begins when the fat tissue is much thicker and the metabolic processes are much lower. We reach a vicious circle – at each new trial the starting conditions are much harder, the impoverishment of the organism with the nutrients which are necessary for the proper functioning and the kilograms grow.

How to lose weight wisely ?

The key issue of losing weight are not kilograms but a long-term maintenance of a new weight. A well set program will never be a starvation diet. Despite the reduction of calories it enables supplying the whole organism in essential nutrients. With a properly adjusted diet, depending on our type of burning, we unblock the absorption mechanism and make the whole body work more effectively.

We feel better and we look better and the weight control becomes easier. By using the rules of quantum mechanics of the body we can influence its physiological state. That is why a proper treatment combining relaxation methods, studying stress reduction with a proper nourishment will let us reach the goal quickly. Our body is adjusted only for a combined usage of the nutrients.

The digestive system disorders are conditioned psychosomatically. Rush, tiredness, anxiety, pain, fear, anger are emotions that negatively influence digestion.

A daily diet should include a proper amount of proteins, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, plant fibers and herbs.

Supplying them in proper amounts supplies each cell with a set of nutrients. An advantage of such a diet is unblocking the absorption mechanism. Food can be fully used and the toxins can be thrown out. That increases the flow of energetic potential on the cell membranes and it enhances the functioning of the whole body. In this way we diminish the toxic burden in the body regaining the balance which we all need. We must remember that a body purified of toxins perfectly knows what is the best for it, it is us who lost the instinct and do not pay attention to the body signals.

Let’s remember:

• If you want to lose kilograms, do not go on diet but change your way of nutrition.
• A weight losing diet cannot be a one-stand torture that ends when the treatment ends.
• A proper diet must lead to the balance of the organism, the change of habits and creation of a new model of nutrition for future.
• The process of permanents weight reduction without effort is possible when:
• We believe in ourselves
• We learn to reduce stress
• We stop obsessively count calories and try to lose weight all the time
• Instead we should learn to nourish regularly – by properly composing meals we will improve the work of intestines and we will complement the necessary nutrients.

Stress: a serious enemy

Every year there are more factors that disrupt the state of natural balance. The artificial electromagnetic waves, noise and toxins are strengthened. Those factors on the level of information sent by cells cause a total chaos and stress. The disorder of homeostasis influences not only the body, but also the mind. We feel bad more often and we are emotionally exhausted. A momentary stress cause the defense reaction causing a general mobilization of the body. However a long-term stress factors lead to: weakening of the immunity, disorders of the metabolic process and imbalance of the hormone state.

If we fail to fight the additional kilograms, it is time for a cleansing – regenerating therapy. A proper diet, relaxation, massages, sound baths can work miracles.

For months and years we fight the tiredness, apathy, sleepiness, anxiety. Those symptoms, even when are often neglected, increase the sensitivity to infections leading to many serious diseases. The resulting nervous tension may be a reason for malfunctioning of the intestines, pancreas inflammations, problems with thyroid or depression – which make it easier to gain weight.

The dysfunctions of the digestive system are strongly influenced psychosomatically. Rush, tiredness, anxiety, pain, fear, despair, anger are the emotions that disrupt the production of digestive juices and stop the intestinal passage. Food eaten in such moments is mostly not absorbed, it ferments, rots and poisons the organism. The problems with a weakened pancreas lead to hyperinsulinemia, with a pancreas – they disrupt the metabolism and enable the fat tissue deposition.

Food obsessions

When we want to suppress the mental needs we obsessively focus on eating and our weight, often falling into a trap of eating disorders.

In our culture food is a pleasure, it is associated with love, bond, consolation, entertainment, happy events and with an intensive weight loss, with a strong will and decidedness. The symptoms of anorexia, bulimia and internal obligation became a plague of the modern world. We are tired of our habits, miraculous diets, low esteem and we are lost in all the information concerning food.

There are people that with cannot eat while feeling even just a bit stressed, however most of us try to forget about it – by eating. As a consolation we usually use products that cause euphoria, such as chocolate, bars, ice-cream and other sweets. Then, despite the earlier efforts, we stop controlling the appetite and we get fat again.

If we fail to fight excessive fat being the result of stress, it is time for proper cleansing-regenerating therapies. A properly adjusted diet, relaxation and sound baths can work miracles. Helpful are also the slimming therapies in the beauty salons and SPA resorts – they relax and improve the self esteem.

By knowing the rules of proper nutrition and diets, we can get rid of overweight for a long time. A properly balanced diet and meals of good quality will become a pleasure, not an obligation and another “miraculous diet”. In stress management helpful can be respiratory exercises, good meditation tapes, music therapy, tai-chi, yoga. Each way to relax that can clean our minds and make us regain the self-confidence leads us to success. Each physical activity – cycling, walking, hiking can remove tension and reduce stress. If we cannot take out the anger on a person who made us angry, we have to run faster, hit a ball harder, make more exercises and we will get a double benefit – less stress and less additional calories.
