Manipulating Metabolism to Achieve Weight Loss?
Simply stated, metabolism is the process by which your body converts food
into energy. The faster your metabolism works the more calories you burn,
the slower your metabolism works, the fewer calories. Dieters are
sometimes misguided in their efforts to accelerate metabolism unnaturally
through the use of drugs or speedy supplements. This approach may
temporarily "jack - up" one's metabolic rate for the purpose of weight
loss, but over a longer term is doomed to fail, and any weight lost will,
no doubt, return with a vengeance.
In truth, over seventy percent of your metabolism is used for basic
functions such as breathing and heart beat, and is not easily controlled
(this is called Basal Metabolic Rate or BMR). Like a furnace set on
automatic for room temperature, your BMR burns calories at a fairly even
rate, twenty four hours a day. Products designed to speed up your BMR over
the long haul generally act like petro-fuel being tossed into your body's
"furnace." Such substances, usually stimulants (whether natural or
synthetic), are marginally safe for the short term but often have
dangerous side effects associated with continued or longer term use.
Once you stop taking the metabolism "accelerators" your body will react
violently in the reverse direction and overcompensate to "slow down the
burning", i.e. the yo yo effect where weight rapidly returns with a
vengeance, usually with interest!
The good news is, about thirty percent of your metabolism can be
controlled. How? Through physical activity, of course. In addition,
physical activity stimulates muscle growth, which is also good for weight
loss, as muscle tissue burns more calories than fat tissue. This is
nature's way of keeping your body lean.
But there's more good news - internal cleansing can also naturally speed
up a sluggish metabolism. When a body is toxic it attracts and holds onto
fat as a way of trapping toxins - an automatic protective mechanism to
keep them out of your bloodstream. In other words, the body's survival
instinct determines that it is of course better to be fat than dead! The
basic problem however is that this excess fat and toxin situation also
slows down metabolic function and you tend to keep getting fatter - until
you do something about the condition.
You may notice for example that when a bug runs into some bug spray and
begins to absorb toxins it will slow down gradually and then eventually
stop, dead in its tracks. Likewise the human body slows down as toxins are
absorbed through artificial food additives and environmental chemicals.
Our society has been thoroughly inundated with chemical preservatives,
artificial colors and flavors, chemical sweeteners, pesticides, industrial
chemicals and on and on to an unprecedented degree. Never before in our
history have people needed to deal with this insanely unnatural situation.
Bodies get confused when ingesting these non digestible toxins and
continually accumulate fat in their defense. Just observe the current
overweight and obesity crisis - not to mention all of the medical risk
factors proven to be associated with excess weight.
When you effectively rid the body of these toxins the metabolism picks up
speed and resumes its normal rate of food burning. Weight that held on
tenaciously before seems to just fall off and normal body functions are
restored.
A recent University study conducted by Dr. Michale Gonzales (Bachelor
degree in biology and chemistry (Catholic University), Masters in Cellular
Biology and Biophysics (Nova University), Masters in Nutrition and Public
Health (University of P.R.), Doctorate in Health Sciences (Lafayette
University), Doctorate in Nutritional Medicine (John F. Kennedy
University) and a Doctorate on Nutritional Biochemistry and Cancer Biology
(Michigan State University) showed a direct correlation between system
detoxification and weight loss, increased metabolism and restored health.
Amazing body chemistry corrections often occur with lowered cholesterol
levels, lowered glucose levels and increased Ph levels resulting from
correctly administered cleansing. Each and every one of us can easily
reverse the downward spiral of unwanted weight gain and compromised health
in this simple way.
Conclusion: When it comes to controlling weight, the word metabolism only
need enter the conversation relating to how fast one is burning calories
through physical activity. Stay away from products that promise to speed
up metabolism over a long-term basis. Cleanse periodically to restore
metabolic efficiency and phase into a proper diet consisting mainly of
chemical free, natural foods. And regular physical activity is of course
your best guarantee over the long haul.
