Why Americans Are Fat And Getting Fatter

Although ti's not just Americans anymore! But we do consume drugs, antibiotics, growth hormones, refined sugars, trans fats, preservatives, herbicides, pesticides, and literally thousands of chemicals very single day. 

Where are we getting all this stuff from? 

Our diet. Yes, the food we eat and most everything we drink, thanks to our modern food preserving and processing techniques. All this has caused symptoms and disorders such as:

  • clogged liver
  • clogged colin
  • candida yeast overgrowth
  • enzyme deficiency
  • allergies
  • diabetes
  • cardiovascular problems 
  • irregular bowel syndrome
  • acid reflux
  • obesity
  • cancer
  • inefficient pancreas
  • underactive thyroid
  • plus many others


Many of the above disorders cause weight gain, especially an underachieve thyroid condition called hypothyroidism, which is when your thyroid gland is unable to produce the hormone thyroxine, which is responsible to control your body's metabolic rate.

The thyroid is controlled by the hypothalamus gland. 

The hypothalamus gland is in the mid section of the brain, command central, as it controls almost every organ in the body. It also controls the nervous system, muscles, gut, energy reserves, the immune system. body temperature, weight and appetite.



How does the hypothalamus get abnormal? 

Besides genetics, there are many more reasons why your hypothalamus gland gets dysfunctional; clogged live and/or colon, growth hormones, antibiotics, trans fats artificial sweeteners, drugs, chemicals, food additives and many more.



All the substances mentioned above get into your system through the food you eat, the air you breath and water you drink, even lotions that you rub on your skin. In our society it's extremely difficult to escape all of these harmful and extremely unhealthy substances.



The cure can happen one step at a time. 

It can be daunting to think about eliminating everything we've been used to eating and drinking all our lives to get better health and lose weight. Eliminating a lot of the harmful substances mention earlier can be done simply by eliminating the high processed foods from your diet.



Eliminating high processed foods

These are virtually anything and everything that has been bottled, canned, or packaged. To get into that package, bottle or can, it had to have been processed, and it's in these process techniques that the foods are chemically altered and changed so they can last longer on store shelves. This process is what our entire food industry is based on.



It's these food additives that are causing sickness and disease in our society. Sixty years ago, before the industry used processing food techniques, there weren't any obese people and seeing fat people was pretty rare. We didn't have many of the symptoms, disorders, and diseases we have now.

You would think that with today's technologies even in the weight loss market with all the fat burning supplements, organic weight loss pills, and all sorts of natural fat burners for men and women that we as a society could have more success at fighting off that extra fat, even if our dietary habits are not the best they could be.


What are our options for weight loss supplements?
Going directly to a supplement or diet drug for help getting back into shape may not be the best solution. Eating right should be our primary concern. even doctors will tell you that "90% of disease can be prevented with diet". We cannot underestimate what a healthy diet can do. The problem for so many of us though is we just don't have the time and energy to follow that path to the fullest way that can benefit our health.

And so we turn to the drugs. But are dietary drugs the best option to burn off a bunch of extra fat? According to any website that sells or talks about weight loss drug pills, you will find a long list of potentially dangerous side effects. The ironic thing about this is they also warn against using the drug for extended periods of time as it may also make you become dependent on it. How can one keep on losing the weight though if one can't continue to rake the diet drug?

Alternative to drugs?
These days there are many of them, from green coffee bean extract, raspberry ketone, and acai berry to name a few of the newest things to have surfaced. There are even huge online health stores that carry only all-natural weight loss supplements. The one that seems to stand out that we've noticed is Evolution Slimming. Based in the UK but delivering worldwide. For years now we've seen all-natural supplements to help with weight loss such as Meratol, Capsiplex, Proactol, Phen375, and many others.

It's a good thing that the boomer kids are at or getting to retirement age because so many people of that age group are thinking smarter about getting healthier by eating more natural foods and when considering supplementation will look at natural ones. This can be a good idea because an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
