Most of us are operating in a semi-starved condition.
Of course, as we see in the news reports this is the reality for
many persons in the world today. However, this condition also applies
to the majority of United States residents. A rather strong statement!
After all, don’t most of us eat as much as we like? In fact, aren’t
many of us actually trying to cut down on our food consumption because
we have a weight problem.
Food may be plentiful, but the nutrient content
is lacking. Over 50 years ago the Federal Department of Agriculture
released a study revealing that our farm land is deficient in almost
all of the nutrients required by our bodies, and it hasn't gotten
any better. Unless you have access to organically cultivated foods
that are grown on soils that have been continually enriched with
all the trace minerals, you are not getting the nutrition necessary
for optimal health.
So, our foods are nutritionally deficient and to
make matters worse, our digestive systems are in need of a tune-up.
Do you feel more tired an hour after eating
than before dinner?
How many of us have as many bowel movements during
the day as meals eaten?
Do you ever experience excessive gas?
These are all symptoms of an impaired digestive
system. So, not only are our foods nutritionally deficient; we don't
even assimilate what little value is present.
Our body is not satisfied. We are subconsciously
driven to eat more in a futile attempt to obtain the nutrients our
body requires for optimum functioning. The excess of empty calories
exacerbates any weight problem. We don't have the energy to exercise.
We are on a continuing downward spiral of lower energy, lower vitality,
and a lowered immune system. We are progressively more susceptible
to disease.
Unfortunately, this state-of-affairs becomes the
normal condition. We even think that our health is OK. We have forgotten
what it feels like to wake-up in the morning with abundant energy,
to jump out of bed, eager to start a new day.
Most of us know, at least in a general sense, what
we should do to improve our health: a better diet, more exercise
(for many of us, how about even a little bit of exercise?). We all
have some rationalization why we aren't doing these things. Is it
true that most of our reasons are rooted in a combination of inertia
(getting started is the hardest part of the job), and the busy pace
of life?
Natural Nutrients That Help Get Rid Of
Excess Body Fat
Garcinia Cambogia - an Asian melon, is the source for a natural
ingredient that effectively curbs the appetite and inhibits lipogenesis,
the process by which the body produces and stores fat.
Gymnema Sylvestre - an herb that
reduces sugar cravings and blocks absorption of sugar.
L. Carnitine - a fatigue fighting
amino acid that has a regulatory effect on fat metabolism, and lowers
both triglyceride and cholesterol levels.
Chromium - a trace mineral essential
for the proper utilization of blood sugar. It helps lower cholesterol
and triglyceride levels, and lowers body weight while increasing
lean body mass.
Magnesium - a co-factor in many
biochemical reactions, particularly those that produce metabolic
energy. It is important for protein formation, nerve condition,
and bowel function.
Potassium - an extremely
important electrolyte that helps maintain water balance, supports
muscle and nerve cells, and kidney and adrenal function. It is essential
for production and storage of glycogen, the source of energy for
exercising muscles.
