Obesity - Cause and Remedy

A well-known psychologist recently wrote about the issue of obesity in America for the Practical Advise column, which appeared in my local newspaper. The title of her article, Obesity Is A Medical Illness, Not A Behavioral Disorder, shocked and frightened me. She stated, Obesity meets all of the clinical definitions of a disease.

In view of the fact that this is a syndicated column and hundreds of newspapers will carry this article, I am compelled to write a rebuttal to this outrageous miscarriage of facts. Maybe with some stretch of imagination, being obese may have earned a medical disease diagnosisbecoming or staying obese is the result of emotional adaptations and indoctrinationsenvironment, family, religion and society are contributors to the onset and proliferation of obesity.

The frightening aspect of this article is the proclamation that obesity is a disease, reinforcing the doctor's role as an authority and the persons role as a helpless sick person. This indoctrination instills the belief that a "disease," is out of the direct control of the person and that the doctor has a "treatment," and that the person must "listen to the doctor" in order to "get well again." Thus, learned helplessness and submissiveness is then vastly amplified by this insidious edict. The person becomes more dutiful to the doctor and to the demoralizing principles of prescriptions, which is the mainstay of Traditional Western Medicine. Denial of ones responsibility for ones health and compliance to the doctors authority becomes a way of life, anchored in place by false facts.

The National Center for Health Statistics, 2007, set the obesity rate for Americans at 31 percent. This statistic is no doubt low, because many obese people do not appear in statistical data, because they seldom use medical services in order to be counted.

Side effects of obesity includes: diabetes, cardiovascular disease, sleep apnea and depression, which are diagnosed as medical conditions. However, from a metaphysical standpoint, these issues can be traced back to emotional issues which precipitated the person to use food as a coping mechanism.

Reasons for excess weight include:

Emotional issuesFear, Hidden anger, Resistance to forgive, Need for protection, Running away from feelings. Insecurity, Oversensitivity, Self-rejection. Seeking fulfillment, Childhood traumasexual abuse, corporal punishment and verbal abuse
Diet high in carbohydrates
Lack of exercise
Thyroid imbalance
Insulin imbalance
Adrenal problems
Water retentionkidney/heart malfunction (edema, phlegm accumulation)
Weak digestive function
Blood sugar swings (glycogen/insulin imbalance or hypoglycemic/diabetes)

The Cause of Obesity - http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Cause-of-Obesity&id=152996, Its Not Only The FoodIts Also What You Tell Yourself: Maintain Your Ideal Weight The Right Way, Weight MaintenanceRelapse Prevention Part I http://ezinearticles.com/?Weight-Maintenance---Relapse-Prevention---Part-I&id=619711. See also, Weight MaintenanceRelapse Prevention Part II.

Successful approaches to weight loss include:

Eat regular, balanced meals (small meals 5 times/day)30 percent fats, 30 percent proteins, 40 percent complex carbohydrates (vegetables, with some grains (no wheat). This practice coupled with Eat Right for Your Type by Peter D'Adamo is a clear, simple food plan for each blood type that anyone can follow. For example there is a direct connection between stress, autoimmune disorders and red meat in the Type B system. I can attest to this research. Long before Eat Right for Your Type was published, I discovered red meat caused me to feel stressful due to pain in my stomach and nerve endings. It felt like my stomach lining and nerve endings had been scraped until they were raw. I discovered this pain was prevalent after eating red meat, thus, I stopped eating red meat and the pain in my stomach and nerve endings ceased. Many years later without knowing my blood type, I read Eat Right for Your Type and wondered if my blood type was B. After checking my blood type, I was not surprised to discover my blood type is B positive.

The process of changing your eating habits might seem insurmountable. However, consider the end result and the effort is worth any falsely perceived difficulty.

Walk outside or on the treadmill at least 10 minutes after eating the evening meal.
Take specific proven herbal compounds before each meal to increase metabolism and to assist in releasing fat and curb water retention.
Take specific nutritional supplements for the thyroid and adrenal gland, both crucial to the weight-loss process.
Have acupuncture treatments to help balance the organ systems (pancreas, live, endocrine function), to reduce cravings and curb the appetite (ear acupressure is available for those who fear needles).
Hypnotherapy is imperative if you have a strong underlying emotional cause for excess. How does one determine if one has a strong underlying emotional cause? The answer is simpleif you did not have a strong underlying emotional cause, you would not have gained excessive weight.

Losing and maintaining ones ideal weight requires an earnest commitment to healthier living. The end resultfeeling and looking betteris well worth the effort.

If your best efforts fall short of your desired goal weight, consider hypnosis administered by a Certified Hypnotherapist, who specializes in Mind, Body, Spirit healing.

Hypnosis is a dynamic and vital healing process embracing all aspects health care. Hypnosis is client-centered with its focus on the discovery of the origin of a persons issues. Through the process of hypnosis/regression the unconscious mind goes to the original cause, which then gives the person and practitioner the opportunity to process the original feelings surrounding the original experience/cause. These surrounding feelings can be healed, thus empowering the person to live the life they want to live.

This study confirmsHypnosis is more effective and works more quickly than traditional talk-therapy or psychoanalysis. In a hypnotic state, you are more receptive to new ideas and you can more effectively process the emotions linked to the experiences, which created pain, fear, sadness, anger, guilt, shame, humiliation and low self-esteem.

Through Hypnosis you connect with your subconscious mind, which puts YOU in control of your subconscious mindthe most powerful and empowering aspect of your brain.

Counting Carbs With Wine

The recent health claims that wines have antioxidants in them that may block free radicals, prevent heart disease, cancer, and other conditions associated with aging seems to have some validity. Polyphenol, catechin, and cholesterol-reducing resveratrol are found predominately in red wines in various degrees. One suggestion as to why some of these antioxidants are present in red wines is that grapes that have been distressed during their growth will exhibit the highest level of antioxidants. Red-skinned grapes seem to have better growing success in less temperate climates but exhibit the effects of stressful weather conditions in the form of higher levels of resveratrol. Before all you wine enthusiasts start shouting, I told you so! let me point out that many of the same antioxidant benefits can also be found in dark beers, too.

What low-carbohydrate dieters are most concerned about with wine, however, is its carbohydrate count, loosely a function of the wine's residual sugar content. Although residual sugar levels are often made available by vintners and are a good indication as to the possible dryness or sweetness of a wine (the higher the number, the sweeter the wine), we cant, unfortunately, extrapolate the carbohydrate count of the wine from this figure without a full lab analysis.

Some wine-related Web sites say that there are no carbohydrates in dry wine, a glaring example of people who have no idea of the mechanics of fermentation. The process of converting sugars to alcohol and carbon dioxide during fermentation is limited by the attenuation of the yeast or the manipulation of the fermentation by the vintner. In order for a wine to have no carbohydrates in it, it would have to be pure alcohol, in other words, distilled. Of course at that point, the liquid would no longer be wine, but brandy or cognac. Alland I repeatall wines, including dry wines, have some residual sugar left behind after the fermentation process ends. Residual sugar equals carbohydrates. If it were possible to use fermentation to convert a sugary liquid into a drink that was free of carbohydrates, the process of distillation would be a meaningless procedure. Only after distillation, when the resultant liquid is transformed into ethyl alcohol (ethanol), will a once-fermented liquid truly become carbohydrate-free.

You might notice while shopping for wine that some fruit-blended wines actually carry a nutritional analysis statement on them. For any wine with an alcohol content of less than 7% by volume, the Food and Drug Administration actually has jurisdiction over the nutritional labeling of the product. However, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) has jurisdiction over the mandated government warnings that are also found on the labels of these wines and of all alcohol-based products. This is one of the few times that the FDA gets involved in the realm of spirited beverages with the TTB. Youll also find nutritional information on ciders under 7%.

What kind of a margin of error does the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau allow in the measurement of carbohydrates in wine? From the TTB ruling: Statements of carbohydrates and fat contents [on wine labels or advertising materials] are acceptable provided the actual carbohydrate or fat contents, as determined by ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, the former alcohol trade regulatory agency) lab analysis, are within a reasonable range below, but in no case more than 20% above, the labeled amount.

If you're on a low-carbohydrate diet and enjoy the occasional pressings from the noble grape, the following list of wines with their carbohydrate counts should help you keep your daily carb intake in check:

Cabernet Sauvignon ('02)5 oz1.70 g

Rock Climbing Basics

Rock climbing is an exhilarating sport and one that is growing in popularity. Today, people of all ages are taking up this fun but physically demanding activity. Many aspects of rock climbing appeal to those partaking in this sport, but one thing which stands out most is that this is an activity that can be done both indoors and out.

Man-made rock climbing walls are perfect for training and for when the weather conditions outside are less than desirable. Indoor rock climbing walls are a great way to learn the various rock climbing techniques while being under the careful watch of more experienced rock climbing professionals. Because theyre made to resemble the characteristics youd find in a natural rock environment, many rock climbers never even venture outdoors. But for those who do, the outdoors experience is truly unique and awe-inspiring.

Countless rock climbing opportunities await those who do venture outdoors. Not all rocks though are optimum for the rock climber. First in importance is whether the rock face can be traversed horizontally or vertically. Equally important is that the rocks chosen for rock climbing must be solid rocks and they must be stable. Also look for locations where the weather is predictable, and where trails already exist.

Although this is a relatively safe activity if undertaken using the proper rock climbing equipment, rock climbing can be a dangerous sport, especially for those who venture far off the ground and away from more densely populated areas. Its one thing to want to climb in an uncrowded area, but should an emergency situation develop, being close to others could mean the difference between getting timely help and not getting the help the injured party needs to survive.

Many people mistakenly believe that the majority of rock climbing injuries result from falling. This belief might simply result from the fact that rock climbers who fall get more attention from local authorities, rescue squads and even the media. However, most rock climbing injuries occur to the hands, tendons, elbows and shoulders and are caused by straining and overuse. Although these types of injuries are not preventable, their occurrence can be reduced by taking time to properly warm up and stretch out these body parts. Using the right rock climbing equipment for the journey ahead is also advisable.

Rock climbing shoes are a must and help ensure a proper grip on the sometimes slippery surfaces. Helmets, which unfortunately arent worn by many climbers, are a good way to prevent serious head injury. A rock climbing harness that is in excellent condition with no frayed or worn out parts, climbing ropes, webbing, karabiners and belay devices are other essential pieces of rock climbing gear.

Keep the above rock climbing basics in mind before venturing out on your next rock climbing adventure and youll hopefully keep rock climbing accidents to a minimum.
