Understanding The Connection Between Toxins And Obesity

By Alex Ariel Sanders

Chronic obesity and weight problems have led to serious outcries in recent years, specifically in the United States. Many feel it's the fault of fast food outlets and rather laid-back, sedentary lifestyles, but actually research has shown that there are quite a few factors that can be traced back to environmental toxins as well as toxin build-up in the body as a result of artificial preservatives. The link between toxins and obesity has shown that the two are directly linked in what appears to be a spiral, mutually feeding of each other, that's actually getting worse.

It has long been known that overweight or obese people have a slower than normal metabolism that allows toxins to build up in their bodies. These toxins lead to illnesses, such as heart disease and high blood pressure, as well as increasing the risk of developing degenerative diseases like osteoarthritis and diabetes.

You may not be aware that environmental toxins accumulate in the body from things like:

* fruits and vegetables laced with poison such as pesticides

* meat from animals fed grain that contains pesticide residues and animals shot with hormones

* processed foods containing a selection of preservatives which bond to tissues resulting in distraction of the normal functioning of the eliminating organs

How this works? The body tries to resist and protect itself from harmful and dangerous substance contamination, when bombed by immense quantities it's unable handle, by encapsulating the poisonous substance in fat pockets and storing them until later when it may have the ability to effectively remove them.

The greatest problem is that these toxins are pushed at us in such large volumes that the body cannot catch up to process and eliminate what has already been previously accumulated. Instead, we keep on storing more toxins in our body while we always keep on waiting for just the right opportunity to get rid of it!

Fat accumulation slows the metabolism down substantially, allowing more build-up to pack. The entire cycle may cause numerous chronic diseases and problems that lead to an early death. Okay, now we get to a question resembling that of the chicken and the egg. The answer, however, is simple. Toxin build-up leads to obesity and obesity leads to more toxin buildup.

While the exact link between toxins and obesity may not be quite clear as daylight, the solution to the obesity epidemic in USA lies in the consumption of a healthier diet. More fiber and nutrients is what your body needs to fight toxin accumulation and burn fat at an increased rate.

Its absolutely essential to consume more fresh fruits and vegetables, washed thoroughly to remove every hint of pesticide as well as find a way to eat substantially less red meat which has been processed via commercial feedlots. In addition, its recommended that we should avoid processed foods filled with artificial ingredients and preservatives and limit or eliminate caffeine, cigarette smoke, and chemically treated water consumption. This will help reduce the number of toxins destroying the body while aiding natural detoxification. - 17274
