The world is becoming overweight, and it is starting to become a wide-spread issue not just in the United States but in almost all countries throughout the world. What is the cause of such obese activity? Why are more people than ever? We will dig deep into the fatty tissue of this epidemic to find the cause.
One of the biggest causes of weight gain is improper eating habits. I am not referring to the food that is being eaten, rather the time that food is being consumed. More and more people in today's world are skipping meals, eating later than they should, or just not eating at all. When you skip a meal, you are sending a clear signal to your body that you may be going into starvation. This makes your body react defensively and store more fats cells than normal, thus creating weight gain. Eating later than one should is another poor trend in today's society. You've probably heard Taco Bell's advertisement about "4th Meal", the meal between dinner and breakfast. This is a perfect example of eating outside the proper time. Finally, not eating at all deprives your body of necessary nutrients, which will confuse the hormones that control the fat burning cells. Most Americans violate at least one of these basic building blocks.
An even bigger issue in the world is proper liver function. The liver is the only organ in your body that does not have pain receptors (nerves that send the signal to your brain and tell you Ouch!). Studies have shown that you can have 90% liver failure and not even know it. Proper liver function and knowing how to keep it clean is important. We will discuss many of these same issues throughout the next couple of weeks.
