obesity rate surges - mediterranean diet essential to natural weight loss efforts
|
|
|
overweight and obesity are known to dramatically increase the risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, cancer and dementia. excess body fat fuels the fire of systemic inflammation and the release of dangerous chemical messengers or cytokines that damage the delicate inner lining of our arteries; this sets the stage for vascular dysfunction. as we pass age 35, there is a natural tendency to gain weight due to slowing metabolism, unchanged calorie intake and less physical activity. following a mediterranean style diet can help to curb weight gain, improve health and boost your weight loss efforts. alarming study projects 42% obesity rate by 2050 researchers have been encouraged that the obesity rate has stabilized at 34% over the past 5 years. the number of overweight and obese individuals has also remained steady at just under 70% for the same period. new research released in the journal plos computational biology uses statistical projections from the framingham heart study to suggest that the upward trend will continue over the next 40 years to peak at 42% of men, women and children registering as clinically obese. obesity explodes over the past century in the early 1900`s 1 in 150 people were obese. by 1971 the obesity rate climbed to 14%. 40 years later that number has jumped to 34%. something has changed during this time period to create such an explosion in body fat accumulation. we are still the same genetically diverse people we were 100 years ago, yet our metabolism has been dramatically altered toward fat storage. while physical activity may play a small role in the increase, there is one much more compelling reason we`re exposed to every day. understanding the real cause of obesity our diet has been altered considerably over the past 100 years. natural foods eaten raw or minimally processed have given way to fast convenience items scientifically altered in a lab to appeal to our innate taste for sugar, fat and salt. fast releasing carbs cause blood sugar to remain high most of the day. eventually insulin becomes resistant to excess glucose and is no longer able to effectively usher sugar from the blood and into cells. our grandparents didn`t have this problem. while they did put on small amounts of weight as they aged it didn`t lead to early onset obesity commonly seen today. mediterranean diet could hold the key to controlling weight the results of new research published in the american journal of clinical nutrition show that a mediterranean style diet can help to keep unnatural weight gain in check. study participants that adhered closest to a diet consisting largely of vegetables, fruits, fish, nuts, seeds and monounsaturated fats such as olive oil were 10% less likely to become overweight or obese and had 26% lower odds of packing on more than 11 pounds over the course of 4 years. this is because the mediterranean diet is much higher in fiber and provides a feeling of satiety while eliminating sugary junk foods that raise blood sugar and cause dangerous belly fat. overweight and obesity are the leading preventable causes of chronic disease and death. the past century has seen the problem grow to the point where it will threaten nearly half of the adult population. the solution is a low sugar and carbohydrate diet based on the mediterranean way of eating, monitoring calories and ensuring adequate physical activity. small changes to diet and lifestyle today will result in many healthy years later in life. article references: http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article... http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/abs... http://www.who.int/dietphysicalacti... about the authorjohn phillip is a health researcher and author who writes regularly on the cutting edge use of diet, lifestyle modifications and targeted supplementation to enhance and improve the quality and length of life. john is the author of 'your healthy weight loss plan', a comprehensive ebook explaining how to use diet, exercise, mind and targeted supplementation to achieve your weight loss goal. visit my optimal health resource to continue reading the latest health news updates, and to download your free 48 page copy of 'your healthy weight loss plan'.

a university of missouri researcher has found that eating a healthy breakfast, especially one high in protein, increases satiety and reduces hunger throughout the day. in addition, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fmri), the researchers found that eating a protein-rich breakfast reduces the brain signals controlling food motivation and reward-driven eating behavior. “everyone knows that eating breakfast is important, but many people still don’t make it a priority,” said heather leidy, assistant professor in the mu department of nutrition and exercise physiology.

consuming too many calories may disturb the pathway in the brain that directly affects food intake and body weight, according to a new study. researchers from the university of wisconsin-madison report that the too much food or energy consumption leads to a problem called metabolic inflammation, according to findings from the mice studies. "metabolic inflammation is a chronic, low-grade condition consisting of inflammatory-like responses at the molecular level.
