Fat-burning Mechanism

Diet, insulin and body fat!

Through proper diet and lifestyle habits you can program your body burn fat all day, every day, for the rest of your life. Your body is designed through millions of years of evolution to burn large amounts of fat, and all you need to do is provide it with the proper food, exercise and stress levels.

Fat is the most efficient of fuels, containing more calories per gram than carbohydrates or protein; however, when it is not used as a fuel it is stored. Burning fat as the main fuel for all your daily activities also spares blood glucose for use by the brain - so fat-burning can improve mental performance as well as physical.

Action of insulin
This hormone is produced every time you eat and its task is to distribute glucose, produced mainly from carbohydrates, throughout the body. In most people about half of this glucose is put to use for immediate energy in the body's cells. About 10 percent is stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen for reserve energy. The remaining 40 percent is converted to fat and stored.

Types of carbohydrates, those with a higher glycemic index, cause even higher production of insulin. And some people, those who are intolerant to carbohydrates or insulin resistant, will produce more insulin in reaction to eating these higher-glycemic foods which include mostly fiberless refined carbohydrates such as most bread, rolls, cereals, sweets, and some types of pasta, but also some vegetables such as corn and potatoes, and fruits such as bananas. Eating carbohydrates in combination with protein or fat can help reduce the overall glycemic index of the meal or snack.

Higher production of insulin n fat storage
Higher production of insulin, not only results in more fat being stored, it also prompts less fat to be burned. Since blood glucose is available in overabundance when you eat too much carbohydrate, the body shifts to sugar-burning rather than fat-burning. The result is more stored fat and less fat-burning.

Frequency of eating n fat burning
In addition to the type of food you eat, another factor contributing to insulin production is how often you eat. Eating more often - five or six times or more per day - can help stabilize blood sugar levels and help your body to produce less insulin. As discussed earlier, less insulin means more fat-burning. Of course eating more food than you need will also promote weight gain, so the trick is to not eat more food, but to eat the proper amount of food spread out between meals and snacks over the course of the day.

Turn on the body's fat burning mechanism - Some foods burn "hotter" than others; that is, they cause the body to expend more calories for heat, encourage activity and are not as readily stored. Proteins and complex carbohydrates are "hot" burners, such as whole grains, whole-grain products and nearly all vegetables. They are not stored as fat easily and they tell the body that it has enough fuel, so it is alright to expend energy. This heat producing effect after a meal turns on the metabolism.

GOD'S PHARMACY

It's been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish. all before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw.

Many fruits and vegetables do look like certain body parts and they may help those body parts stay well.

The doctrine of signatures is an ancient European philosophy that held that plants bearing parts that resembled human body parts, animals, or other objects, had useful relevancy to those parts, animals or objects.

Eyes

 A sliced Carrot resembles the human eye including the pupil, iris, and radiating lines. Science indicates that carrots help protect the vision, especially night vision.

Heart

A Tomato has up to four chambers and is commonly red. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene and helps prevent heart disease, prostate cancer, breast and more. Tomato juice can also reduce the tendency toward blood clotting.

Brain

Walnuts resemble the brain, mimicking the wrinkles and folds of the neocortex. Research suggests that walnuts may reduce the risk or delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease. The high concentration of omega-3 fats in walnuts promotes healthy brain function.

Heart

Grapes hang in a cluster that resembles the shape of the heart. The stronger the color of the grape is, the higher the concentration of phytonutrients. Grapes prevent heart disease and reduce platelet clumping and harmful blood clots.

 

Bones

Celery has a bone like appearance and is rich in silicon and Vitamin K, which are needed for healthy joints and bones

Pancreas

Sweet Potatoes resemble the pancreas and have a low glycemic index count, which is beneficial for diabetics.

Ovaries

Olives resemble ovaries and may help reduce hot flashes in women going through menopause. Research indicates that Olive Oil may reduce ovarian cancer by 30%.

Breasts

Oranges, Grapefruits and other Citrus fruits have been compared to the appearance of female mammary glands. These fruits contain nutrients that are helpful in the fight against breast cancer.

Skin

Sliced Onions resemble skin cells and contain quercetin. Studies have shown when treated with a combination of quercetin and ultrasound at 20 kHz for 1-minute duration, skin and prostate cancers show a 90% mortality within 48 hours with no visible mortality of normal cells.

Kidney

Kidney Beans, true to their name are kidney shaped. They provide nutrients that are helpful to the human kidneys. Kidney beans contain molybdenum, which helps sulfite oxidase to form and is responsible for detoxifying sulfites.

Sex

Avocados were used by the Aztecs as a sex stimulant and the Aztec name for avocado was ahuacatl, meaning "testicle." An extract of avocado impedes the growth of both androgen-dependent and androgen-independent prostate cancer cells. Today's research shows that when a woman eats 1 avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? .... It takes exactly 9 months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).

Figs have a rich history and often been referred to as a sexual food, this is partly symbolic due to the appearance of the fruit. Figs are loaded with seeds and when halved, many note a resemblance to female genitalia. The Hindu name for fig is anjeer and research has shown that anjeer is helpful for sexual weakness. Figs have also been mentioned as a source helpful for male fertility and motility.
