Weight and Health Related Issues
such as diabetes & hormones
We teach our clients the
key benefits of non-pharmaceutical and integrative approaches for illness
and disease reversal. Remember that the lymphatic system has no pump so in
order to move the lymph through the body one needs to move physically. We
speak of how important exercise is, but the importance of the very basics of
continuous walking for a minim of 30 minutes a day cannot be stressed
enough. The use of Quantum biofeedback can actually help relieve stress
from the body and cannot be left out of the equation of good health in
today’s fast track society, but neither can drinking the correct water;
negatively charges alkaline water from our aging younger water ionizer.
Obesity contributes negatively to every know illness and disease. When we
are suggesting alternative treatment for obesity certainly the three energy
improvements we just spoke of are important. But we need to examine obesity
much more closely since we are the fattest nation on Earth, and un-healthy
for it.
Introduction
Americans
may be the heaviest nation on the planet, but the rest of the world is
following our leadership and catching up quickly. Equally dramatic—and
much less known—is the scientific revolution that is changing our
understanding of obesity. New research explains why excess fat by itself
causes high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attacks, cancer, strokes and
arthritis and allows us to re-think strategies for achieving and maintaining
leanness. Obesity and its related diseases are not just about weight;
they’re about the hormones produced by fat.
Doctors and
scientists have thought of fat as no more than a repository of unused
calories, an expanding storehouse, if you will, that is filled up by eating
more than you burn. We now know that fat is a living organ, as active and
interactive as the heart or kidneys or liver, and that fat regulates itself
by producing its own set of hormones. The
hormones
produced by fat cells are called ADIPOKINES. They can increase or decrease
appetite and metabolic rate, making weight control easier or harder. The
discovery of adipokines sparked a revolution in our understanding of
obesity. This is the breakthrough science that was the foundation for
Galland’s book The Fat Resistance Diet.
Leptin
The revolution started in 1994 at New
York’s Rockefeller University, when Dr. Jeffrey Friedman and his research
team discovered that the fat cells of genetically obese mice failed to
produce a chemical called LEPTIN.
Leptin was the first
adipokine; this was the first hormone shown to be made exclusively, by fat
cells. Researchers soon discovered that administration of leptin curbed the
appetite and stimulated the metabolism of laboratory animals. Injecting
leptin into genetically obese mice restored them to normal body weight.
Leptin appeared to function as part of what scientists refer to as a
negative feedback loop. When an animal is overfed and begins to gain weight,
the increase in body fat leads to an increase in production of leptin, which
in turn suppresses appetite and stimulates fat burning, restoring the animal
to a normal lean weight. This process of internal self-correction is called
"homeostasis" and it stabilizes the body’s internal state, the way a weight
at the bottom, stabilizes the top of a buoy bobbing in the water.
The
discovery of leptin raised great hopes that a natural cure for obesity lay
around the corner. Excitement gave way to disappointment. Overweight humans
are not leptin deficient: the more body fat, the higher the levels of leptin
in blood. For people who are chronically overweight, the problem seems to be
that leptin is not doing its job of reducing appetite and stimulating fat
burning. The effect of leptin is blocked. Scientists call this state LEPTIN
RESISTANCE. Returning to our image of the buoy, it’s as if more and more
bottom weight is needed to help the buoy stay upright, even when the water
remains calm.
I
t
is easy to see how we created today’s weight crisis. Technology has
decreased our level of physical exertion. The ready availability of high
calorie, ready-to-eat fast foods and snacks has increased consumption. Our
fat regulatory system, based on leptin, is inefficient at limiting body fat.
Its primary function throughout human history has been to sense
body fat for survival during famine. Many scientists believe that the main
evolutionary role of leptin was not to regulate weight or appetite, but to
regulate fertility. Leptin is absolutely necessary for the normal function
of reproductive organs. As fat storage falls, leptin levels drop. At a given
level of thinness, a woman’s ovaries stop working, solely because of leptin
deficiency. This effect is seen today in thin young women with very low body
fat. Leptin lets the brain know when there is enough food available to
support offspring and prevents reproduction when food is scarce.
Fat also appears to regulate the processes by which the body burns fuel for
energy, especially in muscle. Ad-ipo-nec-tin is the newest fat-produced
hormone in the scientific spotlight. It also plays a central role in the
biology of fat. Of all the ad-ipo-kines spewed out by fat cells, ad-ipo-nec-tin
seems to be the most heroic. Recent studies show that ad-ipo-nectin curbs
appetite and sparks the burning of fat, as does leptin. But unlike leptin,
chronically overweight people don’t suffer from resistance to the hormone.
They have an outright deficiency. A lack of adequate ad-ipo-nectin is
emerging as a significant factor in people’s inability to melt flab and stay
slim. When fat storages are low, fat cells secrete ad-ipo-nectin, which is a
recently discovered ad-ipo-kine. Ad-ipo-nectin helps muscle cells burn fuel
for energy more effectively. It acts as a kind of super-charger for
maintaining strong and active muscles when stored energy reserves are low.
When food is not available and fat storages drop, ad-ipo-nectin rises,
helping muscle cells take up more sugar from the blood and also enabling
them to burn fat more thoroughly as fuel. As fat storages increase, ad-ipo-nectin
levels drop and the burning of fat as fuel actually becomes less complete.
It is a process that allows the body to store fat in times of plenty as a
hedge against famine, that is assumes is sure to come from past experience,
such as in the case of yo-yo dieting.
Advice
about eating less and exercising more has been a resounding failure.
Diets, whether they’re low calorie, low fat or low
carbohydrate, all produce initial weight loss but do a lousy job of
maintaining leanness, because normally (when you diet) your overall loss
included lean muscle and that is absolutely not helpful. Lean muscle
metabolizes and fat does not; making it likely you will increase fat in the
body over time. If there’s a way that science can help us undo the damage
technology has caused, then probably understanding and combating leptin
resistance may well be the key.
Of all the theories that attempt to explain leptin resistance and suggest a
way to reverse it, the one concept that best knits together everything we
know about obesity and has the best chance of stopping this epidemic is the
proven link between obesity, leptin and INFLAMMATION.
Inflammation
I
nflammation
is part of the body’s protective response to injury or infection. The
ancient Greeks described it as an internal fire. The Romans recognized it by
four attributes: redness, heat, swelling and pain. Scientists see those
attributes in medical conditions that end in
"-itis": arthritis, tonsillitis,
appendicitis and others.
During the Nineteenth Century, scientists
discovered that inflammation was produced by white blood cells that migrate
from the blood stream and enter areas of infection or injury. Recent
research has linked heart attacks and strokes to microscopic inflammation of
the blood vessels. Although inflammation produces many of the symptoms
associated with being sick or injured, it is a necessary part of healing.
This is the major reason why we suggest to each of our clients who are
coming to us to improve their health and or weight, that they should begin
all of our programs with our
Rejuvenis OSH ionic Silver
product. Rejuvenis
OSH ionic Silver in today’s dangerous world is the most
important substance you can put into your body; it not only stops infection
is kills virus as well, Swine Flu-H1N1, no more signs after taking our
Rejuvenis Ionic OSH
silver.
During the Twentieth Century, scientists uncovered the chemical basis of
inflammation. It became clear that infection and inflammation could exist
without redness, heat, swelling or pain and without a migration of white
blood cells. This makes taking our
Rejuvenis OSH ionic
Silver much more
important to take as part of our overall health improvement programs. Also
see
Lupus because these same treatments
apply.
Today, in the Twenty-first Century,
inflammation is seen as a chemical state that can exist in all or part of
your body without necessarily, producing symptoms. Its presence, due to
hidden infection, is most accurately determined by measuring the levels of
inflammatory chemicals in the inflamed tissue, or sometimes in a blood
sample. Many of the chemicals associated with inflammation actually cause
damage to cells. They are referred to as "mediators" of inflammation. Other
chemicals are just signals that indicate inflammation is present. They are
"markers" of inflammation.
The biochemical understanding of
inflammation has allowed scientists to recognize that your body controls the
degree of inflammation, by producing anti-inflammatory substances that tend
to decrease the pro-inflammatory signals.
Inflammation is the normal response of your
body to all kinds of stress. This is a stimulus that provokes a reaction and
that reaction acts as a stimulus to a counter-reaction that slowly returns
your body to the state that existed before the initial stimulus. The whole
process is called homeostasis and the pattern involves negative
feedback loops.
Negative feedback is a
type of feedback in which the system responds in an opposite direction to
the perturbation. Perturbation is a process of feeding back to the input a
part of a system's output, so as to reverse the direction of change of that
output. Homeostasis requires that all
components of the negative feedback loops be in working order. Chronic
inflammation results from the failure of homeostasis. This if further
clarification that our Rejuvenis
OSH ionic Silver is a
mandatory part of any program, especially our weight loss and body
contouring programs.
How does fat itself cause inflammation? Many ad-ipo-kines, even leptin
itself, are mediators of inflammation. They promote and encourage the
inflammatory response, wherever it might be occurring. The more fat in your
body, the higher the levels of these mediators in your blood and the greater
the level of inflammation in your body. Here’s an example:
Scientist’s have known for a long time that being overweight is associated
with the development of osteo-arthritis, especially in the knees.
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and is thought to result
from wear and tear on the cartilage that lines joints. Osteo-arthritis
produces an overgrowth of bone that narrows the space in the joint and
increases the likelihood of damage when the joint is moved. Doctors have
thought that the reason osteo-arthritis is associated with obesity, is that
being heavy increases the wear and tear on the knees, which was a simple
physical explanation, wrong but simple. Recent research has
found a chemical connection. Joint fluid in the knees of overweight people
contains high levels of leptin, which is produced by fat, not by the joints
themselves. Leptin in the joints causes infection, which causes
inflammation. You should be seeing the pattern here, that combating
infection with our Rejuvenis
OSH ionic Silver
is mandatory for not only fighting every type of disease, but to
reduce the infection and inflammation brought on by obesity.
Leptin also triggers the production of an
anti-inflammatory chemical called TGF-beta (transforming growth
factor-beta). TGF-beta is part of a negative feedback loop to naturally help
reduce inflammation. But one of the effects of TGF-beta is to stimulate the
growth of bone; in this case producing the bony overgrowth characteristic of
osteo-arthritis. So the relationship between obesity and osteo-arthritis is
not just created by how much you weigh; It is a hormonal relationship in
which the body’s normal homeostatic mechanisms go awry and produce disease.
Balancing
hormones also become a key defense mechanism to fighting
obesity.
Everyone experiences trauma to their knees
during the course of their lives. Lean people, like athletes, who experience
extensive, repetitive trauma, are at risk for osteo-arthritis because the
stimulus to inflammation and counter-inflammation is so intense.
People who are overweight develop osteo-arthritis
because excess body fat causes an excessive inflammatory response to minor
injury, which then triggers an increase in the counter-inflammatory
response. The result is that both inflammatory and anti-inflammatory
mediators are increased in obesity. The end result is no longer homeostasis
but disease, which develop because of the unbridled activity of chemical
mediators that fail in their effort to heal infection and this is where our
Rejuvenis
OSH ionic Silver is
mandatory to complement any of our complete programs especially that of our
weight loss and hormone balancing.
It gets worse; The inflammatory nature of fat is not only due to fat cells
themselves. In addition to fat cells (referred to as ad-ipo-cytes), fat also
contains blood vessels and white blood cells. Fat specifically attracts a
type of white blood cell called a macrophage. Macrophage literally means
"large eater" and macrophages are large white blood cells that gobble up
cellular debris. They are scavengers, sometimes called "garbage men of the
immune system." The macrophages found in fat are major producers of
inflammatory mediators, especially a substance called Tumor Necrosis Factor
(TNF). TNF is well known in medicine, because high levels of it produce much
of the tissue damage and pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis and other
autoimmune diseases. Fatty tissue can be laden with TNF-producing
macrophages. In some animal studies, over 40% to 50% of cells found in
adipose tissue were macrophages.
What are all these macrophages doing in a person’s layers of fat?
Biologists don’t yet have all the answers,
but one theory is that the bloated fat cells of people who are overweight
actually leak or break open, this creates infection and white blood cells
run to the defense. Macrophages are then mobilized from the blood to move
into the leaky fat tissue and clean up the mess.
Once embedded in adipose tissue, macrophages
begin spewing out inflammatory chemicals, especially TNF and a related
mediator called Interleukin-6 (IL-6). Chemical mediators like TNF and IL-6
produced by white blood cells are called cy-to-kines, because they increase
the activity of white blood cells. (Cyto- is Greek for "cell" and
kinesis means "movement or activity". When we introduce our
Rejuvenis
OSH ionic Silver
infection and inflammation begin to be controlled.
Ad-ipo-kines are cy-to-kine
like chemicals produced by fat cells. Attracted by the cy-to-kines in fatty
tissue, without the assistance of our
Rejuvenis
OSH ionic Silver,
then more white blood cells move in to assist in mopping-up of the
infection, releasing more cytokines and increasing the level of
inflammation.
One
of the more radical research findings in fat biology suggests that fat cells
are actually cousins of macrophages. It appears that very young fat cells
(called pre-ad-ipo-cytes) can be transformed into Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-spewing
macrophages, rather than maturing into normal ad-ipo-cytes due to this huge
amount of undetectable infection.
A group of French
researchers discovered that pre-ad-ipo-cytes become macrophages when
prompted to do so by cy-to-kines. Their finding is another example of the
dynamic complexity of fat and hidden infection that produces inflamation.
Fat cells are intimately connected to and sometimes interchangeable with,
cells of the immune system. They both create and react to a wide range of
hormones and mediators. Fat can be thought of as part of the immune system
and part of the endocrine (hormone) system at the same time. Tumor Necrosis
Factor (TNF), in fact, is both a cy-to-kine (a mediator produced by
macrophages) and an ad-ipo-kine (is a hormone produced by fat cells).
Whatever its source, TNF and its inflammatory relatives can wreak havoc with
our fat-storage-and-management systems, if we don’t attack the source,
infection, with our Rejuvenis Ionic OSH Silver. TNF interferes with the
operation of insulin, and is therefore a major contributor to insulin
resistance. So, too, is another ad-ipo-kine called
re-sis-tin.
What
we see in obesity is the swelling of fat tissue accompanied by harsh
cellular activity due to infection, most of it is pushing the body toward a
state of excess inflammation. Among the pro-inflammatory substances made by
fat cells themselves are leptin, Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF), IL-6, and
re-sis-tin. Add the contribution of fat-embedded macrophages and their own
payload of TNF and IL-6, and biologists are beginning to view fat as a
brewery of inflammatory chemicals, if we don’t intercede with our Rejuvenis
Ionic OSH Silver.
The whole body is affected by this state of
affairs, since inflammatory activity is not limited to fat tissue but spills
over into the bloodstream. Thus, overweight people become subject to a
body-wide state of chronic low immune system response and low-grade
inflammation from the infection, induced by fat itself.
The effect of fat on inflammation is just half of the cycle. The
effects of inflammation on fat, are equally intense.
When inflammation is severe, as in a life-threatening infection, it can
cause tremendous weight loss. With severe inflammation, the body
cannibalizes itself and both fat and muscle cells are destroyed. This is not
a good way to lose weight. The breakdown of muscle is always greater than
the breakdown of fat and muscle metabolizes and fat does not.
Rejuvenis
OSH ionic Silver
is an ultra fine, ultra pure solution containing nothing but pure water and
silver ions making the particle size extremely small. NASA did tests and
found that the large partial Silver (symbol Ag+) in concentrations of 50 ppb
(parts per billion) of the impure large particle silver was highly effective
after 4 hours or less at stopping infection by killing virus and bacteria
and that larger concentrations of impure large partial Silver in
concentrations of 250 ppb were highly effective in 2 hours or less. Our pure
highly refined Rejuvenis
OSH ionic Silver
with extremely small particle size at 23 PPM (parts per million) reduces the
necessary exposure to minutes.
When inflammation is both mild and chronic, because of the fact that it is
producing few symptoms and only subtle changes on blood tests, inflammation
has a silent but very different effect on your metabolism. Chronic low-grade
inflammation makes your brain and body resistant to the normal regulatory
effects of leptin and other hormones,
including insulin and cortisol.
Insulin and cortisol are not ad-ipo-kines.
Insulin is made in the pancreas and cortisol is made in the adrenal glands.
In excess, either can have a devastating effect on your attempts to lose
weight or
balance hormones.
High insulin levels prevent the breakdown of
fat. Cortisol actually causes fat cells to grow. When there are high
cortisol levels, we ask our clients to walk 60 minutes in the morning
sunlight, just as the sun is coming up. Then we ask them to collect saliva
samples over the course of one day and send it o our laboratory, to
determine their circadian rhythm. This will identify their cortisol levels
and then we suggest some of our supplement that will either raise or lower
the cortisol, depending on the time of day, it registered too high or too
low. Supplement to consider are our adaptogens, one being Seriphos,
which is a supplement that will help decrease cortisol. Seriphos
is a phosphorylated Serine as a calcium and magnesium derivative in a base
of calcium and magnesium ethanolamine phosphate. Mineral nutrients provided
are elemental electrolytes, calcium 45 mg, and - magnesium 45 mg.
and-Phosphorus 190 mg.
One marker of inflammation, that has received considerable attention over
the past two years, is "C-reactive protein" or CRP. Mild elevation of the
level of CRP in blood is associated with obesity and with weight gain.
Weight loss, on the other hand, produces a decrease in CRP. In people with a
history of heart disease, mild elevation of CRP predicts an increased risk
of heart attacks and strokes. In adults who develop diabetes, elevated CRP
occurs before the onset of diabetes. In people with normal blood pressure,
elevated CRP predicts the future development of high blood pressure. In
aging adults, high CRP is associated with muscle weakness and frailty.
Studies of CRP have proven the close relationship between silent, chronic
inflammation and the development of the most common chronic diseases of
modern society. This one of the most logical pieces of evidence to persuade
you to include Rejuvenis
OSH ionic Silver in any
constructive improved health our weight program you may consider.
Inflammation and fat, share a complex relationship as mentioned. When
inflammation is severe, as in a life-threatening infection, it can cause
tremendous weight loss. With severe inflammation, both fat and muscle cells
are destroyed with the body’s on cannibalism; the breakdown of muscle is
always greater than the breakdown of fat. When inflammation is both mild and
chronic, however, producing few symptoms and only subtle changes on blood
tests, inflammation has a very different effect on your metabolism.
It disrupts hormones. Acting through the
complex networks of chemicals involved in the body’s attempt at homeostasis,
inflammation makes your cells resistant to the normal regulatory effects of
leptin and other hormones, including insulin and cortisol.
These hormones are not
ad-ipo-kines, but they can have a devastating effect on your attempts to
lose weight. We want you to understand the vicious cycle that keeps you from
living lean: FAT ITSELF CAUSES INFLAMMATION. Without stopping infection
inflammation will control your body; and stopping infection begins with
Rejuvenis
OSH ionic Silver.
Many ad-ipo-kines, even leptin itself, are chemical mediators of
inflammation. Remember what I stated above about mediators. They are
chemicals associated with inflammation that actually cause damage to cells.
The more fat in your body, the higher the levels of these mediators in your
blood and the greater the level of inflammation in your body. Not only does
this fat-derived inflammation prevent leptin from
helping you lose weight, it causes other hormonal effects that
interfere with permanent weight loss. Inflammation raises the level of
insulin and cortisol, these are two hormones that
actually cause your body to make more fat.
Insulin
and cortisol from the effects of obesity
Insulin is a hormone produced in your pancreas. Its best-known effect is to
lower blood sugar by driving sugar and other nutrients into cells,
especially muscle cells. Your muscles need insulin to help them produce
energy and recover from the effects of exercise. Inflammation interferes
with the effect of insulin on your muscles. Just as inflammation causes
leptin resistance, it is a major cause of INSULIN RESISTANCE.
With insulin resistance, your muscles are
not fully responsive to insulin, so they don’t efficiently burn the sugar
that circulates in your blood. As a result, your blood sugar starts to rise.
Your pancreas responds by releasing more insulin. When the degree of insulin
resistance outpaces the ability of your pancreas to produce more insulin,
diabetes occurs. Whether or not you actually develop diabetes, high levels
of circulating insulin can have serious negative effects on your body.
There are some actions of insulin that occur
outside of muscle and are not impaired during insulin resistance. As insulin
levels increase, these effects of insulin are felt. High insulin levels make
your kidneys retain fluid, raising your blood pressure and creating that
feeling of being
bloated and swollen. High insulin levels prevent cells from
breaking down fat, making it harder to lose weight through dieting. Insulin
also turns on genes that produce a number of mediators of inflammation, so
with high insulin, as with high leptin, the level of inflammation in your
body increases. Adapting a well rounded program of good nutrition, eating
regularly, improving your exercise habits, supplementing your diet so all
the nutrients are available to the body and including our infection and
inflammation fighter Rejuvenis
OSH ionic Silver, is the
sensible improved health and weight loss program.
Your brain and your adrenal glands are attuned to the level of inflammation
in your body. Without adapting the good health program just mentioned, as
inflammation increases, your brain sends a signal to your adrenal glands to
produce more of a hormone called cortisol. You may be familiar with
cortisone, a synthetic pharmaceutical drug used to relieve symptoms of
inflammation like itching, redness or pain. Cortisol is the equivalent of
the drug, made in your own adrenal glands in response to stress. Cortisol
naturally combats inflammation, but at a high price, but may not be as high
a price as the synthetic pharmaceutical steroid drug cortisone, because some
of its side effects are
it can weaken your immune
system, making it easier for you to get an infection or worsening an
infection you already have or have recently had, creating an even worse
vicious cycle. The body’s Natural
Cortisol, as bad as it is, increases the amount of belly fat. It also causes
fluid retention, muscle weakness, memory loss, high blood pressure, and
further raises your blood sugar. The increase in blood sugar then stimulates
a further increase in insulin. This is some reasoning why we suggest our
adrenal stress saliva testing to determine your cortisol levels and then to
begin balancing we would suggest our adaptogens such as
Seriphos as well as walking
in the morning sunshine, to help lower the cortisol and correct the
circadian rhythm.
Insulin is a hormone produced in your pancreas. Its best known effect is to
lower blood sugar by driving sugar and other nutrients into cells,
especially muscle cells, as indicated above. Your muscles need insulin to
help them produce energy and recover from the effects of exercise.
Inflammation interferes with the effect of insulin on your muscles. Just as
inflammation causes leptin resistance, it is a major cause of INSULIN
RESISTANCE. It just makes sense to improve health in the logical manner of
diet, exercise, supplementation and adding inflation fighting
Rejuvenis
OSH ionic Silver.
With insulin resistance, your muscles are
not fully responsive to insulin, so they don’t efficiently burn the sugar
that circulates in your blood. As a result, your blood sugar starts to rise.
Your pancreas responds by releasing more insulin.
When the degree of insulin resistance
outpaces the ability of your pancreas to produce more insulin, diabetes
occurs.
Whether or not you actually develop
diabetes, high levels of circulating insulin can have serious negative
effects. There are some actions of insulin that occur outside of muscle and
are not impaired during insulin resistance earlier mentioned, which were; as
insulin levels increase, these effects of insulin are felt. High insulin
levels make your kidneys retain fluid, raising your blood pressure and
creating that feeling of being bloated and swollen.
High insulin levels prevent cells from
breaking down fat, making it harder to lose weight through standard dieting.
Insulin also turns on genes that produce a number of mediators of
inflammation, so with high insulin, as with high leptin, the level of
inflammation in your body increases. Your brain and your adrenal glands are
attuned to the level of inflammation in your body. As inflammation
increases, your brain sends a signal to your adrenal glands to produce more
of a hormone called cortisol. This is a vicious cycle that you must make the
proper choices to intervene or, suffer greatly the serious consequences of
illness and disease.
HOW DOES INFLAMMATION CAUSE LEPTIN RESISTANCE?
Fat biology researchers have uncovered what many believe to be the key
mechanisms of leptin resistance. Dr. Jeffrey Flier and his colleagues at
Harvard Medical School have led these efforts. They have discovered that a
group of molecules involved in reducing inflammation also interfere with
leptin signaling on the cell surface and inside the cell. These molecules
are known as SOCS, which stands for suppressors of cytokine signaling.
Two specific SOCS molecules, SOCS-1 and SOCS-3, have been shown in many
animal studies, first by Flier’s group and later by other research teams, to
jam the signals that leptin is supposed to deliver to brain cells and muscle
cells.
What is the significance of the fact that
SOCS molecules are key causes of leptin resistance—the fundamental factor in
stubborn overweight? SOCS-1 and SOCS-3 are both part of the body’s response
to inflammation. What have we been saying about stopping inflammation by
stopping the infection from occurring with Rejuvenis Ionic OSH Silver? It
should be used in conjunction with the support of good nutrition, improved
exercise, drinking the correct
water and supplementation.
When suppressors of cytokine
signaling are working properly, our levels of inflammation are kept
in balance by overlapping feedback loops. When particular arms of the
inflammation system go into gear, provoked, for example, by the presence of
a bacterial invader or a sudden injury, which bring on infection,
another set of chemicals is released to make certain that the chemistry of
inflammation doesn’t spiral out-of-control, causing excessive damage to
cells and tissues. SOCS molecules represent the message-carriers in one of
these negative feedback loops. Their message to inflammatory cells and
cytokines is: "Cool down!" and if the infection is mild enough, SOCS
proteins are an essential part of the body’s system of checks and balances,
with a healthy body will help fight off the infection without intervention.
When they work, as they should in a healthy body, SOCS molecules succeed in
checking excess inflammation. As inflammation subsides, levels of SOCS also
subside.
Immuno-biologists believe that overweight people with chronic inflammation
have chronically high levels of SOCS, released in a continual effort to damp
down their body-wide inflammation. This has the chilling effect truth from
those of us in the natural wellness industry; due to the fact that
overweight people by default are un-healthy people, with poor functioning
immune system.
Indeed, elevated SOCS proteins have been
found in the brain, liver, muscle, and to a lesser extent, the fat tissue of
obese animals. High SOCS levels are a sign that the overweight animal is
"over-inflamed" and trying to tone the inflammation down.
Studies done at Harvard have found SOCS
molecules in the hypothalamus, which is a walnut-sized structure at the base
of the brain that regulates mood, thirst, and hunger had interesting
findings. The Harvard studies show that SOCS-1 and SOCS-3 jam leptin’s
signal at the internal portion of the leptin receptor. Bottom line: SOCS
molecules interrupt leptin’s message to suppress hunger, and they are
primary causes of leptin resistance in the brain. Therefore the vicious
cycle of obesity is fed so to speak, with the constant hunger signals never
being interrupted in the obese person.
Other studies suggest that SOCS-1 and SOCS-3
also interfere with leptin’s effects in muscle and other organs outside the
brain. In these sites, jamming of the leptin signal can lead to sluggish
metabolism; which can be contributing to your lack of energy. Remember, an
active SOCS system is strong evidence that the person is already suffering
from chronic inflammation that the body is trying to get under
control. Rejuvenis Ionic OSH Silver should be part of the recovery system to
fight this inflammation.
Adding more fuel to the fire of inflammation’s role in fat, introduced by
another research team from Harvard’s Joslin Diabetes Center showed that the
exact same molecules, SOCS-1 and SOCS-3, play a distinctly similar role in
hampering insulin sensitivity. Their research, published in 2004,
demonstrated how these molecules trigger insulin resistance by interfering
with the successful connection of insulin to its matching receptor on the
surface of your cells. This is yet more evidence that you should make the
proper choices now to bring your body back into balance with our improved
health and weight programs we have been mentioning.
Under the influence of chronic inflammation, hormones that should function
to protect your health are thrown into disarray. As their levels increase,
they begin to destroy your health, encouraging weight gain and more
inflammation. For those that have a chronic weight problem, this is the
vicious cycle they face, whenever they try to lose weight and keep it off.
Don’t ever let anyone tell you that weight problems are not the
result of hormones. They are totally
dependent upon hormones that misfire. Breaking the vicious cycle of obesity,
inflammation and hormone disruption or imbalance
is the greatest nutritional challenge in the world today and we have the
answers for you.
Drugs will not fix this problem. The
problem with pharmaceutical drugs is: there aren’t any that do the right
thing. Drugs that are used to treat the kind of inflammation associated with
pain, like aspirin and ibuprofen,
don’t act on the part of inflammation that produces hormone resistance,
which is the infection. At high doses, they cause fluid retention, which
only increases the bloating you feel. It is ridicules not to attack the
problem and not just the symptom.
NOTICE: There is something that can counter the kind of
inflammation associated with obesity or illness that attacks the problem and
doesn’t just mask the symptom like drugs: and that is
Rejuvenis
OSH ionic Silver, proper
nutrition, eating regularly, exercising regularly,
drinking the correct water
and supplementing the body with the
nutrients robed from our today’s food supply.
A major problem of the modern,
obesity-causing diet—often overlooked—is that the natural,
inflammation-fighting components of food have been removed.
It’s true that our food supply is loaded
with concentrated manmade high calorie ingredients, like added sugar and
added fats, which are easy to slurp down. Just as important, is what has
been removed from our food: nutrients that fight inflammation. What are
they? There are two major categories: GOOD FATS and PHYTONUTRIENTS.
Omega-3 fats
Heart health:
Good fats are starting to receive the
attention they deserve. They are known as
OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS, because of their unique chemical structure. They
are found in fish, green leafy vegetables, and some nuts, beans and seeds.
We offer the most pristine Omega-3 cold water krill,
Rejuvenis Omega-3.
Some of the popular weight loss diets of the
past few years have talked about good fats, usually in conjunction with
"good carbs". Most of them have you get your supply of omega-3’s from fish
oil rather than from food. That’s a shame because fresh fish oils exposed to
the air convert to Omega-6’s; also because foods containing omega-3’s,
contain other natural inflammation fighters as well.
Most of the fat we eat is composed of fatty acids, which are made from long
strings of carbon atoms linked together. It’s the type of fatty acids in the
fat that determine its nature.
SATURATED FAT: Saturated fat is solid at room temperature, butter for example or
coconut oil or the fat you trim from a steak; these are called "saturated"
because hydrogen atoms surround all of the carbon atoms in them. All
chemical linkages are filled; no potential chemical bonds are left unfilled.
They are completely saturated; the string of carbons gets straight and
stiff.
UNSATURATED FAT:
Fatty acids in which some of the carbon atoms have chemical bonds that
are not filled by hydrogen are called Unsaturated Fat; they tend to curve
and get softer. They get liquid at room temperature, like most vegetable
oils. The more liquid oil gets, the more unsaturated it is said to be.
MONOUNSATURATED OIL:
Monounsaturated oil is Olive oil, which is liquid at room temperature but
when refrigerated it congeals and becomes goopy.
POLYUNSATURATED OIL:
Polyunsaturated oils can be some corn oils
that stay liquid in your refrigerator and in your freezer will thicken.
OMEGA’3:
The most unsaturated of all the fats you
consume, are fish oil. Even in the freezer a high grade omega-3 fish oil
will remain a liquid.
What’s important about omega-3 fats is not just
omega-3’s fluidity; it is important to note that the name,omega-3’s
, refers to a chemical structure related only to it. We are not able to
produce omega-3’s in our body or to develop them with any body process, or
to transform any other kinds of fat into omega-3’s. We have to get them from
food or a pristine supplement, such as our Rejuvenis Omega-3 we
provide our clients at the Anti-Aging Clinic.
Omega-3’s actively fights inflammation naturally. The Anti-Aging Clinic
Assoc., Inc., in Tamarac Florida, actively encourages our clients to use
omega-3’s to supplement their diet for the many years that our research
and development center has been open. We stress that the Rejuvenis
omega-3’s gel capsule must contain the pristine cold water
omega-3’s krill oil. The products we support must pass a rigorous
acceptance process, and, must be able to be tested in the body for their
effectiveness. We offer several types of testing to authenticate the
effectiveness in each of our clients.
In the beginning scientist’s thought that
omega-3’s were similar to aspirin that reduce the levels prostaglandins,
which are inflammatory mediators. But further research has shown that
omega-3’s do much more. Their anti-inflammatory effects extend further than
aspirin’s anti-inflammatory effects and without the negatives produced by
aspirin. Some aspirin side effects can
be: increased bleeding, induces gastrointestinal bleeding, can raise
the probability of getting Reye‚s syndrome in children and teenagers, and
can cause overdose poisoning.
Rejuvenis
Omega-3’s are a natural component of various complex regulatory systems
in the cells of our bodies. Rejuvenis
Omega-3’s fats have proven value for assistance in prevention of heart
attacks, heart arrhythmias, high blood pressure, arthritis, diabetes,
colitis, asthma, schizophrenia, depression, and dementia.
In the beginning and up the industrial revolution,
omega-3’s for humans were obtained from consuming wild animals and farm
raised cattle. These animals ate grass and leaves and they stored
omega-3’s fats in the meaty flesh, which was eaten by humans. Cattle in
today’s commercial farms and ranches are fed corn or soy from manufactured
feeds absent the
omega-3’s and therefore not in the animals meat.
Commercialized agriculture and fish farming
has eliminated
omega-3’s as well and now the major sources of
omega-3’s are from wild fish, beans, nuts, seeds and leafy greens
vegetables; plus navy beans and kidney beans, making it absolutely essential
that we supplement. Walnuts and Flax seed are other excellent sources of
omega-3’s ; walnuts were the health food of the Romans.
Purslane, another source has many uses in
Greek cooking and supplied the ancient Greeks with a source of
omega-3’s . Our generation has witnessed a progressive depletion of
omega-3’s from our food supply and from other cultures around the world
as well. Because
omega-3’s make food have a short shelf life, processed food
manufacturers systematically removed them from foods for humans and feed for
animals. The result is a deficiency of
omega-3’s in all industrialized countries. Problems of coronary heart
disease, obesity and chronic inflammation have exponentially exploded onto
the seen. Any correction of our mistakes because of this must be in the
choices be make for our future health and one choice should be by adding
Rejuvenis
omega-3’s cold water krill to your diet.
Phytonutrients
"Phyto" means plant and the term "phytonutrient" applies to
nutritional substances found in organically grown plant food that is allowed
to ripen on the vine or tree, improves the way your body functions.
The plants we eat, even though they are
picked green, still contain thousands of phytonutrients, all be it, they are
missing the vital ones only mother nature can provide by allowing her to
complete her job.
The appetizing
colors of fresh fruits and vegetables derive from the presence of
anti-inflammatory phytonutreints known
as carotenoids and flavonoids are vital nutrients.
Carotenoids are fat-soluble compounds that
range in hue from light yellow to deep orange.
The best-known carotenoid is beta-carotene,
the orange pigment evident in carrots
and cantaloupe. But other carotenoids,
like lutein,
lycopene and
zeaxanthin, have recently received considerable attention for
their benefits in preserving vision and fighting cancer.
We recommend a diet with Omega-3 protein and
high in mixed carotenoids.
fruits and vegetables that contain
carotenoids; such as carrots,
broccoli,
spinach, tomatoes,
winter squash and
papaya are good health food.
Flavonoids
typically range from bright yellow to deep purple in hue. Important
anti-inflammatory flavonoids are found
in blueberries,
cherries,
pomegranate, citrus fruits,
purple grapes, green tea,
onions,
dark chocolate and many herbs
and spices.
In the U.S., perhaps more than in any other
country, food has gotten blander and blander, being grown of mineral
nutrient depleted soil. American tastes have grown accustomed to the taste
of manmade sugar, fat and the unhealthy iodized salt.
A major defect of almost every weight loss
diet is its reliance on manmade sugar substitutes, fake manmade fats and
manmade artificial flavors to reduce caloric intake. If you use these
manufactured ingredients in an effort to lose weight, you are reinforcing
the brainwashing of your appetite, which
believes it can only be satisfied by a sweetness or oiliness or saltiness
that overpowers all other flavors of food, which may be subtle or pleasantly
pungent or tart in taste. As much as you need to avoid empty calories and
junk food, you need to embrace the herbs and spices that lend amazing taste
to meals and snacks and to remember:
There is something that can counter the kind
of inflammation associated with obesity or illness that attacks the problem
and doesn’t just mask the symptom like drugs: and that is
