Nutrition and Weight Loss Ideas

A couple of months ago I was in the local shopping mall doing some “people-watching” and I began to notice a disturbing similarity among the people I was seeing.

I know you’ve probably seen this same similarity — from the back, these folks look fine — they don’t appear to be overweight — they don’t have much of any love handles — but the noticeable thing is how their bellies seem to protrude out of proportion to the rest of their bodies. I also noticed that this seemed to be more predominate with men than with women.

I’m not writing about this to point fingers at anyone or to make light of this, but rather to help you understand that there’s a serious health risk with this body shape. There is so much being written these days — and there have been so many studies done — all showing that the more your belly sticks out the greater your risk of developing heart disease. In fact, most studies now show that the fat you have in your abdomen is more important to your overall health than your total weight.

Not too long ago there was an Oprah Show with Doctor Oz that talked about this problem of weight in the belly and its connection to heart disease. There was also a study done at Kaiser Permanente of Northern California where they measured the abdominal diameter (the distance from the back to the upper abdomen, midway between the top of the pelvis and the bottom of the ribs) of 101,765 men and women. They then followed the subjects for about 12 years.

Results of the study indicated that the men with the largest abdominal diameters were 42 percent more likely to develop heart disease as compared to those with the smallest. The increased risk for women with the largest diameters was 44 percent. The researchers noted an increase in risk even when these subjects were of normal weight.

If you, or someone you know, is carrying excess weight in their belly, you need to be more aware of the fact that they are at greater risk for developing heart disease. These folks need to begin, right away, to make better food and lifestyle choices. They need to avoid sweets and high-glycemic carbohydrates. They should also increase their intake of foods that contain omego-3 fatty acids. This is found in naturally raised meats, fish (especially salmon), fish oil, etc.

In addition to staying away from sweets and empty carbs, they need to avoid those foods that are high in omega-6 fatty acids — this would include fried foods, most of the vegetable oils, etc. In North America, the balance between the omega-3 and the omega-6 is way off. We should be getting more omega-3 and a lot less omega-6.

The other thing that can be done to help get rid of that extra belly-fat is to do some high-intensity exercise at least several times a week. Brisk walking, biking, running (if you can) are some examples. Also, adding in some weight bearing exercise is always a good idea.

You can also order “The Secret” from the Spiritual Cinema Circle.

The primary theme behind “The Secret” is the “Law of Attraction”. This law basically says that what we think about or desire — what we believe — what our feelings are about whatever we’re desiring — and what sort of action we take concerning those desires — will determine what we will attract into our lives. Learning how to apply the “Law of Attraction” is “The Secret”.
