WEIGHT
GAIN EPIDEMIC
Natural
Health Technologies Clinic
The
Hidden Epidemic
Contributing to
Weight Gain- Inability to lose weight - Obesity and other
Diseases
The number of people who are overweight
or obese has
“doubled” in the last decade.
In Washington State over 60% of the
population is over weight
and 23% are obese!
|
Do
any of the following sound familiar? |
| |
|
|
|
Excess fat around
the waist and buttocks. |
|
Dieting that just doesn't
work long-term no matter how hard you try. |
|
Lack of energy (especially
in the afternoon and right after large meals). |
|
Lack of concentration or
mental fatigue during the day. |
|
Exercising like crazy but
can’t lose weight? |
|
Health issues with high
blood sugar, high cholesterol or high blood pressure.
|
There
is Hope!
|
| |
If
you answered Yes to any of these questions, then you
may be suffering from one of these three blood sugar (glucose)
imbalance conditions: |
|
| |
Insulin
Resistance
Pre-Diabetes
Metabolic Syndrome
(Syndrome-X)
The hidden cause contributing to
Weight Gain the inability to Lose Weight Obesity and
other Diseases.
|
|
|
| |
Scientists
at the National Institutes of Health, Stanford University
and other research centers have clearly identified the existence
and effects of these conditions. If you are among the 60%
of the overweight population that’s overweight, your
ability to reverse your symptoms and lose weight may not have
been within your control - until now. |
| |
|
At
Natural Health Technologies we are here to help!

These
conditions, Insulin Resistance, Pre-Diabetes, Metabolic
Syndrome are not household words quite yet, but their
getting there.
An estimated 60
to 70 million Americans-about one
of every four people- have some degree of these
three conditions, which sets the stage for weight gain,
obesity, diabetes and a host of other diseases.
The
below is some general information about, Insulin Resistance,
Pre-Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome followed by a detailed
explanation of these three conditions.
|
| |
Insulin
Resistance
Over time, diets causing high blood sugar (glucose) levels have
damaged the complex ability of the body's cells to properly
utilize insulin to convert glucose (blood sugar) to energy.
|
|
Excessive Insulin
tells your body to store fat constantly |
|
Excessive Insulin inhibits
the body from releasing fat for energy |
|
Excessive Insulin tells
the liver to make more Cholesterol, leading to heart disease |
|
Excessive Insulin causes
salt retention and contributes to High Blood Pressure,
which can lead to heart failure. |
|
Excessive Insulin can accelerate
the aging process, as more stress is place on the body.
|
| |
| Bottom line is Insulin
Resistance inhibits you from losing weight no matter how
hard you try to starve yourself. |
|
| |
| |
Pre-Diabetes
Before people develop type 2 diabetes, they almost always have
"Pre-Diabetes" -- blood sugar (glucose)
levels that are higher than normal but not yet high enough to
be diagnosed as diabetes. |
| |
There
are over 50 million people in the United States who have Pre-Diabetes. |
| |
Recent
research has shown that not only weight gain but also some
long-term damage to the body, especially the heart and circulatory
system, may already be occurring during pre-diabetes.
It is estimated that by the year 2030…. 25%
of the population in the U.S. will have diabetes.
A five
minute screen test for Pre-Diabetes is now available at
Natural Health Technologies 1215 Regents St. Tacoma, Washington.
Monday thru Friday 7:00am to 11:00am. For more information

Metabolic
Syndrome
Metabolic Syndrome (Syndrome
–X), a health condition characterized by obesity, high
cholesterol levels, elevated blood pressure and pre-diabetes,
presently affects nearly 47 million Americans. This is a very
serious condition and advanced testing is necessary. |

METABOLIC
SYNDROME AND INSULIN RESISTANCE
Metabolic Syndrome (Syndrome X) is a collection of risk factors
that substantially increases your chances of causing damage
to your cardiovascular system, which can lead to a heart attack
or stroke.
Insulin Resistance is an underlying cause
of Metabolic Syndrome and there are many factors that contribute
to its presence in the body. High blood sugar levels are known
to be the main one contributing to insulin resistance and
metabolic syndrome.
Our so called modern
life styles have cause us to go through many changes but we
are still genetically "wired" to thrive on the entrenched
habits of our ancestors, who consumed toxic free, nutrient-rich
foods and a diet low in
carbohydrates, as well as engaging in
greater levels of movement and exercise. Some people may also
have a genetic predisposition to Insulin Resistance, but the
vast majority develop the condition through poor diet choices
and unhealthy lifestyles.
|
| |
| Metabolic
Syndrome also known as Syndrome
X. |
|
This
is the name given when people have several medical disorders
at the same time.
The syndrome includes: |
• Central obesity
(an apple shape
or a large waistline), where one's fat is localized around
the middle
• High blood pressure
• High triglycerides
• Low HDL-cholesterol
• Insulin resistance (the body can't properly control
blood sugar levels) |
|
| |
| The Metabolic
Syndrome typically affects adults beginning
in their late thirties and early forties and may pose a greater
health risk than smoking for heart attack and stroke. The condition
is being seen in children as well. |
| |
| Are you
an Apple or a Pear? |
|
Weight concentrated
around the abdomen and in the upper part of the body (apple
shape) is particularly associated with
insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, metabolic syndrome
diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke,
and unhealthy cholesterol levels. |
Fat that settles
in a pear shape around the
hips and lower body appears to have a lower association
with these conditions.
Weight gain in the area of and above the waist (apple
shape)
is more dangerous than weight gained around the hips and
flank area (pear
shape).
Fat cells in the upper body have different qualities than
those found in hips and thighs. |

Can’t lose weight
or keep the weight you lost from roaring back?
Insulin Resistance the vicious cycle |
|
Lack of energy
and fat inches around the waist may be the first symptoms
of insulin resistance. So what exactly is it? Simply put,
anytime you eat carbohydrates, i.e. bread, alcohol,
juice, potatoes, rice and sweets, your
body turns it into sugar. Then releases insulin, solely
for the purpose of signaling your cells
that sugar fuel is now present. |
| However there
is one other important factor involved. It was only recently
that cell researchers discovered little receptors that
live on the surface of your cell membranes. These receptors
act just like tiny antennas that detect insulin!
Insulin
resistance occurs when these tiny antennas get damaged
from overuse. The body then has to produce more
insulin to get the same job done.
Now this excess insulin stops fat stores from burning.
Extra insulin signals the fat cells to store
the sugar, placing your body into fat saving
mode, as if your body thinks you're a hungry
bear going into hibernation.
Now your metabolism
slows down, you're tired and
you're frequently hungry. You want
to eat more making you even more insulin resistant.
A vicious cycle isn't it?
As you can see, insulin resistance causes excessive
levels of sugar and insulin in your blood stream. Both
sugar and insulin are destructive in excessive quantities,
and have the effect of accelerating the aging process
itself as well as contributing to Weight Gain, Acne,
Heart Disease, PCOS, organ failure, and many other negative
side effects.
Bottom line is Insulin Resistance inhibits you
from losing weight no matter how hard you try to starve
yourself.
This breakthrough in understanding the body's biochemistry
remains relatively unknown, even though Insulin Resistance
has reached epidemic proportions. Your doctor may not
have explained the crucial link between Insulin Resistance,
Metabolic Syndrome, weight gain and damage to your cardiovascular
system. You need to understand this link in
order to reverse your condition.
Our Eat for Life Healthy
Weight Loss Program is designed to help restore your
body's ability to conquer your symptoms by helping to
reverse Insulin Resistance. For an appointment call

PRE-DIABETES
AND INSULIN RESISTANCE
INSULIN RESISTANCE NEGATIVELY
AFFECTS BLOOD SUGAR (glucose) AND INSULIN LEVELS |
| |
|
|
Over
time, the above factors have damaged the complex ability
of the body's cells to properly utilize insulin to convert
glucose (blood sugar) to energy. This process creates
Insulin Resistance, which can underlie Pre-Diabetes in
two distinct ways. |
| First, Insulin
Resistance vastly reduces the number of insulin receptor
sites or doorways on the walls of your cells. The average
healthy person has some 20,000 receptor sites per cell,
while the average overweight individual with Pre-Diabetes
can have as few as 5,000. If you have too few receptor
sites, glucose bounces off the cell wall, instead of passing
through the insulin door to be burned as energy. With
the cell door almost closed to it, glucose remains in
the blood stream, causing elevated levels of blood sugar,
which are sent to the liver. Once there, the sugar is
converted into fat and stored via the blood stream throughout
the body. This process can lead to weight gain
and obesity, key factors in creating Pre-Diabetes
and ultimately Diabetes. |
|
|
|
The second way
that Insulin Resistance causes Pre-Diabetes is by raising
insulin levels in the blood stream. Unhealthy lifestyles
and diet cause the pancreas to overproduce insulin.
The cell is, in turn, overwhelmed by this excess insulin
and protects itself by reducing the number of
its insulin receptor sites. |
| This process
leaves too few sites for insulin to carry out its normal
function, which is to attach itself to the cell wall and
act as a key in a lock allowing glucose to pass through
the cell wall and be converted into energy. The vastly-reduced
number of receptor sites in Insulin Resistant people causes
an excess of insulin "rejected" by the cell
to free-float in the blood stream, this process can lead
to weight gain and significantly increasing the risk of
developing Pre-Diabetes and ultimately Diabetes.

The
Last Word
Eight hundred thousand New Yorkers are suffering
from diabetes. All told, 21 million Americans have the disease.
Doctors estimate that another 50 million are prediabetic.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention anticipates
that one out of every three children born in the United States
will contract this fatal malady.
Diabetes causes heart attacks, stroke, kidney
failure, blindness, loss of circulation leading to gangrene
and amputation of feet, legs and hands. It destroys the
nervous system, leaving people in continuous, excruciating
pain, and it robs them of the power to fight off infectious
disease. As a public health problem, it dwarfs diseases
like AIDS by orders of magnitude but gets scant attention.
Did you know that the color of the diabetes ribbon is gray?
Have you ever seen one?
Five to 10 percent of diabetics inherit
the disease. For everybody else who has it — and that
is, to repeat, tens of millions — this killer is preventable.
No drugs are needed to protect people from diabetes, which
is unfortunate since in the free-market world there is no
money to be made in keeping people healthy. Fortunes are
to be made, however, by letting people contract diabetes
and then tethering them to a dialysis machine. Profit aplenty
is to be found chopping off feet and selling drugs for heart
disease.
Where are the big bucks in
diabetes prevention when all that is involved is teaching
people to eat right and exercise? Where is the money in
that unless you own a gymnasium?
|
The government estimates more than 5 million Americans have
Type 2 diabetes and they don’t know it. That group is
the walking time bomb. The extra glucose in their veins breaks
down their circulatory system which in turn causes heart attacks,
blindness, loss of arms and legs, kidney damage and stroke.
If diabetes is treated properly all that can be mostly avoided.
Currently, death certificates in America list diabetes as a
cause of death for about 70,000 a year. But because it causes
all those side effects, the true number of diabetes-caused deaths
could be closer to 5000,000. We are truly eating ourselves to
death.
High blood sugar levels
are the major causes of Weight Gain, Pre Diabetes, Insulin Resistance,
Metabolic Syndrome, illness and disease.
|
It's
no longer just certain people who need to worry about their
blood sugar levels; it's pretty
much everyone. |
