FAT BELLY
The number of men and women walking around with abnormally large bellies is increasing at an alarming rate. It sometimes is called "beer belly" but more and more of them are from other causes. Not only is fat belly disfiguring, but it is also life-shortening. The fast food industry can be blamed for much of this -- satisfying a person's hunger by serving a piece of meat inside a large bun ( made from white flour), and accompanied by a side dish of French fries and a large soda or Coke (containing high fructose corn syrup), and a dessert of pie or ice cream. All in all, it is a very high calorie meal with very little nutritional value except for some protein in the meat. It is severely lacking in vitamin and mineral content.
One's body can handle only a limited amount of carbohydrate. Carbohydrates stimulate the pancreas to secret insulin into the blood to take care of the sugar by turning it into adipose (fatty) tissue which tends to settle in the midsection of the body, and it is the most difficult fat to get rid of, giving rise to the fat belly.
Another factor that enters into our seeing more than normal numbers of fat bellies is that we do not cook at home as much as we used to. For a meal, instead of food with high vitamin and mineral content we reach for the bread to make quick sandwiches, or we cook spaghetti. Or we put some potatoes into the microwave, and we eat cake or pie or ice cream for dessert. And we serve soft drinks for the beverage. None of it is very nutritious. I forgot to mention the bagel or doughnut we had for breakfast.
Food should be chosen to rebuild and regenerate the billions of cells that need replacing every day. Cells need a constant supply of minerals and vitamins and protein to do their work. The American Medical Association has told us that the soils where our food is grown are depleted of minerals, so everyone should be taking a vitamin-mineral pill every day to supply the body with essential micronutrients. If we eat nutrient depleted food the big belly will just get bigger.. The vitamin-mineral supplements that are sold most places, are manufactured with the "bottom line" in mind. They often are covered with a coating to keep them from breaking down in the containers in which they are sold, and they more often than not do not dissolve in the digestive tract. Tons of them are found whole in sewage systems. They solve no problems for the big belly.
It would be better to use an all -in -one liquid nutritional supplement that has everything in it that the body needs.- where the particles are broken down into angstrom size giving them access into the blood stream and into the cells of the body in seconds for 98% absorption without having to be digested by the GI tract.
