The four main causes of obesity include deficient nutrition (such as from raw vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds), an excess of toxic foods (such as from processed foods, sugar, white flour, cooked foods), too little hydration (the body consists of 70% water and requires an ounce of pure water for every two pounds of body weight each day), and stress.
The food choices the average American makes, overloads the digestive system and dumps unprocessed wastes into the colon that do not get moved out of the body. The decomposing wastes then get reabsorbed into the bloodstream, redistributing the waste throughout our entire system! Despite this process, it is unseen and many times produce very little symptoms that conventional medicine can pinpoint to a particular disease (practitioners receive only a few hours of nutrition education in their 8 to 12 years of medical education).
Unable to handle all these toxins, the elimination organs (liver and kidneys) are overwhelmed and start to store the toxins in themselves, which reduces their effectiveness even more. This produces physical and mental symptoms, such as constipation, insomnia, fatigue, depression, elevated cholesterol, or indigestion.
The continuing degeneration of the elimination organs leads to chronic degenerative diseases like heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, etc. The whole body is being poisoned.
Stress, often overlooked, is a huge factor in the formation of a toxic environment in the body, or can aggravate an existing unhealthy situation. Suppressive stress, to be precise, either in the form of another person or a circumstance, past or present, plays a very detrimental role by hampering attempts to detoxify the body.
The simple steps to overcoming obesity include: A) Identify and eliminate the causes of suppressive stress. B) Reduce intake of toxic food or eliminate it completely. C) Drink at least half the amount of your body weight in ounces of purified, clean water every day. D) Limit cooked foods to less than 20% of your diet. Add more raw vegetables, fruits, seeds and nuts to your diet. E) Use sea salt in lieu of table salt, which lacks the trace minerals found in sea salt. F) Cleanse the colon so there is no more self-poisoning from putrid, rotting waste. G) Exercise at least every other day to stimulate blood circulation. This will benefit all your organs. H) Cleanse your liver and kidneys.
