Obesity Problem: less pulses for Obese

Obesity ProblemThe ‘ obesity and the strong overweight are considered social ills, not only for the inconvenience they cause the individual who is affected in comparison to current standards of beauty, but also for the fact that it is often the company to cause such problems : a company that “creates” the fat and then reject, a society in which to live fat and high calorie foods touted as excellent snacks and breaks hunger with anorexic models and fake beauty. On this very dramatic background fits a recent study, however, adds more facets to this problem: the company “creates” the fat, but not limited to the company.

The research in question has been put in place by the Yale University School of Medicine in Connecticut, and the University of Southern California, and is based on brain scans of people be so thin that fat, to monitor a small part of “officer” to control impulses. From this study it was found that when people who have been subjected to the study looked at high-calorie foods, functional magnetic resonance recorded in the thin part of the increased activity of the brain that controls impulses. In overweight people, however, has not been a great activity of this “brain space”.

The study involved 14 people, nine of which five are grossly overweight and lean, and the results were published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. Dr. Robert Sherwin, who has worked on this research, said: “I think there may be essentially biological reasons behind the fact that some people can not control their desire for food.”

But this can not be a justification for a state that can be seriously detrimental to health as well as beauty. Genetics aside, it is essential to provide adequate physical activity daily and eat healthily and properly, allowing themselves the goodies maybe once or twice a week. Then there will be those who have been helped more by nature and has a metabolism faster, not easily accumulate liquid and has no annoying fat pads. But eating healthily and doing sports is a right and a duty of all to themselves, regardless of the hit parade of beauty parades. Let’s leave those on TV, and enjoy the life we have the opportunity to do so, as we move more and eating well reward us. And smile, because it is the weapon of seduction more effective!

Essential fatty acids are good sources of energy, a fundamental step for the transport of oxygen to cells, and building blocks of hormones and cell membrane of the cells in our body.

In the following foods we can find essential fatty acids are fish such as salmon, trout, mackerel, croaker, sardines and Atlantic bluefin tuna. You can mix sesame seeds and sunflower to balance and get the 2 omegas. Or mix equal parts of linseed oil (flax seed oil) rich in omega 3 with virgin olive oil.

The linseed oil can be found in liquid form (which must be in a black bottle so that the light is not denatured and stored in refrigeration) or 1000 mg capsules. I recommend taking it in liquid form that is easier, because the capsules are large and have to take many to make the equivalent of 1 tablespoon, taken once a day, which is what is recommended.

One tablespoon is equivalent to 6 to 8 capsules 1000 milligrams.
Lecithin (phosphatidyl choline) to thin

The lecithin (lecithin) and phosphatidyl choline (Phosphatidyl choline) is a natural complex of phospholipids (related to triglycerides) and main source of choline (choline) on the complex B.

Lecithin is found in every cell of the body (key component in the cell membrane). Its greatest concentration is in vital organs like the liver, kidneys, brain and heart.

Meets basic functions such as production of acetylcholine in the brain, natural chemical used in nerve transmission. In the bile, lecithin acts as a “soap” that dissolves the fat for digestion and absorption.

In the bloodstream to help control cholesterol, preventing that adhere to artery walls (atherosclerosis) and carries fat and cholesterol as part of the proteins responsible for metabolism of fats called lipoproteins (LDL-DHL-VLDL) and chylomicrons .

In the intestine aids in the absorption of vitamin A, vitamin D and has influenced other fat soluble nutrients such as vitamin K and vitamin E.

Lecithin acts on the body as “emulsifier” due to the characteristics of the molecule, which may involve water and fat. A portion of the molecule attracts the fat and the other party attracts water. This feature is essential in the transport of cholesterol through the arteries and prevent plaque formation (which reduce the lumen of the artery occurring as a result atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction).

Lecithin Sources include soybeans, corn, liver, cauliflower, cabbage and egg yolk. Also used as an additive in chocolate, desserts, a salad dressing, baked goods and as the emulsifier in the manufacture of chocolate, margarine and ice cream. With the current food, highly processed, some people do not receive adequate amount of lecithin body functions.

To add lecithin as a supplement in your daily diet, look on the label the name phosphatidyl choline (Phosphatidyl choline). Some products are sold as natural lecithin but containing choline chloride (choline chloride) which is synthetic.
