Stress and Fat: Discover the Stress and Fat Connection

Can a pill reduce stress and “stubborn” belly fat?  The answer
to this question may shock you and save your life.  Discover the
real connection between stress and fat.  The “diet” and
weight-loss industry has preyed on our lack of knowledge about
health, fitness, and nutrition for too long.  Since much of the
truth has been exposed about the fat-free fad, the low-carb fad,
and the food pyramid misrepresentation in the Standard American
Diet (SAD), the “diet” and weight-loss industry has revamped its
approach by jumping on the “stress factor” bandwagon.    Let’s
get down to the truth.  Stress causes fat.  Stress causes fat by
chemical imbalances in the body.  These chemical imbalances are
related to the body’s pH level.  pH levels above 7.0 is alkaline
and pH levels below 7.0 is alkaline.  The body’s a properly pH
balanced body is slightly alkaline at about 7.365.  This level
of alkaline produces healthy cells.  Healthy cells produce
health tissue such as lean muscle.  Unhealthy cells—acidic cells
produce fatty acids which produce fatty tissue.    However,
there is more to consider.  Where does stress originate?  It
originates in the body.  When we have the right nutrients in our
biological terrain (inside of our body), life is less likely to
stress you out.  Hence, much of the stress we have comes from
the foods we eat.       For the average person, 80% percent of
what we eat has no nutritional value.  About 40% of the foods we
consume are meats and animal products such as milk, cheese,
butter, which have nutrients, but these nutrients do not
assimilate well in the Human body.  We eat it because we enjoy
the way it tastes and because it gives us a temporary sense of
fullness.  The other 40% is processed foods such as pastas,
breads, canned foods, and frozen foods.  Only about 20% of what
we eat is actually raw fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and
seeds.  This ratio not only promotes anaerobic pathogens, it
also causes obesity, nerve damage, allergies, and stress.   The
symptoms of stress, low self-esteem, and depression are results
of chemical imbalances that often manifests as excess weight. In
a vicious cycle, excess weight gain and food addiction
contribute to many physical, emotional and spiritual maladies. 
However, the source can be linked to biochemical imbalances
caused by acidosis.  Again, pH vitality is the answer.   Often
times what has been diagnosed as “food addiction”, “stress”,
“emotional eating” is the result of acidosis (a highly acidic
biological terrain).    Emotional stress can decrease the body’s
alkalinity just as acidosis can cause stress.  Why are so many
people so stressed?  Well, most people have a pH level of about
5.1 to 6.0.  With an acidic biological terrain such as this,
stress flourishes.  The stress stems from the amount of pressure
placed on the body to try to alkalize the internal environment
so that it can release metabolic waste.   You feel pressure
because your body feels pressure.  For example, have you ever
tried to work in a junky office with papers piled up on the
floor, desk, and in chairs?  In the office, there is dust
everywhere and nothing is in order.  There’s hardly any room on
the desk for the computer because books are stacked up
everywhere and just as you clear a space on the desk…someone
brings in five more stacks of paper and covers the desk again. 
How much work do you think you would get done in this
environment?  How stressed do you think you would be? The same
thing happens in the human body.  When your body has a highly
acidic environment, the body feels the pressure.  It needs to
alkalize the body so it starts by searching the blood for
minerals.  No minerals there?  Well, then the body robs it from
your bones.  Finally, the body is able to eliminate some of the
metabolic waste.  But, oh no, you just drank a diet soda, ate a
bag of chips, and ate 3 slices of pizza. Now just when the body
had a little bit of the metabolic waste eliminated, you bring in
non-nutritional substances that the body can’t even use to
restore itself from all the work it has done to eliminate some
of the previous metabolic waste.  You feel that lack of energy
so suddenly you crave a pack of Oreos.  The body then gets that
“quick” energy it needs.  Therefore, it begins to work from that
energy.  It has enough energy to digest the food to help you get
through some of your physical activities for about 2 hours. 
Suddenly, you’re tired again.  The body has digested the food
but much of the food you ate was dead and useless.  It had no
nutritional value.  So, much of that food becomes metabolic
waste.  And once again, the body feels the stress of getting rid
of this acidic material, so it searches the blood for minerals. 
No minerals are there; then, it robs the minerals from the
bones.  And the cycle continues.  Do we really understand the
physical stress the body is under?  Can we see now how aging,
weight gain, and stress are inevitable? And what have we been
told is the answer?  A pill is what the diet and weight-loss
industry has provided as an answer—yet another foreign
substance.  Let’s put the facts on the table.  If what you put
in the body is not a fat, carbohydrate, or protein, your body
eliminates it as waste plain and simple.  Yes, some water
soluble minerals and phyto-nutrients are great supplements but
these substances naturally assimilate in the blood stream adding
minerals.  To settle the question about herbs, herbs are food
with nutrients. Many of the pills on the market today supported
by the diet industry are stimulants.  Stimulants only work for a
short period of time after which the body becomes immune to them
and they stop working.  Have you ever taken a diet pill to
suppress your appetite?  After about 6 months of taking the
pill, you probably had to up your dosage in order to continue to
suppress your appetite.  Quick fix pills carry you the distance
with weight-loss. Moreover, these pills, which have been
manufactured to reduce stress and burn fat, contain stimulants
that cause heart palpitations, elevated blood pressure, and
liver damage.  When we lose weight we want to be healthy, fit,
vibrant and full of life.  What is the point in losing fat if we
lose our lives in the process? It is time to get the knowledge
we need about health, fitness, and nutrition.  We need to learn
how the body and food work together as well as the role that
exercise plays in alleviating stress and aging.  Give yourself a
chance at a healthy and vital life.  Knowledge is power.  To
