Weight Problems - Facts You May Not Know
by Janis Ihrig
http://www.arkadias-choice.com/subscribe.htm
Why are weight problems so hard to resolve? Here are
some facts you may not know.
Billions are spent on weight loss programs but the
percentage of overweight people continues to climb.
The number of overweight people increased dramatically
during the last 40 years of the 20th Century~
According to government studies, the following statistics
reveal some startling facts about weight gain.
Overweight - 20 years of age and over - shows percent of
population
Year 1960-62 | 1971-74 | 1976-80 | 1988-94 | 1999-2000
US 44.8% 47.7% 47.4% 56.0% 64.5%
SOURCES: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
National Center for Health Statistics, National Health and
Nutrition Examination Surveys.
As you can see, the overweight problem in the United States
has escalated. There are over four million-plus entries
listed on Google.com for "Weight Loss." Do you know if any
these entries have a real solution? We are hoping to help
you out here, so you can determine for yourself what might
work and might not before you buy another promise that may
not address the underlying factors.
Fact One
Acids build up in the body. A few contributing sources
include processed foods, environmental pollution, chemical
cleaners and cosmetics, polluted water, pesticides, and
stress.
An overload of acids in the body will act as a poison to
it.
Definition: (from Random House Unabridged Dictionary)
"Poison: 1. a substance with an inherent property that
tends to destroy life or impair health. 2. something
harmful or pernicious, as to happiness or well-being."
"Pernicious: 1. causing insidious harm or ruin; ruinous;
injurious; hurtful: pernicious teachings; a pernicious lie.
2. deadly; fatal: a pernicious disease."
Fact Two
The body stores acid poisons in fat cells. This is what
the body does in order to keep the acid poisons out of
vital organs.
The body tends to hang on to the fat to keep the acid
poisons from doing more damage in other areas of the body.
When the body can't store the acid poisons in the fat
cells, they are stored in vital organs and/or excreted
through the skin causing skin eruptions or rashes.
Fact Three
The body uses a balancing mechanism to ensure high levels
of acid poisons do not circulate in the blood stream. You
can monitor the acid level by having a pH test done. (pH,
meaning potential of hydrogen, refers to a scale showing
how acid or alkaline something is, the more acid, the more
hydrogen, the more alkaline, more oxygen is present).
The blood of the body needs to be a pH of 7.365 which is
slightly alkaline, and the rest of the body works to ensure
this happens. A professional healthcare provider can
monitor the blood pH to predict and control health issues.
When the blood remains between 7.3 and 7.4 on a consistent
basis, the body has the ability to adjust to a normal
healthy state which includes ideal weight. The monitoring
of pH to predict and control health issues is not widely
practiced here in the United States.
You can monitor your blood pH by testing the pH of your
urine and saliva. There is a certain protocol to follow
and it is a good alternative to testing the blood pH.
When you get the urine and saliva pH to read 7.0 on a
consistent basis your body will be able to readjust to it's
appropriate or natural weight. Your cravings will change.
Your life will change... for the better.
Your body will be working against any weight loss program
which is not geared to move the pH of internal systems into
the appropriate balance. Detoxifying your body or ridding
your body of these acid poisons is a major factor in weight
loss.

own health and weight.
