Freehold Chiropractor Discusses: The New Solution to Healthy Weight Loss

More than 81% of the US population is overweight, and this is increasing quickly every decade leading to more health problems. Even children these days are showing more prevalence of being overweight and we're seeing illnesses in children that were rarely seen before.

The US is in a health crisis. $1.5 trillion is spent each year on health care. $2,8 billion prescriptions are written each year. 1.1 million deaths from heart disease. 770,000 deaths from cancer. Another 700,000 strokes, 18 million diabetes, 17 million suffer from asthma and 44 million suffer from arthritis.

The weight loss facts are as follows:

Obesity contributes to over 300,000 deaths per year in our country.

75 million people go on a diet every year

50,000 people start a weight loss program every day.

People are getting more sick and more overweight.

60 diseases are related to obesity.

Obesity has surpassed smoking as the number 1 killer!

This is the biggest epidemic occurring, yet in our society, doctors in general aren't addressing the main issue. They are just treating the symptoms of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, inflammation, respiratory problems (the list goes on and on), by prescribing medications that have many harmful side effects.

People are trying to take matters into their own hands by dieting. The question always is... what's the newest fad in dieting? From Atkins, South Beach, Weight Watchers and more recently the cookie diet... (Are you kidding me?) But yet, still severely increasing numbers of failed dieters and overweight people with more health issues.

Most give up on dieting as they lose an initial amount of weight, but hit a plateau. Then they quit the diet and gain the weight back. Many times, they gain more weight than they had lost. Have you experienced this? This is called yo-yo dieting and is extremely harmful to the body.

Unfortunately, counting calories is not the answer. Nor is blood typing, food typing, metabolic typing, this or that typing. Starving is the worst option I have seen... as it puts the body into starvation mode. Think of an animal that hibernates for the winter... they pack on the pounds.

What about exercise, which many say is the answer? Well, we are seeing more people join gyms and partaking in different activities for exercise, but yet they still aren't losing weight. Even in combination of exercise and diet, the frustration of losing weight mounts.

So, "What is the answer?" you are asking.

One of the biggest reasons people are gaining weight is the amount of chemicals or toxins we are consuming. Everything you eat, breath or drink has chemicals in it. Chemicals from food. Preservatives, pesticides and fertilizers are in everything. There are over 700 chemicals in our water, including drugs that are being found in the water supply. There is 700,000 tons of

pollution in the air. Chemicals from cosmetics and cleaning fluids. Animals are injected with hormones, steroids and antibiotics.

Our bodies have a filter system (the liver, kidneys, lymph system, colon and skin) to dispose of cellular waste, toxins and impurities, but it can't keep up with the overload! Our body then goes into fat storage mode. Our bodies store the poisons/toxins in fat cells. Toxic fat wrapped around our vital organs and waistlines. When you diet lose weight, but still are full of toxins, your body has a higher concentration of toxins, so you stop lowing weight and the body will physiologically start storing more body fat to surround the chemicals and try to protect your organs. Our internal filters were not designed to deal with this constant attack. Overwhelmed, our systems are in desperate need of a solution.

Also, our soils are depleted of nutrients and our food supplies are over processed. Our diets contain less nutrition than ever before by being grown in sterile, depleted soils, stripped of vital natural minerals and beneficial micro-organisms, chemically processed, heated and irradiated. The average diet simply cannot meet our body's demands.

Finally, lifestyle in the 2000's has been overcome by more and more stress. Our fast busy lifestyles increases the amount of stress, thereby causing the body to produce more cortisol. Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, and when under a lot of stress, toxic levels of this hormone build in the body. This can cause our immune system and our ability to fight disease and clear toxins to decrease.

So, the answer... well if toxins are the cause of this epidemic of overweight and obesity, the simple solution is to remove the toxins from the body. We change the oil filters in our cars regularly to keep up performance. We maintain the air and water filters in our homes. We brush our teeth and bathe to stay healthy. We need to keep our own systems healthy and vibrant. Cleansing the toxins that build up in our bodies every day and replenishing the vital nutrients that are missing in our diets is the missing key! We need to keep our body's internal filtering clean and working as intended.

There are many types of cleanses. Most people have heard of colon, liver or kidney cleanses, but this is not what is needed. What about the entire body? What if there is a way to cleanse every last organ, tissue and cell at the cellular level?

An ideal cleanse is nutrient dense with vitamin and mineral rich food that supports your body's natural ability to cleanse itself of the chemicals and toxins. An internal full body cleanse to increase your energy, promote your weight loss and help avoid premature aging. The challenges of our environment, lifestyle and diet are difficult to solve. The choice to take action to embrace health and energy and avoid premature aging is easy with a proper full body cellular cleanse that has no stimulants such as caffeine, ma huang, ephedra or other dangerous "diet" pills.
