the
ideal fat thermostat:
The factors that
can raise or lower the level of the thermostat,
determining the weight of the person. Genetic factors for
slimming and weight loss.
There is no such
"fat gene", in strict sense, but it has been proved in
innumerable statistical investigations that the father or
the mother of 70 per cent of the obese persons may also
have the same problem. An innate characteristic that can
favour the obesity is the presence of a higher number of
adipose cells, which store interior fats that we consume
during our lifetime, and important for losing weight and
slimming.
Two types of
obesity exist:
- When the
(adipose) cells fill with a quantity of fat
(hypertrophy).
- When there is a
larger quantity of fat cells.
Also the mixed
type exists, when both things happen. The adipose cells
fill with fat or multiply depending on our type of
feeding during the infancy and the
adolescence.
Psychological
factors for weightloss: From the first weeks of life,
diverse psychological factors they can propitiate also in
the child a tendency to the obesity. The above mentioned
factors are tied to the form in which one treats it, the
food education that receives the formation of one´s
self-esteem, his grade of identification with the mother
or the obese father, etc.
We keep on
analyzing the factors that intervene in the change of the
level of the thermostat.
Under
nourishment : mental capacity and longevity.
In an
investigation that is realized for four years, in that
three thousand rats were used, scientists of the Federal
University fed a part of these guinea pigs with the basic
diet of poor inhabitants of the northeast of Brazil:
beans, flour of manioc, sweet potatoes and a little of
charqui (meat dried outdoors and with little salt, sliced
). The rats that were fed by this scarce ration developed
big adult heads, while his bodies remained like children;
they were the thinnest, had thick skin, simple-minded,
and a limited learning ability, and they died early in
life. To study the behaviour of these guinea pigs
opposite to the external stimuli, the investigators set
in different cages to the well fed rats and to those who
only were receiving the basic diet of the poor
Brazilians. Then they applied to two groups of rats with
identical doses of electrical charges with an opportunity
to escape by climbing up a mast that had been placed in
the centre of the cage, Before applying the electrical
charge they also played the same music. After the fifth
test, the well fed rats were running towards the mast and
escaped easily. On the other hand, the undernourished
ones were desperately running from one place to other,
and only after ten tests of electrical charge did they
learnto escape when they heard the music.
The
fat consumption for weight loss and to slim
Tip: it is very
recommended to avoid food with more than 20 per cent of
fat. But remember: cholesterol is not a poison. It is
part of the body, necessary, but in controlled
doses.
tip: Cholesterol
realizes the biosynthesis of the billi, essential acids
for the absorption of fat. In addition to this, the
resistance of the skin increases and helps to avoid exess
perspiration. It helps to produce also some fundamental
hormones for our metabolism, like cortisone, as well as
also the sexual hormones. If the body has a lac of
cholesterol we can have a strong desire for greasy foods,
like a mixed grill of meat.
Tip: But
an extra
desire and appetite for certain foods and nutrients that
are known to produce oxyntomodulin, reduce levels of
ghrelin and leptin. Oxyntomodulin is a hormone found in
the stomach that greatly reduces appetite. Ghrelin
increases the appetite, and leptin is associated with
appetite and desire.High protien meals have been shown to
reduce ghrelin levels, while fatty foods have a slow
effect on ghrelin levels. Fructose, although has a low
glycemic index is also very bad towards ghrelin levels,
even worse than pure glucose. Omega 3 fatty acids from
fish are the best way to lower leptin levels, as well as
consuming more frequent meals.
Ideal
food for weight loss
To drink water is
one of the best remedies to fight obesity. In the brain,
the centres of famine and of the thirst sometimes are
mixed. Then the person is thirsty, but his brain thinks
that he is hungry. If you want to slim, each time you
feel hungry, drinks first a water glass. Ideal: drink at
least from six to eight water glasses per day. To drink
water is very good for the health, to improve the skin;
helps to avoids wrinkles and cleans the
organism.
food
in weight loss and nutrients
PROTEINS:
everything which grows, animal or vegetable contain
proteins in large or small quantities. The proteins are
the base of all the living flesh; a balanced diet must
contain 20% of proteins. Fish and meat are rich in
proteins, also milk, egg, cereals. The proteins contain
20 basic amino acids that are absorbed by the blood
stream and sent all around the body, they are
reconstructed and form the specific proteins that every
organ needs.
CARBOHYDRATES:
sugar and the starches eg. cereals, potatoes, rice,
fruit, pasta and sweets in general. The carbohydrates
provide necessary energy.
FATS: of
course there are obvious fats such as: oil, butter,
fat... and then there are cheese, milk, meats and blue
fish. Fats must be limited to 10 % of our daily diet,
this quantity is essential so that our blood absorbs by
means of the digestion vitamins eg. A and the D.
Undoubtedly the fats help to digest the food and at the
same time an excellent source of energy.
