MANAGING YOUR WEIGHT

Body Mass Index (BMI) is used to determine overweight and obesity. Body Mass Index is a figure which is calculated by using a persons weight and height. An adult person with BMI between 25.0 and 29.9 is considered overweight and an adult person with BMI 30 or higher is consiedered obese.
For most people, body mass index correlates with the amount of body fat. However, BMI doesn’t directly measure body fat.

There are two causes for obesity:
1. Obesity resulting from excess fat and
2. Obesity resulting from water and waste product deposits.

Obesity resulting from excess fat is due when we take in more calories than we consume. If we don’t excercise and we eat lots of food which contains lots of fat and sugar, then we don’t consume enough calories.

Obesity resulting from water and waste product deposits happens when the balance between acids and alkalines in our body is disturbed. If we eat lots of food which produce acids (meat, coffee, sausages), our body stats to buffer the acids with minerals and stores them with water.
In this process, the fat cells work as “trash cans”.

If we want to loose weight effectively, the first thing to do is togo through a thorough deacidification of the body. When our body has lost acids and waste deposits properly , we can prevent metabolic products from being stored again.

When we pay attention to the both forms of obesity - obesity resulting from excess fat and obesity resulting from water and waste product deposits - we can loose weight with permanent results. There is no weight loss without loosing toxins and acids!

Today, we take in more energy and calories than we consume. There is more food available than before and our everyday life requires less physical activity than before.
Nowadays we do not simply need as much energy as our ancestors did. Also, our society has turned very “food centered” compared with the time of our ancestors: today food is considered to be a source of enjoyment rather than a source of survival.

PROBIOTICS - BASIS OF OUR HEALTH

The word "probiotic" originates from the Greek language and it means "for life". The word "probiotic" includes lactobacilli and all naturally occuring beneficial bacteria in our intestinal tract. The term "probiotic" has been used since year 1965.

A probiotic product is a product which contains live microorganism which change the intestines bacterial flora, balancing and improving a person's immune system.

Probiotic bacteria favorably change the intestinal microflora balance, prevent the growth of harmful bacteria, promote good digestion, boost our immune system and increase our resistance to different infections. Probiotic bacteria also produce bacteriocins. Bacteriocins are substabces which act like antibiotics to kill harmful microorganisms. In the intestines, the probiotic microorganisms cling to the cells on the intestines' mucous membrane. There is about 1.8 kg of lactobacilli in a healthy, grown up person!

Today, we get 100 000 times less probiotic bacteria from food than our ancestors did in the stone age. Our ancestors did not sufferer from illnesses resulting from the high standard of living like overweight, cardiovascular diseases or diabetes. Genetically, a human being has not changed that much during the past 40 000 years. Today, we need probiotic bacteria as much as our ancestors in the stone age.

Mr. Ilja Iljitš Metšnikov is concedered to be the "father" of probiotic treatments. He worked in the Pasteur Institute in Paris and was awarded Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1908. He studied the human intestinal flora and came up with a a theory that senility is caused because of poisoning of the body by the products of certain of these bacteria. Mr. Metšnikov suggested a diet which contained milk to prevent the multiplication of these bacteria. The milk would be fermented by bacilli which produce large amounts of lactobacilli.

There are many sources of probiotic bacteria. Yogurt is a very common and popular source of probiotic bacteria. However, not all yogurts contain this beneficial bacteria - for example frozen yogurts contain no live bacteria. Probiotic bacteria can also be obtained from different kinds of nutritional supplement products.

LACK OF OXYGEN

Oxygen is one of the five basic elements of life. The other four basic elements of life are: hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and sulphur.

Oxygen is the source of life. There is oxygen everywhere around us. Lack of oxygen has many effects on our health.

Professor Otto Warbur (Nobel price in 1931) found out significant associations in the area of metabolism at cell level.
A cancer cell is originally a cell which needs oxygen for metabolism. However, this cancer cell can change it's form so that it can survive also in a oxygen-free environment. Professor Warburg came to the conclusion that cancer cells can develop only in oxygen-free environment. Glucose begins fermenting when there is not enough oxygen at cell level. At this stage a cell is no longer functional and well and cannot provide a body with energy. A low oxygen level in blood lowers our immunity considerably.
Oxygen plays an important role in toxin desposal from a single cell and thus from the whole body. Oxygen has an important role also when fighting the free radicals. These are atoms and molecules which are missing an electrone. Because of this they are very unstable and get easily nervous. Free radicals live less than 1/10.000 seconds but they can disturb metabolism already during this time significantly. Because of a missing molecule they have an overactive ability to bind other molecules and "steal" electrones. Antioxidants help us to build a healthier system which is able to defend against free radicals.

There is no metabolism without oxygen. There is no energy without metabolism at cell level. Oxygen is the source of life. Lack of oxygen causes illnessess and weakening of health. We need oxygen to survive. Main oxygen suppliers are rain forests and sea plankton. The main key to our health is in optimal metabolism and in the balance between nutrients and oxygen.

A cancerous cell is originally a cell which needs oxygen for metabolism. However, this cancerous cell can change it's form so that it can survive also in a oxygen-free environment. Professor Warburg came to conclusion that cancerous cells can develop only in oxygen-free environment.
When there is not enough oxygen at cell level, begins glucose fermenting. In stead of providing the purest cell energy (A.T.P = Adenosin-Tri-Phosphat), it starts fermenting with glucose. At this stage a cell is no longer functional and well and cannot provide a body with energy. A low oxygen level in blood lowers our immunity significantly.
Oxygen plays an important role with waste deposit from a single cell and thus from the whole body. Oxygen has an important role also when fighting the free radicals. These are atoms and molecules which are missing an electrone. Because of this they are very unstable and get easily nervous. Free radicals live less than 1/10.000 seconds but they can disturb metabolism already during this time significantly. Because of a missing molecule they have an overactive ability to bind other molecules and "steal" electrones. Anti-oxidants help to build a healthier system which is able to defend against free radicals.

Without oxygen there is no metabolism. Without metabolism at cell level there is no energy! Oxygen is the source of life. Lack of oxygen causes weakening of health and illnesses.
