IS THERE A SOLUTION TO AMERICAS WEIGHT PROBLEM?
This author thinks, there is hope!
More than half of all American adults are overweight and it's hard to
turn on the TV without encountering a commercial for another weight
loss remedy. This growing epidemic of obesity has not spared even the
young school children who are showing high blood pressure, and other
psychological and social problems related to overweight.
Overweight is not only a personal problem but has become a national
crises that drains our financial resources. Over 30 billion dollars
are spent annually on weight reduction efforts in the United States,
and the 30 billion dollar figure does not include the medical costs
resulting from obesity-related diseases. For example, approximately
100,000 coronary by-p***** are performed yearly at an average cost of
over $70,000 each (i.e. $7 billion per year), and about 1,000 people
in the U.S. alone die everyday of cancer.
Weight control can help with many of the health-related problems which
can reduce insurance and medical bills; and help solve the national
health care crises.
Many of us know that to maintain a desirable weight is good, not only
in terms of good looks, but more im****tantly, in terms of good health.
However, the relation****p between proper weight and health is more
complicated than you think. The scales and scientific methods for
calculating overweight and over all fat amount are im****tant, but more
im****tant in terms of health is where you carry the fat more than how
much extra fat you carry. One of our aim is to tackle this problem,
and to provide an effective technique to lose weight. Overweight or
obesity is Probably one of the most im****tant dietary problems talked
about and written about today.
Weight problems are rare in populations where a lot of natural fruits,
vegetables and whole grains are consumed. But excess weight is a
common problem in developed countries like the United States, where
the progress of scientific and technical development has led to the
common use of processed and refined foods, as well as use of growth
hormones for profitable animal farming. One of the obvious effects of
this move is the high caloric intake resulting from the decreased
volume of processed foods. In other words, over-consumption of
calories to fill the stomach, which leads to an overweight. Traces of
growth hormones from farm animals is also a contributing factor for
the overweight problem.
Not only the diet but life style, whether sitting on a computer or
watching TV or using a car, is equally responsible for overweight
crises. The problem is a new one; never before has man had so wide a
choice-or so regular a supply-of good food; or such easy access to
vehicles that even natural exercise such as walking requires a special
effort.
All kind of diets, exercise programs and other solutions have not
worked even though it has become a billion dollar industry. If it did,
we will not have all these grim statistics and over-weight people
walking around.
This book goes beyond the traditional solutions and describes the very
personal secret that I am sharing for the first time. The secret that
is most effective among any method I have tested or written about
weight loss.
I have known whatever is to know about weight, health, yoga,
meditation from East as well as from West. Because I have an advanced
degree in science in the west at Yale University in USA and had my
earlier education in the East at Punjab University in India. I have
written 12 guides combining Eastern and Western approach to health
from happiness to longevity.
However, I could not reduce even 5 pounds with typical diet and
exercise. Look below my daily eating habits and other life style that
many of us including medical and scientific experts can call ideal.
Here it is my typical day:
After getting up in the morning: 1 cup of tea with no sugar but little
skim milk
Breakfast: 1/4 cup Oatmeal cereal
Snack: Apple, Banana or other fruit
Lunch: About one cup Frozen Vegetables microwaved, plus egg-white from
boiled egg.
Evening Snack: Mostly Tea only [rarely a bran muffin].
Super: Two whole wheat (or millet) chapattis equivalent to about 2
slices of bread. Vegetable cooked Indian style with spices and little
oil.
Drink plenty of water, 2 cups skim milk, no soda, no alcoholic drink
(except in a company or at a party).
Exercise: About 5-10 minutes of yoga stretches in the morning. 3-4
miles walk in the evening.
This schedule is quite healthy and have kept me disease free, pain
free, and youthful in all aspects so far in my 60s now.
You will wonder what is left to tell that can reduce weight and
stomach after following the above schedule. I was thinking the same
till I tried something very simple and very effective. It can be done
anywhere, anytime and requires no special equipment. And this is not
even any diet or vigorous exercise or some nutrient, vitamin, hormone,
and drug that I am promoting.
The book is divided in three parts. Part one is about diet concept
using the best of eastern traditions and western scientific knowledge.
However, the traditional dieting approaches, in general, have not
worked, and the number of over-weight young and old have gone up. We
suggest you read this useful information. But may quickly go through
this part if not have time or not interested in dietary aspect. Part
two is actual technique that needs to be understood as thoroughly as
possible. Part three describes the science behind the technique and
technicalities. The readers is suggested to read part three primarily
to understand the theory and to master the technique. If not
interested in theory or don't have time, you may again quickly go
through part three. But we highly recommend you read it.
Finally remember "your body is a temple of the soul and the holy
spirit, a gift from God." Consider every day what you can do to Care
for the Temple. With child obesity rates at national health emergency
levels, it is time to treat those fat, unhealthy, undisciplined, drug
infested bodies like a temple.
