Obese
and Starving In America
Dr. Adaiah Ezekiel
Obstetrics/Gynecology
One
of the biggest challenges American families face today is finding the
right nutrition for long term health.
As
obesity numbers continue to rise, the number of those diagnosed with diabetes,
heart disease and cancer rise as well. This is particularly true
for uterine and ovarian cancers. A growing body of evidence is showing
a strong correlation between obesity and many of the life-threatening
diseases we’re seeing in our society. And despite well-intended
efforts to eat “healthy,” the average American remains overweight
- though “starved” of essential vitamins and micronutrients.
The
mass production process of many foods once holding significant nutritional
value, along with over farmed land and long shelf life preservatives have
today created a “non food” which is void of the nutrients
our body requires. Processed and fast foods take this to an even
more dangerous level, prepared with harmful inflammatory agents. Chemicals
used in processed foods build up in the intestine and disrupt the body’s
natural balance.
Our
bodies continue to crave nourishment despite the high number of calories
consumed by the average American in a day.
We
need to stop this cycle of overfeeding and under nourishing, by understanding
how to find the nutrients we need – fresh, locally grown and organic
foods. The micronutrients contained in these kinds of whole foods
are disease fighting antioxidants and utilized more fully by the body
to help maintain a healthy metabolic rate and energy level.
This
is very important for premenaupasal and menopausal women experiencing
hormonal changes. More than ever, their bodies need the right nutrition
to sustain a regular exercise program for healthy weight and bone protecting
muscle mass, ensure re-energizing and restful sleep and reduce the amount
of inflammation in the body.
This
state of health will dramatically reduce their risks for common female
cancers and other gynecological conditions.
When
the body gets the nutrients it needs, it is satisfied – less hungry
and more energetic. It functions in the manner in which it was intended.
This balance directly affects health, reducing and reversing the risk
of many diseases we’re seeing today.
