Belly Fat and Toxins

You read a lot about body shape - apple or pear - or do you carry your excess weight in your midsection or your butt and thighs. You are supposed to adjust your diet to your body type and metabolism rate and what sex you are.

I think those things are important to consider, but first why do you have the excess fat build up.

Not too long ago we had to remove the tomatoes from the produce section at the store - they had a possible contamination. Everything is back to normal now and tomatoes abound. But think about it - are they still a source of toxins. They are generally covered with pesticides and do you wash all your fruits and vegetables.

Now think about something else. Almost all the fresh produce you buy has been handled by multiple people who did not have freshly washed hands. Where have those hands been and what have they touched.

Your body has the ability to try and protect itself by encasing toxins in fat and storing them away. It takes all those little microbes and shunts them off to the belly fat file. All that excess sugar is stored in the same area. All those harmful preservatives and additives are shoved in the same area. This is your own personal toxic waste dump.

Now what happens when you start to lose weight and call on that fat reserve to fuel your muscles that you are building. You release toxins as well. You exercise and you end up not feeling very well maybe even getting a cold or flu or just achy. You blow it off as what do you expect using muscles not used very often.

When you release those toxins back into your system you set up an inflammation situation so it just makes sense to take a supplement that fights inflammation and helps to rid your body of toxins.

Try daily supplements of Turmeric and Cinnamon. Both fight inflammation and the Cinnamon has the added bonus of helping to regulate your blood sugars.

Now you have two more things to help flatten that belly bulge and fight the inflammation that leads to too many diseases to list here.

Powdered Coffee Creamer and 4 Pounds

I have read all the information on the artificial coffee creamers. They all say that the additives in the creamers tend to put on weight, increase appetite and in general puts lots of toxins in your body.

One month ago today, I started using a powdered coffee creamer in my morning coffee and my chai tea. That is the only change I made in my routine - diet stayed the same as did exercise levels.

I have gained 4 pounds and all of it is in the abdomen and waist. In fact my waist measurement increased by almost a full inch.

Will I miss the creamer - yes it does taste good. Will I miss the pounds - no way.

I am guessing that using a creamer is also cumulative. The longer you use it, the more weight you put on and the bigger the belly inflates.

So -- if you are using a creamer, stop. It may take a month to see the difference, but see a difference you will.

until next time - smile
