Toxic Fat: How Toxins Make You Fat and What you can do about it!

Do Toxins actually make you fat??

 What is the connection between toxins and fat and what can you do about it?

 According to Dr. Mark Hyman, "Scientists recently uncovered a surprising and disturbing fact: environmental toxins make you fat and cause diabetes. Inside the body, these chemicals monkey with our ability to balance blood sugar and metabolize cholesterol. Over time, the changes can lead to insulin resistance. This discovery should be headline news but no one is talking about it. Why? Because there are no drugs to treat it. In the quest to conquer the two biggest epidemics of our time—diabetes and obesity—we’ve got to turn our attention to the heavy burden environmental toxins put on our bodies."
As a direct result of all the toxins around us, in the air we breathe and the food we eat, our bodies are filled with toxins and our bodies literally use fat as a way to protect our vital organs from those toxins.
As Byron Richards, Certified Clinical Nutritionist put it: "A person who has too many toxins to process will make new fat cells and store those toxins along with fat in them. This is first a form of self-defense against being poisoned, and second, a strategy to get toxins out of the circulation and away from major organs. This means that some people will not be able to lose any weight at all, regardless of how little they eat, until the acute nature of their plumbing problems are addressed."


 So, what can we do about it?

How to Get rid of Toxins and Fat in the Body:
1- Increase Fiber-  Fiber acts like a sponge for toxins. Try to get your fiber intake range to 50-60 grams, which may be all it takes to get this problem on track.
2- Increase Antioxidants-  antioxidant nutrients are known to help cleansing and detoxification processes while protecting the liver, brain, white adipose tissue, and/or circulation.
3- Nutritional Cleansing: Cleansing can safely help to give the body the nutrients it craves while safely removing toxins and allowing the body to release unwanted and dangerous visceral fat.

Do We Really Need Nutritional Supplements? Top 5 Reasons We Need to Supplement

Do I really need to supplement? Why is it so important, anyways? Well, in a perfect world, none of us would need to supplement because we'd be able to get all the nutrients we need to survive from the food we eat.  But due to the poor quality of our modern diet from chemicals, preservatives and toxins, daily stresses etc, few of us are able to get what we need even in the most strict of organic diets. According to Dr. Mark Hyman, "Most people don’t understand the role of vitamins and minerals in our bodies. I certainly didn’t when I finished medical training. I thought if we just had enough to prevent us from some horrible deficiency state like scurvy (vitamin C deficiency), then you didn’t have to worry about how much you were getting. I also thought that if you ate “enriched food” like white flour with a few vitamins added back in, or milk with vitamin D added in, additional vitamin supplementation was a waste." read his article here: ' Do you need n...
