EXERCISES AND FOOD REDUCTIONS MAY NOT LEAD TO WEIGHT LOSS IN WOMEN

EXERCISES AND FOOD REDUCTIONS MAY NOT LEAD TO WEIGHT LOSS IN WOMEN

(© 26 November 2017: Dr. V. M. Palaniappan, PhD. vmpalaniappan@gmail.com)

Dear Friends,

I was away from Malaysia for the past about three months, travelling around in India. Hence, I could not evaluate the recent developments in the area of health science.

The first news that drew my attention was in an article in Medical Xpress that had the following headline, and the full story can be read through: https://medicalxpress.com/news/2017-11-weight-loss-womenin-medium-term.html?utm_source=nwletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=daily-nwletter 

Exercise alone does not lead to weight loss in women—in the medium term November 23, 2017 by Hans-Peter Kubis, The Conversation. The original article was published in the journal Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism (2017). DOI: 10.1139/apnm-2017-0577 

In brief, people/women who do exercises with a view to reducing their body weight tend to reduce their food intake as well. Hence, one may not be able to say for sure which one gave them the result.

Some scientists subjected women to exercises and monitored their weight loss, and the result is what is revealed in the headlines above.

Dieting is said to help in losing weight, but exercises may not.

According to the scientists, ‘healthy eating’ includes AVOIDANCE of processed and SUGARY food, and also avoidance of SNACKS.

*   *   *   *   *   *

Let us evaluate this finding a little further:

The long-standing belief in the medical world is:

If you eat more food than you spend as energy, that extra is bound to get stored in the body.

Frequent eating, fast food and sugar tend to increase your body weight, and therefore, you are told to avoid them.

That stored food makes you obese. Therefore burn it off, and you will not turn overweight.

They say if you eat sugary food and take snacks frequently, you are bound to put on weight.

It is here I beg to differ:

It is NOT over-eating (or frequent eating of snacks) in terms of energy-providing calories that increases one’s body weight.

For instance, if you are going to eat abundant plain rice – more than what you can spend, you will not put on weight!

On the other hand, if you eat large quantities of cheese, milk, butter, eggs, sea food, biscuits, cakes, chocolates, over-ripe fruits such as tender papaya, etc. you may quickly end up being obese.

Eating meat and other fats tend to put on MEDIOCRE weight in people who live in COLD regions, such as highlands in the tropics, and temperate countries, Polar Regions and the like.

I think, one needs to recollect the body frame of a goat that is native of the tropics, and compare that with a lamb of any of the cold countries.

Both these, similar to rabbits and several other herbivorous animals, graze leafy materials NON-STOP, from dawn until it is dark. However, they do not feed on cheese, butter, eggs, sea food, biscuits, cakes, chocolates, etc.

If you dissect the body of a temperate country’s lamb, you will find a very thick layer of white FAT under their skin.

Whereas, the tropical goat will NOT have such a layer.

Let us see what particular factor contributes to these variations:

Living in cold climate requires the development of a thick fat layer to avoid death due to freezing. Thermal insulation becomes a necessity for survival.

Whereas, living in the warm climate in the tropical countries does not require such a protection. For that matter, excessive layer of fat may melt off in the hot climate.

Hence, in the process of evolution, the above have become genetic.

The presence of fat layer that arises from the food consumed is bound to increase the body weight of the animal in a country with cold climate. The fat layer can be excessively thick if the animal grazes excessive feed.

In the tropical-living animals, the over-consumed feed does NOT seem to form a thick fat layer under the skin, and the weight increase does not seem to be any significant.

If over-eating is to contribute to overweight, why then over-eating RICE does not make a person obese?

Again, if over-eating is the causative factor for obesity, why then the women who did exercises (as said in the article cited above) did not significantly lose weight?

Let us look into it a bit deeper:

In my recognition, over-consumption of food sure would increase the body weight of a person, but only to a SMALL extent.

Whereas, the TRUE OBESITY in the over-eating people appear to be coming from some other source, but that does NOT seem to be from plain CALORY EXCESSES – hence the above-reported finding.

If yes, what exactly can be the causative factor for the problem of overweight and obesity?

The difference between weight contributing group of eatables (viz., cheese, milk, butter, eggs, sea food, biscuits, cakes, chocolates, over-ripe fruits, etc.) and the non-contributing RICE should be the culprit.

What could that be?

The moment one names cheese, butter, egg, etc., what comes immediately to the mind is that they are rich in FAT. Hence, they can be blamed at once.

If fat is what is to be blamed, FISH or other sea food (of course, with some exceptions), biscuits and OVER-RIPE FRUITS may not have significant quantities of fats.

One thing that is common to ALL the weight-contributing eatables, with the exception of over-ripe fruits, is the PRESENCE OF PLENTY OF CALCIUM.

My 42-years of study shows that it is only CALCIUM in EXCESS (than what is needed for the body’s well-being) that makes a person overweight and obese.

How does Calcium mineral make a person overweight or obese?

Likewise, how then the over-ripe fruits, which may not have much calcium in them (in a manner comparable to cheese or seafood), does the same harm?

Let me explain the science of it:

Adult humans need only about 450 or 500 mg of Calcium per day.

 Children, since they need more for growing up, tend to require about 900 or 1000mg daily.

The above being the norm, what would happen when one consumes calcium-rich seafood, calcium-enriched consumables or even calcium supplements?

For certain, the quantity would go high up beyond the coping capacity of the body.

Human body is designed to deal with such abnormalities.

When one consumes far too much of calcium (or any such substance), if and when that happens to be water-soluble, all the excesses get rejected and are pushed into the drainage system – to be part of the LYMPHATIC fluid*.

(* The Calcium  excesses, which are highly alkaline, cannot be carried by the blood because, the pH of the blood would drastically get raised from being pH7.35 or so to a much higher reading, causing instant death of the person. Therefore, the Calcitonin that comes from the Thyroid gland, ‘pushes’ such Calcium excess into the Lymphatic System.)

The lymph takes the Calcium to the urinal bladder, through the kidneys.

When the person urinates, the Calcium excesses would get out of the body, thus leaving the person’s body in a healthy state.

How then a person can turn obese because of the Calcium excesses?

If we take 100 ml of water, and dissolve in it some salt, only a definite quantity of the salt will dissolve. That is called the Saturation Point. The water will not be able to dissolve more than that point.

If a person drinks in a day, say, 2 L of water, and urinates nearly all of it, may be all the Calcium EXCESSES would get dissolved in THAT quantity of water and may get out of the body in the 2 L urine voided.

On the other hand, if that person urinates VERY LITTLE (e.g., about 200 or 300 ml of urine only), then only very little of the Calcium excess would get out of the body, leaving the balance to stay inside the body.

When this pattern becomes a day-to-day practice, large quantities of Calcium would get added up inside the body on a daily basis, resulting in increasing the Calcium OVERLOAD too much.

Now, we have to know where all these Calcium excesses get stored within the body.

Our body is made of CELLS.

Inside the cell, there is a component called MITOCHONDRIA.

The function of the Mitochondria is to absorb CALCIUM (and other minerals) and store it in the cell*.

(* Mitochondria are also involved in controlling the concentration of calcium (Ca²⁺) ions within the cell. Visit: http://www. biology4kids.com/files/cell_mito.html)

If and when abundant calcium gets stored (often as calcium oxalate crystals) within EACH cell, each cell becomes ENLARGED in size, and becomes heavier in its WEIGHT.

When ALL the cells become inflated thus, the ENTIRE BODY turns BIG-SIZED and HEAVY – resulting in what we call OBESITY!

Thus, it is CALCIUM THAT MAKES THE BODY OBESE, and NOT fats or glycogen or any other form of sugar or calories that make a person that obese*.

(* That is why RICE that contains very little Calcium – about 4 mg or so per 180 gm, compared to cow’s milk that has 120 mg, cheese with about 800 mg, 300 gm pizza with 378 mg, 100 gm sardines in oil with its 400 mg, etc. does NOT make a person obese! (See:  CALCIUM CONTENT OFCOMMON FOODS:  https://www.iofbonehealth. org/osteoporosis-musculoskeletal-disorders/osteoporosis/prevention/calcium/calcium-content-common-foods)

*   *   *   *   *   *

At this, one may want to question me as why should, or how would OVER-RIPE fruits make a person obese?

I have traced and reported the phenomenon in this BLOG in several of my articles. Let me repeat it here to make the evaluation more sensible:

*   *   *   *   *   *  

When we eat vegetable matter, some 70 or 80% of the Calcium does NOT get absorbed by the intestine: that gets thrown out of the body along with the faecal matter. (Visit: https://nortonsafe.search.ask.com/web?q= bioavailability%20of%20calcium%20from %20vegetables&o=APN11910&geo=en_ US&prt=&ctype=&ver=&chn=&tpr=121 )

Why does this happen?

It is because, when the body has already absorbed its 500 mg of Calcium, the brain disallows further absorption of the same mineral.

Therefore, all the unwanted calcium present in the vegetable matter gets thrown out in an unutilised form.

If a person eats over-ripe fruit, or consumes EXCESSIVE FIBRES, then the faeces that is supposed to be in a solid and shapely state, turns SLIMY – often misquoted as “diarrhoea” by physicians.

The water that oozes from the glandular cells that make the lining of the colo-rectal region turns the solid faeces into a slimy state.

This enhances the solubility of the faeces-borne Calcium, which gets absorbed by the colon, gets transferred into the LYMPH fluid, and enters into the SOFT cells of various parts of the body. This will then make the person over-weight and obese.

In fact, eating biscuits, chocolates, and any over-ripe fruit, especially papaya, tends to contribute to Calcium excesses and related overweight.

Thus, it could have become clear by now that it is NOT fats and oils or over-consumption of CALORIES that makes a person overweight or obese, but it is mere CALCUM EXCESS that does so much of harm to humans by making them obese.

I have studied that nearly ALL the obesity-related MAJOR NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES, such as Type-2 Diabetes, Heart Blockages (Athero- Arteriosclerosis), Kidney stone, Hypothyroidism, Prostate enlargement, Breast lumps, Endometriosis, Polycystic Ovary, Fallopian blockages, Cancers, and even white discharges in women, etc. are the result of ACCUMULATION OF FAR TOO MUCH OF CALCIUM EXCESSES WITHIN THE BODY.

Such EXCESSIVE ACCUMULATIONS result essentially due to UNDER-URINATION, enhanced by over-consumption of very high fibre diet, Calcium-enriched eatables and Calcium supplements.

Exercises can burn off the calories, but cannot remove the calcium excesses. It is because of this the exercises do NOT have the ability to reverse the obesity build up in people.

Well friends,

I hope I have done some amount of justice to the most disturbing problem people have been facing worldwide.

I will be happy if the WHO recognises my findings soon, so that people worldwide can begin to live healthily at least form now on.

With best wishes and thanks for reading this.

STROKES AND HYPERTENSIONS TEND TO BE INTER-RELATED, AND THEY CAN BE CURED WITHOUT MEDICATIONS.

 STROKES AND HYPERTENSIONS TEND TO BE INTER-RELATED, AND THEY CAN BE CURED WITHOUT MEDICATIONS.

(© 30 October 2015: Dr.V.M.Palaniappan, Ph.D.)

Another article of interest, provided by European Society of Cardiology, has come out in yesterday’s Medical Xpress (29 October 2015). You may want to read it yourself through the following URL:

http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-10-three-quarters-patients-china-hypertension.html?utm_source=nwletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=ctgr-item&utm_campaign=daily-nwletter

A Research Scientist, Dr. TANG in China has let known through an International Conference on heart health and related matters, held in Beijing, that:

“Three-quarters of stroke patients in China have hypertension”

The above result was learnt by studying large number of patients of about 63 years of age.

Of the more than 20 thousand patients they studied, two-thirds were MALE.

Of this, some 75% of the people had HYPERTENSION (i.e, high blood pressure).

Besides other health problems, some 37% of that 20 thousand people also had DIABETES.

Dr. Tang mentions that the Chinese often eat HIGH SALT, and that could be the risk factor for the prevalence of HYPERTENSION in STROKE patients.

Dr. Tang also attributes the LACK OF EXERCISE as one of a few more risk factors for the above two problems.

In this connection, Professor Dayi Hu, the President of China Heart Foundation has also expressed that SALT CONSUMPTION (+ smoking) should be the causative factor.

Professor Dayi Hu is of the opinion that China desperately needs to ban smoking (in public places), besides REDUCING SALT in processed foods.

Professor Michel Komaida, Director of ESC programme in China feels that it is important to promote better control of RISK FACTORS and also adoption of a HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.

************

The whole world has been repeatedly blaming SALT as the most important culprit that has been raising the blood pressure of people world-wide.

I attended a Heart Health Conference of the same kind held in Osaka, Japan, in 2001.
(International Conference on Preventive Cardiology + 4^th International Heart Health Conference, Osaka, Japan. 26-30 May, 2001)

In that conference, numerous heart specialists presented elaborate papers on the ill-effects of SALT. I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO WAS OPPOSED TO IT – of course, naturally, no one bothered to care about my communication.

*******

Let us contemplate a little on this issue.

Why is it that ALL the Scientists worldwide are repeatedly emphasising the SALT is the most dangerous culprit, besides SUGAR, that are making people sick with many heart diseases?

Then, what make me alone to differ? Am I mad? Or, what has gone wrong me of not conforming with rest of the world?

Dear Friends,

Let me tell some of you who do not know me well:

I have a Ph.D., three Post-Doctoral research experiences in UK, USA, and the Philippines.

Further, I was an Academician in University of Malaya for 28 years, and I have guided some 56 research projects, published 167 papers (although only a few were peer-reviewed), given 60 TV Talk Shows on Health-care, posted 310 health-care articles in this BLOG.

I have researched for 40 years, and have founded completely a NEW, science and evidence-based alternative medicine. I have also successfully treated numerous health sufferers in Malaysia, Singapore and India during the past 40 years.

With all the above, I don’t think you want to suspect that I must have gone a crack.

If you believe that I should be in my senses, then, please believe that I AM RIGHT IN SAYING THAT SALT IS NOT THE CULPRIT for giving heart or blood-related diseases, (AND, SUGAR IS NOT THE CULPRIT FOR THE INITIATION OF TYPE-2 DIABETES).

Let me repeat: THE ABOVE STATEMENTS ARE ABSOLUTELY TRUE, and are based on intense clinical study as well, during the past 40 years!

Let me elaborate on the subject.

**********

Please evaluate the following simple logic:

If you add one teaspoon of salt in one glass of soup and drink, your blood is bound to receive a thick concentration of salt.

If you drink the same quantity (i.e., one teaspoon) of salt in one litre of soup, it will become OK and palatable, that you may want to say that it is just right, and that will not give you any hypertension.

If I add that one teaspoon of salt in TWO litres of soup, and make you drink all of it, you would say, it is “LOW SALT”, and that will NOT do any harm to you. YET, THIS EXCESSIVE WATER WOULD GIVE YOU, DOUBTLESSLY, LOW BLOOD PRESSURE.

The reality is:

In all the three cases, ONLY ONE TEASPOON OF SALT HAS GONE INTO YOUR BODY.

That being the case, how is it that, that is going to give you high blood pressure in one case, and that the second one is not going to give you the high B/P in another, and the third one, LOW B/P?

BEYOND ANY DOUBT, IT IS TRUE THAT:

1.   VERY LITTLE OR MUCH REDUCED WATER CONSUMPTION WOULD GIVE YOU HYPERTENSION.

2.   MEDIOCRE WATER INTAKE WOULD NOT GIVE ANY PROBLEM.

3.   EXCESSIVE WATER CONSUMPTION WOULD GIVE RISE TO LOW B/P, or HYPOtension.

·       Let us assume that YOU have been taking VERY LITTLE SALT, and have also been drinking VERY LITTLE WATER (e.g. just about 500 ml daily). In this case, you WILL definitely get HYPERTENSION.

Since you did not drink enough water, you will NOT be urinating well. The resulting UNDER-URINATION will leave behind in your body the same little salt – and that when repeated day after day, will accumulate to become PLENTY within the body, which would then give you the high B/P.

·       If you happen to take VERY LITTLE SALT, and drink PLENTY OF WATER (e.g, 3 L), then, because of the SALT INADEQUACY in the blood, you WILL DEFINITELY DEVELOP LOW B/P.

Even that little salt you took would have gone out of your body in the urine.

In both the above, please touch your urine with your finger tip while voiding, and taste it. (No harm will be done, scientifically-speaking.)

The urine you voided AFTER taking VERY LITTLE WATER, will taste VERY STRONGLY SALTY, whereas the urine sample AFTER drinking the 3 L water may not taste salt at all, if not very little.

**********

NOW,

What would be your observation? I mean, your conclusion?

Dear people, SALT IS NOT THE CULPRIT!

The culprit is NOT DRINKING ENOUGH WATER.

In other words, and to repeat:

Little water consumption would give hypertension – irrespective of the quantity of salt you take.

Plenty of water drinking would give you LOW pressure.

Mediocre water consumption, with NICE-TO-TASTE quantity of salt would keep your blood pressure perfectly at the mid-point!

*******

Wanting to test the above, when it was a HYPOTHESIS in my consideration, I consumed unbelievably LARGE QUANTITIES OF SALT.

At initial stages, I drank only about ONE LITRE of water daily.

A while later, the B/P went up.

Then, I continued to take the SAME quantity of salt (plenty of it!). But, in this season, I drank THREE LITRES of water daily. Then, I developed LOW B/P.

I went to a Western Medical Practitioner by name Dr. A, in his private clinic called “A… Dispensary”, located in Second Mile, Ipoh Road, Kuala Lumpur.

Can you guess what he advocated?

He charged me RM10.00 in 1963, and told me to try drinking BEER. I did what he said – until then I had never tasted beer at all! The result was, the B/P went much lower than what I had when I went to him for consultation!

Anyway, at a later date, upon recognising the relationship between water consumption and the dynamics of salt, I started drinking TWO Litres of water, and have been taking liberal quantities of SALT – keeping my taste bud as the GUARD to guide.

If a food tastes VERY NICE, then, THAT IS THE CORRECT QUANTITY OF SALT ONE SHOULD TAKE. Not to forget that this should be done while drinking about 2 or 2.5 L of water!

Fine.

My Blood Pressure until this day, it has been 129/73, and the Pulse, 67. (The highest Systolic recorded was 139, while the lowest was 115. The Pulse has been fluctuating between 65 and 75, or so.

I am still available for anyone to test upon me.

************

So, friends,

If two million Mathematics Professors are saying 2 + 2 = 3, if I alone - just only one individual, keep saying that 2 + 2 = 4, only I should be correct. In this kind of cases, the majority need not be correct!

Yet, we should certainly respect the Professors for their intense knowledge - people can wrong in one or two things, here and there. So, we should not under-estimate the Research Scientists who have expressed slightly misunderstood interpretations.

**********

What is your ‘verdict’ on the research results of Dr. TANG in China.

If your happen to be the Health-care Authority in China, what would you do?

Would you impose restrictions for salt reduction if the manufactured foods, or would you preach through mass media telling the people to drink more water, and urinate more?

Do you think, I should politely suggest to Professor Dayi Hu, the President of China Heart Foundation, not to recommend salt reduction, but to increase water consumption and urination?

I think, with due respect to Professor Michel Komaida, the so-called HEALTHY LIFESTYLE suggested by him should be modified to tell the people TO TAKE MORE SALT, AND ALSO TO DRINK MORE WATER AND to URINATE MORE AS WELL.

*********
In my opinion, China is one country which will definitely implement any suggestion, if they are sure that that suggestion is good for the people, and they will equally definitely SUCCEED, for they seem to be doing what they do with full sincerity.

Therefore, I have a request to Professor Dayi Hu,  Professor. Michel Komaida, and Dr.Tang:

Dear Professors,

Kindly put ALL my findings to test in your Country, probably by carrying out a large-scale coordinated research programme on all of my findings.

Upon tracing the truth, kindly recommend to the Ministry of Health in China for the implementation of what I have suggested in all of my BOOKS (what you have confirmed), so that the whole lot of people in China would lead an almost-totally a disease-free healthy life.

I will be very happy, if you wish, to coordinate in the research programme.

In the end, all I need from you will be just an official recognition that I am the PIONEERING FOUNDER of all those wonderful findings, and that they are all correct.

Such a recognition will enhance the spreading of my findings world-wide for all the people on earth to benefit.

(Kindly Note: Several of my postings in this BLOG, have references to all my books.

My website: www.ehealingsystem.com has my EXTENDED BIODATA, which has a complete listing of all my publications.) 

********

Now, to continue from what I have left earlier:

The heading for this article I have given reads as: 

STROKES AND HYPERTENSIONS TEND TO BE INTER-RELATED ALL THE TIME, AND THEY CAN BE EASILY CURED WITHOUT MEDICATIONS.

Can you guess why have changed the title this way?

It is because,

1. When people UNDER-URINATE, the SALT, however little they take with food, tends to get concentrated in the blood stream, thus giving rise to THICKENING OF THE BLOOD,clotting, etc. (for which the Doctors may prescribe Aspirin, Warfarin, Heparin, Lovenox, Cardipine, Nicardipine, and the like).  This way they try to keep the blood in a THIN state, and to help avoid clots, clogging up, strokes, heart attacks, etc.

Of course, the right approach should be to make the person drink MORE water - that is all to it, and for sure that will thin the blood, making blood thinner medications redundant.

When blood gets THICK, the total VOLUME of the blood in the entire body gets REDUCED. So, the brain, in order to maintain the blood flow, INCREASES THE PRESSURE, thus giving rise to HYPERTENSION.

When the patient is made to drink MORE water all the time, the blood becomes normalised (i.e., thin), and the B/P returns to its original normal. (We now know that too much of water consumption will result in LOW B/P.) 

2. When a person UNDER-URINATES, the CALCIUM EXCESSES from within the body that are supposed to get out as part of the urine, will NOT be able to get leached out.

That 'CONSERVES' the Calcium EXCESSES within the body, resulting in greater accumulations.

This CALICUM, CALCIFIES the WALL of the blood VESSELS, thus narrowing the LUMEN - the tube. This is called Atherosclerosis or Arteriosclerosis.

This too will INCREASE the blood's PRESSURE, further increasing the HYPERTENSION.

IF THE CALCIFICATION HAPPENS TO BLOCK a TINY blood vessel in the BRAIN, blood supply, and thereby the OXYGEN supply will get cut off. THAT will give rise to STROKES.

So, if a person UNDER-URINATES, naturally, that person will get BOTH the HYPERTENSION and STROKES.

If the under-urination is not too bad, and/or if the water consumption is not too little, then the patient may NOT develop blood vessel blockage in the brain, but would only get hypertension. This is precisely why differences occur among people.

********

At this, you may want to ask was why should I emphasise that people should take MORE SALT?

This has greater relevance.

SALT, otherwise called SODIUM CHLORIDE is an important ELECTROLYTE.

ADEQUATE salt (not less) is a must for the transmission of pulse or news to all other parts of the body through the NERVES.

If you do not take enough salt, your brain’s transmission or working capacity can go LOW – to a substandard working.

To be intelligent to FULL CAPACITY, you MUST take ENOUGH SALT, and NOT LESS!

***********

Friends, while writing all the above TRUTH, I have to also say that following, so that I will not get into any problem with the LAW:

DISCLAIMER; All the above information is meant only for research and thinking purposes.

If you want to take more salt, you must first get the approval of a Registered Medical Practitioner, who should be qualified in Western medicine, and not based on my research findings – NOT UNTIL THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION (W.H.O) RECOGNISES MY FINDINGS AS THE BEST HEALTH-CARE METHOD FOR THE PEOPLE WORLDWIDE.

I believe, the W.H.O. would soon recognise all my findings in this newly founded discipline of Ecological Healing System / EcoTherapy (EHS).

Naturally, you can expect the entire world population to live happily without any disease, from then on.

I know that is what God’s intention is, and therefore, it will happen very soon – in the course of this year!

Thanks for reading this, and with best wishes,
