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.

CAUSES THAT MAKE A PERSON DIABETIC, AND A SIMPLE METHODTO PREVENT OR CURE IT

CAUSES THAT MAKE A PERSON DIABETIC, AND A SIMPLE METHOD TO PREVENT OR CURE IT.

(© 6 April 2016: Dr. V.M. Palaniappan, Ph.D.)

Based on the rate of increase in the prevalence of type-2 diabetics, it appears, at least in theory, that EVERY HUMAN BEING born on earth is going to be a diabetic, before the end of next century, if not this!

Can this happen?

Well, logically speaking, if the current lifestyle and related health-care, irrespective of their nature and validity, are going to be continued without any change, there is every possibility that all humans are going to be diabetic.

All those concerned have been telling the people to change their lifestyle.

By that, they want the people to do (1) exercise, (2) eat sugar-free diet, and (3) reduce the obesity.  

Here, the following appear to be the ironies:

(1)  A significant number of those who get type-2 diabetes, especially most of the health-conscious executives occupying very high positions in society, appear to be doing exercises.

 

Yet, they fall victims.

 

(2)  The above-group of people, almost for certain, take very little or no sugar, avoid too much of carbohydrates, and consume a high-protein diet. (Needless to highlight, they avoid salt as well.)

 

Yet, they fall victims.

 

(3)   Another requirement is “Reduce Obesity”

 

Besides burning out the calories (through exercises) that had gone into their body through the food eaten, they also REDUCE the total quantity of food eaten.

 

Yet, their obesity status would not decrease.

 

Even near-starvation diet would not lessen their body weight.

 

The health-care industry, besides telling them to reduce their body weight through exercises and reduced food consumption, for want of correct advice, leaves the unsolvable problem to the person concerned.

 

As a result, the person ends up being a diabetic patient!

 

Let us be genuine in finding an answer:

 

1.    World-wide, all health-care authorities have been directing people to do all the above. Nearly everybody is aware of the details. Yet, the rate has been alarmingly increasing year after year. WHY?

 

2.    Likewise, if a common man gets diabetes, he can be blamed for not practising proper lifestyle.

 

If an Endocrinologist is getting diabetes, I think, we should not suspect him of being careless. It should simply mean that what is being preached as good lifestyle, in fact, may NOT be so. In which case, the CONCEPT of good lifestyle should be RE-PHRASED!

 

Here is a simile that is quoted by nearly all the motivators:

 

An insect that had entered into the house by mistake, tries to fly away through a closed glass window.

 

It bangs on the glass repeatedly, in spite of being unable to fly through. After numerous attempts, it falls dead.

 

If only that insect changed a bit in its attempt, it could have happily flown away through the adjacent window that was open all this while.

 

I think, it may not be improper for us to use this for comparing our behaviour when it comes to the onset of diabetes.

 

People are desperately trying to practise what is being preached. Yet, failure results.

 At this, why cannot we think differently?

 Exercises do not seem to help in avoiding the disease.

So, we can drop off this item from our list of recommendations.

Drastic reduction or avoidance of sugar and carbohydrates do not seem to help either.

So, we need not reduce the above from our diet.

Obesity does not seem to get corrected by practising what is being told.

So, we need not follow what is being suggested for its correction.

In essence,

For a change,

We need not do exercises.

We need not reduce sugars and carbohydrates, and

We need not try to reduce the obesity through the suggested means. (We can go for alternative means).

If so, what can be the ALTERNATIVE suggestions for a possible PREVENTION OF TYPE 2 DIABETES? 

I have traced the correct causative factors (aetiology) for this disease, and also the correct curative procedure for a total cure of the disease, through my 41 years of study. 

Let us think a bit differently, to find if this works:

If the bee cannot find an escape through the open window, at its worst, it is going to die the same way as before. 

Likewise, if this alternative method fails to keep a person NON-OBESE and NON-DIABETIC, at its worst, identical increases in the number of diabetics would continue to occur.

Thus, there will be nothing more to lose! 

So, NO ONE should prevent the adoption of my method, at least because I have been claiming that it would yield and definite and positive result. 

Total prevention and complete cure of type-2 diabetes would certainly adversely affect the pharmaceutical industry to an alarming extent. 

All this while, the world had a need to find employment for the people, and also had to keep a thriving economy.  

However, it appears that the time has come now to compromise. We seem to have arrived at a situation where we have to give relatively more importance to human health as against employment and economy. 

Hence, the manufacturing and marketing of drugs may have to take only a second place, giving priority to the prevention of diseases. Lest, the world can collapse, which would again lead to the collapse of the very economy we have been trying to upkeep.

PREVENTION and CURE for TYPE-2 DIABETES:

(Source: Palaniappan, V.M., 2011. Diabetes: Causes, Cure, and Prevention. Neo Health Care (Malaysia) Publication.256 pp. ISBN 978-967-9988-15-4)

Here is the method, very simple and easy to practise (and the explanations and supporting evidences may be found towards the end of this directive):

1.    EVERYBODY should urinate at least 8 times daily (in 24 hours).

To do the above,  

·       All grown-up people, above 18 years of age, should DRINK 2 – 3 Litres of plain and clean WATER daily (not fruit juices, other beverages or drinks). (Children should consume lesser quantities according to their age and body size).

·       Nearly all the water consumed must be voided as urine. That means, the input versus output ratio should work out to 1.0, 1.1, or 1.2 the most.

·       To achieve 1:1 ratio, ADULTS should NOT lose the body water in the form of sweat. So, sweat-producing exercises, games, or any other sports activities should be AVOIDED. 

2.    ALL ADULTS should consume NORMAL sugar.  

·       At least 60% of Carbohydrates (rice, potato, etc.) that should include NORMAL sugar + about 20% fats, and about 20% proteins. (Intake of supplements of vitamins and minerals should be avoided, unless there is a medical urgency.) (There should not be any objection to taking white sugar where needed / preferred.) 

3.    Care should be exercised to ascertain the faeces defecated remains SHAPLEY and SOLID in consistency, and NOT slimy or watery and shapeless.

·       To achieve this, people should NOT consume chocolates, biscuits, peanuts, cakes, and over-ripe fruits – papaya in particular. Consumption of wheat products should also be kept to the minimum.  

4.    Calcium-rich eatables should be avoided, or kept to the minimum.

·       Calcium mineral supplement should not be taken.

·       Calcium-enriched eatables should be avoided.

·       Over-consumption of Calcium-rich diet such as dairy products (milk, cheese, etc.), eggs, sea food (fish, crabs, prawn, etc.) should be avoided. 

PRACTISING THE ABOVE FOUR ALONE WOULD PREVENT THE ONSET OF TYPE-2 DIABETES. 

TO ACHIEVE A CURE, ONE SHOULD ALSO GET HIS/HER BODY DECALCIFIED BY CONSUMING FOODS AND WATER OF ACID REACTION (e.g., rain water, or distilled water). 

(Elaborate details of the procedure may be read in my book Diabetes: Causes, Cure and Prevention, listed above.)

**********

          NOW, THE THEORY (AND LOGIC) BEHIND THE ABOVE DIRECTIVE: 

(A) THE SUGAR ASPECT: 

1.    In a healthy person who consumes NORMAL quantities of SUGAR, NORMAL quantities of INSULIN would secrete.

2.    If he/she takes more sugar, more insulin secretes.

3.    If plenty of sugar is consumed, plenty of insulin would secrete.

4.    If abundant sugar that is beyond the tolerance capacity of the body is consumed, in order to save the body from death, by way of AUTO-IMMUNE mechanism, the brain ‘kills’ the beta cells in the pancreas, and thereby prevents the utility of the excessive sugar that repeatedly goes into the body, and this forms TYPE – 1 DIABETES.

5.    If the healthy person consuming normal sugar, REDUCES his/her sugar intake, the insulin secretion also gets reduced accordingly.

6.    If the person stops taking sugar altogether, then, the beta cells in the pancreas also drastically cuts down its insulin secretion.

7.    If the absenteeism in sugar consumption is continued, then, the REDUCED insulin secretion becomes a PATTERN for the beta cells, and this gives rise to TYPE-2 DIABETES. 

(B)  THE CALCIUM PHENOMENON: 

1.      Sugarcane plants raised in CALCIUM-RICH soil produces plenty of sugar. Those grown in acid soil (that is devoid of calcium) becomes bland, and has extremely little sugar content in its sap.

2.      Trees that produced sour mangos begin to produce sweet mangos if and when dressed with calcium as fertilizer.

3.      Adults require about 450 or 500 mg of calcium as a daily requirement. However, a lot more than that enters into the body through enriched foods and supplementations.

4.      Excessive unusable calcium has to be thrown out of the body, lest those excesses accumulate (a) within soft cells to form breast lumps, prostate enlargements, tumours, etc., (b) within the lymph ducts and bone marrow giving rise to various forms of leukaemia, and (c) within the intercellular spaces in the brain, giving rise to tumours there.

5.      Elimination of the calcium excesses can occur only through liberal urination. Voiding very little urine would remove only a little of the excesses. I have found that people need to urinate about 8-9 times daily for a complete elimination of all the calcium excesses.

6.      Calcium excesses left within the body of the under-urinating (e.g., about thrice daily) people appear to be behaving similar to the sugars, and that tends to raise the serum sugar content levels when tested. However, since calcium itself is NOT a sugar, it does NOT induce the secretion of insulin in the pancreas. This sequence establishes the onset of type-2 diabetes. The chemical reactions of this phenomenon remain obscure.

7.      Regular removal (decalcification) of the calcium excesses through liberal urinations, along with the avoidance of calcium-rich eatables, appears to give a cure of the disease.

8.      Solid and shapely faeces carries in it all the unutilised, unabsorbed (undigested) calcium contained in the vegetable matter consumed. If and when a person defecates slimy faeces, the calcium gets absorbed by the lining glandular cells at the colon, and the person’s total calcium accumulation tends to get increased, thus favouring an increase in the serum sugar level, besides giving room for the development of colo-rectal cancer (AS WELL AS OBESITY) in the long run.

**********

RIGHT NOW, WHAT MAKES PEOPLE PRONE TO DEVELOP TYPE-2 DIABETES? 

The answer is: 

1.    They consume much LESS sugar than the normal requirement, resulting in reduced insulin production.

2.    All potential sufferers UNDER-URINATE (about thrice daily). That could be due to (a) habitual suppression of the urge for urination, (b) losing most of their body water to profuse sweating, (c) losing it to fanning and/or air-conditioning, or (d) drinking LITTLE water.

3.    They defecate SLIMY and SHAPELESS faeces. Certain consumables such as chocolates, cakes, biscuits, peanuts, over-ripe fruits – papaya in particular (+ all fruit juices) tend to make the faeces slimy, and thereby enhance the absorption of the locked-up calcium.

The above makes a person diabetic. 

***********

TO SUM UP, ALL THAT IS REQUIRED OF A NORMAL PERSON TO REMAIN HEALTHY ALL THE TIME IS TO DRINK ABOUT 2 L OF CLEAN WATER DAILY, URINATE NEARLY ALL OF IT THROUGH ABOUT 8 OR 9 URINATIONS, AND AVOID ACCUMULATING TOO MUCH OF CALCIUM THROUGH ANY POSSIBLE SOURCE.

*********

The above method is extremely easy to practise.

All that is required of all Government Agencies responsible for health is to disseminate this information through all available MASS MEDIA so that people would understand, follow, and remain healthy. 

The WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION (WHO) WILL HAVE TO DO THIS SO AS TO MAKE THE WORLD POPULATION REMAIN HEALTHY.

Dear Friends, 

I hope the above article is useful to you.

I went to India for 57 days, and returned only on 31 March. That is the reason why I did not contribute anything to you through our BLOG.
