Watch What You Eat

(Newswire.net — April 29, 2018) Cheyenne, Wyoming — Obesity is rampant across the globe but there are some regions are more prone to this problem due to genetics and dramatic changes in cultural habits. When looking at the 20 most obese countries, one will note that the top 10 are islands in the Pacific and Middle Eastern countries accounting for 9 spots on the list. The reason is these island nations import almost all of their food supplies and food is therefore expensive, but fast-food chains offer a cheap and convenient alternative. 

“As aforementioned, topping the list are small Pacific Island nations such as Samoa, Tonga and Kiribati, to name a few,” discloses WorldAtlas.com. “Approximately four of every five citizens of these countries are obese or overweight. They’re closely followed by a string of Middle Eastern nations – Kuwait, Qatar, Libya, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. 75 percent of these countries’ population is overweight and well over a third is considered obese. With scorching hot temperatures of up to 40 degree Celsius, regular ‘natural’ exercise such as walking is not common with an increasing embrace for western fast food restaurants in recent years. Traditionally, people often share large community platters, making it difficult to keep track of portion size.” 

This compulsion to consume an unnatural diet of sugar, processed ingredients and unhealthy fats coupled with a lack of exercise is the most common formula for obesity worldwide. And America isn’t a great deal better, while by percentage the United States rank only 12^th but by volume it certainly surpasses most of the higher ranking nations on the list. 

“Updated August 31, 2017: According to the most recent data, adult obesity rates now exceed 35 percent in five states, 30 percent in 25 states, and 25 percent in 46 states,” discloses The State of Obesity, an advocacy group campaigning under the slogan Better Policies for a Healthier America. “West Virginia has the highest adult obesity rate at 37.7 percent and Colorado has the lowest at 22.3 percent. The adult obesity rate decreased in Kansas between 2015 and 2016, increased in Colorado, Minnesota, Washington, and West Virginia, and remained stable in the rest of states.” 

So what is the solution? Well, it’s actually quite obvious. Eat less junk and use more energy. A healthy diet is more focused on eating right so the first step ought to be a total overhaul of one’s eating habits. Dietary changes are a must and the best route science has found for sustained result is the ketogenic diet plan. 

“Different methods for reducing weight using reduced calorie and fat intake combined with exercise have failed to show sustained long-term effects,” explains the U.S. National Library of Medicine research paper entitled Long-term effects of a ketogenic diet in obese patients. “Recent studies from various laboratories, including our own, have shown that a high fat diet rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (ketogenic diet) is quite effective in reducing body weight and the risk factors for various chronic diseases. The present study shows the beneficial effects of a long-term ketogenic diet.” 

The process at work behind the keto diet is known as ketosis, which involves the breakdown of fat cells to crate ketones which is essentially the body’s natural back up fuel system. Initially, the transition from one’s current bad eating habits to the limiting ketogenic dietary plan may be daunting but it’s very doable and there are even exogenous ketones such as the HealthyWiser™ KetoFast™ Supplement Powder to help ease the body into the full swing of things. The KetoFast™ is particularly helpful in enhancing nutrient absorption, supporting brain functions as well as stimulating and maintaining a healthy state of ketosis.
