(Newswire.net — June 18, 2020) Orlando, FL — Food choices have long been strongly linked with weight gain. Experts have long been strongly warning against intake of unhealthy foods, which are linked with the onset of various diseases. 

A controlled clinical trial was presented in the Cell Metabolism journal. In this first-of-its-kind research, scientists have found that consumption of ultra-processed foods results in weight gain in as brief as 2 weeks. 

It is worth mentioning that a number of studies have previously linked intake of processed foods with intestinal inflammation as well as obesity.

According to Kevin D. Hall, previous studies have found correlations between ultra-processed food consumption and obesity. Hall is from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases in Bethesda, MD, which is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), explained to Medical News Today.

It is further worth realizing that in previous studies, researchers have reported links in between processed foods and undesirable health outcomes. These particularly include the increased risk of cancer, autoimmune conditions, obesity, and even death. 

In the United States, ultra-processed foods make up a staggering  57.9 percent of energy intake. Ultra-processed food and beverages include packaged snacks, soft drinks, frozen meals, meat nuggets, and foods loaded with additives.

As the dangerous effects of toxins on health is are affecting more and more people, experts strongly stress doing some measures to reduce exposure. 

It is important to understand that today, obesity-triggering substances are not just found in foods but also other sources like air and household products. 

These industrial compounds, chemicals and pollutants have been linked with the increased risk not just of obesity but also diabetes. As a matter of fact, an increasing amount of evidence suggest toxins can trigger dysregulation of the immune system and inflammation, both of which are associated with obesity and diabetes. 

Experts particularly stress that these toxins may promote oxidative stress and inflammation as well as disrupt mitochondrial function and impair one’s ability to regulate appetite. 

As these obesity-triggering toxins can be found in food, it is strongly recommended to make some dietary changes. Experts also stress the importance of detoxifying the body from these toxins. It is worth realizing that buildup of these toxins doesn’t just trigger obesity, but also other diseases.

The use of a natural remedy called activated charcoal could be useful for body cleansing. Activated charcoal has long been used for body detoxification as well as in cases of food poisoning and digestive health issues. 

It has been found to possess a highly porous surface that traps and eliminates toxins from the body. Formulas like Purest Vantage Activated Charcoal may be an excellent choice (amazon.com/Pure-Organic-Activated-Charcoal-Capsules/dp/B01M0322EC).
