I read a very interesting book written by two Canadian doctors running an obesity clinic .They observed that in obese people , the level of insulin in the blood serum is more than the permissible limit which according to them is ten units .The is the first symptom ,indicating the likelihood of attack of what is called life style diseases .
When the body is unable to utilize the insulin produced by pancreas ,the laboratory in our own body informs the system and an order is issued for increasing its production .The extra insulin helps to control the situation .This is what the medicine prescribed by the doctor does .This condition of extra insulin –hyperinsulinamia-causes the body to conserve fat and extra starch consumed by the body is also converted into fat because insulin is like a miser locking up money in the safe locker , even when it is badly required .The person may be exhausted but energy is not released .
Eicosanoids
These are hormones produced within the cell , unlike other hormones which are brought into the cell by the blood .Each hormone is made up of 20 molecules .Hence the term eicosanoid .The study of these chemicals ,innumerable in number , is yet to pick up momentum .We are too much occupied by stem cells .
According to our doctors , the condition called hyperinsulinamia causes harmful eicosanoids to be produced , resulting in diseases like heart attack , high blood pressure , infertility among women etc apart fromobesity.
The doctors will prescribe more medicines for these illnesses , all these drugs resulting In other diseases which are yet to be investigated .WHAT IS THE WAY OUT ?
Simple .Cut down starch .Our doctors suggest 55 gms .of starch which we may get from green vegetables like tomato ,lady’s finger,leafy vegetables etc.Eat anything including eggs ,meat ,ghee (clarified butter),fish (excellent food for all).They ridicule all talk of cholesterol .Hence the title of their book is PROTEIN POWER.When starch is cut down ,no necessity for insulin .Then ,its opposite number ,
glucagon , becomes active .It is a spend thrift and merrily burns away all the fat , so carefully preserved by insulin ! Obese people lose their weight .Unfortunately ,this book and this approach are totally ignored by the system .I was following this advise much before I happened to read the book which I casually found in the foot path. I paid only Rs. 45/ (long live pirates !)
At one stage , I was eating only eggs (we are veg) .Whenever I get my blood tested , sugar was around 200 units .
Why do we have no facility for checking insulin level ?According to our doctors ,today private drug manufactorers and doctors are minting money.If people do not buy drugs , business ,worth multibillion dollars, will be lost.Daily newspapers and magazines are writing every now and then about diabetes .Why do they keep silence about hyperinsulinamia ? If we check insulin level in the blood serum ,likelihood of diabetes can be located years before it actually manifests.
In some people , the capacity to produce insulin is unlimited .THEY MAY DIE OF HEART ATTACK OR HIGH B.P……never having a chance to know about their hyperinsulinamia !
Cholesterol
Our body needs continuos supply of cholesterol , of which eighty percent is produced by the liver.So all this propaganda against it is motivated by industry. Even research is manipulated . It is like any other food like starch or protein .If intake exeeds the calory requirement , you will become fat .
Soybean ,curry leaves and other food containing fibre help in reducing cholesterol, as also walking and other exercise .(All these are useful for diabetes too )You may use eggs , butter, coconut oil etc .However ,it is advisable to take cod liver oil also , to maintain the ratio between omega-6 and omega-3 oils .Ghee has medicinal properties which were recognized in Ayurvedic system .
Tension
The greatest cause , responsible for harmful eicosanoids is tension .A detached and philosophic attitude towards life will be helpful .Yoga too may help.
