Let’s not hide behind our little finger. Everywhere on the planet, overweight is essential as one of the major public health problems of our societies. But where has our food balance gone?
Overweight is there, it is more and more difficult to protect yourself from it and worse than before to get rid of it. And no need to hide your face: it is the increase in calorie consumption that causes this overweight. Let me explain.
A modified food balance
While medical and scientific knowledge is advancing, concrete solutions for the general public are not forthcoming. A void in which the miracle diet vendors rush in by diverting attention from the essential!
An example is worth all the demonstrations: in the space of 30 years, to United States, the alimentary consommation daily has gone from 2,000 to 2,600 calories.
During the same period, experts observed 40% increase the number of people with overweight. As for theobesity, she has downright triple over those three decades.
With serious health consequences: cardiovascular illnesses, breathing, difficulty moving, etc …
It was better before ?
What is this explosion due to? To too much food, of course, but also to new ways of making industrial products.
In the past, in the “good old days” of local food (the vegetables Venus of the garden, meat bought from the local butcher …), when we swallowed a portion we saw and knew what we were eating: the salad or the potatoes dug up nearby, the beef from the nearby pasture.
What we savored did not inspire not mistrust. However, today, nothing is less obvious. Worse, we discover foods in preparations that should absolutely not contain any.
More sugars and bad fats
look at the sugar : previously, its use was reserved for sweets, cakes … But, now, it is found in cereals, sauces, yogurts, drinks, pizzas, prepared meals, in short, almost everywhere.
If we add to this hidden consumption the 35 g, that is to say 7 squares of sugar that our teenagers absorb by drinking the slightest can of soda no light, the extent of the damage appears!
There is the sugar, but also the countless fats, the bizarre substances that the labels make us discover in all the products populating the supermarket shelves, the improbable additions, materials that we did not know a generation ago, but which have colonized even the smallest preserves …
Our parents were unaware, for example, of the existence ofPalm oil and never swallowed it; but how long did it take before we noticed that it colonized most of our industrial foods without our knowing it, seeing it or not being aware of its damage to our health?
But she, like others, is really not good for the weight. When we add to the hidden calorie intake the genetic factors, when one thinks of the repercussion ofyoyo effect of the multiple diets practiced during an existence, one carries out better the difficulty in losing weight by everyone over the years.
No “miracle” solution
Yes, the overweight is there, it is more and more difficult to protect yourself from it and worse than before getting rid of it. There is indeed a solution. But it is not miraculous in the sense that, as we used to understand it, it would act illico presto, in no time at all.
There is no no recipe, method, drug or magic drinks capable of losing ten kilos in ten days ad vitam aeternam without danger to health. Only, I insist, one balanced nutritional practice, a diet and carefully designed and balanced menus give reliable results.
I campaign for a daring regime with, sometimes, proposals that some would consider iconoclastic, too impregnated that they are bans erected at certain times by Caddy Ayatollahs.
