Yes, it's that time of the year again – time for making and breaking yet another resolution. And if you're like most, going on a diet or losing weight is the number one resolution made and broken by Americans every year. Well, you can stop feeling guilty right now! Read on to learn why your diet and weight loss challenges may not be entirely your fault.
The environment is not only making us sick but it may also even interfere with attempts to lose weight. According to Dr. Paula Baillie-Hamilton, who published her work in the 2002 Journal of Alternative and Complimentary Medicine, between the years of 1930 and 2000, the rise in the use of synthetic chemicals matched the rise in the number of overweight and obese adults in the U.S. The liver plays a major role in weight loss and in metabolism functions. When the liver is overloaded (toxic), weight loss efforts may be blocked.
"A liver overloaded with pollutants and toxins cannot efficiently burn body fat, says Ann Louise Gittleman, PhD, CNS. A tired, toxic liver is the number one weight-loss stumbling block."
"One new chemical enters industrial use every 20 seconds, says Dr. Baillie-Hamilton, "only to join many hundreds of thousands of synthetic chemicals already in use. As a result, the average person living in the developed world is now contaminated with at least 500 industrial toxins, few of which have been properly tested for harmful effects."
We live in a toxic world and carry many toxins within us. Every day, we’re exposed to numerous chemicals that can wreak havoc on our health. These chemicals aren’t only found in the air we breathe, but also in the food we eat, water we drink, homes we live in and in the personal and cosmetic products we use. A 2004 study by the Environmental Working Group identified 287 industrial chemicals in babies' umbilical-cord blood, including 180 known to cause cancer and 217 that are toxic to the brain and nervous system. All of us are at risk.
Traditionally, overweight and obesity are caused by a number of factors from super-sized portions to sedentary lifestyles. Nowadays, experts believe that one of the underlying reasons for being overweight is an overload of environmental toxins throughout our body. We’re all exposed to various amounts of toxins and can't help being exposed. The fewer toxins the body stores, the more weight that probably can be lost. So, if diet and weight loss are on your resolutions list once again, then you owe it to yourself to include Cell Defender as an important part of your weight loss program.
