There's more fat around the bellies of American men
women and children now, then there was 20 years
back.
What's up with that?
The truth is, there are a multitude of theories
and reasons which address our battle with the belly.
My aim is to focus on one, probable cause; and then
share one, dynamic solution.
Let's begin with a review of Anatomy 101. The
colon. The colon is also known as the large
intestine. It is a long, muscular tube, about six
feet in length that orchestrates the digestive
process. As you chew your food, your body releases
enzymes that help with digestion. When your food
reaches the stomach, the process continues and, the
body's digestive juices break it down even more.
After about an hour or so of this, the stomach
deposits your food into the small intestine.
After several hours of being in the small
intestine, the undigested waste, is transported into
the last section of the colon where it is eventually
eliminated.
Most adolescents have little problems eliminating
waste from the colon. This is because there is very
little undigested waste sticking along the lining of
the colon walls. However, the typical American diet
is loaded in fats and enormous amounts of protein
which have a propensity to deposit left behind,
waste in the colon. As such, it's during your
post-adolescent years that the interior of the colon
walls gradually become smaller and smaller.
Imagine a pipe accumulating years of interior
rust. This causes a narrowing of its original
diameter. Well, this is pretty much what happens to
your colon over time. That is why there may be more
force required to eliminate fecal matter.
Elimination is supposed to require little effort.
However, because your colon's walls are lined with
debris, you strain. "Straining" is indicative of a
blocked colon.
A blocked colon leaves food behind to rot in the
digestive tract: Therefore, the final process of
digestion is not completed. The debris then rots and
candida albicans, bacteria and toxins take
residence. Food which is undigested in the colon
contributes to colon cancer. John Wayne, the world
famous western actor, died from complications of
colon cancer. It is said that he had more than 40
pounds of undigested food in his colon.
Mucoid plaque consists of the layers of mucous
and rotting food which compact themselves year after
year along the entire length of the digestive tract
(Anderson). But here's the thing, this plaque forms
in the intestine and continues to produce mucous as
a normal response to the undigested food. Food is
not supposed to just sit there and rot. Our body is
designed to store three meals at any given time
(Jensen), but most Americans are storing six to
twelve! Mucous is not powerful enough to move the
toxic, enzyme-free sludge left behind from fake,
chemically-laced and high-processed foods such as,
"wieners," "supreme burritos," and double orders of
chili fries.
However, as a natural defense mechanism, your
body continues to produce more and more mucous. This
causes the colon to grow in diameter and create the
appearance of belly fat. So, if you are doing dozens
of crunches and other "ab work" and can't seem to
lose the belly fat, it's probable that you have
undigested food rotting in your colon.
In his book, Cleanse and Purify, Dr.
Richard Anderson documents what another medical
doctor (who requested anonymity) shared at a
seminar:
"I have spent twelve years working in the
field of post-mortem diagnosis. I have seen many
thousands of dissected cadavers. What Rich is
telling you is the absolute truth. Everybody has it
in there. We have a way of attaching a hose to the
upper intestines and with the aid of powerful
chemicals, we literally blow the stuff right out of
the intestines. I have seen the heavy 'beer belly'
and so called fat people lose all that bulk in five
minutes. It wasn't fat. It was the mucoid layer that
Rich was talking about. And, in that filthy
substance we see all sorts of worms, bacteria,
fungi, and many unidentifiable things. It is almost
unbelievable that people can live with that filth in
them. All these people were dead of course, and it
wasn't hard to see why..." (Anderson p2-46)
Unbelievable!
A VIABLE SOLUTION FOR A PROBABLE CAUSE
Colon hydrotherapy- is a powerful enema performed
by a licensed professional. It has an immediate
affect and flushes out old, putrefied food and
debris from the colon. Many doctors have stated that
rotten food can be removed with this hydro-cleanse.
Maintenance:
Reduce or completely eliminate white dressings,
ice cream, processed sugar, candy and creamy soups.
Increase the fiber in your diet. Make broccoli,
beans, fruits and nuts the norm.
And finally, exercise and drink plenty of clean,
fresh water throughout the day.
It won't be long before you begin saying:
"What happened to my belly fat?
Oh, I had enough of that!"
