What Is Fat and Why Do We Accumulate It?
What is Fat?
Fat enables the body to digest certain vitamins (A, D, E, K), and is the source of essential fatty acids.
A small amount of fat is naturally stored around the organs for shock absorption. Organ fat beyond the norm, however, is the most dangerous type as it restricts healthy vital functions leading to deterioration and death. Strangely this phenomenon is found not just among overweight and obese people, but slender individuals as well.
Fat is also important in regulating body temperature, cell function, hormone production (fat to cholesterol to hormones), and energy storage (endurance).
One of the main uses of fat by the body today is for the storing of industrial toxins (most of which are androgen suppressing/estrogen mimickers) and the toxins produced by microorganisms that grow in proportion to overall body toxicity.
Bad Fats
These are artificial fats found in countless processed foods like real and artificial dairy products, margarines, oils, grain/corn/potato products, and processed meats. In short, most packaged, canned, and frozen meals and snacks one finds at a conventional grocery store.
To take control of what goes into your system you can either spend hours analyzing food labels, or you can buy fresh and prepare it to your liking.
Fat from Fat or Fat from Carbs?
Carbohydrates burn fast, but if you eat too many of them on too many occasions, there is an overflow of calories that the body doesn’t need at the moment so it turns them into fat for storage.
Consuming too many calories from natural fats only causes fat accumulations if you consistently overeat and/or if you eat excessive amounts of dairy, oils, and fatty meats. In such cases results are the same as with carbs. You gain weight in form of stored fat. Exceptions are people who are extremely physically active and burn very high amounts of calories on a regular basis.
Vicious Cycle
Industrial toxins damage the body (including arteries) and depress androgen levels vital to healthy functioning and metabolism, causing estrogen dominance which presently affects most people in the industrialized world.
The combination of stored toxins, depressed androgens and proportionately high estrogen levels cause our bodies to make fat.
Daily stress and junk food raise bad cholesterol levels (which then clog the damaged arteries) and cause the body to make more fat.
The more estrogen mimicking and androgen depressing toxins, fat deposits and estrogens are stored in the body, the more aromatization of testosterone to estrogen takes place. This process continues as we get sick, wither, and die.
Medications worsen the problem because they too depress the highly sensitive androgens, which is why so many medication consumers also struggle to maintain their weight, or are overweight/obese.
Good Health!
