#Obesity. A combination of a sedentary lifestyle, excessive consumption of hypercaloric foods, pathological behavior, and genetic predisposition are the main causes. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity. The severity of obesity as a disease has been increasing in recent decades, due to genetic and environmental factors, among others. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity. Since ancient times the main objective of medicine has been to understand and cure the diseases that ail humanity. Obesity is a disease that dates back to very remote eras. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity. Many people seriously neglect their diet, and this is a fact. Conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, cancer, and dyslipidemia, all of which are diseases directly associated with obesity. #Premilife
#Obesity. Many #people seriously neglect their #diet, and this is a fact. And despite warnings, #overeating continues to be a problem in much of the #population #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity. For our body food represents the fuel it needs to carry out all its daily task, wake up, work, to move, all these actions require food energy to do its functions, but any excess can have serious consequences!
#Obesity Do you know how and what causes obesity? Do you know what its effects are on your #body and why your attempts to overcome it fail? Or how common #obesity is in the world?#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity can cause physical and psychological problems that can ruin the quality of life of those with this disease. However, not everything is lost. Like all diseases, obesity is curable!#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Obesity is a fairly frequent #disease in our world. It’s not only about aesthetics or beauty, but it’s also about the most important thing a human being can have, which is #Health! #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The accumulation of fat in the liver leads to the appearance of nonalcoholic #FattySteatosis, which causes inflammation and scarring of the liver, #LiverFailure and can also cause #Cancer. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Sugars like #fructose can accumulate in the #liver, causing it to turn them into fat. Though part of the fat is transformed into waste or moved to another place, part of it remains in the liver. #Premilife
#SugarAddiction- Eating too much #sugar can also affect the #liver. A great benefit of curing #SugarAddiction is that it reduces the risk of #FattyLiver disease #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Gout is a disease that affects the #metabolism of #UricAcid and causes #arthritis and acute #pain in smaller #joints, such as those in the #feet. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
A great benefit of curing #SugarAddiction is that it reduces your risk of gout. A study carried out on women found that consuming a can of sugary drinks a day can increase the risk of suffering gout by 75% #Premilife
One study studied the connection between sugar intake and insulin levels in women and found that those who drank one or more servings a day of sugary soft drinks were twice as likely to develop type 2 diabetes#Premilife
#SugarAddiction-Many people know that sugar intake is related to diabetes, but they don’t know why. Evidence suggests that sugar intake that interferes with insulin levels causes diabetes. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – A great benefit of curing sugar addiction is that it reduces your chances of suffering from #DiabetesMellitus. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – Many experts claim that more than half of the cancers that are diagnosed can be completely prevented. If you eliminate refined sugars from your daily meal plan. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Catenin is a protein involved in the formation and growth rate of cancer cells, only depends on blood sugar levels. More sugar leads to more catenin and accelerated development of cancer. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
When any of those #cancer cells protected by lactate reaches the blood or #LymphaticSystem, it will travel through them to another organ where the tumor will form a new colony and it will do a #metastasis. #Premilife
With the blocked #ImmuneSystem, the neighboring murdered healthy cells, its tendency to reproduce the cancer cell turned immortal and we have an exponential cancerous cell development #Premilife
Lactate surrounds #cancer cells with an acidic shield that acts as a barrier against the cells of the ImmuneSystem, especially the NK cells powerful lymphocytes that dedicate to neutralize cancer cells #Premilife
Discarded lactic acid elevates the PH that surrounds the tumor dissolves the healthy #CellsMembranes and acts as an #apoptosis activator of healthy cells which allows the #tumor to have more room to grow. #Premilife
#SugarAddiction – Oxygen is a potent growth inhibitor, therefore, functioning and obtaining oxygen-free energy by means of glucose allows cancer cells to reproduce rapidly. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – Huge amounts of glucose are required for the #cancer cell to get the same amount of energy through glycolysis, as with the common respiratory process in the mitochondria. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – Apoptosis is also known as programmed cell death, regulates the process by which a cell commits suicide. A cancerous cell is obviously not interested in this function #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction -The mitochondria control other processes, among which apoptosis is found, also known as programmed cell death, which regulates the process by which a cell commits suicide #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction -It is known that #cancerous #tumors have a higher uptake and use of #sugars. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction -Some groups have questioned the relationship between exogenous #hormonal factors, such as the use of #OralContraceptives and #Coloncarcinoma #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
McMichael and Potter suggested that the #hormonal changes in pregnancy protect women from #ColorectalCancer, finding a lower incidence in those women who have had their first #pregnancy at younger ages. #Premilife
McMichael and Potter suggested that the hormonal changes in pregnancy protect women from #ColorectalCancer, finding a lower incidence in women that have had multiple deliveries. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The relationship between #cancer and hormonal environment postulated in 1969 by Fraumeni, described that in nuns there a higher incidence of #BreastCarcinoma, #EndometriumCarcinoma and #ColorectalCarcinoma. #Premilife
A change in the balance between the two main types of female #hormones #estrogen and #progesterone towards higher production of estrogen increases the risk of endometrial cancer. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – Before #menopause occurs, the #ovaries are the main source of the two main types of female #hormones: #estrogen and #progesterone. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – Woman’s #hormone balance also plays a part in the development of most #EndometrialCancers. Many of the risk factors for endometrial cancer affect #estrogen levels.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – An important correlation between mortality from breast cancer and sugar consumption was found in older women. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – The #SexHormones, #estrogens, and #progesterone – long-term exposure or high concentrations of these hormones have been linked to an increased risk of #BreastCancer.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The #SexHormones, #estrogens, and #progesterone fulfill essential #physiological roles in both women and men, they have also been associated with an increased risk of certain #cancers. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – Excessive sugar intake leads to obesity that can cause many changes in your hormone levels, such as sex hormones, estrogens, and progesterone. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
The development of an #insulin inhibitor is investigated for use in #cancer treatment protocols. It was observed that experimental #MammaryTumors regress in the absence of #insulin. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
About 80% of all #cancers #mutate and mimic the effect of #insulin. This may be the reason that #cancer and #diabetes rates seem to increase at the same rate. #Premilife #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – Researchers at the Harvard Medical School #Cancer Center found that 80% of all cancers #mutate and mimic the effect of #insulin.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction-#Cancer #cells make use of the #hormone #insulin to grow so the more #sugar you get the more insulin you have and the more you grow, the more cancer spreads and multiplies. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Cancer – Increase in insulin production that has been linked in some cases to the development of #PancreaticCancer. Pancreas cancerous cells love sugar. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
When you consume #sugars, your body produces #insulin to control your #blood sugar levels. But overloading the body with sugar can cause problems with the regulation of #PancreaticInsulin. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – The relationship between #sugar and #cancer are produced by the relationship between sugar and #catenin #protein. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – The relationship between sugar and cancer are produced by interactions such as the role of sugar providing energy to the cancer cell. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – The relationship between #sugar and #cancer are produced by interactions such as sugar and #insulin, sugar and hormonal changes, #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – The studies carried out on this are not yet complete or conclusive, but some research suggests that excess sugar contributes to an increased risk of certain #cancers. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – Do you know which things love sweets? Cancer cells! #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – A great benefit that you will get by curing your sugar addiction is that it reduces the risk of certain cancers #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – When the #body and #brain have continuous sugar peaks in the #blood due to a sugar diet, this changes your brain chemistry and can lead to serious depression and anxiety. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – When the #body and #brain have continuous #sugar peaks in the #blood due to a sugar diet, the body becomes insensitive to #insulin and insulin becomes less effective. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – The #brain needs a constant chemical supply in a delicate balance, including glucose and insulin. When sugars enter the body, insulin opens the cells for sugars to enter. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Older adults who drank more than four servings of #SoftDrinks a day were 30% more likely to be diagnosed with depression than those who drank unsweetened water, coffee, or tea #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – A great benefit of curing #SugarAddiction is that you are less likely to suffer from #depression # Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – #Neurotrophic factors levels derived from the #brain are particularly low in people with the most serious dementia or Alzheimer cases. # Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – #Neurotrophic factors levels derived from the #brain are particularly low in people with impaired #glucose #metabolism or in #prediabetic people. # Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
A high-sugar diet reduces the production of certain chemicals known as brain-derived neurotrophic factors. These substances help the brain to form new memories and to remember the past# Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
Worldwide, there are about 50 million people with #Alzheimer’s and it is projected to increase to more than 125 million by 2050. # Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction A great benefit you’ll get from curing your #SugarAddiction is that it reduces your chances of suffering #Alzheimer’s and #dementia. # Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction A high sugar intake is associated with the metabolic syndrome, a group of diseases associated not only with reduced cognitive function but also changes in brain structure. # Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – Eating too much sugar can cause your brain to think slower and you would have more difficulty remembering things. # Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – A great benefit of curing sugar addiction is that it sharpens your mind. Eating too much sugar can cause your brain to slow down and reduce the proteins needed for memory and responsiveness. # Premilife
The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition in the UK made a statement warning adults to reduce their #sugar intake to less than 30g of sugar per day. A single can of Coca-Cola, which contains 35g of sugar.# Premilife
#SugarAddiction – #Women who drank more than two servings of #sugar-sweetened beverages per day had a 40% increase in the risk of having a #HeartAttack or dying from serious #HeartDisease.# Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – One study found that consuming 200ml of #SoftDrinks each day may increase the risk of #HeartFailure by 23%. # Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – A recent study showed that those with sugar-based #diets had a clear increase in having a #HeartAttack. The risk increased in relation to the amount of #sugar consumed. # Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – A great benefit of curing sugar addiction is that it decreases the risk of #HeartAttacks# Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction – The bad #cholesterol LDL and the #triglycerides will clog your #arteries and #BloodVessels increasing the effort that your #heart has to do in order to function properly. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction-#HDL, which is the good #cholesterol, can be decreased by adding a large amount of sugar to the diet. At the same time, #LDL rises, which is bad cholesterol. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
In the past it was believed that all #cholesterol was bad. Since then, we have learned that there are two different types of cholesterol, and one of them is certainly bad, but the other is very good.#Premilife
#SugarAddiction-A great benefit of curing sugar addiction is that it reduces your bad #cholesterol levels. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction-New research is showing that extra sugars in your #diet can increase #BloodPressure, regardless of #WeightGain. Yes, the weight gain is there, but this adds to it. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction-Obesity is one of the main risk factors for high blood pressure. This makes your heart and your circulatory system make an excessive effort and the need to work harder. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction-A benefit of curing sugar addiction is lower blood pressure #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction-Food labels contain information on the number of calories and the amount of sugar they have. Reading them will help you make healthy choices when grocery shopping.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction-Remember that each gram of sugar gives you 4 kcal and to know the amount we consume, we will have to multiply each gram of free sugar by 4 in the food we eat throughout the day.#Premilife
#SugarAddiction- WHO-Adults and children who consume less than 5% of daily calories of “free sugars”, about 25 grams of sugar per day or six teaspoons, would have additional health benefits.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction- WHO-Adults and children who consume less than 10% of daily calories of “free sugars” directly reduces the risk of suffering from associated diseases, such as diabetes or heart disease.#Premilife
#SugarAddiction- World Health Organization-Scientific evidence shows that adults and children who consume less than 10% of daily calories in the form of “free sugars” are more likely to have a normal weight #Premilife
#SugarAddiction-The calories that must be consumed daily vary from person to person and depend on many factors such as age, gender, physical activity, and basal metabolism of each person.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction-The more you drink sugar-sweetened beverages, the higher your sugar intake, which can put you at risk of gaining weight and becoming obese.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction-You may have thought that some drinks: fruit, sports energy and soft drinks, sweetened tea, are perfectly healthy but sugar-sweetened beverages are the main source of sugar in most countries.#Premilife Dr
#SugarAddiction-Most of the free sugar we consume is found in processed and manufactured products such as cakes, cookies, donuts, thick syrups such as those added to canned fruits, soft drinks, and more. #Premilife
#SugarAddiction- Too much #sugar can take its toll. The most obvious effect is #WeightGain. A large amount of energy without enough activity causes your body to store the rest as fat.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#SugarAddiction-You can consume a little without doing anything good or bad to the body, but too much #sugar can take its toll. The most obvious effect is #WeightGain. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Sugar Addiction-The survival instinct of our ancestors was focused on high-calorie #foods for #energy. #Fats and #sugars are ideal for this, that’s why we all love eating them.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Sugar Addiction-Too much sugar also makes your insulin levels rise, which regulates the internal sugar balance. This causes your metabolism to slow. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Sugar Addiction-Added sugar only provides empty calories without any real nutritional value, in addition to a flavor and reaction that makes our brain always crave more. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Sugar Addiction-Free sugars are present everywhere. Refined foods with added sugars provide calories, but they don’t have vitamins, minerals, or fiber.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Sugar Addiction- Many people consume sugar as a regular part of their diet in all countries. You may be one of those people. If you are, you should consider reducing your consumption. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Sugar Addiction- The #brain transformations in sugar addiction is identical to brain transformations observed in #drug #addicts and #alcohol addicts. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Sugar Addiction is responsible for the failure of most #diets. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Sugar Addiction-Tolerance. This cycle of sugar cravings worsens as the addiction progresses and with it, obesity and its associated diseases worsen.#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Sugar Addiction-Tolerance. With time, the #cravings become stronger and force you to increase the amount of #food and soft drinks you consume to achieve the sensation of pleasure. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Sugar Addiction. Tolerance means you now need more stimulus to achieve the same feeling of pleasure This translates into a behavior where you want more and more of what causes the addiction, whether it’s sugar or alcohol
#Sugar Addiction. As the dopamine released by sugar stimulation binds to its receptor called Dopamine 2 it causes reactions that bombard you with sensations of pleasure and satisfaction#Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
In the brain is a reward center, when you eat processed foods or drinks that are delicious because they are full of added sugar that sugar reaches the brain’s reward center and stimulates the cells to release dopamine.
#Sugar Addiction. The neurotransmitter dopamine plays a critical factor in all types of addiction, whether it be drugs, alcohol, or even food addiction due to sugar. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
#Sugar Addiction. Sugar is a new drug, and research has shown that sugar can be as addictive as cocaine. #Premilife #DrRicardoKotliroff
