Back to Nature is good..
Nature has answers to everything we need to know. What we, ordinary persons, cannot understand is the clues the Mother nature provides. See for instance, even before we down with fever we get body aches and feel little bit uncomfort. If we take precautionary steps we may avoid the fever.
Some days ago, I have seen an advertisement about whole protein powder diet. This powder is meant to reduce the body weight thereby obesity. The powder contains high quantity of vitamins, proteins and some minerals. This powder is to be taken twice a day at specified quantity with milk, skipping the breakfast and lunch. In 30 days we can experience the results.
The problem of obesity is, as I understand, not due to overeating, but of improper metabolism. Key to health is balance in eating. All of the nature, life is based on positive and negative polarities. Hot and cold, dry and wet, male and female etc., can be easily perceived polarities. Polarities like anabolic and catabolic reactions are vital to our survival.
Nature provides balance in all foods. If all the polarities are in balance we can have good health, and if they are imbalanced we get disease. If either of positive or negative polarity overpowers the other, the result is the unhealthy condition.
Nature creates a balance of vitamins proteins and mineral in vast and diverse food products. Taking commercially manufactured vitamins supplements not only disturb the delicate balance in the metabolism, but also creates intoxicants in the body and cause disease. It may in short term reduce the obesity but in later days create more complications.
My opinion is instead of going for those diet powders, we have to use more nature products, like fruits and whole wheat, rice etc.. Reducing the sugar, coffee, alcohol and salt intake is always good to the body. This way we can maintain body polarities and be healthy.
Never go for advertised diets. Eating in moderation is always preferred.
