Obesity Rarely Exist In Animal Lives in Nature

Have you ever noticed that obesity does not exist in nature?
All animals are perfect for their role and purpose in this world.
Can you imagine an overweight gazelle trying to outrun a lion?
I don’t think so. Might as well serve the gazelle to the lion on a silver platter.
Interestingly though is that when we domesticate animals such as cats and dogs, they begin to exhibit many of the same problems and diseases that we (humans) do. Therefore, there must be something in our lifestyle and diet that is not favourable to the health of animals, let alone ourselves.
Were animals intended to eat processed foods? I don’t think so. I can’t tell you how many cats and dogs that I’ve seen that are clinically obese! It’s insane!
So what’s going on with our diets that is keeping us (and our animals) fat?
One of the major culprits is an overly acidic diet. This was briefly alluded to in Part I of your “Energy Secrets Report” a few weeks back.

However, let us investigate this acid story a little more…
*********************************************************************************************
New research in the journal Medical Hypotheses has shown that metabolic acidosis is known to promote increased secretion of cortisol and aldosterone (two hormones of the adrenal glands). Cortisol is the body’s stress hormone, while aldosterone plays a pivotal role in water retention and blood pressure.
Recent evidence also suggests that the metabolic acidosis associated with a protein-rich diet low in organic potassium salts (ie. fruits and vegetables) can likewise evoke a modest increase in cortisol production.
Since cortisol promotes development of visceral obesity, and has a direct negative impact on insulin function throughout the body, even a modest sustained up-regulation of cortisol production may have the potential to increase risk for insulin resistance syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.
This thesis appears to be consistent with previous reports correlating high potassium (and thus high alkaline) consumption, or a high intake of fruits and vegetables, with reduced risk for diabetes, obesity, and heart disease.
Pretty neat stuff, eh? It’s amazing how cortisol and other hormones are dramatically altered when the body is acidic.
