Obesity
Obesity is a metabolic disease that is caused by Insulin Resistance which is also the cause of the other diseases listed, and more.
Sarcopenia
Due to the lessened physical activity and increased longevity of industrialized populations, sarcopenia is emerging as a major health concern. Sarcopenia may progress to the extent that an older person may lose his or her ability to live independently. Furthermore, sarcopenia is an important independent predictor of disability in population-based studies, linked to poor balance, gait speed, falls, and fractures. Sarcopenia can be thought of as a muscular analog of osteoporosis, which is loss of bone, also caused by inactivity and counteracted by exercise. The combination of osteoporosis and sarcopenia results in the significant frailty often seen in the elderly population.
The Long Road To Diabetes
Insulin Resistance is caused by Inflammation. Inflammation is caused by consuming foods that are foreign to humans (basically any molecule not of human origin bio-identical to ones own will cause some degree of inflammation). Various foods will cause various degrees of inflammation, and the most inflammatory producing foods are those that are grown using chemicals such as hormones to make their muscles bigger or to speed up their growth, those that are injected with antibiotics to prevent the animals infection, those that are dyed, coated or stored to enhance appearance or shelf life. There are residues of these chemicals in the foods we eat, and we react to them by activating our immune system.
There are six stages from the time that one begins to develop insulin resistance, until they become insulin-dependent diabetics. The sooner that you find out the stage that you fit into, the better the chances that you may never develop diabetes and other related disorders.
You may download my presentation
I hope that you can join me while I give my public presentation, however, I will make my slides available here. If you do not already have Microsoft PowerPoint installed to your computer, you will at a minimum require a PowerPoint slide viewer. The PowerPoint viewer, along with instructions on how to install and use it, is available free-of-charge from Microsoft's website here.
