The Skinny on the Skinny Train
During the interview, Tiffany discussed all the factors contributing to the obesity epidemic. She warned that GMOs, genetically modified organisms, are wrecking chaos on the digestive system, and bring about leaky digestive tract disorder. This occurs due to the fact that the body does not understand the best ways to process the genetically-altered food. Another health menace discovered in processed meals is the ubiquitous prevalence of high fructose corn syrup.
In fact, the high rate of obesity in America, often considered an epidemic, is due to the changes in the food industry. For instance, in the 1800s, Americans ate about 4 pounds of sugar a year. Today, they eat half-a-pound a day, which totals to 180 pounds in a year. This sugar is actually hard to avoid-because it is in all kinds of processed foods, including Morton salt. Moreover, even in infant formula, the amount of sugar is equivalent to the quantity found in a can of Coca-Cola.
She warned that many common diet choices by parents are harmful, especially foods high in sugar, flour, salt, and fat. These ingredients can form a perfect blend to stimulate obesity because they curb the food- regulating hormone leptin, thus leading to overeating and food addictions. Since dietary habits established in the household tend to influence children well into adulthood, parents have to assume 100 percent responsibility for getting educated about food choices.
She recommended consuming three meals a day and emphasized that it is particularly vital to eat a breakfast. She also suggested that people consume fruits, veggies, and complicated carbohydrates, as well as eat sufficient protein with every meal.
