The hope of a cure that I chose to write about this subject because it is a fight I, and millions of people face every day. This problem affects a lot of people, regardless of age or race. Many people are suffering from health problems related to obesity, and the numbers are growing. Our children are still at risk. There are many factors that contribute to obesity. I think the environment we live in is very significant for our daily habits. Wherever you look, it's a fast food restaurant with signs that indicate how delicious your food is cheap. The convenience factor is probably the most attractive. After a long day at work, nobody wants to go home and cook a meal, or go to the supermarket. With the "fast food" all you have to do is drive through, tell them what you want, and even with having to leave your car, you have your meal in about five minutes. One of the main reasons to feed the desire that could be caused from monosodium glutamate (MSG) or restaurants call them flavor enhancers "." MSG is highly addictive and has also been proven to create obesity. I read a recent article * "MSG Slowly Poisoning America" (5/1/04) that scientists were creating obese mice and rats on a diet, and diabetes test studies. As there are no rats or obese mice, of course, they had to create them by injecting them with MSG when they were born. They found that MSG triples the amount of insulin the pancreas creates, causing rats and possibly humans, to become obese. This is a scary thought when you look in your closets, and have to struggle to find something that does not contain MSG. Hughes two manufacturers that use this product are required to list the use of MSG, but they found a way around this, using different names. Some products even claim that they are "MSG free" when in fact they are not. Some other words, to * MSG ("The Excitotoxins – The Taste That Kills" (By Dr. Russell Blaylock, MD 03/06/03) include: Hydrolyzed protein, sodium caseinate, calcium caseinate, yeast extract, textured protein and hydrolyzed oat flour. These are just some names that they use. The list has about 15 or 20 additional alternate names for MSG. It is most commonly used in restaurants and processed foods. Also in the article I read, the author asked a very intriguing question: "If MSG is not harmful, then why would they try to hide the fact that use it?" I think if people want to solve the epidemic of obesity, must begin with MSG, and its harmful effects on people. One of the harmful effects of MSG, is that it can contribute to panic attacks and anxiety I have personally experienced this effect I have a lot of anxiety issues and when I eat something that has a lot of MSG added, for example: .. Chinese food, or Ramen noodles, increases my anxiety. But some foods are hard to get away from it when you're on a tight budget. This makes it almost impossible to afford healthy and organic foods. I tested this theory Me. I ate healthy for about two weeks, so I ran low on money, and I could not afford healthy food. So for the rest of the month, I had to resort to Ramen Noodles, macaroni and cheese. Thus, as relates to my experiences, I think that money is a big contributor in healthy eating and diet today. I believe some of the problems of obesity could be due in part to people who rely on a miracle, or some kind of cure for take care of all your problems. See commercials every day for products claiming to be the next miracle that will solve all your problems. Then, in words so small they can barely see, that this product will work only with diet and exercise . It is disappointing that these activities attacking hope and despair of people just to make a buck. I think if there was not much advertising, then maybe more people rely on traditional forms of weight loss. Hughes 3 I think that exercise is essential to combat obesity. Although it is possible to exercise regularly, without losing any weight. But regardless of weight loss, help with health problems related to obesity. I have three children (I gave birth to five) and I was very small. I never had a problem with my weight, but after five children and coping with stress, depression and eating for two so many times, you tend to gain some extra weight. I tried just about every diet, plenty of exercise (cycling everywhere, pulling three children), working in the gym, and so far I have not found anything that works. You just have to find the only thing that will work right for you, something you like. An important question comes to mind when explore this issue. We are teaching our children poor habits? We were taught bad eating habits? Or it could be caused by MSG added to our food over the past 50 years? Whatever the cause, the number of obese children seems to be growing rapidly. Maybe food has become a bit as a new drug to deal with the struggles of life. It is strange to think of food as a drug, but some people use it as a crutch (myself included) who just seems to make you feel better even if only for a moment. I do not use drugs, drink or smoke. But I'm addicted to certain foods, and I believe everyone has something to lean on for support, healthy or not. Perhaps the most publicized obesity should be so that others know they are not alone, that there is help for them, and that there is healthy ways to cope without resorting to excess. My hope is a cure for obesity in the near future, and someone put an end the addition of MSG to our food. I hope this problem can be solved and as a result, a lot of health problems could be reduced considerably. So do not go hungry, but do not overdo it, and remember that we have little observing and learning from each our movement. Try to break the cycle a good example for healthy eating and exercise Hughes four works cited * Author unknown "MSG-Slowly Poisoning America" May 1, 2004 general52/msg Htm * Dr. Russell Blaylock, MD Book "Excitotoxins – The Taste that kills …" March 6, 2003 … Basically Grande.
