Do You Have Ten Refrigerators?

Posted on by Jesse Santiano, M.D.




Imagine someone going to the grocery several times a day and stuffs the perishables in the refrigerator. As the fridge gets full, his solution is to buy more refrigerators so he can keep on buying more groceries. Eventually, his house has several refrigerators and gets crowded. His electric bills are through the roof.

Does that sound crazy? Actually, that is obesity. If we keep on eating many times a day, especially refined carbohydrates, the insulin level will stay up all the time, and stored fat never gets used. 

The high insulin keeps storing excess calories in the form of fat. One type of fat called visceral fat is inside the abdomen. As the visceral fat becomes excessive, it produces pro-inflammatory substances.

The inflammatory substances, also called adipokines, contribute to many obesity-related diseases like heart attacks and strokes. The number one and two cause of deaths in the whole world. The heavier weight also discourages exercising and starts a vicious cycle of a sedentary lifestyle and further weight gain.

How do we get rid of the excess refrigerators?

  1. Intermittent fasting is similar to using what are inside the refrigerator.   Fasting lowers insulin levels, and it reverses insulin resistance. Once insulin levels normalize, the fat deposits get used.
  2. High-intensity exercises and resistance exercises get rid of more fat.

The reason why obesity is so deadly is that there is no warning that something terrible is going on inside the body. The damage starts during the teenage years in the obese population. That is why losing belly fat is critical.
