Changing your way of life to beat addictions

By Mark Laursen


There are numerous folk who've addictions and excess weight because of it. While I must truly suggest a total Life-style Change approach to weight management, in this article I am going to address the food obsession some of it, and potential care.

Any consumable or non-consumable product or activity could be categorized as an obsession when it is incessant, emotionally tied to a situation, and Cannot Be STOPPED easily or you would have recently done so. Smoking is an addiction, eating chocolate is an addiction. So is soda pop, alcohol, many types of drug use, candy and candy, potato chips, including excess eating generally! The treatments I offer for stopping the repeating of these habits do alter for the product moderately but can also vary for the individual, because we are all different in our constitutions.

We'll take soda pop addiction and extra poundage. Now you have got to know if you don't already, that the excess sugar in soda pop is damaging, if not lethal. It goes like this: When the body senses a blood sugar level going higher over a certain quantity, the body leads to an endocrine cellular command to convert the sugar to fat, which it does anywhere in the body including within your arteries. So except for arteriosclerosis, accumulation of fat in the insides (larger omentum) and subcutaneous layer starts to occur. Translation: you're overweight, you are fat, and you are beginning vascular illness.

With soda pop, caffeine is also a horrible player for your health. Caffeine is a drug in the body, typically acting for worse in my opinion. Caffeine excites the body, we feel awake and more alert short term, but we pay a price for that later when it wears off and we feel psychologically low or addictively needy. The lows of emotion frequently cause people to alter their lifestyle to sleep, eat, or interrupt their mental and emotional acumen. It is far better to be naturally steady, at least within the constraints of normal human emotional range.

If you take diet soda pop, you've fixed the sugar issue but you may not have fixed the caffeine issue. Diet soda pop still has the addictive quality to its relationship with a person. Diet soda pop contains AGE's, advanced glycolsylation end-products. These are considered by most doctors to be cancer causing types of compounds in the body.

What are the payoffs for drinking soda pop? First it provides a mental time-out from whatever we are doing that we don't want to be doing. The sweetness or sugar of soda pop supplies the core drive with the sensation of I'm alright. Every sip, each bottle or can, can be interlinked to that very basic, self-assuring human need. Even exciting your lips by drinking from a bottle may cause unconscious happiness from stress. You may want to consider supplying yourself directly, emotionally with that belief-emotional instinct by instead engaging in non-addictive experiences or contemplative-meditative cures.

2nd, if caffeine is an element of your addictive process, realize why you want for the upper. Are you on a roller coaster food/beverage stimulation way of life, also using coffee or other drugs? Stopping the cycle will cause caffeine headaches for many people lasting a day up to 2 weeks. If you're emotionally low, depressed or bored, simply realising you are upping your energy thru chemicals may galvanize you to do so naturally without food/drink chemicals. If you are bored or have concealed depression, that requires a look at your choices, sentiments, job, relations and lifestyle.

Thirdly, there is the carbonation effect of drinking cold soda pop. This was my largest reason for drinking soda some time ago when I drank Doctor. Peppers. It was that primitive, esophageal burn that one gets when drinking soda pop that appealed to me most. I felt relieved and energy dispelled when I drank soda pop. It was like a lion's roar! The esophagus is a primitive muscle organ. That burning carbonation feeling was really stimulating to me and shifted my emotional energies around in an awakening, exciting manner.

Each food or product can be tied in to the mental, emotional, approach to life core of a person's inner and outer environment. Some of the techniques I identified with soda pop may apply to you and other products or habits. There are precise chemical correlations too,eg with alcohol and the nicotine of tobacco. Food obsession therapies may also have mixed chemical emotional equivalents.

4th, there's the way of life habit. Of holding a cold bottle or can in your hand and sitting or walking around with it while you spend a little bit of time to relax and enjoy. The hands are sensuous, and holding a cold object in the hand excites the brain massively and distracts one from whatever upsetting or uninteresting situation may be gaining your attention before. Glaringly, the requirement for relaxation and delight could be of supreme seriousness to your way of life decisions and thinking. Address this with time, considering what your life is at present about and change things a bit at a time if this is the case. There are other non-edible enjoyments in life , and you may need to discover, remember or imagine and try experimenting with life.

Fifth, some food obsessions are because of the food actually containing nutrient elements that are inadequate in your body. I think the body is really capable of making food drives due to wishes of the body that it somehow knows are in particular foods. This does not relate to all food addictions, but certainly applies to some to my mind.

Care for soda pop especially is this: If you are a carbonation junky, then making the switch to a carbonated water like Perrier will satisfy that esophageal burn. After one or two cases of carbonated water go by, you will want less and less gaseous water as you cope with your way of life and emotional needs. You may also begin by alternating Perrier, as an example, and soda pop. Less soda pop is better than more wouldn't you agree?

Start taking a quality multi-vitamin, a magnesium/calcium product, and an omega 3 oil and re-stock your body by taking trace minerals for 1-3 months. These core products will supply all of the scientifically needed nutriments for your body's health and thus satisfy some hunger obsessions while supplying obligatory healing nutrient elements for your body cells. I also suggest for sugar longings as well as diabetics, to beef up their body with chromium and vanadium for 3 months. These trace minerals are necessary for correct sugar metabolism. Their deficiency may be a allow for your sugar or soda pop cravings.

For sugar neediness, I recommend going thru the sugar withdrawal rather slowly by creating regular complex carbohydrate and protein eating during the day. Don't go a long while without having a natural vegetable snack or low glycemic worth small meal. Do not consume sugary foods or highly sweet kinds of fruit. You want to stabilize your blood sugar readings and also stabilise the endocrine modulators to that sugar and eating. When they stabilise, your sugar drives will lessen. It takes 2 to 3 days for intake of sugar adjustments to diminish and stabilize. If you've got to eat something liquid and sweet, think about using stevia to chop your sugar proportions as your body adjusts.

In the lifestyle wants category, there are several activities that can be substituted for needing to take 5. Going for a walk is an example of the absolute best. Watching TV is a real instance of the worst. Find a delightful and exciting way of living activity which will healthily substitute for sugar needs.

Caffeine desires also require ending the vicious cycle either steadily or abruptly. Abruptly typically means caffeine withdrawal and headaches or constipation. Magnesium orally will fix the slower bowel effects of going off caffeine. Staying hydrated will help to reduce the caffeine withdrawal. You could need headache pain relief for the near term.

Many addictive foods are foods your body doesn't digest well and basically makes antibodies too in numerous cases. Testing the body with a blood food allergy test may exhibit which foods are making you sick. Antagonistic foods make a love/desire/hate emotional need in many people. Identifying the wrong food, or if your addictive food is essentially an irritant, will help you in planning an anti inflammatory escape from this way of life. Anti-histamine supplements can be employed while you're getting off these types of addictive foods in cases like these.

Homeopathic remedies may relieve the requirement for candy or sugar. See a homeopathic provider who will find the best cure for your total health picture. Some of the homeopathic remedies for sugar are: calcerea carbonica 30C or 200C, and kali-c 30C, or 200C. Some sweets remedies are: lycopodium, chininum, and argentum nitricum. Still, given how homeopathic cures are determined, a homeopathic provider may suggest some others especially for you instead.

Other treatments for addictions can include hypnosis and other discovery patterning cures for the addiction emotional mental food connection.

For highly resistant food addictions, I think about using the following: For someone who is an adult and has no esophageal or airway issues, taking ipecac after gorging yourself on the addictive food, will cause a. Lasting queasiness and puking association with that actual food. Ipecac causes vomiting, so there have to be provisions, and nobody likes to barf or feel nausea, but the food association with the nausea reply may obliterate the obsession drive for that food.
