Causes Of Gas

Some foods are more prone to form gas than others. These include dry beans, corn, apples, raisins, bananas, prune juice, apple juice, milk, onions, celery, carrots, apricots, pretzels, bagels, wheat germ, brussels sprouts, pastries, potatoes, egg-plant, citrus fruits and bread. The reason may be that some of the food escapes digestion and absorption, often because of inadequate cooking or too rapid eating and drinking. The food residues are then made into gas when they reach the colon. Saliva need to be well mixed with all food and drink. Solid food needs to be chewed to a cream before it is swallowed.

Enzyme production by the intestinal tract can be boosted by the eating of fresh, raw fruits and vegetables, seeds and nuts. Chew them well.

The major gases of the intestinal tract, oxygen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and methane are odourless. These components of intestinal gas which have a bad odour, much less than 1%, include ammonia, hydrogen sulphide, volatile amino acids, short-chain fatty acids and highly disagreeable amines such as indole and skatole. Fats and proteins have the unpleasant smelling residues whereas carbohydrates tend to have the odourless components of intestinal gas. Acids are often produced when intestinal gas is formed, causing irritation and discomfort in the colon.

The following are some additional causes of gas in the colon:

Overtaxing the digestive system.

·         Eating too fast or too slowly.

A desirable mealtime might be 30 -45 minutes

·         Inadequate chewing

Chunks of food escape which cannot be completely digested. Chewing with the mouth open encourages swallowing f air

·         Eating too much

The digestive tract is unable to handle the excess food.

·         Meals too close together or off schedule

Drinking with meals, or too much of liquid food, milk, soups, and juices

Tension, noise, or distraction at mealtime

Improper cooking.  Grains and legumes may require several hours

Wrong combination – fruits and vegetables, milk, eggs, and sugar

Inadequate amount of water between meals

Eating foods that disagree with one. Milk sensitivity is a frequent cause of gas. An intolerance to lactose, the chief carbohydrate of dairy products, is the most common food sensitivity

Reclining after meals

Those Who Lose Weight, Win

Experience teaches us, and statistics affirm, that rarely will we find an obese vegetarian. In fact, obesity or the tendency towards it is one of the good reasons to change diet and base it on plant foods.

Overweight creates many health problems. The heart, the bones and joints are overloaded in performing their functions. Weight loss is to achieve good health. It has been said that one kilo more of weight shortens life by one year.

The ideal weight of an adult can be approx calculated by taking into consideration the height: the number of centimetres which exceed one metre are  the kilos that an individual should weigh. Normal weight is that between 10% above or below this number of kilos. Thus a person who measures 1.70 metres should weight 70 kilos, with a normal margin of between 63 and 77 kilos, depending on the bone structure.

Obesity or overweight is the result of an imbalance between energy that is ingested and that which the body really needs. The energy that is left over accumulates in the form of fats, especially under the skin.

Seen in this way, there are only two solutions to avoid excess weight: take in less calories and use more calories. Nevertheless, this is not as simple as it seems, and there are other factors which decisively affect the problem of overweight

CAUSES OF OVERWEIGHT
Have you not heard this saying at some time?
"I do not understand why I am putting on weight, with the little that I eat!'
Very often over weight persons are accused of eating too much. But really, this is not the only nor most important cause of overweight. All of us have known thin persons who eat constantly. There are even those who try to gain weight, but it does not happen. Therefore, aside from eating too much food, there must be other factors which cause overweight.  A classic experiment which investigators of human nutrition know well is: Eating exactly the same, and carrying on the same daily exercise programme causes some persons to increase in weight, others maintain weight, and still others may even become thinner. Not all persons gain weight at the same rate. The causes of the differences between individuals are not clear as  yet  despite the great amount of research undertaken on this subject.
The following are some indications:


Hereditary factor. There are persons who have inherited from their ancestors a corpulent constitution, which may possibly be related to better assimilation of food.
Individual factors. These depend on the hormonal balance of each person. Hormones such as thyroxine, produced by the thyroid gland, speeds the combustion of nutrients in the body.On the contrary, insulin increases the lipogenesis (production of fats). It has been proven that overweight persons are less sensitive to insulin, that is, they need more insulin to metabolise glucose. As a result, this causes an increase in the production of fat.
Smaller thermogenic capacity. That is, overweight persons produce less heat than thin people. The calories that are not transformed into energy accumulate in the body in the form of fat. On the contrary, thin persons spend more calories in trying  to keep the body warm so they consume more energy and have a small deposit of fat.
More sensitive hunger centre. A nerve nucleus which regulates the appetite and which is found in the hypothalamus, in the centre of the brain. This makes individuals who tend to be overweight get hungry more often, and need more food to enjoy the feeling of fullness.

Christianity

Many of my friends on the social media are Christians. I would just like to affirm the faith we share and for those who are not, I hope this might bring some inspiration.

The God we serve is real. He is as real as you and I except that He is a Spirit and I use 'He' only for convenience since God is sexless, meaning neither male nor female. I have a Close relationship with Him. I speak to Him as I speak to my friends. He listens even when I don't think He is listening. He acts, sometimes slowly but always acts. If he does not act, it means that He is not in agreement with the request(s) being made.

In the church, there are many persons who have various positions and attend services very regular but have no personal relationship with God. They pray to Him but do not know Him. Now this is terrible because He should be the reason why we attend church in the first place. We should not join a church because we want to be a part of a group or a member of a group or because it is politically correct to do so. We must put God first in all things.

I can testify to the wonderful things that I have experienced, through Christ, since becoming a Christian. It is truly awesome and I am not for one minute saying that it was an easy road!
