Obesity, Nutritional Dis-ease and Smoking
"Obesity is almost like the new smoking," says Dr. Anne McTiernan, director of the Prevention Center at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. "The effect isn't as big for most cancers, but it's so prevalent that it will have a huge impact."
Lifestyle Behaviors: Smoking and Obesity
We've all been around long enough to remember the intial antismoking campaigns that have now become viral in the social community It's definitely not cool to smoke nowadays(no pun intended since energy science wise smoking is hot)
And now it's becoming almost fadish not to be overweight
McTiernan argues that the common denominator disease for the two problematic lifestyle behaviors is cancer; smoking for lung cancer and obesity for multiple cancers
Being overweight and physically inactive may account for 25% to 30% cases of major cancers such as breast and colon cancer, according to estimates
So the new health format in prevention is now being likened to the antismoking campaigns of the 1980's
The National Cancer Institute estimates that smoking accounts for 37.5% cancer deaths in men and 22.8% in women. But smoking does most of its dirty work in lung cancer victims. When lung cancer is taken out of the picture, smoking can only be blamed for 12% of cancer deaths in men and 6% in women — fewer than can be chalked up to excess pounds.
The Energy Science Perspective of Obesity and Cancer
The matter science medical model doesn't know for sure exactly how weight increases cancer risk, but it's likely that it does so in multiple ways, with the precise mechanism differing from cancer to cancer.
High levels of estrogen, insulin, and inflammatory compounds are among the suspects that have been implicated in research to date from a matter science view
From an energy science view the origins of disease are imbalances of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha in a specific organ of the mindbody, eg lung, prostate, breast, liver, pancreas etc
It's the provocation of these energy patterns that leave the GI tract and promote the cancer somewhere in the mindbody
Why the obesity link? Kapha is the energy pattern of stability and when out of balance leads to the increasing mass in the mindbody If excess Pitta is also present, inflammation is added to the imbalance mix and instead of excess Kapha producing a benign mass, it produces a malignant or cancerous one
Energy Science Nutrition Makes More Sense
The energy science view of disease is indeed powerful in answering our epidemiologic matter science questions coming forth from its investigators who are looking for answers
So what to do with the provoked Kapha that leads to congestion manifested in part by weight
Here are some ways:
Create a lifestlyle exercise habit that Kapha can enjoy
Eat according a PK nutritional format
Avoid foods that are incompatable with one another
Use a PK churan
Do one day a week juice fasts
Avoid snacks and ice
Eat your biggest meal at noon
Consider doing kitchari on a regular basis
This is a beginning to improving the health of your energy field!
Until tomorrow To health as a Skill Love DrBill
