A Cutting-Edge Scientific Approach to Cholesterol Control, Weight Control and Disease Prevention With Less Dietary Restriction

Counteract the Fat: A groundbreaking book based on scientific studies.

CHICAGO, May 1, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Junk food is so loved by many. What is not loved are the associated medical conditions and weight gain. Over time, scientific studies have been conducted at various institutions across America and abroad. These studies have indicated that fiber and antioxidants can mitigate the health risks associated with junk food by counteracting the physiological effects of high-fat and other junk food, thus offering a cutting-edge approach to maintaining better health without deprivation. This does not mean that ????????? consumption of junk food without consequences is now possible. What it does mean is greater freedom, less restriction and a wider variety of food choices for ??????? individuals. These groundbreaking discoveries are uncovered in the book ?????????? ??? ???: ??? ?????????? ??????? ???? ????? ???? ????? ??? ???????????? ??? ?????????? ??? ????????????? ??????? ?? ???? ???? ??? ??????? ??????????? ??? ?????? ??????? ???? ???? ??????????? (ISBN: 979-8398923704). The following concepts are discussed in the book:

• High-fat foods produce cholesterol-related acids that can clog arteries and raise cholesterol levels over time ? opening the door to heart disease. Scientists have identified a special type of soluble fiber known as ???? ??????? that can counteract that effect. According to scientists, beta glucans can reduce the absorption of dietary fats and promote cholesterol control all by itself, even in a diet containing moderate amounts of saturated fat and cholesterol. Scientists have reported that beta glucans nab cholesterol-related acids produced by dietary fats ? ushering them out of the body before they can ravage the heart and arteries and thus lowering the risk of heart disease.
• The excess calories in high-fat foods are absorbed by the body and stored as fat, and can cause weight gain over time ? opening the door to obesity. Both fiber and antioxidants can counteract that effect. Scientists have reported that fiber helps to promote weight control by reducing the amount of calories the body absorbs. It does that by nabbing calories ? speeding them through the digestive system before they can be absorbed and stored as fat. Scientists have also reported that antioxidants help to promote weight control by providing the body with the energy that it needs to burn fat more efficiently. These actions make it more difficult to gain weight and thus lower the risk of obesity.
• Deep-fried fatty foods can form ???????? ?????? that can damage cells and the lining of the blood vessels over time ? opening the door to heart disease. Antioxidants can counteract that effect. Scientists have reported that antioxidants fight heart disease by inhibiting the formation of oxidized lipids ? thus inhibiting damage to cells and to the lining of the blood vessels and thus lowering the risk of heart disease.
• Hot dogs, bacon, sausages and other tasty processed meats contain ????????. Over time, nitrites can open the door to pancreatic cancer by breaking down and converting to ????????????. Vitamins ?, ? and ???????? can counteract that effect. Scientists have reported that vitamins C, E and selenium fight pancreatic cancer by neutralizing nitrites ? thus inhibiting the formation of nitrosamines over time and helping to immobilize the cancer-causing process.
• Many junk food favorites are high in ??????. Excess sodium can open the door to high blood pressure by causing the body to retain water, which increases the volume of blood. Both ????????? and ??????? can counteract that effect. Scientists have reported that potassium fights high blood pressure by flushing excess sodium out of the body. Scientists have also reported that calcium fights high blood pressure by acting as a natural diuretic to help kidneys release excess sodium and water. These actions help to maintain healthy sodium levels ? thus reducing the risk of high blood pressure.
• Many animal protein food favorites such as steaks, hamburgers and ribs can open the door to heart disease and stroke by increasing the body's production of a potentially dangerous amino acid known as ????????????. Homocysteine is a by-product of protein metabolism. Excessive amounts of homocysteine in the bloodstream opens the door to heart disease and stroke by injuring blood vessels, which leads to the buildup of plaque (scar tissue) and narrowing of the carotid arteries. The B vitamins ????? ????, ??????? ?? and ??????? ??? can counteract that effect. Scientists have reported that folic acid, vitamin B? and vitamin B?? fight heart disease and stroke by breaking down excess homocysteine into harmless compounds, thus inhibiting injury to blood vessels and narrowing of the carotid arteries.
• High-fat foods can open the door to breast and other hormone-related cancers by encouraging the growth of certain intestinal bacteria that have the ability to convert bile acids into estrogen-like hormones ? which in large amounts can trigger the growth of tumors in the breasts and ovaries. The growth of certain intestinal bacteria encouraged by high-fat foods also causes the body to reabsorb circulating estrogen ? rather than excrete it. As a result, blood levels of estrogen become elevated over time. Elevated levels of estrogen can trigger the growth of tumors in the breasts and ovaries. A class of compounds identified by scientists as ??????????? has the ability to counteract that effect. Scientists have reported that isoflavones fight breast and other hormone-related cancers by helping to promote proper levels of estrogen. Scientists say that isoflavones are very similar to natural estrogen. They help to promote proper levels of estrogen by pretending to be natural estrogen and nabbing the body's estrogen receptors, leaving the ???? estrogen with nowhere else to go but out of the body ? thus helping to immobilize the cancer-causing process.
• And ????, ???? more groundbreaking discoveries.

?????????? ??? ??? is a viable alternative to severely restrictive eating habits that stands alone as an informative, research-backed contribution to dietary science. The book explains how fiber and antioxidants can help stave off illness and obesity in a ???-severely restrictive diet. ?????????? ??? ??? is ideal for healthy adults with no history of debilitating illnesses who would like to maintain their health without sacrificing their favorite indulgences. ?????????? ??? ??? uncovers discoveries made by scientists at more than a dozen world-class institutions.

????? ??? ??????:

DéShond L Barnes discovered the ?????????? ??? ??? concept in the late 1990's by poring through medical journals and health, nutrition and diet publications for nearly a year, and has practiced the revolutionary ?????????? ??? ??? methodology ever since ? with incredible success. By examining nutrition facts labels, calculating the total amount of fiber, antioxidants and other essential nutrients provided by health foods, and consuming a daily diet containing an average of 100+% of the Recommended Daily Allowance for fiber, antioxidants and other essential nutrients ? Barnes has maintained excellent blood cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure and body weight over the decades without sacrificing unhealthy junk food favorites. This has inspired Barnes to share this information with the rest of the world by publishing ?????????? ??? ??? more than two decades later. Barnes also teaches ?????????? ??? ??? seminars at local Y.M.C.A.'s and public libraries in northern Illinois to spread the word about the ?????????? ??? ??? methodology. Barnes lives and writes in northern Illinois.
