An article on the Runners World website gives three most common current views on chemicals and how they may be affecting the way we metabolize (read: store or burn) fat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are Chemicals Making Us Fat? A multiple choice question.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to Runners World, \u201cObesogens are fairly new, and controversial, and three varying perspectives on their role in weight gain are offered in the June issue of Obesity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here are the three major views on chemicals and obesity:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Chemicals we\u2019re exposed to before we\u2019re born and while we\u2019re very young, including chemicals found in plastic food containers, affect impulse control and create a \u201cperfect storm\u201d for fat. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Testing showing a correlation between chemicals and obesity, done in high doses on animals, don\u2019t translate to human experience. Poor diet is the main source of obesogens.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. It\u2019s too soon to judge. Let\u2019s keep researching.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the spirit of further research, the article reports:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOBELIX, a large European study, includes both animal studies using doses of chemicals that reflect human exposure and research that investigates the effects of exposure to obesogens before birth and during breastfeeding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So expect to see more breaking news about obesogens and the war on fat.<\/p>\n<p>If your body shows signs of chemical toxicity, it may be time to detox. Go GREEN to flush out the problem. High fibre fruits and vegetables and in particular anything GREEN are the safest and most effective things to focus on in your diet from now on:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>Green, leafy vegetables\n<p><div id=\"attachment_2141\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hypervibe.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/09\/citrus.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2141\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2141\" title=\"citrus\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hypervibe.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/09\/citrus-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hypervibe.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/09\/citrus-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hypervibe.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/09\/citrus-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.hypervibe.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/09\/citrus.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2141\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Img by La.Catholique on flickr; used under cc by 2.<\/p><\/div><\/li>\n<li>Broccoli<\/li>\n<li>Wheat Grass juice or powder<\/li>\n<li>Fruit<\/li>\n<li>Citrus<\/li>\n<li>Beans<\/li>\n<li>Green Tea<\/li>\n<li>Nuts and seeds<\/li>\n<li>Omega-rich foods like avocado and Hemp seed oil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Try incorporating these foods into your diet year-round for a noticeable boost to your general sense of wellness.
