The Nutrition Solution

The Nutrition Solution Centre, Harold J. Kristal, DDS and James M. Haig, NC, 2002: North Atlantic Books, Berkeley, CA, 285 pages

The Nutrition Center solution is probably the most important book in terms of metabolic types. There are other biochemical types of books, which one is Eat Right for your (blood) type. The reason why the solution is the best Nutrition Metabolic Typing book because it combines four different metabolic types and offers both a strong theoretical basis and substantial empirical evidence of the four types. Most of the audience reading this review may never have heard of metabolic types. Therefore, some background information is presented before proceeding with the criticism of the Nutrition Center Solution.

Crystal book is strongly influenced by the other major work on metabolic typing — The Metabolic Typing Diet. The author of this book, William Wolcott, originally thought that there are two types of metabolism, the fast and slow oxidizers. He in turn was influenced in this opinion by George Watson, PhD, who have different prices of food oxidation wrote in the book Nutrition and Your Mind: The Psycho Chemical Response. It was much later discovered that Crystal on the theory of Wolcott, who suggested that there are four types of metabolic, not two. In the opinion of Wolcott, there were two metabolizing systems, the oxidative and autonomous. The oxidative system is one that all biochemistry books described as the standard system of breaking down food for energy. It is well-defined and relatively uncontroversial. Oxygen combines with molecules made of carbon and hydrogen to release energy. A similar reaction occurs in a gasoline engine to the energy released by the chemical octane. Some foods oxidize faster than normal, they are called fast oxidizers. Some foods oxidize at a slower pace and are termed slow oxidizers.

The autonomic system is responsible for the neural basis of regulation of metabolism by hormones and neurotransmitters. Although the study of the autonomic system is also a “classic” science that is taught in the bio-medical field for decades, is newer, and thus is less defined than the oxidative system. The two branches of the autonomic system, the sympathetic and parasympathetic. The sympathetic branch is usually stimulants (ex. increasing heart rate), while the parasympathetic branch is mostly inhibitory (ex. decreasing heart rate). Both the oxidative and autonomous systems with each other, give feedback to each other to maintain the overall body metabolism going. Each person has both the oxidative and autonomous systems, but they are not always in balance. Often one will dominate the other in certain cases, including digestion and assimilation of food. Sr. Francis Pottenger many independent experiments performed on animals at the turn of the 20th century, and concluded that the individual mammals (including humans) tend to have an autonomous branches dominate the other. For this theory, he is widely recognized as the father of the autonomic type.

There is a second variable in the metabolic equation: blood pH. Normally, arterial blood pH varies from 7.37 to 7.43, with an average of 7.40. The blood is acidic, the lower the pH, the more alkaline the blood, the higher the pH. A completely neutral pH is 7.00, so all the blood pH is slightly alkaline. However, if the blood pH falls below 7.40 may be called relatively acidic, although technically it is still slightly alkaline. Most foods, including cereals and meat, let acids when they are digested. Many vegetables are an exception to this — they are alkaline. However, what happens during digestion and what happens to the pH of the blood can be two very different things. For reasons not yet entirely clear, some foods increase blood pH in some people and some foods lower blood pH in the others. The same food can increase pH of the blood in a person and leave it in another.

This is important for two reasons. First, blood pH should be kept in a narrow range for different enzymes and other components of the blood to function. If blood pH is too high or too low, it can cause problems with the health of a person, including seizures, coma and even death. Second, a person’s blood pH within the clinical range of 7.37-7.43, but they can close one of these extremes, and eating the “wrong” foods may push them further from the optimum pH of 7.40. The good news is that once a person knows and understands their metabolic type, they can be a nutrition plan to help balance their blood pH to the optimum level.

Weight Loss Problems and Solutions

Weight Loss problems faced by people of all ages. At the moment can be daunting despite making tremendous efforts to control your weight. Obesity can lead to serious health problems, so it can not be emphasized enough how important it is to the right to retain weight.

2) emotional eating Solution Deal with the source of negative emotion, because eating your way out would not solve the problem. For one food related ways to cheer yourself and relieve stress. Keep a food diary and note the quantity eaten and the reason for eating this amount. Learn to distinguish between emotional and physical hunger and try the events and feelings associated with identifying your emotional eating.

3) slow metabolism Problem A slow metabolism is one of the most common reasons for being overweight compared to a fast metabolism. The metabolism is the varying amount of calories used to perform bodily functions such as digestion, respiration and tissue repair. Metabolic factors such as age, gender and genetics do not change. Women naturally have a slower metabolism and as one ages, his metabolism is also slower to launch an obesity problem.

4) slow metabolism Solution Look for ways to boost your metabolism, such as eating breakfast, adding more exercise, perform strength and avoiding fad diets. A faster metabolism may increase the amount of calories you burn per day, even while asleep.Weight loss is much improved using this strategy.

5) Problem-Inactivity is a major problem is caused by the modernization of our time. Improved technology has resulted in counter-oriented work, leisure time inactive and thus the calories consumed that lead to overweight and obesity.

6) Inactivity Solution To overcome the trend of the movement discrimination in modern society, looking for ways to be more active in your spare time. Exercise regularly to your metabolism, so that existing stores of body fat disappears boost. It is very important that you become more active, moving your body more than you are moving a great deal now.This can help with weight loss problems.

7) Dieting Problem-The body responds to diet to slow your metabolism to fuel calories to maintain and preserve all possible. Diet without exercise rarely succeed due to this built survival mechanism. Short-term changes in your eating habits results in brief changes in body shape. Strict diets cause a single muscle to body fluids and muscle glucose stores, but not fat, hence the person feels that he has lost weight. But when you go back to normal eating, you have less muscle, a slower metabolism and a body desperate for calories in case it gets hungry again resulting in excess weight saving.

8) Dieting Solution Establish a long term healthy eating plan that subtle changes to your diet instead of short-term priorities. Include a variety of natural foods like vegetables, legumes and whole grain foods and drink plenty of water.

9) Attitude Problem Your attitude adjusting your lifestyle and your willingness to change will have a significant impact on your results. So you are ready to have a positive attitude towards permanently changing your eating habits and eating healthier foods? Is the weight loss and health your priority and you are sure you change your lifestyle at this point in your life?

10) Attitude Solution changes to your lifestyle will come over time with lots of practice. A positive attitude and determination to succeed will certainly make you a winner in every aspect of life.
