SWING Diet Has Its Benefits

Eat the same, weigh the same, leads to old fat accumulation that never gets recycled. The body only burns what it takes in and needs, then stores the rest. If you’re always eating the same, those fat stores don’t get replenished with fresh fat. Your fat contains the toxins and all the junk that youContinueContinue reading “SWING Diet Has Its Benefits”

AUTOPHAGY

https://youtu.be/4wzO4T1fiP4 A Japanese cell biologist Yoshinori Ohsumi won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2016 for his research on how cells recycle and renew their content, a process called autophagy.

Why Are Humans So Fat?

Why are humans so fat? Because they eat FOR EVER, instead of for the moment. Or, they eat like there’s no tomorrow. Either way produces the same result: Eating more than the body NEEDS FOR NOW.
