We have a dilemma in this country, it is called “Health Degeneration”. Ask yourself the following questions regarding Health issues:

Why are 2/3 of the USA overweight?

Why is obesity on the rise in this country among adults and children in spite of the fact that we spend billions of dollars on health and fitness products and services?

Why are there so many varying expert written opinions on how to eat?

How is that my best friend has success on a low carb diet yet I feel lousy with minimal success when I incorporate those same eating patterns?

How can cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and a host of other degenerative diseases be on the rise each year?

Accumulatively there have been thousands of books written on losing weight and dieting, Who is right and who is wrong? Basically there is no right or wrong way to eat. Most foods in there purest intrinsic form are not deleterious to our system, however the manner in which we grow, process, and prepare foods are key components in determining how that food is accepted and processed physiologically by our bodies..

Most importantly, each person has there own “biochemical individuality” or Metabolic Type similar to a finger print.

Metabolic Type (MT) is related to how we evolved as human beings. The USA is a melting pot of people from all corners of the world. We can date back thousands of ancestral years which called for dietary adaptation to climate, vegetation, geography, and natural occurring food supplies.

If your ancestry dates back to people from the far northern regions of the world, more specifically Eskimos, they relied heavily on animal fats and protein, primarily because that was the main food source available. It is reported that Eskimo’s could consume up to 10 pounds of meat per day , yet there was not a hint of cancer or heart disease among there tribes until a number of them became “westernized” and started getting away from their ancestral foods.

You might be asking how did they get there supply of minerals and vitamins typically found in fruits and vegetables? The northern people were eating a heavy supply of fish (salmon and cod) and whale blubber, where were the fish and whales getting their supply of food? Answer, seaweed and algae from the ocean floor, which are loaded with healthy minerals, vitamins, and phyto-nutrients.

Converse to the northerners are the equatorial inhabitants of South America and Africa. There diets primarily consisted of vegetative foods (vegetables, fruits, and nuts) with moderate amounts of animal fat and proteins.

Many of us have heard that dairy products are bad. Healthy peoples of the Swiss Alps region diets consisted of dairy and rye bread.

Here is the challenge we have in our current global society; what happens when a person of Eskimo ancestry marries a person from South America or Africa who also has Swiss ancestry? All of us have a predominant gene that determines what type of MT we are. This predominant gene is our Dominance Factor (DF). All foods have a sedating or stimulating effect on our body’s chemistry. Some foods will alkalinize (sedate) the system while others will acidify (stimulate) the system. Certain foods will have a catabolic (muscle breakdown) effect while others will have an anabolic effect (lean muscle building).
