In recent years, scientists have made some compelling discoveries about the ways that the will power works. It isn’t just some storybook concept; it’s a measurable form of mental energy that runs out as you use it, much like a gas in your car.

A psychologist at Florida State University conducted an experiment. He had a group of student sit next to a plate of fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies. Some were allowed to snack away, others were ordered to abstain. Afterwards, both groups were asked to complete difficult puzzles. The students who abstain from eating cookies had so depleted their reserves for self-control that they gave up quickly. On the other hand the cookie eaters had conserved the willpower and work on the puzzles longer. This shows that if we constantly challenge our self-control, our willpower runs out.

Our willpower is a finite resource, we must use it wisely. People with best self-control aren’t the ones who use it all day long. They are people who structure their daily routine such a way that they can conserve will power. For example, not keeping cookie jar in plain sight. That way you will be able to amass vast reserve for you when you really need it, like getting your lazy ass to the gym.

The fat cells produce chemical, called cytokines, that start a cascade of reaction that ultimately lead to inflammation. This inflammation ultimately causes metabolic disorders, such as, diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia.

Both diabetes and obesity (hence diabesity) share the same underlying causes (genetic makeup and unhealthy lifestyle) and this require the same treatment. They are 100% preventable and, in some cases, entirely reversible.

Diabetes is diagnosed by the following criteria:

• HgA1c (Glycocylated hemoglobin) > 6.5%
• Fasting plasma glucose > 126 mg/dl
• 2-hr plasma glucose > 200 mg/dl post 75 gm oral glucose challenge
• Random plasma glucose > 200 mg/dl with symptoms (Polyuria, polydipsia and unexplained weight loss)

Impaired Fasting Glucose or Prediabetes is diagnosed by  the following criteria:

• Fasting plasma glucose 100 – 125 mg/dl [Impaired fasting glucose (IFG)] or
• 2-hr post 75g oral glucose challenge 140 – 199 mg/dl [Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT)] or
• HgA1C  5.7 % – 6.4 %

It is important to note that

• By the time of diagnosis of diabetes, 20% of patients have already developed retinopathy, 8% have nephropathy, 9% have neuropathy and up to 50% have cardiovascular diseases.
• Even before you develop diabetes, beta-cell in pancreas are getting affected leading to increased risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Obesity is assessed by body mass index (BMI):

The risk of diabetes escalates with the degree of excess weight. Therefore, the prevention of weight gain in people with diabetes as well as impaired glucose tolerance should be the main focus of treatment strategies.

Weight loss will surely improve diabetes and other metabolic disorders. It is important to understand that while you lose weight, specially when you have other medical problems, such as, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, etc., one should seek medical weight loss program which are physician supervised. Your current medications needs to be adjusted while you lose weight.

Protein an important part of our food group. More importantly, we need to know what are some good sources of complete protein.

Proteins are present in every cell, tissue and organ in our bodies. These protein are constantly being broken down and replaced.  The protein is broken into amino acids that are absorbed by body. We need protein for all the cell functions to continue working properly.

There are 20 different amino acids that join together to make all types of protein. There are nine indispensable (essential) amino acids: trytophan, histidine, methionine, threonine, isoleucine, valine, phenylalanine, lysine, leucine. These amino acids cannot be synthesized and must be provided in the diet. The dispensable (non-essential) amino acids can be synthesized in the body, but some may still be needed in the diet unless adequate amounts of their precursors are available.

In the diet, protein sources are labeled according to how many and how much essential amino acids they provide:

• Complete Proteins: A complete protein source is one that provides all of the essential amino acids. You may also hear these sources called high quality proteins. Animal-based foods; for example, meat, poultry, fish, milk, eggs, and cheese are considered complete protein sources.
• Incomplete Proteins: An incomplete protein source is one that is low in one or more of the essential amino acids. Complementary proteins are two or more incomplete protein sources that together provide adequate amounts of all the essential amino acids. You must combine them to get all of the amino acids your body needs.

Participantswho reported poor oral hygiene (never/rarely brushed their teeth) not only had an increased risk of a cardiovascular disease event but also had higher inflammatory markers, such as, c-reactive protein (CRP).

Although this could be simple a correlation but not a causal relationship, we can still reduce the risk of inflammation with simple intervention – Brushing Teeth twice a day!

Women were divided in two groups – one got about 500 ml of fat-free milk immediately and 1 hour after strength training exercise and the other group got a protein drink at the similar times. The milk group maintain the same body mass but had lower fat mass  and increased lean body mass, which means that they had lower percent body fat. Not only was their body composition improved but the Milk group also have higher Vitamin D which helps with bone development.

This study supports what has been promoted all along with “Got Milk” ads. Milk is essential to our body and nothing replaces natural milk protein even for building muscle and weight loss.
