Adaptation: “To survive and reproduce, all living organisms must adjust to conditions imposed on them by their environments. An organisms environment includes everything impinging upon it, as well as everything that is affected by that organism. Conformity between an organism and its environment constitutes what biologists call adaptation.” The science behind the human body isn’t unknown. There may be some areas of the human body less understood than others, but the human physiology as a whole has been studied and very well documented. The ways in which the body loses and gains weight is very much understood, it’s clear. If your input is greater than your output you gain weight, it’s really quite simple. Now, the reasons why we consume and how our bodies respond to the imbalance is the key and the mystery! I’m not going to go too deep into the science right now, it’s be covered in coming posts and ultimately in my very 1st book coming out in the Fall 2015! The body gains weight as a result of 3 key causes: 1. Excessive Food Consumption 2. Decreased Energy Expenditure 3. Environmental Factors Contributing to Increased Stress In future posts, I will provide sound, irrefutable facts why it is that blacks are more prone to weight gain that ANY other ethnicity. This has led to blacks leading the way in cardiovascular related deaths each year and it’s continually growing. I will clearly spell out WHY it is that black women are the #1 population impacted by obesity and as a result die each year from cardiovascular related diseases than ANY others. Let me touch on “stress” before I close this post for those wanting a little bit more. The Body’s Natural Fight of Flight Response The fight-or-flight response (also called the fight, flight, freeze, or fawn response [in PTSD], hyperarousal, or the acute stress response) is a physiological reaction that occurs in response to a perceived harmful event, attack, or threat to survival. This response causes increased release of hormones throughout the body which is one of the leading cause of weight gain and other physiological damages. Any idea NOW why blacks are leading in obesity and other cardiovascular diseases? Just wait until I dive deeper into the science, it’ll both scare and awaken you, I assure you!
