Alternatives to Prescriptions that Make Us Fat

Commonly used prescription drugs can drastically interrupt metabolism.  When

used long term (6 months or more), these drugs can elicit morbid obesity and

negate the benefits of any fat loss plan!  Users are sure to become honorary

members of the Fat Cow Hall of Fame. 

 

The most common of the obesity-inducing drugs are those used for birth control,

depression (SSRI’s and antipsychotics like Zyprexa), type II diabetes

(sulfonylureas such as Amaryl and thiazolidinediones such as Avandia) and high

blood pressure (beta blockers such as Atenolol).  All of them, in one way or

another, lead to increased amounts of our fat storing hormone insulin.  The

alternative to birth control is obvious, but the others are not so apparent. 

 

The natural alternative to anti-depressants like Prozac™ is interval training,

proper sun exposure, SAMe and the essential amino acid L-tryptophan. 

 

Type II diabetics can successfully use the above lifestyle habits as well as the

banaba leaf, green tea, and cinnamon – after undergoing my “$1.41 Cleanse” found

Blood pressure meds are notorious for increasing our waistline.  They disrupt

the activity of a family of molecules known as catecholamines, which are

responsible for activating fat metabolism – lypolysis and thermogenesis. 

Blocking their activity with blood pressure meds leads to massive fat storage

and loss of energy. 

 

Many people fear getting off blood pressure medication.  It doesn’t have to be

like this.  High blood pressure is not an instant death sentence.  In fact,

sometimes it is a normal process of aging that results from an increased need

for oxygen and nutrient distribution.  It is completely natural for the first

number to be 100 plus our age.  For example, 160 systolic reading is perfectly

in range for a 60 year old.  Taking drugs to lower it to 120 would only lead to

negative side effects like lethargy, obesity, diabetes and even early death. 

 

The goal of maintaining a blood pressure at or near 120/80 or more recently

115/75 is based on drug company hype, not science.  Such low recommendations

ensure that healthy people are converted to patients.

 

If high blood pressure does exist beyond the above parameters, it can be

controlled naturally.  Getting off sugar and artificial flavors is among the

best things you can do to obtain normal readings. 

 

In situations where high blood pressure becomes threatening, using

cardiovascular nutrients such as L-arginine combined with magnesium aspartate

and a 95% grape seed extract (see http://www.health-fx.net) can serve as a

potent natural remedy.  Hawthorn can be a potent addition too. 

 

Combined, these nutrients allow for relaxation of arterial walls and proper

blood viscosity (the prevention of blood clots).  When this happens, pressure is

released and blood flow continues without interruption.  Heart attacks and

stroke that may result from decreased blood flow or inflammation caused by

“high” blood pressure are greatly prevented by these safe and natural

“cardiovascular preserving” nutrients.

 

Don’t let your life be compromised with prescription drugs.  Logic dictates, “go

natural first.”  This will ensure perfect physique and longevity.
