When food is abundant, and there is prosperity. Life sees an opportunity to open up a savings account. Life tries to protect itself; nature does not trust us, so what it does is as we get economical sound, nature starts a safety and security tax, what I mean is it starts saving for its safety a small chunk of your non usable food into a storeroom called belly.
Why belly? My answer is nonconventional, as well as based on science. During our placental stage in the mother’s womb, we had a feeding tube, which was not connected to our mouth but our belly button, as you can see in the picture. It starts once the egg fertilizes it travels in the woman's uterus. Stops at a place where monthly blood is now stopped from flushed out. The fertilized egg puts a syringe into the pool of blood, yes for the food. That syringe becomes the umbilical cord. ( human are parasites. And remains so all their life. )The system is amazing that if the host does not have something minerals or any other, it puts out a bulletin in craving. Craving is nothing else but biology working in the background. After birth, we lose that privilege, and how we feed ourselves from getting it to feeding, through the mouth. Still, those enzymes which were bringing the digested food remain behind; around the belly button; that's the reason that when it is in excess or leftover starts storing in the only forms that storage is in the form of the fat. You see, that is the reason the belly becomes big.
Have you ever fed a squirrel? I did many a time; extraordinary, if you have a little bag, if you keep on feeding her, then what she does starts depositing in the grounds why? You are correct for the winter or later when she needs it, and you are not around. Survival, preservation is the strategy of Life.
The stomach is not very big. As you see in the picture, it is not bigger than our two knuckles joint together. In Ayurvedic, they have rules for eating habits, divide the stomach into four parts, one for food, one for water, and third for air, and fourth leave space for the mixture to blend in. If we take anyone space for any other, we feel unease, and if we occupy two rooms with any further, we become uncomfortable, some time if we stretch and fill all three, we through up. Nature has built this machine we call humans to operate on logic and reason. Safety is a built-in process.
In 2014, AmericanMedicalAssociation published a report, “American and western countries, peoples are doing all kinds of exercises, taking all kinds of dietary pills, following all the diet rules, unfortunately not shedding off many fats, why? They don't know the reason.”
FDA issued on June 4th, 2021, a guideline for diet and approved a kind of injection called Glucagon like peptide ( GLP-1 ), .which targets the area in the brain that regulates appetite. The intake drug must be increased as the 68 weeks trial with BMI 38 Kg /m2 and lost average of 12.4%. FDA and AMA's idea again is food and food craving, which has a lot of side effects.
Let us say we have five sources to have a fire.
Given all the above choices, what will you choose?
Off course Gasoline If gasoline is not there. We will use oil. If oil and gasoline are not there, then it will be the third option, which is, peace of wood. If the first three are not available, then there will be plastic, and then the last one which is hard to burn.
Keep my fuel example in mind. Now I am going to put that in context with our body.
Let us say we have five sources to have a which work as fuel for our body.
The first one is sugar which burns as fuel.
The second one is carbohydrates. Which easily breakdown into alcohol, water, and sugar (which body does not store. That is why we look for them outside in the name of food).
The third one is fat. which is hard to burn (which body can store, cause Life is always trying protect itself). It will break down into Ketones if carbohydrate is not there, which will burn as fuel, and the process is called ketosis. Now you know where that Keto Diet concept comes from. Fat is of two types. One is a healthy fat that is nonsaturated, and the other is saturated. It is the saturated fat that is stored visceral. Outside of the muscles, while the nonsaturated fat goes into muscles to make them flexible and keep the muscles to break down, which is called inflammation, you don’t want to eat the overcooked stake because heat burns the healthy fat and makes the stake like cardboard. That is where we need healthy and nonsaturated fat to keep us healthy. We will go into detail about that latter.
Fourth is Muscles, which body uses as the last resort for the body's survival to maintain that temperature. When we don’t have a healthy external source, body starts to eat itself or burns to keep that survival factor 98.6’0. We see in all malnutrition countries, poor people‘s diet is rice bread beans accessible calories provider. If that is not coming, the body goes into ketosis and starts burning fat, when the fat burn out muscles start cracking.
Fifth is Bone when everything is gone.
Humans will remain alive as long as muscles are there cause body can use the muscles as a source of fuel.
Sugar, carbohydrates, fat, muscles and bones make us human but my detail break down of these parts, explains that those are nothing but a reserve fuel to keep that spark of life alive.
My question is, where is that entity we call Human?
The whole body, from head to toe, is nothing but reserve energy to keep that life force alive. It looks like the only one significant constraint which is controlling the body's activity is the temperature 98.6 degree, which body is trying to maintain at all times.
Heat is the integrated factor. The above analysis suggests that it is so. For life to be living Heat and specifically that particular temp. 98.6, which keeps the whole mass integrated. Take that heat away, and rest starts to crumble.
