Don't Lose your Mind, Too

Maybe you wouldn't cut off your toe to look good in a pair
of pointy shoes.

But would you trade your bulging belly for a psychiatric
disorder? Lose your Mind in the process of losing inches?

The newest miracle drug coming down the pipleline is
having trouble getting approved...

Thank goodness.

The FDA and the public are both a little nervous about
new miracle drugs, after fen-phen, Vioxx and all the
other recalls.

'Accomplia' supposedly helps you lose weight by shutting
down receptors in your brain (the same ones that those
pointy-ended cigarettes stimulate to give stoners the
munchies).

To me, that's the trouble with medicine in general. Come
from the Outside and force the body to slow down or
speed up by blocking things...shutting down receptors...
interfering with the body's natural function.

That's why the side effect disclaimers are starting to get
longer than the rest of the commercial (they're talking a
lot faster, too.)

Side-effects, yes. Mood swings, aggression, depression,
anxiety. Subjects on Accomplia had almost 3 times the
psychiatric troubles as those on placebo.

One person said it gave him 'a lovely and welcome
disinterest in food.'

I guess that's OK to drop a few, but it's no way to live
your life.

We're created with an interest in food...it keeps us alive.
That's why it looks, smells, feels, sounds and tastes so good.

That's why blocking receptors is such a bad idea...
especially in the Brain (like Woody Allen says, it's my
second favorite organ).

Instead, we should be looking to sensitize our receptors,
so they don't have to work so hard to digest the food
we're eating...and secrete less insulin to do the job,
which gives you better blood sugar, less inflammation,
and less phat around the middle.

That's why it's so important to supplement with Omega-3s

They keep your cell walls flexible, your receptors responsive
so your body can do its thing with minimum
energy and maximum result...making your Mind sharper
and your waist smaller.

And your life a whole lot more interesting.

Live like You Mean it...

P.S. Fish Oil helps all the things Accomplia is supposed to
help with...obesity, blood sugar control, better HDL and
triglycerides...without any harmful side effects. Fish Oil
even helps with mood swings, irritability, depression,
anxiety ('cause it's brain food).

That's why they call Omega-3s "essential" fats. But they're
conspicuously absent from our modern diet.

Feed you Mind and Body right.
