GOUT OBESITY AND DIABETES : -


Gout, Diabetes and Obesity Present civilisation has brought on itself many disorders due to its complete lack of understanding of the necessity of body movement. Human body is made for vigorous use. This use is made with the help of muscles which form the single largest tissue in the well used body. Not only muscles are the largest tissue in the body but they only second to liver in their versatility to metabolise various chemicals put in human body by any route. To use a unscientific word, vitality of muscles is dependant on their correct use. The muscles loose their mass, along with their enzyme content and thus their metabolic ability if they are not used properly and adequately. The muscles thus make or break the human body. We humans consume mainly three important dietary components namely proteins, fats and carbohydrates. With declining use of muscles and increasing consumption of the above mentioned foods three disorders are on the rise which is a good news for the manufacturers of medicines to "treat" these disorders. These disorders need proper management and not treatment. Protein consumption by a sedentary body leads to gout. Fat consumption by such a body leads to obesity and Carbohydrate consumption leads to diabetes. There need not be an absolute overload of the three components of food. A relative overload is sufficient to cause these disorders. Treating these disorders without properly correcting the muscle disuse is a grave error committed quite commonly and accepted as inevitable by a large number of people due to a "social agreement" that these things are bound to happen after forty or fifty years of living and that "treatment" is going to be a lifelong affair or in other words "till death makes us apart". One of the best ways of staying away from these disorders is to use all the muscles in the body in a way so as to improve their mass relevant to the individuals body type. This does not mean one should become an ugly looking body builder but nonetheless one should activate all the muscles in the body through proper weight training. We now know the actions of all the muscles in the body. There are reasonably good work stations available in almost all the cities of the world. Training muscles involves contracting that muscle with increasing strength comfortably and without pain. The workout must be gradually progressive. The results for all the three disorders are astonishing to say the least. However the drawback of this line of management from "Consumer Medicine" point of view is that the patient becomes independent of the doctor, he or she stops consuming drugs almost immediately, he or she does not undergo complications which further generate "business" in short they stop being consumers of various support systems developed by modern medicine to "help" them come back to the mirage of normalcy, which they never it being a mirage.
