Fungus a Factor in Weight Battles

Fungus a Factor in Weight Battles

(ARA) - If you feel like you're losing the battle of the bulge no matter what you do, the problem may have less to do with what and how much you're eating than with what's living in the food and accumulating in the body for years: fungus.

Fungal poisons - known as mycotoxins - have been linked to an array of health problems, from diabetes to psoriasis and even obesity. Mycotoxins can be found in many foods Americans regularly eat, according to Doug A. Kauffman, a nutritionist, author and host of the "Know the Cause" television program on health.

According to Kauffman, diets that seem diametrically opposed to each other - like those that eliminate fats and ones that emphasize reduced carbohydrates - can often produce similar positive results because they are both reducing consumption of foods that contain mycotoxins. Animal fat is a source of mycotoxins, as are many types of grain, Kauffman notes. Low-fat and low-carb diets both tend to substitute mycotoxin-filled foods with others that have natural mycotoxin-fighting qualities.

"Yes, diet is important," says Kauffman. "But understanding why diet is important makes us both product consumers and healthy people."

"The average American probably doesn't think about fungus unless they've been diagnosed with athlete's foot or ring worm," notes Guy Evans of Bio Active Nutrients, a leading provider of anti-fungal remedies. "Yet the link between fungus and health problems is well documented in scientific studies. One of the most overlooked problems associated with fungal infections are their ability to thwart weight loss efforts."

Antifungal remedies, like BioActive's Antifungal Kit, enhance weight loss efforts in two ways, says Evans. First, they help clean the body of mycotoxins, thereby promoting overall improved health. Second, the remedies are most effective when implemented with dietary changes.

"Many people experience initial success with a particular diet and exercise program, and then hit a plateau," Evans says. "The Antifungal Kit helps break the plateau with dietary changes and elimination of fungal infections."

"Dietary changes and regular exercise are essential to weight loss," he adds. "You need to commit to a diet that does not feed the fungus. A two-step plan works best. First, during the active phase of your weight-loss and fungus fighting campaign, you will need to eat a diet high in protein, with little or no carbohydrates or sugar. Once you have your body back in control, you will be able to resume eating some of your favorite foods again."

Bio Active Nutrient's antifungal regimen includes detailed directions for when and how to take antifungal remedies, as well as suggestions for a diet plan. The company will also provide customers with verbal guidance on where to find the best resources for nutritional information.
