things that happened to the modern diet that cause weight
gain especially around the tummy, an unhealthy area to gain
weight.
• First, insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome, that affects
one in three Americans and leads to belly fat accumulation.
• Studies have shown that belly fat leads to increased
inflammation in the body thereby increasing the risk of
cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other conditions.
• In fact, waist circumference of over 40 inches in men and 36
inches in women(lower in Asian Populations), is one of the five
criteria for metabolic syndrome.

4. Third secret cause of weight
gain
• Third secret cause for weight gain and inflammation is the
ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 fatty acids used to be 1:1 but is
now at 1:16 which also increases inflammation.
• With the above 3 factors, the inflammation levels rise
significantly thereby increasing the risk of many health
problems including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and even
increased risk of certain types of cancers!
• In this context, it is important to remember that most human
diseases start with inflammation.

5. Secret cause 2 for weight gain
• Second cause of weight gain is lack of polyphenols and other
antioxidants in the diet.
• Before the modern food processing era, our diet used to have
more than 50 percent unprocessed and uncooked food items
such as colored fruits, vegetables, and other natural
ingredients that are high in antioxidants such as polyphenols.
• Studies have shown that lack of polyphenols leads to
increased inflammation in the body.
