Energy needs and body weight, Part I

The energy management system of our body never heard of the industrial revolution. The biological status quo of our body is still the same like it was 10.000 years ago, when we were hunters and gatherers. A hunter must be aware of lacking hunting fortune over a period of maybe even weeks.

So mother nature invented a really miraculous mechanism. The regulatory circuit responsible to help the system to survive will turn adjusting screws to keep the system – our body – running in a state of power capacity without food intake.

The only catalyst the system needs is H2O – a dipolar solution medium to keep chemical reaction going- Better known as water.

Nevertheless our body will not forget the existence of periods with low or no energy supply in form of food. The system becomes wide wide awake listening to any prognostic symptom indicating a forthcoming period of low external energy supply – food. Every single body in the world undergoes this learning process.

So if a body witnesses a low supply of energy at the age of about twenty something, maybe we were students with a lot of hopes and no money in our pockets and had to survive for a while on roasted rice, - the body takes a livelong lasting record of this period.

Maybe in our late 30s we slim down for a purpose our mind is set to achieve for let´s say 29 kilogram.

The body takes the record of this. The logic conclusion of the body: My owner lives in an environment with low energy supply from time to time.

The body says: We have urgently to take care of any incoming calorie to store it for the next hunger period in form of body fat.
