The Fast Oxidizer

Recognizing the Fast Oxidizer:

1. The fast oxidizer breaks down carbohydrates very rapidly.

2. There is an increased amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the blood stream.

3. Fast oxidizers generally needs a high protein diet. Proteins take longer to break down and hence a high protein diet controls hunger. A pure fast oxidizer may well be a complete carnivore.

4. All foods are oxidized or burned up fairly rapidly, therefore may be hungry often during the day. The fast oxidizer generally must eat at least three meals a day and sometimes even more.

5. The ash created by the burning of protein is acidic and therefore the blood becomes more acidic, that is, the pH of the blood decreases. At its extreme a metabolic acidosis may be created.

6. The Parasympathetic nervous system is more dominant in fast oxidizers. Stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system causes increase hydrochloric acid production, increased motility of the digestive system and release of pepsin and other digestive enzymes into the stomach to aid in digestion.

7. The fast oxidizer is more likely to suffer from problems where there is lack of stimulation of one or another gland or organ. Conditions such as: a low thyroid, calcium imbalance, allergic asthma, stomach ulcers, hay fever, excess mucous production, slower heart rate, low blood pressure and reactive hypoglycemia. These problems are also related to the speed of metabolism and the hyperglycemic action of adrenaline.

8. The fast oxidizer is more likely to suffer from diarrhea then constipation.

9. May be prone to fainting or episodes of dizziness.

10. The fast oxidizer may be more prone to osteoporosis and inflammations of the joints such as traumatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and gout.

11. There is an increased potential of addiction to sugar and therefore to weight gain and even binge eating.

12. The fast oxidizer may experience increase intestinal motility, acidic stomach, acid indigestion or gastric reflux.
