Summary of the speech by nicotine recovery guide, Traveler Farzad:
Hi friends, I’m Farzad, a nicotine traveler.
When it comes to overweight, here’s something important to know:
Our blood pressure needs to be strong enough to get blood to every part of the body. But when we’re carrying extra weight and fat builds up around our blood vessels, that pressure goes way up. It’s like the heart has to work extra hard to push blood through.
This extra strain can cause something called valve dilation—basically, the heart valves stretch out more than they should. Why? Because the heart, like any muscle, grows when it’s under pressure—just like when someone works out and builds their biceps. So the heart gets larger from the extra effort, but when it enlarges too much, its valves can become loose.
When that happens, blood doesn’t pump as efficiently, and the heart has to struggle even more. That constant strain significantly increases the risk of heart failure. So, for anyone dealing with extra weight this is a serious alarm.
Now imagine someone who’s not only overweight but also a smoker—a combination that can seriously impact the heart and body. Smoking thickens the blood, making it harder for it to flow. At the same time, our cells need oxygen and energy to burn food properly. Normally, oxygen is delivered to cells through the bloodstream. But in a smoker’s body, red blood cells often carry carbon dioxide instead of oxygen.
This means the cells can't burn nutrients effectively, and as a result, the body starts producing lactic acid. When lactic acid builds up, it makes you feel tired, sluggish, and drained. That’s why smokers often feel constantly exhausted. They have trouble falling asleep, wake up feeling like they’ve been hit by a truck, and struggle to get out of bed in the morning.
We need to keep in mind that the human body is still considered youthful up to around age 50. "Youthful" in the sense that the body is still capable of regeneration and repair—and with good care, we can live well into our 80s, 90s, or even beyond. But sometimes, people act like they’ll only be around for another ten years, so they stop caring about their health entirely.
From a physical standpoint too, overweight takes a real toll. It often leads to a loss of body shape and form. In truth, people with excess weight may lose their natural physical beauty. There is a saying in Persian reading God is beautiful and loves beauty—and it's only natural that feeling attractive is a source of joy for any balanced person. Looking good uplifts our mood. It's part of our nature. But being overweight tends to reduce or even erase that beauty. It can also accelerate aging—both in the way we feel and the way we look. So, when it comes to appearance as well, overweight can be deeply damaging.
Modern industrial life—with its fast pace, machine-driven routines, and increasingly sedentary lifestyles—has played a big role in the rising rates of obesity and excess weight. Added to that the widespread use of processed, non-organic foods filled with preservatives—foods that not only lack nutritional value but are also hard to digest and packed with empty calories. These kinds of foods often lead to weight gain and can even trigger various health problems over time.
According to the DST method and the teachings of Mr. Dezhakam, there are several important points we need to keep in mind when it comes to managing our weight and finding a healthy balance. One key thing to understand is that being overweight isn’t always caused by overeating. More often, it’s the result of poor nutrition and irregular eating habits.
I’ll share a few of those key points next.
The first step toward reaching a balanced weight is to buy a scale and keep it at home then make a habit of weighing yourself daily. The second important step is to eat meals at regular, set times. The human body is incredibly smart. If it senses that food is coming late, it starts storing anything you eat as fat in anticipation of a delay. Another helpful tip is to eat a salad about 30 minutes before lunch and dinner, a simple one with lettuce, cucumber, and tomato. And don’t forget: chewing slowly and eating mindfully is just as important. As Mr. Dezhakam emphasizes, we don’t eliminate entire meals or food groups from our diet. Instead, we focus on avoiding disorder and inconsistency in our eating habits. One more point he highlights: including a boiled egg for breakfast, without bread and with very little salt.
Based on my own experience, there’s a key moment during a meal, right after you stop feeling hungry but just before you feel completely full. That small window, just a few bites or spoonfuls, makes a big difference. Skipping those last few bites can really help with weight balance. Also, for those who engage in a lot of mental work, be mindful, your body might start demanding more food, so it’s important to stay aware about this fact. And one last tip: drinking D-sap before breakfast is a powerful fat-burning aid.
