Motivation to Lose Weight

Tips on How to Keep Your Body Healthy
Most people are
already aware of how to keep your body healthy. But then why are more
than ½ of Americans overweight or obese and why are lifestyle diseases
on the rise. Our society has become obsessed with the
fastest, easiest, most convenient foods; our jobs are more sedentary,
and we sit in front of the computer and TV for hours as we turn off our
brains. It’s no wonder 6 out of 10 Americans want to lose weight and
that diseases like diabetes, atherosclerosis and metabolic syndrome are
becoming more prevalent. Well if you don’t know how to keep you body
healthy or you need a refresh take a look at these tips. Read more...
The Best Reasons to Eat Healthy
Most people’s reasons to eat
healthy center around losing weight. This makes perfect sense when over ½ of us
are classified as overweight or obese and 6 out of 10 Americans want to lose
weight. Although obesity has become a huge problem within our society it is
just one of many reasons to eat healthy.
Objectively,
when eating healthy you are filling your body with vital nutrients, natural
ingredients and fewer calories. Ultimately this will lead to weight loss. But
the reasons for eating healthy shouldn’t just be about weight loss, even if
that’s your quintessential goal. There are tons of reasons to eat healthy
starting with the fact that your body will thank you for it.
The
body was not meant to consume, absorb and process the types of food that we
take in on a daily basis. And by this I mean packaged, processed and
manufactured foods that contain dyes, chemicals, and artificial or imitation
ingredients. This type of food bogs down our system making it hard to function
optimally. Just think about how the body is affected after eating these foods
for 10, 20, or 30 years. It leads to heart disease, diabetes, metabolic
syndrome and many more lifestyle diseases that have only been around for the
last half of the century. The body functions better when given naturally occurring
food ingredients
When
the body functions more optimally, so do you both physically and mentally. Therefore if every cellular process is
performed the way that it ought to , the way that it is meant to, then you will
have clearer skin, increased energy, improved mood, a better attitude, higher
immunity, better brain power, improved sleep, decreased pain, reduced gas,
shortened recovery time, and reduced risk for all diseases. These are just some
of the many reasons to eat healthy.
One of
the most effective reasons to eat healthy would have to be for increased
energy. In today’s hectic society people are run down and fatigued because of
the high sugar and processed carbohydrates that keep us running on a day to day
basis. Even if we are getting enough hours of sleep, it’s not good sleep
because our body is trying to process all the junk we put in it and do to it
each day. Once we eliminate sugar and refined grains and replace them with
healthy, natural foods you will immediately notice a jump in your energy
levels, and you will get better sleep too.
In
addition to your energy, your mood and attitude will change as well. A poor
diet filled with sugar can make you feel tired, lazy, sluggish which gives you
a bad attitude ad start to your day. Sugar highs and lows can create hormonal
changes within the body that make the day a daunting task to get through. A
clean, healthy diet keeps your hormones balanced thereby giving you a better
mood and outlook on your day. Healthy foods also give you the ability to focus
and concentrate, keeping you mentally sharp.
One of
the last reasons to eat healthy but certainly not the least is to improve one’s
immune system. By providing your body with all the essential nutrients it needs
to function and perform, you will also be boosting your body’s immunity.
Keeping a strong immune system is vital to being able to fight off infections. It’s
like being in battle without armor. A poor diet can strip the body of its
“armor” leaving you defenseless against illness. Crucial nutrients such as
vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytochemicals can be found in natural
healthy foods.
Even if
weight loss is your number one reason to eat healthy as you can see there are
plenty of other reasons to eat healthy as well. And if you ask me, those other
reasons will keep you on track to reach your goal of lose weight.
