Losing Weight will Improve your Life.
Losing
Weight will Improve your Life.
A lot of people talk about whether or not to
lose weight. On one side there is the mainstream media with its usual campaigns
full of skinny girls and TV-shows about getting
thin. On the other side there is a growing encouragement to be happy with who
you are.
Some say that weight loss can
improve
"quality of life". For many, the only goal of losing weight is to
look like the traditional idea of beauty. For others, the concern is self
esteem. But quality of life is the real reason to think about losing weight.
It is important to examine the potential benefits
and see if losing weight will actually improve your life, or if it will have no
effect.
1) Having a lot
of weight can cause problems anywhere. An ‘apple’ shape can be especially
problematic. The fat in your belly area is associated with the largest risk of heart disease. But don’t be afraid, it's also
the easiest fat to get rid of. In addition to reducing the risk of heart problems,
losing your belly will make it easier to fit into clothing and may make daily
activities easier.
2) One of the largest problems with
weight is that it it makes the body work harder. If you're having trouble
climbing those stairs or walking long distances, then shedding a few pounds
might just make it easier to do everyday activities.
3) Another problem is that body weight
distributes differently from person to person, so it is very difficult for a
designer to come up with an outfit that fits everyone well. That’s why it can be difficult sometimes to find clothes.
4) If your doctor has suggested that
you have or are at risk of diabetes, heart disease, or other serious issues
because of your weight, then the benefits of weight loss are quite clear.
5) Junk food seems filling when you
first buy it, but potato chips, for example, contain mostly air in the bag. Healthy
eating will not get you out of debt, but it could leave a few more dollars in
your pocket.
6) Self-esteem is an internal issue,
not external, and attempting to get skinny for this reason often leads to
eating disorders. Learn to love yourself and pursue a high quality of life.
Once you really love and value yourself you’ll automatically want to improve
your physical health and maintain a well-groomed appearance.

Weight loss tips
Obesity is one of the biggest
problems nowadays. Almost every third American tries to find out weight loss
tips or advice. So it is important to know ways of losing weight and how to get
rid of extra pounds. Below are some tips that
you can help you:
1. Practice Mindful Eating - Recently it was revealed that individuals can still lose weight even if they eat out.
Researchers observed healthy women who ate out frequently. The focus of this program was on preventing weight gain and not weight loss. Test findings revealed that participants in the intervention group lost more weight, had a lower percentage of fat and a lower average daily caloric intake, and experienced increased self-efficacy in managing diet when eating out.
So, we can say that you can eat in moderation and still lose weight. Depriving yourself of your favorite food may no longer be necessary if you reduce your normal serving to a smaller portion so your body can burn it faster and avoid weight gain.
2. Learn to handle stress – Stress is found to increase the chances of obesity. Researchers studied the causes of and solutions to obesity in employees from a manufacturing facility in New York. The study looked at 3000 professional male employees and discovered that those in more stressful positions had a BMI unit of weight more than those in less demanding jobs.
Also, stressed people are likely to have excess abdominal fat with higher levels of cortisol, a hormone related to stress. Studies in 2000 have shown that cortisol can affect fat distribution by causing it to be stored.
3. Drink plenty of water - Recent studies have now shown that drinking water is an effective weight loss strategy. In a study, it was discovered that dieters who drank water before eating three times a day over the course of roughly three months lost five pounds more than those who did not have increased water consumption.
Moreover, it is suggested that six to eight glasses of water be taken daily to maintain the water content of the bile.
4. Get a sufficient amount of sleep - Not getting enough sleep may increase your chances of becoming overweight in the long run. A study revealed that the brain's response to food is more active after one night of sleep loss.
Insufficient sleep appears to be a problem that plagues modern society. Being able to get at least eight hours a night may be crucial in maintaining health and avoiding cardiovascular and weight-related conditions.
5. Exercise your way to health - If you're overweight, losing weight and improving your fitness may be the best combination for health maintenance. The study discovered that people who kept up or improved their fitness levels lowered their risk of high cholesterol, high blood pressure and their risk to metabolic syndrome.
At the onset, people who are overweight often fail to notice their weight loss because they get hungrier and start eating more. This shouldn't discourage them, according to Dr. Lee. What is essential is to use exercise to get fit, and one way to decipher progress is to see how you feel when going through your exercise routine. If it's getting easier, you are getting fitter.

The Benefits Of Rice
Rice is an integral part of
any healthy diet. This food can be an excellent source of complex carbohydrates
and complements protein alternatives to saturated fat-laden meat dishes.
Rice is the backbone of almost every diet. In Asian
countries each person consumes about 300 pounds a year. Americans eat about 21
pounds per person, per year.
Americans got used viewing rice as a side dish to a
meat-centered diet. On the contrary, Asians view rice as the focus of the meal.
If you increase the amount of rice and decrease the amount of meat served, it
will help to reduce saturated fat intake.
Brown rice is the whole grain with only the outer husk
removed. It is tan in color and has a chewy texture and a nutlike flavor. It is
higher in protein than other types of rice.
Brown rice provides three times the fiber of white
rice and is an excellent source of manganese and a good source of selenium,
magnesium and many B vitamins. By the way, the fiber and selenium in brown rice
may work together to reduce colon cancer risk. Also researches showed that rice
bran oil can reduce blood cholesterol levels. Brown rice is useful for postmenopausal
women. If it is eaten daily it can help slow the progression of heart disease.
In addition, rice helps prevent weight gain, and eating whole grains is correlated
with a lower body weight. So the health benefits of rice are amazing.

Foods That Can Boost Your Metabolism
There
are certain foods that have a strong metabolism boosting impact when we eat them. Some of the calories in such food even are burned off just to digest them. This magic process is called dietary induced thermogenesis.
The following list of foods speed up the rate at which your body burns calories.
The following list of foods speed up the rate at which your body burns calories.
1)
Low-Fat Dairy such as milk, yogurt and cottage cheese is very good for weight loss.
Recent studies prove that if you don’t get enough calcium it can make your body release
calcitrol. This
hormone causes us to store fat. Therefore, a consumption of low-fat dairy helps
to burn fat faster.
2)
Berries
are high in fiber, that can
keep you full and satisfied all day on little calories. Strawberries,
blackberries and blueberries are all high-fiber berries. A 1 cup serving of raspberries
contains 8 grams of fiber and only 60 calories!
3)
Citrus
Fruits such
as oranges,
grapefruit, lemon and
limes help metabolize fat faster and make
losing weight less difficult. You only need 60 milligrams of vitamin C a day to meet your body's needs,
but raising your daily intake to 500 milligrams can boost your fat burning potential
during exercise by 39 percent.
4)
Green
tea
contains caffeine that
can help your body burn more calories while at rest. Caffeine speeds up the
heart rate and frees fatty acids that are stored in the body and it makes them more readily available for
energy use. By the way,
green tea contains a compound that may help to boost your metabolism.
5)
Water
helps to rid the body of toxins and chemicals that may be slowing down your
metabolism. Drinking
water also speeds
up weight loss. Make sure that you are starting your day with a big glass of
water and don’t forhet to drink
it throughout
the day.
