Diet And Exercising For Weight Loss
Best way to lose weight:https://www.digistore24.com/redir/348520/markus875/
Obesity is now being called an epidemic in the health community. In fact, it
will soon be the leading cause of preventable death in the United States,
even ahead of cigarette smoking. Obesity leads to type two diabetes, high
blood pressure, heart disease or stroke and even an increased risk of cancer.
With all of these health risks, as well as the general improvement in the
quality of life that can occur, losing weight is one of the best things that you
can do for yourself.
No matter what we would like to believe, there simply isn’t a magic solution
to losing weight. The body will shed excess fat when it needs more calories
to function through the demands you place on it in a given day than the
amount of calories that you feed it. It’s that simple. So, in order to lose
weight, you need to decrease the number of calories that you eat as well as
increase the amount that you burn.
There is a wide range of options to choose from when looking for a weight
loss program. All of them often spend a lot of time explaining what to eat, in
what amounts and even at what times or in what combinations. But few of
them emphasize the importance of exercise – not just for losing weight, but
for your general health and wellbeing. Exercise is vital when trying to lose
weight for several reasons:
First, as you start to eat less, your metabolism will slow down somewhat.
Exercising helps to elevate your metabolism back to an efficient level.Second,
as mentioned, exercise burns more calories so that you can lose weight faster
and stay motivated in your efforts.Third, exercise actually releases
endorphins, chemicals that keep your mood elevated.
Exercise doesn’t have to mean spending hours at the gym or straining
through exhausting workouts. In fact, in order for you to stick with it on the
long run, exercising should be something that you enjoy. Start by increasing
your activity level in an overall way. Take the stairs when you can. Park
further from the mall door when you go shopping. Go for a walk in the park
or through a neighborhood you love and bring a dog or a friend along for
company. Take dance or martial arts lessons.
Once you become more active in general, you’ll find it easier and more
natural to move into regular exercise. Which you’ll need to do eventually in
order to get regular, noticeable health benefits. You need to raise your heart
rate to a fat burning level and keep it there for at least 20 minutes, 3 times
or more a week. However, if you don’t want to go to a gym, there are other
options. Videos and DVDs are now available in all kinds of exercise types.
That way you can change your routine whenever you want so that you don’t
get bored with what you’re doing. Try a range of aerobics, kickboxing, yoga,
or pretty much any activity you want right in the comfort of your own home.
If you have physical limitations that would keep you off from exercising, you
can still find a way to increase your activity level. Water aerobics is a
wonderful option for those who have joint problems or limited mobility
because it relieves the pressure on your body that your weight provides. But
you still get the resistance to challenge your muscles from the water. There
are even classes and videos available that let you exercise in a seated
position.
Whatever kind of exercise you choose, it’s important to stay motivated and
keep it fun. Try gathering a group together to make it a social event. Or get a
pedometer, a device that tracks how far you walk, and see how many miles
you can walk a week. Make a competition amongst your friends or family
members and treat the winner with something special (not food related!).
Make the experience of exercising something that you look forward to, and it
will soon become a regular part of your healthier lifestyle.
