Basic Healthy Weight Knowledge

Obesity is now an epidemic, so says WHO. No longer a problem in the USA, but worldwide, policy makers are now considering how to control this public health problem. The world must be having a lot of food surplus, right? Still there are people who are starving. Bad food distribution issues right there to be discussed in another article.

For now, let us consider how to manage our weight in a daily basis. We need basic knowledge to help us maintain optimum health.

Since obesity is not confined to a certain age group, no formula for maintaining weight can be applied to everyone.

Younger age groups, teens and below, require variety of food more than counting calories. Their bodies need to store up nutrients and minerals, like calcium, that are to be used by their bodies right into their old age. Food intake is actually encourage for this age group, the problem though is in high calorie food choices. It is usually just bread and meat: pizza, burgers, pies, cakes and the like. If the same volume of food is diversified to include fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains and juices, these teens and kids will find their bodies becoming stronger and ready for adventure, exercising need not be forced. A healthy body will seek out activity. The right hormones will move these kids out of couches and seek sunshine and sweat. Parents have the right control and influence on food intake for the younger members of the family. This requires time and effort though, as oppose to simply ordering pizza home delivery. But the effort will benefit their family well into the future.

Young adults needs to consider their lifestyle in considering the right meals and food for themselves. Entering adulthood, they now have more control of their time. Earning on their own  now transfers the responsibility of feeding their body  to themselves. They can no longer rely on their parents for food choices. Also, they now have the responsibility to choose the activities to engage in on their free time. The overall activity they have chosen for themselves and their food choices will now define the body they will have and keep till they retire. These choices are like building blocks of a pyramid that is their body. It will either be strong or weak.  Obesity at this stage merit a consultation with an endocrinologist. Perhaps the person has some immune or hormonal disorder. Better to catch it at an early stage. If everything is okey, great news. Perhaps a personal trainer will help you keep the weight off, if you cannot join a tennis club or the like.

At middle age, their lifestyle choices will now show on their bodies. They are either easily ill or strong. Obese or  healthy. At this stage, some habits are ingrained and may require strong determination to reprogram.  
Obesity though is not the same for everyone. Meaning, the BMI chart may not be true for certain body types. Some body types are naturally curvy. It is fighting genetics to try to keep to a slim or normal profile. If you have this body type, enjoy and love it. Nobody will enjoy it more than you. Of course, try to keep you weight at its lowest if you can. And if you really want to, with your weight down, you will still be curvy and sensual.

 

Now, for you who really needs to shed some weight, do not despair. Despair will chain you to food, the quick and easy way to feel good. When you look at yourself in the mirror, recognize your old self. See what you are now. Remember what you once was that you want to regain. See the body as you see the ingredients of a meal. Add the right activity and food intake, the body you want will be yours, as the meal you wanted is done by your hands. The body is not you. The will and actions, that is where you are. Stay with yourself. The body will follow.

 

Your body maybe really weak and needs some time to “cook” to your liking. Waiting only makes the meal more pleasurable. You did not roast a turkey for a less than an hour waiting. You know what to expect and prepared for it. Patience is sweet, delicious.

 

If you need some supplements to make it easier for your body to regain its strength, have them. Spirulina, barley grass, wheat grass, chlorella, these can help. Taken by themselves as capsules, tablets or powder to add to your protein or juice drink will really boost your immunity, strength and aid in losing excess fat. These are high protein plant based food that are always great to add to daily meals.

 

I find keeping no schedule and dieting timetable is better in losing weight. Sometimes, I just find myself gaining some pounds. This usually happens when I have been slack about my spirulina and juices. Without spirulina, I tend to eat more. Once I take back spirulina and take a liter of juice, canned or fresh, in a day, I usually shed an inch off my waist within 2 days. It is when I feel light that the urge to binge on food usually sneak in, especially if I have been busy before a cycle.

So feel you body. It needs vary as your lifestyle change. Have enough rest as well as exercise or physical activity. //pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js

Losing Weight Without Dieting

While Having the Energy All Day

So those extra pounds has been gaining on you and slowing you down? You would really love to work in the gym to take them off but, sadly, do not have the luxury of time. Dieting won’t work for you, either, since you need to eat for the crazy workload daily.

What to do? Your friends has long surrendered to the reign of the bulge; but not you.

And now, lucky you, here are easy cheat codes to lose weight without clocking in time at the gym nor self deprivation of food. Yes, this is so true you might want to hide this article while reading.

These are the basics, easy and attainable tips. Perhaps, you would need a timer to keep you reminded of a few tweaks on your daily schedule.

1. Eat breakfast. This has been said before, but you really need to do this. Also, for this to work more effectively, breakfast has to be your heaviest meal of the day. If this means you have to wake earlier, you should do so. If you are the kind who would really need a major eating habits overhaul for this (you sleep late, with dinner your heaviest meal with friends or family, then eating nothing for breakfast, maybe just coffee), you can slowly transition to a heavy breakfast by taking a thick green smoothie for breakfast instead of coffee. What has been testified by happy slimmers again and again is the addition of about 10 grams or more of spirulina into your smoothie. You can add your fave flavors to the mix, fruits or chocolate. Fresh fruits is better, like bananas and cranberries. Bananas is very filling and is said to combat depression while cranberries contain antioxidant; that is anti-aging goodness for you. Oh, even if you eat breakfast now, add the spirulina smoothie to your meal for that extra energy boost plus the healthy dose of nutrients and protein that will increase your metabolism, jump starting weight control.

2. Drink loads of cold fresh fruits juices. If you cannot easily get hold of fresh fruit juices, canned natural fruit juices will do. What is important is that the juice must be cold, as that will make your body burn more calories, and that it contains Vit C. Vitamin C helps burn fat and tightens your skin, preventing that saggy look. Other days, you could drink up cold green tea or tisane.

3. Take 2 capsules of 1000mg Omega 3 oil capsules half an hour before lunch or dinner. This will make you feel satisfied with your meal faster than usual, and most likely make you eat less. Omega 3 is also great for the brain, heart, joints and help relieve other inflammatory conditions you may be bravely suffering silently. A better choice would be, of course, Masa Squalene. You will gain oxygen optimization, better concentration, better eye sight and prevention of infections. Masa Squalene also has natural antibiotic and anti-viral properties.

Give these tips a week or more to see how it benefits you. And if you feel better in some way, continue with it. Soon, lo! and behold, your friends will wonder what is different about you. You should be losing weight slowly and naturally with this. You will also have the energy to last for 12 hours on your feet!

You can increase your spirulina intake for more energy. Spirulina can be in powder or tablet form, which you may also take before lunch and dinner. Look for pure, 100% spirulina products, without binders or extenders. A good spirulina substitute would be chlorella. Personally, I love spirulina.

You can buy Masa Squalene at this store or at this store.
