WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Losing excess weight can have multiple health benefits - physical and psychological. Most of the extra calories we eat that we do not need for immediate energy is stored as fat. Most americans wait no more than for hours between meals and snacks. So instead of being a valuable survival mechanism, the body's ability to store fat now is more likely to have a profoundly negative effect on health.

As fat accumulates, it crowds the space occupied by the internal organs. Obesity--even moderate overweight puts an undue stress on the back, legs, and internal organs, and this can eventually exacerbrate many physical problems and compromise health. Natural products can help boost metabolism, suppress appetite, and more, in order to shed unwanted weight. But losing weight should not become an obsession or treated like a fad.

Unless it is a medical necessity, weight reduction should be carefully planned. Weight loss isn't always conscientious. It can occur due to medical or psychiatric condition such as anorexia nervosa or depression.

Obesity increases the body's resistance to insulin and susceptibility to infection, and puts one at a higher risk of developing coronary artery disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, gall-bladder disease, kidney disease, stroke, and other serious health problem that can result in premature death.

Obese persons suffer psychologically as well as physically, because our society tends to equate beauty, intelligence, and even success with thinness.

The most common causes of obesity are poor diet and/or eating habits and a lack of exercise. Other factors that can lead to obesity include glandualar malfunctions, diabetes, hypoglycemia, emotional tension, boredom, and simple love of food. Obesity has also been linked to food sensitivities and/or allergies. Food your body cannot use or that is a poison to your system is stored in the tissues and causes water retention. When there is inadequate intake of certain essential nutrients, fat is not easily or adequately burned and can accumulate in the body.

At least one third of Americans are 20 percent or more overwaight. Americans today are fatter, more stressed out, and no likelier to get regular exercise than we were ten years ago. National surveys estimate that at any time, 25 to 50 percent of adult Americans are on some sort of diet, and we spend more than $30 billion each year on diet aids and remedies. Unfortunately, even those who lose weight often put it back on. It is estimated the two-thirds of those who lose weight regain the lost pounds within three to five years.

• Eat lots of fresh fruits and an abundance of vegetables. Have one meal each day that consists entirely of vegetables and fruits. Use low-calorie vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, green beans, kale, lettuce, onions, radishes, spinach and turnips. Low-calorie, low-carbohydrate fruits include apples, cantalope, grapefruit, strawberries, and watermelons. The following are are higher in calories and should be consumed in moderation: bananas, cherries, corn, figs, grapes, green peas, hominy, pears, pineapple, sweet potatoes, white rice, and yams.

• Avoid caffeine, butter, and whole milk.

• Eat as much raw foods as possible. If foods are heated, they should be baked, steamed, or boiled. Never consume fried or greasy foods.

• Do not consume sweets such as soda, pastries, pies, cakes, doughnots, or candy. Omit all forms of refined sugar (including white sugar, brown sugar, and corn sweetner) from the diet. Sugar trigger the release of insulin, which then activites enzymes that promote the passage of fat from the bloodstream into the fat cells.

• Do not consume alcohol in any form, including bear and wine. Alcohol not only add calories, but it inhibits the burning of fat from fat deposits. It can also interfere with your judgment, so you may find yourself eating things you ordinarily would not.

• Use extra fiber daily. Take fiber with a large glass of liquid one-half hour before meals.

• Be sure to get regular aerobic exercise, such as walking, walking, bicycling, or swimming, and do exercises for strength and flexibility, such as yoga or strengthening exercise.
