4 Ways To Losing Unwanted Weight
For Optimal Health
In our increasingly toxic 21st century world that we live in today, with obesity becoming rampant, it can seem nearly impossible to avoid aging and illness.
.
Everywhere you and I look, conflicting reports and various experts give confusing and conflicting advice on how lose the monstrous weight people seem to be piling on from fake food and fad diets, to fooling Father Time and avoid illness and disease.
Obesity is a big obstacle, and contributor to diabetes, heart disease and cancer. However, losing unwanted weight with the aim of achieving optimal health shouldn’t feel like mastering rocket science.
.
.
Below are 4 simple tips that I have discovered which you can use daily to start shifting excess weight and to feel and look better than you have in years:
.
.
1. Move That Body!
.
.
Aim to maintain muscle strength as well as fluidity of movement. These help with weight control through burning energy, both of which are important to overall health.
.
Do weight resistant exercise to lower your cortisol and insulin levels. This will help to keep optimal cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
.
Additionally, following a consistent fitness regime will reduce your risk of developing panic attacks, stress and depression.
These states often lead to indiscriminate bingeing, runaway eating habits, and poor food choices. Needless to say, these lead to chronic and debilitating health conditions which undermine your overall health and wellness.
Choose a consistent exercise program that works for you. This can include regular activities like swimming, And commit to moving your body at least 3-4 times a week for maximum health benefits. Doing so, you will start to see your body take on a different shape as you begin losing unwanted weight.

2. Excess stress can make you fat & prevent you losing unwanted weight!
.
Stress is a silent killer. As such, it puts undue strain on the heart, lungs, and vital systems of the body. It overloads our emotions and causes us to lose sleep. And leads us to binge eat.
.
Find ways to simplify your life:
- Reducing excess clutter
- Walk away from toxic people and relationship
- Focus on those things that truly make you happy and fulfilled.
- Meditate
- Get sufficient REM sleep
- Nourish and care for yourself as you would for a cherished child. You’ll feel that stress melt away, as well as your unwanted excess weight, as you become more in tune to what you truly need and desire in life.

3. Avoid Toxic Substances
You and I, when in stress, put things into our bodies that are extremely toxic to us — cigarettes, alcohol, and recreational drugs are devastating to not only relationships, but to your physical body as well.
.
Another common vice of many people is junk food as well as pre-packaged, hyper-palatable foods. These are purposely designed to taste good with the cheapest (and fake) ingredients possible. And, of course, these have little to no nutritional value.
.
.
When it comes to taking back your health, reducing your consumption of these toxic substances and choosing instead to eat clean, fresh, whole foods will improve your health and reduce the risk of illness and disease.
.
.
4. Choose weight loss and health therapists and providers you trust
Committing to lifelong wellness includes partnering with medical professionals, pharmacists, and chiropractors to optimize your wellness goals. Choosing holistic health care practitioners who hear your concerns, validate your goals, and that will customize a health plan to the minutest detail, will ensure that you are getting individualized care that works for you.
.
While taking medications or undergoing various therapies, you should be able to do so on your terms, with your specific tastes and preferences validated as you work your way to supreme health. Don’t be afraid to ask questions as part of your screening process to determine if a doctor or wellness practitioner is a perfect fit for you.
It is possible to find holistic ways to losing unwanted weight for optimal health in today’s world, but it takes commitment. Dig down deep, discover that you are worthy and deserving of having a svelte shape and optimal health, as well as taking pro-active measures to do those things necessary to achieve your weight, health and wellness goals. You are worth it!
