Losing weight can be a stress in many people’s lives, but it does not have to be. There are many reasons for gaining weight. In order to lose weight, we have to understand why we gain weight. Although, there are many reasons this week I want to highlight a few.
The first area to consider that effects weight gain is your liver. The liver has at least four hundred different jobs. One of the major functions of the liver is being a detoxifier. The liver is a filter to help cleanse our blood stream from medicines, chemicals, and pollutants. The less stress your liver has, the more adequate your body can remove waste and loss weight naturally.
It is obvious, healthier food choices are important to weight control. Caffeine, sugar, trans fat and inadequate fiber all need to be reduced as much as possible. Trying to eat more protein and vegetables, while trying to minimize carbohydrates and having portion control on the fruits you eat will drastically help the situation. The nutrient’s that you can not get through good eating should be supplemented.
Stress is another factor. When you have stress it makes it hard to lose weight and very easy to gain weight. When you are stressed, you tend take in more alcohol, sugar, cigarettes, or even medications. Most healing happens during sleep and stress inhibits good sleeping patterns. This all causes a cascade effect, in turn, weight gain.
Exercise is something that helps with these stress levels and helps fight off those extra pounds. Exercise by no surprise is so good at adding strength, endorphin production, more removal of waste, burning of calories, more sleep, and improves bowel movements. It does not have to take a lot of time but a good exercise program will help turn your body around.
The last, but most important factor to losing weight naturally is having a well functioning nervous system. Your body knows how to innately help keep you at a proper weight and keep you functioning properly. Since the nervous system controls and coordinates every function in our bodies, our spines need to be strong, and well-aligned. When out of alignment, the body cannot deal with weight gain efficiently.
