Weight Loss Tips for a Healthier Lifestyle

Jan. 7, 2013 - PRLog -- “Eat plenty of vegetables, avoid red meats and drink lots of water”, is the common quick recipe we all know about getting started to lose the extra weight we’re carrying around.  If we add to this a regular exercise routine, we’ll lose even more weight.

Trying to lose weight by just following the popular magazine diet recipes and going to any gym that is close by our home or office is not enough. You may drop the weight and start to look better but it does not mean that you’re feeling the benefits. We have to start by having the right and positive mind set as to why we need to be in shape. Is not always about losing weight, is about a complete life changing decision to improve the way we live and the way we feel.

As we improve the way we feel, looking great is just a bonus. Countless studies have proven that staying physically active on a regular basis within an exercise routine that we can commit to, will bring positive long-lasting results such as:

Increases your life expectancy percentage
Increases your chances of living a healthier
Helps protect you from developing heart disease and stroke or its precursors, high blood pressure and undesirable blood lipid patterns
Helps protect you from developing certain cancers, including colon and breast cancer, and possibly lung and endometrial (uterine lining) cancer
Helps prevent type 2 diabetes (what was once called adult-onset diabetes) and metabolic syndrome - a constellation of risk factors that increases the chances of developing heart disease and diabetes.
Helps prevent the insidious loss of bone known as osteoporosis
Reduces the risk of falling and improves cognitive function among older adults
Relieves symptoms of depression and anxiety and improves mood
Prevents weight gain, promotes weight loss, and helps keep weight off after weight loss
