Weight Loss
We all know when we are carrying an excess of body fat. We can tell by the way our clothes fit and how we feel overall. But a couple of extra pounds is different from 20 or more. Any excess weight a person carries has a harmful effect on the body, ultimately raises the risk of several serious health complications.
Excess body fat puts a severe strain on the bones and organs of the body. This condition also causes some complex changes in hormones and metabolism and ultimately increases inflammation in the body, which is a direct precursor to serious disease.
Being overweight not only impacts your physical health, but it can also have a dramatic effect on your mental health as well. It’s important to understand that taking steps now to manage your weight can have a dramatic impact on your body and prevent you from health complications in the future. Being overweight is considered a health risk for numerous diseases and increases your chances of developing one or more of them. The ten most serious health risks associated with are:
- Type 2 diabetes
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Sleep apnea
- High blood pressure
- Liver disease
- Gallbladder disease
- Certain cancers
- Pregnancy complications
- Depression
Healthy Habits that Contribute to Weight Loss
The good news is that losing even as little as 5 percent of your body weight can drastically lower your risk for these health conditions. The time-proven combination of consistent diet and exercise can help you lose weight in the most healthful way, which is slowly over time. The truth is it’s not necessary to make drastic changes to your lifestyle. Small choices made consistently, over time will have the best and longest-lasting effect.
- When it comes to exercise, shooting for at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic activity is a great target number for best effect. Something as simple as a brisk walk done just 30 minutes a day will be perfect. Once you get comfortable with that amount over time, try expanding it up to 300 minutes per week for maximum benefit. Twice a week, try and include strengthening activities like pushups or setups into your routine as well.
- The other part of the equation is eating a healthy diet. This doesn’t have to be complicated at all. In fact, just a small handful of simple changes can easily keep you on course. First off, try filling half your plate with vegetables and replace unrefined grains, like white bread, pasta, and rice with whole grains like whole-wheat bread, brown rice, and oatmeal.
- Partake in lean sources of protein, such as chicken, seafood, beans, and soy, while cutting out fried foods, fast foods, and all sugary snacks. You should also avoid sugary drinks like sodas and juice and, of course, all alcoholic beverages.
Digging Into the Important Details About Healthy Weight Loss
I’ve included articles, research, best practices, and more to help you manage a healthy weight loss routine.
The Huge Benefit of Supplements for Weight Loss
Because our bodies produce a matrix of hormones, neurotransmitters, as well as numerous body processes throughout that day, restorative sleep is best achieved when all of these factors remain in good balance with one another. Certain food supplements in addition to your diet can help encourage the body to balance these factors which can indirectly lead to a better, more restful night’s sleep. With changes in our dietary intake in the last few centuries, many necessary nutrients are easily left out of our food intake which is where supplements can help ‘take up the slack’.
Despite the advancements in dietary supplements in the last few years, unfortunately, there are still many less than reputable companies bottling up supplements that are less than effective and some that can even be counterproductive. The most important factors are that your supplements are pure, with no binders or fillers, and are produced in a fashion that allows the body to easily assimilate them for the best effect.
- No Preservatives, No Additives, No Chemicals, No GMOs, No Gluten - we keep our products clean.
- Clean label products. You get what you read on the label. No industry jargon, you get what you should be eating.
- 100% Natural ingredients. Absolutely no fillers, binders, artificial colorings, or flavorings. None.

Yoga for Weight Loss
Though yoga is one of the best overall exercises for the mind and body helping with core strength, flexibility, and stress reduction, it has a directly beneficial effect on your sleep as well.
