Lose Weight By Exercise And Optimum Food

By Mildred I Bailey

Right now in the United States obesity and being overweight has reached almost epidemic proportions. Our lifestyles are inactive and we eat too many nutritionally empty foods in the Standard American Diet. We don't work out enough and we eat too much.

All through history our bodies evolved in such a way as to ensure continued existence. This means that our bodies naturally preserve energy and fat to shield us in times of famine. The problem today is that the only starvation we ever actually come across is the self-imposed one that we get when we go on restrictive diets.

However, our bodies do not know the difference and our metabolisms end up slowing down and conserving all of the energy that it can. That is one explanation why it gets harder and harder to lose weight with every subsequent diet.

A big part of the answer to this predicament may be to just stop dieting and start eating. Begin working with your biology instead of against it by discontinuing the silly diets and eating like you are supposed to.

The answer encompasses more than just eating however. The Standard American Diet or the apropos acronym SAD is to a great extent contributing to our problems with obesity and overweight. Our bodies were never designed to eat the unwholesome, nutritionally void and processed foods that are so profuse in our culture.

Our bodies were designed to eat the nourishing, healthy and organic foods that are found abundantly in nature. Nature provides the foods that are optimal for our bodies. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains and even fish and lean meats. The less processed and the more natural the food the better it is for our bodies.

As humans we were also designed to move and keep fit. None of our ancestors led a sedentary life. They were always up and around, moving about in the course of living. If you want to accomplish optimum fitness including losing weight you need to add in both exercise and an optimum nutrition diet.

So if you want to combat obesity and lose weight for good not to mention create optimal health start eating the healthiest foods in nature and begin an exercise program. Your body will thank you and you will see the results on your bathroom scale. - 17274
