The Secret To Weight Loss Is A Whole Body Affair

In order to lose the weight from your body, you've got to get your body working correctly. It all comes down to an elemental equation of diet, exercise and healthy habits.

While the existence of mucoid plaque is up for debate between the medical and scientific world and certain "holistic health practitioners," the bare truth of weight loss comes down to what goes into your body (diet), what comes out of your body (proper digestion), and what you do with your body (exercise).

You may very well build up harmful toxins in your body if you're not prepping the machine for prime action. Then you've got a sickly, flabby, rusty contraption that is uncomfortable and doesn't work right. This is what has caused the epidemic of obesity. To reduce weight and experience real weight loss, not just temporarily, look at what goes into your life and your body.
Excessive amounts of processed foods and white flour in your diet may cause a reduction in the body's ability to eliminate waste for a short amount of time. That can lead to bloat, discomfort, lessening of nutritional absorbency, and a lack of energy. These are also the result of improper diet in general, because of an overall lack of the right nutrients and just plain not giving your body what it requires. In turn, your feel less like exercising. Unfortunately, this is part of the cycle that leads to weight gain problems and unhealthy lifestyle.
The more natural and whole foods you include into your diet, the better. Foods higher in fiber content help the body to function optimally and minimize what the body doesn't need. The less processed your food is, the more originally occurring nutrients and vitamins you absorb from your food. The more the body gets what it needs, the less you'll crave the harmful stuff. And the fewer empty calories your body has to store, the less padding you'll have.
It's important to stay fully hydrated to help the body get rid of harmful toxins in your system. This allows your body to function properly by keeping the cells healthy. In turn, food is digested properly and the function of body systems are at their peak, leading to mush improved metabolism. Drinking sufficient water, coupled with high fiber foods, helps you feel more satisfied and less prone to cravings shortly after eating.
Fiber is vital in the digestive process. The body cannot completely break it down. As it moves through the digestive tract, it absorbs and binds intestinal residue to itself. This ensures that the unwanted waste passes from the body in short amounts of time and remains easy to pass, as well as getting all the harmful stuff your body doesn't need out of there!
The best sources for fiber are exactly what you've heard before: fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Fruits such as plums and apples provide much of their fiber from their skins, as does the potato. Leafy greens, of course, carry the fiber in their leaves. Celery contains a high amount of fiber in the stalks, which is also an excellent vehicle for tasty protein such as peanut butter.
Insufficient fiber in the digestive system can lead to all sorts of intestinal complaints, including diverticulitis, hemorrhoids, and it has been linked to bowel cancer. Refined foods are processed so highly that the vast majority of fiber content is removed, not to mention nutritional value. White Bread, white flour white sugar, and instant products are all refined foods. A quick in doesn't mean a quick out, and the high caloric intake of these products means more has to be burned.
Not enough exercise can lead to intestinal disorders and less effective digestive function. Exercise improves the activity of the intestines and keeps the body's metabolism up. So, little or no physical activity not only slows down your metabolism, it also slows digestion. No wonder the less we move around, the more we expand and sag. It only makes sense.
The body's systems are all intertwined, and you really are what you eat and what you do. Pay attention to your body from top to bottom, and be aware of the whole health value of what you eat and your daily activity level. Chances are, then, when you commit to a healthier digestive system and regular exercise, you will see regular weight loss.
