5 Easy and Safe Ways for Weight Loss

There is no excuse for not moving. Often, people say they have no time for physical activity, but maintaining your body weight is crucial for your health. And losing weight the right way is just as important. Being overweight or clinically obese is when you have a high calorie intake and low energy expenditure. To lose weight, you can either reduce your calorie intake, or do regular exercise at the same time. Doing exercise too is always more beneficial.

                                       

1. No processed food: Processed foods are high in sodium, fat and sugar. Processed foods is defined as any food that has been deliberately changed before we consume it. Minimally processed foods retain most of their inherent nutritional and physical properties. According to experts, the key to an overall healthy diet is to limit your intake of "ultra-processed" foods, which make up about 60% of our calories and contribute 90% of calories from added sugars, while choosing healthier, minimally processed foods that offer a variety of nutrients.

                                       

2. Hydration: On average, we should aim to drink about 2 liters of water a day to prevent dehydration. That’s the equivalent of about 8 glasses – not a lot when you break it down. Water is particularly important when you’re trying to achieve a healthy weight loss, as it improves the digestive system. In effect, drinking water helps to flush out toxins from our boy. Water also reduces fluid retention and decreases the appetite.

                                       

3. Fibre: Eating more fibre can help you lose weight, even if you don't make other changes to your diet. Fibre is super-filling. Food rich in fibre is digested more slowly than simple starches and sugars. It’s good for heart, gut and can reduce your risk of diabetes and certain cancers.

                                                  

4. Fasting: Intermittent fasting involves cyclic periods of eating and fasting. At first, people may find it hard to eat during a short window of time each day or alternate between days of eating and not eating. Though fasting is safe for most healthy, well-nourished people, it may be inappropriate for individuals who have any medical conditions. It helps our immune system get stronger, increase rate of metabolism, and helps increases the natural secretion of growth hormone, making us more energetic, more youthful.

                                       

 5. Sleep:  It’s no secret that not sleeping enough, considered to be less than 7-8 hours of sleep per night, can cause weight gain, even if you’re on a weight loss diet. People who consistently get less than six hours of sleep also show increased glucose levels and characteristics similar to diabetics, even if they are otherwise very healthy. Lack of sleep can also lead you to crave more sugary or salty foods. Sleeping helps refresh your mind and helps in decision-making processes.

Safe weight reduction takes time and effort, but by making changes in the lifestyle including proper nutrition and physical activity, you can lose and maintain your weight for the long-term.
