Weight Loss Is An Important Factor For Good Health

By Wiliam Merchant


Weight loss not only helps one look better in a suit of clothes, but is also important for good health. Carrying extra pounds can add years to one's appearance because fat around the face makes the face look more rotund. The person who is worried about looking order can look years younger by dropping the extra pounds around the mid section. The person who wants to live longer should also consider dropping those extra mid section pounds.

The heart is a muscle and when the heart is strained, the heart becomes overworked and is subject to failure. The overweight person puts undue pressure on his heart muscle because the heart has to work harder when the body has layers of fat to contend with. No one wants a weak heart and the overweight person can improve his heart health by losing those extra pounds.

In order to lose weight, one needs to live by a simple concept. The simple concept is burning off more calories each day than one consumes each day. Think of the body as a bank account where the deposits are represented by the food consumed and the withdrawals represent calories burned.

If our bodies take in more calories that are expended, a surplus is created and that surplus turns into fat. Counting calories is not easy and one can become so caught up in counting calories that one will become frustrated after a few weeks or even a few days and go back to his old way of eating. It is better to use practical ways to cut calories than counting every calorie in every meal.

If one is used to eating off a large dinner plate then there is a good chance that more calories that necessary are being consumed. Use a smaller serving plate to cut down on calories and the body will not even notice that a lower number of calories are being consumed. Try to concentrate on the taste of food and not the amount of food consumed.

Avoid the television during mealtime because the TV interferes with the body's feeling of fullness. As long as the TV is on one will continue to eat and those extra calories will be converted into extra pounds. Avoid listening to music because music will interfere with the body's feeling of fullness.

Weight loss is an important factor in a health lifestyle. Overweight people are more prone to heart disease and other serious health problems that can be avoided by dropping those extra pounds. The simple concept to keep in mind is to burn more calories each day than what is consumed.
