A Natural Weight Loss Program To Bring You Health And Happiness

     Two of the most important things people want in life are health and happiness. Self-improvement is a major way to optimise both. The old saying is, ''If you have your health, you have everything'', because the ability and motivation to do almost everything depend on feeling well. Medical experts agree that a major key to achieve good health is maintaining your proper weight. Also, in this image conscious world, looking fit and trim, which may mean weight loss, is a key to feeling good about yourself and earning the respect of the people in your life.

Weight loss may be difficult but can yield amazing benefits. There are many different facets to weight loss including calorie intake, amount of exercise, and proper hydration, but one factor is often overlooked. If you are constipated, even if you do everything else right, you will not be making the optimal use of your efforts. Keeping your digestive system regular will help the pounds cut off. You will also avoid feeling bloated and uncomfortable.

What can you do to optimise this weight loss tool? Eating plenty of fiber, dealing properly with stress, and drinking lots of water allows your digestive system to function properly. When waste products do not move quickly through the intestines, a person's susceptibility to illnesses increases. Colon cancer, irritable bowl syndrome, Crohn's disease, and diverticulitis are just a few diseases of the bowel that are associated with constipation. In addition, the poisons and parasites found in human waste can negatively affect your health.

Constipation occurs when waste stays in the large intestine too long. Too much water absorbing from it, causes the focal matter to become hard and difficult to pass. Eating fruits, vegetables, and grains (which contain fiber) helps in maintaining proper elimination; eating highly processed foods such as pizza and ice cream does not. Drinks containing caffeine and alcohol can lead to dehydration, a cause of constipation, along with certain medicines and supplements such as calcium, iron, antidepressants, and diuretics, preventing weight loss. The good news is that there are many high fiber supplements that, when added to your diet, can help keep things moving.

Another way to encourage proper elimination is to exercise daily. Focus on keeping your body moving. When sitting at the computer, perhaps you can put on ankle weights and stretch your legs. When you are in a meeting, you can tighten and relax your stomach muscles. (No one will know you are losing weight while you are sitting there.) Try to set aside twenty minutes a day for some vigorous activity like running or weight lifting.

Do you listen to your body? When you first feel the urge to use the restroom, go and do so. Don't think of this as wasted time. What comes out of your body is as important as what goes in. Try to relax, breathe deeply or read, but give your body the time it needs to do its job. This is time invested in your health. Be thankful that all sorts of germs, toxins and parasites are being eliminated. As strange as it sounds, this is a form of self-improvement and a major factor in weight loss.

Do you want a successful life? The daily choices you make affect your health and happiness. Small changes can make a dramatic difference in your plan for self-improvement. Focus on creating new habits, such as eating an apple a day or walking when you talk on the phone. Consider using a natural herbal colon-cleansing product. A healthy intestine helps create a healthy body and optimises your chances for weight loss and happiness.
