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.

An extra pound around the mid section increases the risk of heart attack because extra pounds put strain on the heart. The heart is a muscle and the harder a muscle has to work, the more strain the muscle endures. A person who is overweight will put more stress on his heart and therefore cause the heart muscle to weaken over time.

The concept is easy for the overweight person and that is to burn more calories than those that are consumed. Think of a savings account that one makes several deposits to but makes no withdrawals. The result is a surplus of money, which is great, but no one wants a surplus of fat.

Burn more calories than those that are taken in and the body will operate from a deficit, which unlike a bank account, is good. There is an easy way to cutting back on calories rather than trying to count each calorie in each meal. Use a small serving plate and limit intake to one serving.

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.

Do not eat in front of the television because watching TV interferes with the natural feeling of fullness. Do not eat listening to music because music also interferes with the body's response to eating. Eat in a quiet area and stop eating when the body is full.

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.
