Weight loss is one of the most popular New Year's resolutions. Many people start out the new year with the best intentions: plans to improve eating habits and determined to exercise more. Within weeks most people fall back into their old lifestyle patterns. They either get bored with their new health regimen or become frustrated because they cannot lose weight. The key to accomplishing your New Year's resolution lies in setting a realistic goal for yourself.
It saddens me as a natural health practitioner that most people choose being thin over being healthy. Many of the popular "diets" emphasize quick weight loss rather than provide nourishment to the body. Many diets also eliminate food groups which over time can lead to individuls putting on more weight than before.
Everyone's New Year's resolution should be to improve upon their health and make the new year their healthiest one yet. By following a sensible diet of whole organic foods and adopting an enjoyable exercise program most people will achieve weight loss.
The first step to a healthy new you is to gently detox your system with a good quality natural supplement. A good detox supplement should gently cleanse the colon, liver, lymphatic system and blood stream. Gently releasing toxins from the body. If you are unable to lose weight even if you eat healthy and exercise then chances are you are overloaded with toxins. Weight loss will not occur until you have cleansed your system.
After detoxing your body adhere to a healthy well balanced diet. This includes all food groups: Protein, Carbohydrates (whole grains,fruits, and vegetables)and Essential Fatty Acids. Many people avoid any form of fat because they believe "fats will make them fat". This is not the case, if you choose healthy fats. The Essentail Fatty Acids such as those found in Flax Seed oil, fish oil and avocados actually help the body metabolize fat as well as help eliminate cravings. If you crave sugary or greasy foods, it is your body's way of telling you something is missing in your diet.
Along with adhereing to a nourishing diet, it is important to find an exercise program that you enjoy. Yoga is an excellent way to improve upon your flexibility and at the same time relax the nervous system. Walking is also one of the best forms of fitness.
Improving your health also means eliminating stressors and finding time for yourself, to engage in an activity that brings pleasure to you. This may include reading a book, taking a bath, or gardening.
I hope all of you will prioritize yourself this new year, realize how important you are, and that you deserve to be the best you can be.
Happy New Year and Best Wishes in Your Quest for Health!
