These days obesity and being overweight has reached almost epidemic proportions. Our deskbound lifestyle along with the ingestion of what is referred to as the “Standard American Diet” has affected our waistlines and our bathroom scales in ways that are not welcome and definitely not beneficial. We eat too much and we work out too little.
Our bodies have evolved throughout times gone by to keep us from famine. That means that our bodies unsurprisingly preserve fat and energy to keep us alive in case there is no food accessible. However able our bodies might be at doing this the fact is that these days the only food shortage that we ever experience is the self-imposed one from the restrictive diets that we go on.
But our bodies do not distinguish between a limiting diet and a scarcity. We go on a diet and our bodies incapacitate our efforts by slowing down our metabolism and conserving every trace of fat and energy that it can. That is one of the reasons why it gets more tiring to lose weight with every subsequent diet.
The answer to the quandary may be as easy as to end the diet roller-coaster and begin eating. In other words, start working with your ordinary biology and start eating the way your body was designed to eat.
The answer encompasses more than just eating though. The Standard American Diet or the apropos acronym SAD is really contributing to our problems with obesity and overweight. Our bodies were never designed to eat the unwholesome, nutritionally void and processed foods that are so plentiful in our society.
Our bodies were intended to eat the good for you, healthy and organic foods that are found plentifully in nature. Nature provides the foods that are optimal for our bodies. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains and even fish and lean meats. The less processed and the more natural the food the healthier it is for our bodies.
Human beings are also designed to move about, exercise and be dynamic. Our ancestors did not lead the inactive lives that many of us have today. They were moving about, up and around as part of the course of their lives. Achieving optimum health and losing weight for good requires both exercise and optimum diet.
Combating obesity, losing weight for good and creating optimum fitness starts with including the healthiest foods in nature into your diet and incorporating an work out plan into your life. You will see the results and your body will thank you.
