A Recent Survey Of A Group Of Dieters Has Shown That you Can
Continue To Take Your Daily Nutritional Supplements, While Following Your Weight Loss Program
December 15, 2005 (Press Release) --
Exercise Melts Body Fat
If you want to reduce your body fat, focus on increasing the
amount of exercise you get rather than decreasing your food
intake. A recent national study was done using two groups
of sedentary men, one group in their 20's and the other over
age 65. A lot was learned from this accumulated data and it
is interesting to note that there was a significant relationship
between lack of physical activity and fat. Not surprisingly,
the most sedentary men had the most body fat.
These studies have also indicated that the governments current
recomended daily allowance for calories does not correlate with
the body's actual energy needs. For example, although 2400
calories have been calculated for older men, they in fact burned
an average of 2800 calories daily.
The leading experts now recommend that people who want to lose
weight start increasing their physical activity. Just being more
active in general (such as climbing the stairs instead of taking
the elevator, moving around instead of sitting still, sitting up
instead of lying down as well as showing some excitement and
enthusiasm instead of boredom), are things that more effectively
burns calories and reduces body fat. Everyone seems to have lost
sight of the value of being active. Consider this, a half-hour
aerobic workout accounts for far less energy expenditure than our
minute-to-minute movement in the office or at home.
Millions of Americans are trying to lose weight, spending
approximately $30 billion a year on diet programs and products,
often they do lose some weight. But, if you check with the same
people five years later, you will find that nearly all have
regained whatever weight they lost. A national panel recently
sought data to determine if any commercial diet program could
prove long-term success. Not a single program could do so.
Being seriously overweight and particularly obese predisposes
individuals to a number of diseases and serious health problems,
and it's now a known fact that when caloric intake is excessive,
some of the excess frequently is saturated fat.
People who diet without exercising often get fatter with time.
Although your weight may initially drop while dieting, such weight
loss consists mostly of water and muscle. When the weight
returns, it comes back as fat. To avoid getting fatter over time,
increase your metabolism by exercising regularly.
Walking is one of the best exercises for strengthening bones,
controlling weight, toning the leg muscles, maintaining good
posture and improving positive self-concept.
To lose weight, it's more important to walk for time than speed.
Walking at a moderate pace yields longer workouts with less
soreness - leading to more miles and more fat worked off on a
regular basis.
When it comes to good health and weight loss, exercise and diet
are inter-related. Exercising without maintaining a balanced
diet is no more beneficial than dieting whle remaining inactive.
