Learn About Exercise And Optimum Nutrition That Can Aid You To Lose Fat

By Joan K Cooper

Right now in the United States obesity and being overweight has reached nearly epidemic proportions. Our lifestyles are sedentary and we eat too many nutritionally vacant foods in the Standard American Diet. We don't exercise enough and we eat too much.

Our ancestors needed to grow in such a way as to guarantee continued existence. Therefore our bodies naturally preserve fat and energy in order to defend us from the times of shortage. These days the only scarcity that we ever experience is the self-imposed famines that we experience when we go on a limiting diet.

On the other hand, our bodies cannot differentiate between a scarcity and a restrictive diet. We start dieting and our biology sabotages us by slowing down our metabolism and conserving every little bit of fat and energy that it can. That is one cause why our dieting efforts get more and more stubborn with every ensuing diet.

A big part of the answer to this quandary may be to just stop dieting and start eating. Begin working with your biology instead of against it by discontinuing the mad diets and eating like you are supposed to.

It is more than simply starting to eat again, however. The Standard American Diet, which is also known by the appropriate acronym SAD greatly contributes to obesity and being overweight. The reason why is that our bodies were never planned to consume the unwholesome, nutritionally bankrupt and processed foods that are so abundant in our culture.

Our anatomy was intended to eat the wholesome, nutritious and organic foods that are found in large quantities 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.

As homo sapiens we were also intended to move and keep fit. None of our ancestors led a inactive life. They were always up and around, moving about in the course of living. If you want to reach optimum fitness including losing weight you need to include both exercise and an optimum nutrition diet.

So if you're dream is to combat obesity and lose weight for good not to mention create optimal health start eating the healthiest foods in nature and begin an work out program. Your body will thank you and you will see the results on your bathroom scale. - 17273
