Wellness Wednesday: Healthy Weight Loss, Turn Your Life Around

Fighting America’s Fat Epidemic

 

Our expanding waistlines have reached epidemic proportions. 2 out of 3 Americans are now overweight. Don’t you deserve to be more than a fat statistic?

Whether it’s 5 or 50 pounds, slimming down isn’t just a vanity project. It’s the most important decision in your life. Waistbands have been expanding for the past 20 years especially in America. According to a recent study from the Centers of Disease Control and prevention, 69% of Americans are overweight or obese, putting them at greater risk for stroke, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes. Another sobering statistic? If we continue growing at our current pace, an estimated half of Americans will be obese by 2030. It’s easy to see why: realty shows like Addicted to Food, gimmicky fast food campaigns that lure us into supersizing our meals and drinks, and trying every fad diet that comes along can lead to a roller coaster of numbers on the scale, slowing of metabolism, and a host of unhealthy habits that are seriously hard to break. Meanwhile, our daily lives have become increasingly sedentary… the average American clocks in with 55 hours per week behind a desk.

The good news is LQ Wellness can introduce you to a program that can change your life and help you rewrite your future. Take your shape in a whole new direction with Shaklee 180.

Healthy Motivational Tips

Sleep to Slim Down

Shakespeare called sleep the "balm of hurt minds," but had he written Macbeth in this century, he might have added "hurt bodies." More to the point (but far less poetic), he might have said it was the balm of fat bodies. That's because recent research has shown that sleep deprivation can have a significant impact on your ability to lose weight. The major players in this snooze-lose link are two hormones, leptin and ghrelin. Lack of z's results in lower levels of the appetite-suppressing leptin and higher levels of the appetite-boosting ghrelin. Compounding this hormonal glitch is the simple fact that when we sleep less, we have more opportunities to eat. Also, when we're tired from lack of sleep, we have less resolve to fight cravings and mindless munching.

The obvious solution to this problem is to get more sleep — aim for at least 7 hours a night And before you say "impossible," think about this: One study showed that the difference in amount of shut-eye between obese subjects and slim ones was about two hours a week — that's only 17 minutes more sleep per night!

Wishing you health and wellness from the inside out,
