MELT 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 effec
tively 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 approximate§ly $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 obesity 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 t more miles and
more fat worked off on a regular basis. High
intensity walks on alternate days help condition
one's system. But in a walking, weight-loss
program, you are not requried to walk an hour
every day as some people would have you believe.
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
