It seems that our society thinks that as long as we go to the doctor and they give us a clean bill of health that we are doing what we can to protect our well-being. This, however, is not true. In fact, we are doing just the opposite. The foods that we consume along with the lack of physical activity are killing us from the inside out. Just because a doctor says you are healthy does not mean that there are not things going on, from the inside, which are not yet seen.
See, this lack of physical activity and the nasty toxic foods that we are filling our bodies with are killing our metabolisms. It is our metabolism that keeps our body running; it is what burns the calories that we consume and turns them to energy. The slower it is, the less fuel it can burn. When this happens, fat begins to pile up. As you may have imagined, this is a vicious cycle. See, the more your metabolism slows down and the more fat that is added to the body, the less the body wants to move. The less motivation you or your body has to move, this vicious circle begins to move faster and faster. One of the main reasons is because the less active we are the more strength we lose. Without strength your body cannot fight off the health issues that come along with the excess fat.
One of the greatest issues causing this problem is the type of foods that we eat on a regular basis. You know all those processed foods that line the shelves of our supermarkets? These are just some of the food products that are killing us; restaurants are another cause. See, these foods are filled with sugars, fats, and chemicals that counteract any good you may do for your body. On top of this, the lack of exercise of physical activity means a loss of muscle, the one thing that can fight these negative reactions.
All of this also plays a role in your blood sugar levels, which are crucial to good health. When blood sugar and insulin levels get out of whack it can lead you down the path of hypoglycemia and diabetes; neither of which are easy to maintain over a lifetime. Staying active will help to keep your lean muscle mass at a healthy level, which will help to burn fat. Eating whole, natural foods on a regular schedule also help to keep blood sugars where they need to be.
One of these things, on their own will not suffice, you need to do both. If you want to avoid the dangerous path that thousands of Americans are headed down, it is time to start working out and eating right. Get yourself involved in a proper strength training regime and start eating foods that help rather than hurt your body. There is no time like today; change your future.
