Those of you who have been following our blog understand our deep appreciation for how remarkably the human body is created.

Our position regarding health is straight forward – if you take care of your body, it will take care of you.

Caring for the body is more than keeping the outside clean – it is treating the body kindly, with respect and attending to the nutritional needs that support the efficient functioning of the body that manifests in health.

 Health is path one follows; it is not a quest for a procedure, potion, lotion or pill that you initiated once your health begins to decline or falter.

Living has an inevitable end – death.  One hopes life ends in a peaceful repose; however, that is, often, not the case.

To that end, we have prepared a commentary, Keep Life Simple, for your examination, and, if you desire, links to further readings to help put you on a path that allows you to prosper in the bounty of health.

Enjoy

 

Question:  “So happy to enjoy such a insightful article “How to lose weight with diet pills” that does not depend on base posturing to get the topic fulfilled. Thank you for an enjoyable read.

2 questions: What kind of diet should I go with? I need to get some kind of workout what kind of exercises should I get into? Your input is appreciated.”

Response:  Your questions regarding diet is one I hear often. The key a healthy diet, and successful, long-term weight management is to avoid high calorie/empty nutrition food. The most common culprits are soda, snacks, convenience and fast food, processed and packaged food.

The answer is explained elegantly here:
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/what-should-you-eat

The short version is: eat 7-9 servings of differently colored, fresh vegetables that grow above ground, a serving of about the size of a deck of cards of fish or poultry each day, a serving about the size of a deck of cards of red once a week, with limited, (if not eliminated) amounts of milk and milk products, white flour (processed wheat, rice and oats), sugar, fruit juice and tropical fruits and vegetables that grow underground.

And drink water; at least 8 – 8 ounce glasses each day. Preferably, you can determine optimum hydration by dividing your body weight by two for the number of ounces of water to drink each day.

Exercise is important, but strenuous exercise takes a toll on your body. I’m a fan of walking for about 15 minutes a day. The important thing to remember is to vary the pace – start normally then speed up until you feel your body compensating, then slow down, speed up, slow down.

 Also, landing your foot into the arches is important, so shorten your stride. Many people over-stride when they walk which causes excess impact force that radiates from the heel of the foot all the way up through your spine.

Finally, considering a weight management supplement may be appropriate.  I’m not a fan of many of the supplements on the market because they simply focus on using high amounts of natural stimulants to raise waking time metabolism. 

Therefore, my Company approaches the issue of weight management supplements on an around-the-clock basis by restoring the efficiency both daytime and nighttime glucose utilizing.  By default, the regime is intended to promote and maintain efficient metabolism that, in turn, will address healthy weight management.

Thanks for asking these important questions.  In the end, it is your life,  the choice is yours to make.

How healthy are you?  Take the test.

 

Weight management is really quite simple; there are four ways to lose weight:

1. Reduce appetite to lower food consumption and caloric intake.
2. Increase energy expenditure by boosting metabolism.
3. Activate brown adipose tissue (brown fat), which burns white fat.
4. Regulate production of the fat producing hormones (that stores fat around our hips, thighs and waistline), address insulin resistance and support healthy blood sugar levels.

Although it may seem very simple, creating a formula to address these areas for weight loss isn’t easy. NUPRO used this multi functional approach, based on proven and evolving science, as the backbone for developing our formulation to support long lasting weight management success. NUPRO has combined specific herbs, amino acids, vitamins and minerals to produce a remarkable, proprietary formula to help you achieve beneficial weight loss.

Manage Appetite and Cravings
5 HTP, an extract of the herb Griffonia simplicifolia (a relative of Carob), supports serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin levels, supported by 5-HTP, help create a feeling of satiety (fullness) and suppress appetite. MIT researchers studying 5-HTP and its appetite suppressing benefit said, “It’s conceivable this amino acid might be helpful in diminishing overeating.” This lowering of caloric intake encourages the body to use its own fat for energy.

Manage Energy and Metabolism
Green tea and Kola nut are proven to increase energy and metabolism. Research has shown Green tea extract produced a significant increase in total energy expenditure, approximately 4%. This corresponds to an increase in the thermogenic component of total energy expenditure, about 35%–43%.

Activate the Fat Burners – Brown Adipose Tissue
Green tea and Kola nut have been clinically shown to increase energy expenditure by boosting adrenaline and noradrenaline. Increases of noradrenaline activate brown adipose tissue (brown fat) that burns accumulated body fat. In the February 2000 American Journal of Obesity, authors concluded that oral administration of green tea extract stimulated thermogenesis and fat oxidation and thus has the potential to influence body weight and body composition favorably.

Regulate Fat Producing Hormones
The polyphenol in Green tea, EGCG (epigallocatechen 3-gallate), has been shown to decrease the hormone leptin which controls fat storage and appetite, decrease insulin which controls fat storage and increase the neurotransmitter noradrenaline, a metabolsim booster.

Chromium is important for anyone trying to lose weight because of its role in managing blood sugar and the over stimulation of insulin production. Chromium helps prevent the insulin-glycogen “sugar crash” that produces the hormone that stores fat around the hips, thighs and waistline. In addition to the mineral’s effects on carbohydrate (glucose) metabolism, insulin also influences the metabolism of fat and protein.
