Have you ever struggled with losing weight and keeping it off? Most of us throughout our lives have tried a multitude of diet plans and have yo yo ed back and forth. The struggle is real in trying to maintain a healthy body weight.
As we are inundated with social media and celebrities on T.V. we put pressure upon ourselves to be skinny and lean to keep up with society. This puts a lot of stress on ourselves that turns into a continuous battle to fit the norm. This stress raises our cortisol levels which in turn triggers the body to store excess fat.
As you can see, this mindset rarely leads to long term success as we become unhealthier and unhealthier. What if we changed our mindset and started with health first and allowed weight loss to be the by-product of that? Our bodies naturally want to thrive, heal and be at a healthy weight. It’s in our genetic make up. We can begin to achieve ultimate health by changing our perspective on nutrition and what we are putting into our bodies each day.
Think about this: when you go grocery shopping do you ask yourself questions like these:
Will these products add to my health or fuel disease?
Does this product come from a natural source?
Is this a processed or man-made product?
Is this product loaded in sugars?
Is this product loaded with chemicals?
How is this product going to affect my overall health?
What do you think will happen to your health over years and years of eating substances like these? It may not happen overnight, but ill health is a serious potential outcome.
As mentioned above, our bodies naturally want to be healthy, heal and thrive. It only makes sense to fuel your body with clean nutrition. As you eat products from their most raw and natural sources, your body becomes healthy from the inside out.
Many health ailments can fall to the side, be reversed, and one outcome is that our body will naturally and effortlessly become a healthy body weight.
Eating a clean and healthy diet, will not only yield ultimate health, but can help your moods and emotions, increase your energy, support restorative sleep patterns, and leave you feeling energized. Our body regenerates on a daily basis and it's true, you are what you eat!
When you think about what you have eaten over the last week, does that leave you with ultimate health or not?
I encourage you to take a good look at what you choose to put in your body each day, because your future self depends on it.
