Managing Your Weight
The principle of weight management is
simply keeping the balance between your food intake and your daily physical
activities, since the main cause of being overweight is uncontrolled food
intake and lack of exercise.
Watch what you eat
This is the first issue you should attend to. You already know that the external source of cholesterol is our food. So watch what you eat. It sounds simple, but you really need the spirit to keep up the struggle. You may have to discard your favorite foodstuff and feel unhappy in the beginning. But, you will get used to it. Time will help you.
The basic of your diet is limiting the amount of saturated fat and cholesterol that we eat, eat just the needed calories that maintains a ideal healthy weight, increase the intake of water soluble fiber containing foodstuff (oatmeal, kidney beans and apple are good sources) and last but not least is to add cholesterol lowering food such as plant margarine and fish oil.
Add your knowledge about food. This will enable you to select among good and bad stuff. You should know what are the fat and cholesterol containing foodstuff as well as the kind of food that can enhance your health. If you like meat very much and find it hard to discard, there are meats that contain less fat and cholesterol compared to other meats. I am sure you know that.
Start exercising
Why should you do that? It is the best and natural way to burn residual fats in our body. Fat residual is the remaining fat after our body system has taken the necessary amount for normal metabolism. Unused fat is usually deposited in our body cells of particular parts of the body, e.g. stomach, hips, upper arms and legs. Excessive fat deposit causes overweight. Thus, the best way to avoid this happening is to burn it by doing exercises.
Exercising is also beneficial in shaping your health in general. It makes the whole body work; muscles, organs, cells, systems, processes all together in harmony to keep your body fit and ready to do things for a better life.
However, exercise is another thing that needs self motivation and discipline. You may go jogging in the neighborhood or install a treadmill unit in the corner of your house. You may go swimming, or do anything else that make you sweat. Sweat is the result of fat metabolism which indicates that fat burning is working. If you do it routinely, there is no way that fat will be kept in your body.
