Health and Wellness - Weight Loss Tips

How to keep your weight-loss! It is possible to lose weight and not gain it back. There is nothing more discouraging than to lose weight and gain it back.

Have you have experienced the joy of victory, when you have lost weight?

Have you experienced the agony of gaining back your weight loss?

Do you want to lose weight and not gain it back?

After you have reached your ideal weight, you begin to relax and enjoy your new body image. The need to punish and deprive you for eating wrong and not exercising enough is no longer necessary. You began to reward yourself for your weight loss and new body image. You enjoy the way you look in your clothes. You enjoy your greater flexibility. The acknowledgment of your weight loss by your friends and family thrills you. You have greater passion for living. You have more confidence in your relationships. You like what you see in the mirror.

Logically, these benefits from losing weight should be rewarding enough to maintain permanent weight loss. Logically and consciously, the rewards for attaining your ideal weight are the benefits from being thin.

Why aren’t the benefits from weight loss strong enough to maintain weight loss? Unconsciously, the rewards for attaining your ideal weight are eating as in the past and and insufficient exercise.

Successful weight loss and programs to lose weight fail, because people’s motivation and thinking prevent successful maintenance of weight loss. In order to maintain permanent weight loss, you must change your thinking.

Unconsciously, for many people food is a reward and functions as a tranquilizer. When food functions as a reward or tranquilizer, successful maintenance of weight loss is impossible. From this perspective, losing weight is associated with punishment and grounding, because of past over-eating and not exercising. No one likes to be punished and deprived. No one likes to be punished and deprived permanently.

If losing weight is motivated and associated with punishing and depriving you, you are doomed to fail. Although you enjoy your weight loss and want to maintain your weight loss, unconsciously your mind begins to sabotage you.

Why? For your unconscious mind, the reward for successful weight loss is over-eating again and insufficient exercising.

Successful maintenance of weight loss only is possible when obesity, overeating and failure to exercise are perceived as punishments, while weight loss, eating right and exercising are thought of as rewards.

You’re thinking and motivation for losing and maintaining weight loss must change. Eating wrong and living without sufficient exercise can no longer be the reward. Thinness, eating right, and exercising must become rewards rather than punishments.

Before you begin any change in your eating patterns, change your thinking and maintain healthy thinking through out the weight loss period and after you have lost your excess weight.

Omega-3 and Your Memory

Yesterday I was visiting with my mother-in-law. After asking me the same question a second time, she said, "my memory is not the same as it used to be." That, coming from an 88 year-old woman, may be all too common for the elderly. However, when it comes to middle-aged individuals, that should not be the norm. So, is there a way to improve our memory, or at least keep it from failing us as we age?

After reading the article below, "Ways to Improve Your Memory" by TriVita's Chief Science Officer, Brazos Minshew, I believe there are certain things we CAN do to improve our memory and keep it sharp as we continue to age, just as Mr. Minshew mentions in his article. I've posted the complete article below.

Ways to Improve Your Memory by Brazos Minshew

OK, I will admit it if you will: I have forgotten the names of people while I was talking to them! I have lost my car keys, misplaced my glasses and turned the wrong way on my drive home.

How about you? Does it seem like your memory is playing tricks on you as you age? Well, there are reasons for that and very few of these reasons are related to diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer's.

How to make a memory
Your memory is an amazing miracle. Every second your brain processes billions of bits of information from your five senses. You may consciously perceive only a very small percentage of this information because one function of your brain is to filter out unimportant information. The things you remember will usually be advantageous to you. For instance, remembering your wedding anniversary date or remembering where the speed trap is on your drive home.

Memory is classed into two basic groups:

1. Short-term: Short term memories are quickly forgotten when they are no longer important.
2. Long-term: Long-term memories may be divided into recent and distant.

Practicing or rehearsing can improve your memory by moving more information into long-term. For instance, when I am distracted by stress I will not be able to remember where I left my car keys. That information was deleted from my short-term memory. However, if I consciously say, "I am hanging my car keys on the hook," I am far more likely to remember where they are.

How to keep a memory

Reduce stress
Stress kills your memory. The stress system is designed to ensure survival. It helps us fight off a snarling dog or flee from a snarling bear. As important as that is, humans do more every day than merely survive. If you want to have a good, healthy memory, do all you can to reduce the need for fight or flight stress responses.

Learn something new
As mentioned, practicing or rehearsing something enhances memory. So does learning something new. You see, memory is facilitated through the billions of neurons and synapses in your brain by patterns: retracing old patterns as well as creating new patterns. The more new things we master and the more connections we create, the better our overall memory will be.

If you want to remember your anniversary, start learning a foreign language. If you want to remember important names, learn a musical instrument. The more you learn – and the more you connect the old with the new – the better your overall memory will be.

How to nourish a memory
Certain nutrients help the memory to remain sharp. These nutrients fall into two basic categories: those that create brain structure and those that nourish brain function.

Your brain is made mostly of fat. And the majority of that fat is an Omega-3 called DHA. So, to have a healthy brain we need healthy fats like OmegaPrime®. Your nerve cells convert some fats into functional nerve proteins called myelin. Formation of myelin requires dietary protein and Vitamin B-12. So, for healthy brain structure and function we need Omega-3 fats, healthy dietary protein and Vitamin B-12.

When the memory is activated, it creates heat in the brain. To fuel the memory, quench the heat and repair the daily wear-and-tear on your brain, you need antioxidants. Certain antioxidants target brain function specifically. An excellent antioxidant formula that is also anti-inflammatory is Nopalea™. The Betalain bioflavonoids in Nopalea also help improve circulation by fortifying healthy arteries.

What do you remember?
To recap: Occasional memory lapses usually indicate you are distracted by stress. Rehearsing things you want to remember and practicing new things you have learned can help you avoid stress-induced memory lapses. Because new behaviors create new pathways in your brain, learning something new such as a new language or musical instrument can improve your overall memory.

Stress kills your memory. Nutrients such as Omega-3, Vitamin B-12 and anti-inflammatory antioxidants such as those found in Nopalea can help rebuild and restore your ability to remember. With all of these tools at your disposal, you have access to the power of a healthy memory. ** End of Article **

From the Franklin Institute on the effects of stress and memory loss: "Chronic over-secretion of stress hormones adversely affects brain function, especially memory. Too much cortisol can prevent the brain from laying down a new memory, or from accessing already existing memories."[1]

We need to keep our brains active, and reduce or eliminate stress. If not, we'll wind up having increased memory loss and probably make the same statement as my mother-in-law. We only go through this life once, and it's important to take care of our bodies by eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and taking on some activity that will keep your mind sharp. You may even want to think about supplementing your diet with one of the nutritional products from TriVita.

Weight Loss

Health and Wellness - Weight Loss Tips

First, assess why past diets have failed. “Yo-yo dieting” can have long-lasting, negative effects on your metabolism. If you drastically reduce calories, you’re also likely to deprive yourself of essential nutrients. Nutritionists recommend that sedentary women usually need at least 1200-1300 calories a day, but that’s if you’re carefully monitoring nutrient intake.

You need to lose weight slowly. Instead of a crash dieting, reduce your intake by 100-200 calories and eat more filling, high-fiber foods to combat hunger.

Small changes are most likely to be long-lasting. Trading mayo for mustard, or a side of fries for a side of veggies makes a big difference in the long run.

Don’t try to make unrealistic, drastic changes. If you absolutely love a certain food, swearing to never eat it again may lead to craving and binges.

Brush off mistakes. They are unavoidable. Demanding perfection is setting yourself up to fall short.

Target mindless eating. Are there any high-calorie foods that you consume that you wouldn’t miss? Food shopping once a week and planning your meals out can be a good way to avoid this. Now its easier than ever with online grocery services that deliver to your doorstep.

Treat your body well by appreciating the taste and texture of food and the way your body feels after exercise.

Finally, don’t let yourself miss out on the important things by spending all your time thinking about your weight. Your diet should be one aspect of your life, and it should never require you to turn down a social opportunity, distract you from school or diminish your self-esteem. If it does, those body image issues need to be dealt with before going on any type of diet.

Weight Loss

Health and Wellness - Weight Loss

It seems that you can’t open a newspaper or magazine without seeing an article about one medical study or other that warns about all of the potentially harmful consequences associated with being overweight. Overweight people do have higher risks of heart disease, hypertension, stroke, and diabetes. If you ask me, those are some pretty compelling reasons to make a commitment to shed some pounds now. But perhaps you’re a bit cynical about the whole dieting process because of failed attempts in the past. That’s certainly understandable, and I can empathize with you . However, you’re health is too important to just give up completely. Instead, maybe it’s time you took a look at some weight loss products that can help you slim down.

First of all, I want to tell you that there are no magic weight loss products out there. The foundation of any effective diet is a combination of healthy eating habits and exercise. If you do just one or the other, you’re not likely going to see any noticeable long-term results. That being said, using weight loss products in addition to dieting and exercise could be the formula that finally makes the difference for you. There are numerous kinds of weight loss products available on the market today, and they all purport to have different effects on your body. So a successful diet depends in large part on which particular weight loss product you decide to use.

It is important to know your ideal body weight. What is an ideal body weight?

When you look at your height and your build, the number of pounds that are healthy for you is probably a higher number than you are shooting for if you are dieting. I know that the weight I seem to think is what I want is indeed lower than what my doctor is telling me. There is a difference between how you think you want to look in clothing and what is healthy for the maintenance of good health and longevity.

When you ideal body weight and your vision of your body don’t match, you have to think about why that is. I don’t mean when you think you want to be a few pounds lower than your ideal body weight, I mean when you are trying to be thirty or more pounds lower. This is not healthy for you, and you have to come to grips with the body you have. If you don’t, you may end up with an eating disorder. You may want to take some time to talk to your doctor or a nutritionist to see what is going on with you, and what you can do to be healthier rather than thinner.

Remember that you ideal body weight has more to do with health then anything else. This means that the weight that is ideal for you is one that is good for your heart and your long term health. This has nothing to do with how you will look in a swimming suit, but the closer you are to this ideal body weight you are, the better you are going to look. You may not think it’s perfect, but it is important to know that your ideal weight will help ensure you are around to watch your children and your grandchildren grow up.
