True Weight Regulation Vs Commercial Weight Loss
31 May 2012Now, coming to the rescue are the sleek sexy stars who have been saved by the commercial weight loss programs. There is a problem with this picture — none of them have anything to do with health, just promising that "movie star" body that we all crave to imitate. In the midst of all of this lives the health industry’s understanding of economic grandeur. They present us with the high protein diet, the blood type programs and the "Live in your Zone" philosophy, further confusing the average person. `
After four and a half decades Hippocrates Institute stands alone with the abundantly clear message to the over and under weight masses that "there is a sensible, proven life style that will give you your body of choice". Unfortunately the results are only achieved through taking total responsibility for oneself, we cannot produce a bikini and Speedo tailored commercial promising instantaneous results with no effort. One must also understand that body structure does not permit all of us to look like the present day image of the superstar. Further, over the decades we have shown that 100 year olds can gain the same health benefits as 20 year olds. To us, the most significant part of the Hippocrates Living Foods life style is that the good looks are a side effect, the real heart of the benefits is improved health and greatly increased longevity.
Secret #1 is that consuming a diet of enzyme-rich living food provides the energy necessary to digest and assimilate all nutrients the body craves without leaving the debris behind that other vegan and vegetarian diets do. When consuming sprouts, algae, flower pollens, etc. you are gaining far more protein than any other program provides. These amino acids are the cornerstones of building healthy cells and tissue. Complex carbohydrates that are consumed in a vegetarian raw state break down to simple sugars without increasing sugar levels and feeding into fat. Fats that are from the non-animal sources are necessary in small quantities in all of our diets but through germination of seeds, nuts, grains and beans you are breaking these fats down to fatty acids making them easy to digest providing all of the already discovered fatty acids plus the many more that have yet to be unveiled. Theses fatty acids help to regulate weight.
Secret #2 is that a healthy body requires the minimum of five days per week having ones heart rate raised aerobically for thirty minutes. Secret #3 is one must build muscle two to three days per week through resistant exercise, which can be achieved in many ways. For the overweight, fat converts to muscle very easily and weight lifting will assure you your body of choice. For the under weight who dreams of whipped cream consumption to gain weight, you had better wake up to the fact that muscle weight is the only weight you should desire. For those intellectual living food consumers, you must get up and employ exercise to develop your bodies and balance your weight.
Without fail everyone reading this can re-establish a healthy body through consistent commitment to the these 3 principles - live food, constant aerobics and muscle building. We are positive that no one can achieve complete wellness without these primary ingredients. Of course there are other aspects to gaining complete health but these are the foundational strongholds that too many people try to evade and find themselves losing ground rather than achieving goals.
