Around the New Year many people make resolutions to lose weight. But many people do not follow through with their resolutions. When I adopted the living foods lifestyle, I was overweight. However, over the course of a year, I started to drop the weight I did not need. I added in exercise, both aerobic and anaerobic, to speed up the weight loss. In the course of one year, I lost 50 pounds and I was back to my college weight.

Reduce stress:
Chronic stress can stop digestion and create adipose tissue in the abdomen region. When one needs to test the adrenal function, saliva testing is ideal for accurate results. One of the main reasons to use saliva is that it represents the free or bio-available fraction of hormones.
Hippocrates offers a supplement called adrenasupport and adaptogen, which have several adaptogens to support adrenal function. Adaptogens help to modulate your response to stress.
There are many ways to support the mind/body for the adrenals, such as meditation, visualization, affirmations, comedies (laughter), and psychological therapy. To support the physical body, practice the following: being well hydrated (one-half of your body weight in fluid ounces per day), proper diet (living foods), adequate sleep (seven to nine hours), deep breathing exercises, moderate physical exercise (aerobic and anaerobic), yoga, and or acupuncture. Try to identify your personal stressor and eliminate it, if possible. Consider changes to your view of the stressor. As you learn to identify the stressor, you can begin the see patterns and modify your behavior.
