You consider yourself a healthy eater you count every calorie in whatever you eat and drink, you know the best fat blasting exercises and do them regularly, but you may still suspect nothing about several unrevealed reasons, besides eating habits and sedentary lifestyle, that do not allow you to keep yourself fit. Go ahead with reading and we will lift the curtain over them for you!
Alcohol
Alcohol is a very high-calorie product and all its calories immediately go into processing, at the same time slowing the absorption of important minerals and microelements. Alcohol can considerably stimulate appetite. After a drink or two, you will be uncontrollably drawn to something fatty and salty to give yourself a treat, so that you can easily forget the sense of proportion.
Alcohol has no nutrients that are important for healthy metabolism. Any alcohol is poison for a human body. While your body is excreting the poison, it is also slowing down all metabolic and reduction processes. Two drinks can slow down your metabolism for a period of at least 3 days.
Cigarettes
If you think that cigarettes can help you fight some excessive kilos, you are definitely wrong. The recent researches that after you quit smoking, your weight goes back to normal, even if you mistakenly think you “gain” weight. Bad habit anyway is not a good way to solve the problem, a couple of additional pounds you have after you quit is nothing in comparison with all the harm of smoking.
Stress
For a majority of people to eat something tasty after a stressful situation is only the most simple, easy and pleasant way to deal with troubles. Soothing your worries with a finger-licking good stuff, you hardly ever think that a subsequent weight gain can be even more serious challenge for mental and physical health, than stress.
However, there are plenty of wise ways to cope with the crisis, such as physical activity, aroma bath, walk, dancing, singing, breathing exercises, and even knitting.
Hormonal Imbalance
Another enemy of your good shape and mood is hormonal dibalance. Fluctuating hormones levels have bad impact on metabolism and sometimes cause appetite disorders. Sudden changes in hormone levels trigger mood swings and can lead to depression in women who already suffer from hormonal surges one time every month and during all pregnancy.
If you consider yourself a hormonal contraception, according recent health and fitness news, a modern alternative to usual hormonal contraception has been recently introduced. It is an intrauterine hormonal system, which puts hormones intrauterinally. Thus, the dose of hormones is 7.5 times less than in other methods of contraception.
Lack of sleep
Lack of sleep sufficiently violate metabolism and body's ability to break down carbohydrates. When you rest at night, the most important processes of turning food into energy take their place in your body. If you do not sleep enough, your body does not have time to do its job and stores unused resources for the future.
Lack of sleep also stimulates the production of a stress hormone, cortisol, which, in turn, stimulates hunger, and, voila, you eat more again.
Information is everything in our age, so if you add what we say to the of what you should and should not eat, you will stay healthy, strong and fit to the end of your days.
