Tips for Losing Weight Naturally

Natural Weight Loss
Obesity is a major problem in our nation. Over half of the popular is currently over-weight. This means you aren't alone if you're trying to slim down and lead a healthier lifestyle. Unfortunately, a great deal of the information out there about weight loss is inaccurate and can even be dangerous. 

There are so many diet plans and weight loss drugs that it can be both confusing and overwhelming for anyone. How do you know what is right for you? Many people will try a bunch of different approaches only to find that none of them work and that they simply don't get the results they were hoping for.

Why You Might Be Struggling To Lose Weight

If you've honestly tried to lose weight in the past, but just can't seem to then there are several factors that could be in play.
  • Hormone Imbalance - If your weight gain is around your hips, waist and abdomen then this is usually an indicator of a hormone imbalance. Your hormones actually play a major role in fat storage. Our bodies contain a lot of different hormones that work in conjunction with one another to keep us going. Under-production or over-production of any of them - including coritsol, estrogen, testosterone, insulin, DHEA and growth hormones - can cause weight gain and make it difficult to lose that weight.
  • Chemical, Metal or Fungus Overload - Toxic chemicals can be found in our foods, cosmetic and skin products, household cleaning products and more. We can also accidentally become exposed to metals like mercury, antimony, cadmium, lead, cobalt, copper, magnesium and iron. Long-term exposure to even very small amounts of metals can cause many health issues. Past infections such as bladder infections and respiratory infections can result in fungus and bacteria becoming at home in your body from your antibiotic treatments. All of these substances can result in unexplained weight gain and excess fat that is hard to get rid of.
  • Digestion Problems - There are helpful bacteria in your gut as well as a lot of digestive enzymes that allow your body to properly digest and utilize the food you eat. Antibiotics sometimes wipe out your healthy bacteria and can lead to an enzyme imbalance. Your body may store fat when it doesn't actually need to.
  • Other Factors - Stress, lack of sleep and different medications you might be taking can also affect your ability to lose weight. Antihistamines, anti-depressants, beta-blockers and some other types of medicines often make weight loss harder. Other factors that also come into play sometimes are, of course, simply not eating correctly and leading a sedentary lifestyle.

Tips for Natural Weight Loss

The most important thing to keep in mind when you're trying to lose weight is that there isn't a "one-size-fits-all" exercise, diet or weight loss supplement regimen. A diet plan that works for your friend may not be right for you because the reason for your weight gain might be totally different. Continually attempting to lose weight in ways that aren't correct for your body can be detrimental to your health. So it is extremely important to determine the cause of your weight gain before you start to combat it. No matter the reason for your weight gain there are also natural ways to fight it. Steer clear of weight loss medications and any diet plans that seem too good to be true.

Many weight loss professionals are beginning to take a more personalized approach when it comes to helping people lose weight. They use safe, non-evasive techniques such as Nutrition Response Testing to help determine why exactly you can't lose weight. Once the underlying cause is determined, you can begin taking steps in the right direction using a much more natural approach that is perfect for you.

Diet changes can help with things like chemical and metal overload. Some people need to participate in a detox to remove these substances from their bodies. All-natural supplements can help to balance your hormones and can also aid with digestive issues that might be affecting your weight loss. Various exercise routines are then put into place, specifically geared toward burning your fat. Find a professional in your area that relies on these safe, effective techniques.

Should You Get the Flu Shot?

The flu shot is a vaccine that you are injected with to reduce the risk of getting the flu virus. "Experts" recommend that anyone above the age of 6 months should get one every year from around September to May. They claim the flu vaccine contains dead or inactive forms of the flu virus that will ensure you do not contract, or pass, the virus to anyone else. Sounds good right? But why is the government, so determined to make it mandatory to receive the vaccine? Research shows there is no evidence the flu shot reduces transmission rates. Reports are there, yes, but not enough to document it as fact. Pharmaceutical companies earn in the billions annually from flu shot sales. The alliance for national health reported that the federal government invested $400 million of taxpayers' money in vaccine giants such as Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline to develop new vaccines in 2012 alone. JPMorgan investment bank estimated that in 2009 alone, pharmaceutical corporations made $10
