(NUI) - No matter what time of year it is, it's always a good time to get in shape. Most people know that they add extra pounds during the holidays and they want to lose weight before all the big "eating" events of the holiday season.
Studies show that overweight people have an increased risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and other illnesses. Losing weight reduces the risk.
Here are five tips to help you lose those extra pounds:
1. Eat slowly. Concentrate on each bite and put down the fork throughout your meal. Keep portions small. Remember, bigger is not better when it comes to weight control.
2. Eat more meals. Eat four or five smaller meals instead of two or three large meals. Spreading out your meals will keep you from being hungry throughout the day.
3. Choose dense foods. Dense foods, like grains, make you feel full in a short amount of time. Be aware that fried foods and fatty desserts can quickly use up a day's calories.
4. Beware of hidden sugar. You know cookies, doughnuts and pies contain sugar. But sugar is also added to foods like spaghetti sauce, salad dressing and canned soups.
5. Exercise. Do at least 30
minutes of exercise most days of the week. The idea is to use up more calories than you eat.
Health experts believe that the best way to lose weight is by eating healthful foods that are low in fat and calories. Supplements can also help in your efforts to lose weight.
Eurobotanicals, for example, has developed Sleep-N-Slim, a liquid nutritional supplement that works with the body while sleeping to help it burn fat and build lean muscle. It works with your body, using the exclusive amino acid complex in aloe vera juice to gently stimulate the body's pituitary gland to secrete growth hormone, which in turn helps the body burn fat. When you burn fat, you naturally increase your energy level as well.
Unfortunately, there are no magic methods to make losing excess pounds easy. Your doctor or other health worker can help you set sensible goals based on a proper weight for your height, build and age. But you are ultimately responsible for your health, so losing unwanted, unhealthy weight is a good start to optimum good health.
