Relaxation
Supports Healthy Weight Loss
As we were
coasting along the non-congested strip of highway, Tom
and I noticed a man jogging at a heated pace down
the access road. He was dressed in a pair of short-shorts
and white running shoes. No shirt; no shades.
He was redder
than a fresh beet, was liberally bathed in sweat, and
he looked as if he might fall over in a heap at any
moment.
All that
misery - it was a high price to pay for a trim shape,
but was the runner really making strides towards a healthier
body? Or was he taxing his body, pushing it beyond sane
reasoning under the umbrella of a 100-degree sunny day?
Running
in 100-degree weather with no protective gear, as well
as lack of replenishing liquids is indeed, risky business.
With that
in mind, let's allow ourselves to drift from the edge
of reality to a peaceful cove where dieters rarely throng.....
Relaxing
for Weight Loss
Generally,
there are two common elements to a new diet plan:
Healthier, lower fat, low calorie menus.
Moderate activity.
Activity
is brilliant for strengthening the body - the muscles,
particularly the heart, as well as for toning purposes
as the body shrinks. But when butt-wrenching activity
is pushed beyond sane reasoning, diets have a tendency
to fall apart.
Unfortunately,
so many Seekers of Weight Loss fling themselves into
a brutal activity program - experiencing soreness the
first week of their diet, and total exhaustion the next
- and "I want my old diet life back cuz this
ain't worth it!" the next week.
Activity
is a necessary element of a healthier body - but fact
is, the most effective element of weight loss is the
healthier, lower fat, lower calorie menus.
Although
these two elements work hand-in-hand in producing weight
loss, dieters generally omit a very important element
to the weight loss process.
Relaxation.
To illustrate
the importance of relaxation, let's think about the
last time Penny took a vacation and traveled. In
the beginning, she was so excited - couldn't wait to
hit the road and start collecting souvenirs.
By the time
the fifth day of vacation rolled around, home was looking
pretty good.
But if Penny
had paused to catch her breath and rested a spell, she may
have gotten a second wind.
Such is
dieting. We propel ourselves onward, through the
wooded wonders of the Diet World. We sail through
choppy Diet Seas. And we climb tall Weight Loss Plateaus,
traveling days on end without so much as an ounce of
weight drifting off weary little Diet Bodies.
We grow
tired and frustrated with dieting. It's at
this point that many dieters toss in their Diet Running
Shoes - or what is left of them. Most dieters
thrash the poor things to smithereens with their 200-hundred
mile jog they did - in three days!
However,
when relaxation is included as one of the important
elements of dieting - it allows us to gather a second
wind and make awesome strides in the way of weight loss
success.
Here are
some more of the healthy benefits of relaxation:
Relaxation relieves stress and tension.
Relaxation helps us avoid impulsive eating.
Relaxation helps the dieter stay in focus with their
goals.
Relaxation allows the body to rest, recover and heal.
