Fwd: Office Workout



By Rey Vetangelo


Everyone knows that, unless you are a professional athlete or have all the time in the world, that it is pretty hard to find the time to really stay fit and healthy. There are however, some key ways to keep your body moving even when you are pressed with time.

Weight loss surgery is an effective option for some, but insurance companies have strict regulations on who qualifies, what steps are required to qualify, and how long they need to wait for their surgery. Those who are interested but do not qualify may become interested in medical tourism, allowing them to receive the same weight loss surgery for a much lower cost and without lengthy wait times. There are several obesity clinics in Mexico that cater to Americans who are not able to receive weight loss surgery domestically because of its prohibitive costs.

So what other options are available? One popular diet that can be very effective in rapid weight loss is the Atkins Diet, more formally called the Atkins Nutritional Approach.

The basic premise of the Atkins diet is that by eating a small amount of carbohydrates, one can force the body to use fat stores for energy instead of glucose from food consumption. When an individual eats carbohydrates, glucose levels spikes.

This triggers the production of insulin which turns the glucose in the blood into energy, and reduces the blood sugars back to a normal level. This process is especially pronounced when eating simple carbohydrates, high fructose corn syrup, and refined sugars.

The way weight loss occurs through the Atkins diet is by eating very few carbohydrates. By doing so, blood sugar levels do not spike to the same degree and consequently, insulin production is decreased. Without insulin production, the body is forced into a process called ketosis where energy is obtained from stored fats. This quickly reduces the quantity of stored fats and results in weight loss.

Make sure that you are stretching several times a day. Working out is good but it takes stretching to create sustainable and practical strength.

Dieters who stick to the Atkins diet may experience health benefits such as reduced blood pressure, reduced cholesterol, increased energy, more mobility, and greater peace of mind and overall enjoyment of life.

This question is controversial among health professionals. There are some changes that happen when practicing the Atkins diet that may have negative health impacts. However, it is important to also consider the negative impacts of prolonged obesity as well. If you are interested in the Atkins diet, consult with your healthcare professional and find out if it could be a good fit for you.
