Increased Physical Movement
Key Principles:
Metabolism is simply the rate at which our bodies burn calories, whether we are resting or active.  You can speed up your metabolism which will cause loss of weight by exercise/physical movement. If you don’t exercise, the muscle you do have will be replaced on your body with fat. The older a person is, more is the need of intentional exercise.

Stress is a real drag on metabolism.  When we’re stressed, we tend to eat to cope, and have less energy, so we tend to become more lethargic and downcast. Physical Movement helps release endorphins which create increased feelings of euphoria and a reduction in appetite. This can help in alleviating the symptoms of stress.

Thin for Life recommends three ways to increase physical movement: Bending and Stretching Exercises,  Walking, and Light Strength Training.

Nutritional and Hormonal Support
Your adrenal system and your thyroid work together to regulate your body’s production of hormones. If your adrenals are overworked or stressed, the thyroid automatically turns the metabolic rate down in order to “calm” the system.  This reduction is metabolic rate means weight gain. Healthier eating and the use of nutritional supplements can assist the body and reduce stress to our adrenal system.

Because of highly processed, chemically saturated foods, our adrenal system is stressed. Thin for Life recommends everyone take a multi-vitamin, multi-mineral supplement. You want to look for a supplement that has a broad base of vitamins and minerals, including trace elements.  A comprehensive supplement formula has the ingredients necessary for the body to take advantage of each one of the supplements.

We also recommend the daily use of a protein supplement that is high in protein, vitamins, and minerals with low sugar.

Taking an EPA/DHA supplement is a great way to increase the amount of omega-3 in your diet which helps the body by providing a healthy balance of triglycerides, supporting the nervous, cardiovascular, and immune system

There are other supplements that are helpful to the body and can help in weight loss.

Curative Sleep & Relaxation
All of us need to take time during each day to slow down the pace and give our minds and our bodies a break from the constant barrage of responsibilities and duties we are called on to perform.

Contrary to the idea that sleep is a time of inactivity, there’s a lot going on while our bodies are sleeping.  It’s the time when we’re actively involved in repair and maintenance of large and small injuries and insults.  During sleep, the body produces high levels of human growth hormone (HGH), which corrects damage to our cells and helps promote the formation of lean muscle tissue.

How well you sleep has a direct effect on your weight maintenance and weight loss.  If you are tired, you don’t feel like exercising or moving much, for that matter.  If you’re sleeping poorly, you may spend a greater number of hours either sleeping or napping, all of which is time of reduced caloric need.  Your metabolism goes down and you burn fewer calories.

Proper Hydration
It is important to drink at least two quarts of water a day. That may seem like more than you could possibly drink, but think about it this way: If you replace the some of the drinking of soft drinks, tea, and coffee with water, you will meet this goal. Coffee, tea, alcohol or soft drinks often have a diuretic effect (cause you to lose water), and you’ll need to drink twice as much extra water if you stay on these beverages.

Without enough water our metabolism will slow down. Which means weight gain.

Water and exercise together help to release toxins from our body which helps us to live a more healthy life.
