It’s Your Health – The Incentive You Need To Diet Successfully

By Jim Nettleton

If you find yourself lacking in will to diet and lose that body fat, just consider the ultimate benefit you’ll receive from shedding pounds. No, it’s not that you’ll look better in that swimsuit or expensive outfit, although that is a compelling thought.

It’s your health. There are undeniable benefits to your health when you manage your weight intelligently. One of the major issues that come to mind is diabetes. An unfortunately high percentage of the population either has diabetes or is at risk of contracting it, largely because of being overweight or just plain obese.

The health problems that diabetes brings to the table are legion. Did you know that diabetes is the leading cause of blindness? That it is a leading contributor to kidney disease? Diabetes also radically increases your chance or having a heart attack or stroke, can cause erectile dysfunction in men and makes it far more likely that you’ll suffer high blood pressure.

Another serious effect of diabetes is that it contributes to snoring, which leads to poor quality of sleep and the resulting lower energy levels that this produces. All of this results in a vicious cycle; poor quality of sleep and the lower energy levels you suffer will make it more likely that you’ll eat more, in a subconscious effort to get more energy. That makes it more likely that you’ll make your overweight condition worse.

Losing a goodly portion of your body fat will help with all the above problems. It not only will help right now, but will also dramatically reduce your chances of developing health problems later in life.

The problem of being overweight and obesity is most severe in America, where our predilection for fast foods, a generally fatty diet and a lack of exercise has caused generations to be seriously overweight. Unfortunately, the problem is all too apparent in the young. In generations past, exercise was the norm. When I was a kid, we had to fight to find a ball field to play on. They were all almost always in use. We were active during nearly all of our free time.

Today, with video games and general computer activity, kids don’t seek exercise and the result is all too apparent.

The consequences of today’s trends in being overweight are severe and present long-term serious challenges. It all starts with diet and weight management. You’re never too young to begin controlling your weight in order to avoid the major health problems that being overweight or obese will present throughout your life.
