The World Health Organization estimates that one-quarter to one-third of cancer cases are related to being overweight and inactive. Research has found that weight gain can lead to a higher risk for colon, prostate, endometrial, esophageal, kidney and post-menopausal breast cancer.
Excess fat cells function as hormone pumps to produce higher levels of insulin and estrogen. When this occurs, cells divide more rapidly and if something in the cell goes awry, the resultant cancer cell also reproduces and follows a pattern of rapid replication. Lets be honest, people want to lose weight and they want immediate results, but this is just wishful thinking. To lose weight permanently and effectively it will be a rather slow progress, all depending on your metabolic rate and how much you need to lose. There are however some proven tried and true methods for aiding in the weight loss process, and I can make you familiar with them. 1. Don’t skip breakfast. Whatever you do follow this advice, because otherwise you are much more likely in fact prone to binge later in the day. 2. Don’t eat anything for at least an hour before going to bed. 3. Don’t snack while watching TV. It’s acceptable to eat a meal while watching television, but never is snacking at this time acceptable. 4. Substitute fruits like; bananas, watermelon, plums, peaches, and oranges for sugary treats like; cookies and candy. 5. Substitute honey for sugar, and carob powder for chocolate in all recipes. 6. Eat more vegetables. This can even be enjoyable if you have a good cookbook like Good housekeeping's latest edition. 7. Avoid unnecessary high calorie foods. 8. Exercise at least a half hour each day for 5 days out of the week. |
