Millions of people all over the world suffer from extra weight. There are a variety of reasons that people have trouble losing weight and maintaining a healthy weight, but the problems caused by excess pounds are more than just a matter of looks.
Extra weight can hasten the appearance of signs of aging. The more weight you have on your body, the more the pull of gravity has an effect, and the sooner you are left with a sagging look. The extra stress that unnecessary fat puts on your heart and lungs leads to exhaustion, and a decreasing ability to perform cardiovascular exercise. With less exercise, you become less flexible, and your weight problems usually worsen. Extra weight can start a cascade of aging signs and symptoms!
Carrying unhealthy extra weight can lead to problems that are even more serious than exhaustion and premature aging. Insulin resistance can lead to Type 2 diabetes or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, conditions that come with a wide variety of nasty side effects such as poor circulation, increased healing time, and vision problems (diabetes) or unwanted facial and body hair and decreased fertility (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.)
Obviously, there are many reasons to want to lose weight. Reducing extra body mass can have a number of anti-aging effects on the inside and the outside.
An immediate effect that you will notice when you begin a healthy lifestyle and lose weight is that you will have more energy. Many people feel that being exhausted all the time is a natural part of aging, but in reality, lack of energy is due to extra weight, lack of exercise and sleep, and a poor diet. People who take care to keep their weight at healthy levels retain the energy they had in the prime of their lives. Even if you are still in the prime of your life, the difference you will experience with healthy weight loss will make you feel like a kid again.
Not only does losing weight give you a trimmer (and younger looking) silhouette, but shedding fat cells can make you look younger all over. Many toxins are stored in fat cells, and by breaking up those fat cells you will flush the toxins from your body. It may astonish you how many of your aches and pains that you have considered “normal” for years disappear once you lose some weight in a healthy fashion.
As all of your body’s systems start to function more efficiently due to weight loss, you are likely to notice a brighter, more even skin tone, less acne, and tighter, more resilient skin. You will reap these benefits without any creams or cosmetics—losing weight in a healthy way will be enough.
So, it is a fact that you can look and feel years younger if you lose weight healthily—but of course that is easier said than done. The average person has tried diet after diet and gimmick after gimmick with no success. Extreme diets can actually increase signs of aging, because they usually deplete the body of needed nutrients. Some weight loss products can lead to dehydration, which increases the look of lines and wrinkles.
HGH (Human Growth Hormone) therapy is a tried and tested method of losing weight and increasing youthful vitality. HGH is naturally produced by the body, but levels decrease with age. HGH is why young people maintain muscle mass and a healthy weight so easily, and why their energy levels are higher. HGH has been approved by the FDA as a weight loss drug, but not as part of an anti-aging regimen. As a result, even though this therapy is safe and effective, many physicians are reluctant to prescribe it. It is possible to find HGH precursors, however, which are substances that prompt your body to produce its own HGH. Some examples are Genf20Plus, GHR1000, and HGH advanced. Adding these to your routine helps your body function as it did when you were younger, which results in sustainable weight loss, as well as improved strength and energy.
HGH supplementation, like just about any other method of losing weight or stopping signs of aging, has both its supporters and its opponents. In truth, HGH therapy is similar to the hormone replacement therapy that thousands of post-menopausal women already rely on to increase their quality of life. A hormone naturally produced by the body, whose production decreases with age, is supplemented so that patients do not suffer the effects of aging.
Weight loss does have significant anti-aging benefits, as long as it is done safely. Many people have found success with lifestyle changes, supplements, detoxes, or hormone replacement therapies. There are very few people who won’t admit that they would love to experience the looks, strength, energy levels, and body they had in their youth, and healthy weight loss is the key.
