Important Tips For Weight Management
Ever find yourself wondering if you've crossed the line in terms of your weight? It's a sensitive topic, even for we of the feline persuasion. But, truth is, weight plays a critical role in our overall health.
While we often think of too much weight as the primary health risk, being underweight presents its own set of health challenges as well. While pawing my way through the mountain of literature on weight management, this kat came up with several tools that you might find interesting and very useful.
The first is the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute's tool for calculating your Body Mass Index (or BMI). A person's BMI is really one of the best indicators of whether you are underweight, healthy weight, overweight or obese. Although, there is a correlation between waist size and health risk.
Here's some even better news, though fair readers... because proper supplementation can play such an important role in weight management. I have come up with a list of helpful supplements that you may want to add to your weight management program:
Alpha Lipoic Acid - supports normal blood sugar metabolism and detoxification (essential in the weight management process).
Aceytl L-Carnitine - by enhancing the effects of other antioxidants, Acetyl L-Carnitine helps the body properly manage its inflammatory response as we increase our exercise (especially critical because for people over 30 or those who may be obese, the body's natural production of Aceytl L-Carnitine is not sufficient).
Chromium Picolinate - supports healthy blood sugar levels critical for managing one's glycemic index
Constant Health - an advanced rice protein formula providing a powerful supply of nutrients and vital minerals and vitamins that support intestinal absorption and detoxification. Sweetened only with stevia and xylitol, this great nutritional support drink helps you maintain a balanced glycemic index.
CoQ-10 - usually associated with its ability to support cardiovascular health, CoQ-10 also plays a role in weight management by enhancing the body's metabolism and assisting the body in maximizing the burning of food for fuel (thus helping normalize the fats in our blood).
Raspberry Ketones - aside from being loaded with antioxidant power, studies suggest that Rasperry Ketones can actually stimulate fat loss and regulate metabolism through a number of different means, especially when paired with a healthy diet and exercise.
That's all for now fair readers. I hope you have made your shopping list, I know I have. Next time we meet you may find a slimmer, trimmer Kat!
