Seven Reasons To Keep Trying To Lose Body Fat

By Mike Miller 

Have you been trying to lose body fat, gotten on a scale? Yeah, you screamed, "Oh no! I gained three pounds!" Are you going through the cycle of starting, giving up, and starting again? It goes almost without saying that weight loss is very difficult, because of the daily temptations, misinformation, and schedules that get in the way. But it is important to keep trying to lose belly fat. Your life literally depends on it.
Here are seven reasons to keep refining your eating habits and ramping up your exercise.

1. Weight loss reduces heart problems. Did you know that being even moderately overweight increases your risk of heart disease, according to Science Daily, 2007? The bottom line is your body was built to carry only a certain amount of fat. It's kind of like a TV stand. If it can only take a 37" screen and you put a 50" screen on it, the stand will eventually break. Getting to your natural weight load means reducing the stress on your heart.


2. It can reduce diabetes risks. Being overweight is a result of eating the wrong kinds of food and eating too much of it. If you lose weight by eating right, you will reduce the stress on your body to produce insulin and lower your risk of getting diabetes in the first place, and if you have it already, losing body fat will help you to manage it. In fact, if you lose weight by eating healthy and doing cardiovascular exercise, you may even eliminate the symptoms of diabetes altogether!


3. It can reduce the risk of cancer. Studies show that your risk of cancer can go down when you lose body fat. By eating the wrong kinds of foods (i.e., bacon, candy), you increase the number of inflammatory cells in your body. This increases your cancer risk. If you eat healthy foods, you will decrease the number of these cells.


4. Weight loss can improve daily health. Overweight people get sick more often and experience a lower quality of daily health than people who are not overweight. Wouldn't it be nice to stay out of bed all day and not have to visit the doctor so much? Keep trying and learning!


5. It can help keep the job. Employers are considering the weight and appearance of potential employees, because overweight people get sick more often and accrue higher health risks and miss more work,. Therefore, they are more expensive to hire and keep around.


6. It can improve self-esteem. Imagine looking in the mirror and seeing a thinner and younger you! This is possible if you stick with your plan of losing belly fat. Being the right weight can make you feel better about yourself and lower your risk of depression.


7. It can multiply physical and mental energy. If you lose the pounds, you will feel like doing more, and you will be able to think more clearly, because you will be less exhausted from carrying around the weight you had to carry before.

These seven reasons are key to helping you to live longer and feel better about yourself, both inside and out.
