The Three S's of a Healthy Lifestyle in Weight Loss

In the previous article, the importance of integrating a healthy diet and exercise program with healthy lifestyle habits has also been emphasized. The question is: What exactly is a lifestyle that must be adopted for life and what is its effect on weight loss? This article will answer these two questions.

But first, we need to emphasize that the discussion will focus on three aspects of lifestyle - smoking, stress and sleep. Other aspects such as sexual and social behavior patterns are not discussed.

Smoking

If there is one advantage to smoking, it is activity that stimulates your metabolism. In a daily smoker, 250 calories are consumed from activity alone. Therefore, when you quit smoking, you will probably lose 2 pounds in 2 weeks after escaping from the turkey as your body has to deal with an additional 250 calories.

You will return to the habit of smoking because of your fear of gaining more weight, as illogical as it may sound. But you should stop smoking because your metabolism will be out in 2 months. So, any extra pounds you gain can be lost with the right diet and long-term exercise.

Also, you should consider the benefits of quitting smoking in relation to exercise and, therefore, weight loss. The heart, arteries, and lungs are healthier, which means that you have the physical ability to perform cardio exercises more intensely, more frequently and often than ever.

Pressure

Yes, stress can cause weight gain, which can be done physiologically and psychologically. First, the neuroendocrine system activates the hormone against or escapes as we face stressful situations, the adrenal hormones say, CRH (corticotropin releasing hormone) and cortisol. High levels of adrenaline and CRH reduce appetite, but the effects are temporary while cortisol improves appetite - combining the effects of these three hormones and you may experience food.

Second, stress can cause emotional eating even when stress is absent for a long time. For example, the death of loved ones at the scene of the tragic event is an extreme pressure on the emotions of people who lose their food as a major source of worldly comfort. We have heard many stories of people growing up in distress because of their sadness.

Sleep

During sleep, its relationship to weight loss can be traced to two hormones - leptin and ghrelin. Both of these hormones work in the scans and balance systems that control hunger (ghrelin) and saturation (leptin).

When you get enough sleep a day, your leptin levels go down as your ghrelin levels go up. The result is that you don't feel full even after eating a lot and you always look hungry. This is an excessive start and, therefore, an increase in weight.

So if you want to lose weight, we recommend kicking your cigarette habits, managing your stress levels and getting enough sleep - healthy lifestyle features. There are many ways to achieve this goal including exercising, practicing a healthy diet and using relaxation techniques, among others. But the most important thing is to start now.
