Sugar May Be Bad, But This Sweetener Is Far More Deadly:

Hi everybody,
I hope that your Christmas was a very merry and relaxing one.
If your Christmas was anything like mine, you are probably thinking that you have managed to eat way too many sweets. Christmas would not be Christmas in our society if you did not feel tempted to eat more than you needed. The problem is never really Christmas when it comes to over eating habits and weight management; it is the other 364 days of the year!
Today I would like to offer a couple of suggestions that I have learnt to assist with understanding weight control and health matters.
Firstly, check your waist measurements and ensure that you keep below 80cm for women and below 94cm for men.
These measurements are an indicator for determining whether or not you are carrying too much fat. The dangerous fat is called Visceral fat. This fat surrounds your vital organs such as your heart, liver and muscles and is linked to heart attacks, diabetes and strokes. We can often refer to it as having a ‘pot belly’. Furthermore, this fat can be even present in thin people and they might not even be aware of it. My father had a sudden heart attack in his sixties yet he looked thin!
Whatever your shape and waist measurements, exercise is going to be an insurance and a friend. Exercise is one way that you can manage to deal with Visceral fat in your body. Exercise can have a dramatic effect quickly. Most people have the problem of never really getting started. Don’t let this be you. Start by doing something today. Try a 30 minute walk for starters.
Secondly, improve your diet.
Avoid sugars and reduce the intake of unhealthy carbohydrates such as white breads. Avoid saturated fats found in biscuits, fried foods, processed foods, cakes and take away foods.
