9 Unique Tips To Lose Weight

With obesity on the increase and GMO's being proven as a key cause, natural alternatives to pills and drastic surgery seem a much healthier, less invasive option.

Obesity is on the increase. According to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 35.7% of American adults are obese [1]. GMO foods have been named a major factor in this increase. According to a Norwegian study undertaken over 10 years, it was found that animals in this test that were fed GMO corn, gained weight faster and retained it for longer, compared to those fed a non-gmo diet. [2]

There are a number of diet fads, miracle pills claiming to make you lose weight quickly and expensive surgeries such as gastric bands. However the risks of using these methods can be costly to both one's health and bank balance.

The key to losing weight is simple and easy. By making changes to the types of foods you eat, portion sizes and getting a decent amount of exercise on a daily basis will have a far greater impact than any other method. Not only will your body look better, but your health will be greatly improved also.

These 9 tips are great for losing weight:

Honey approximately 10 grams mixed with lukewarm water is a great natural home remedy to help with obesity.
Cabbage is well known on the fad diet list for helping with weight loss. Although when eaten with a healthy diet can be extremely beneficial. The chemical tartaric acid in cabbage works by stopping the body from converting sugar and carbohydrates into fat.
Raw tomatoes eaten in the morning will have a significant impact over 3 months.
Curry leaves work by flushing out fat and toxins in the body. Eating 10 -12 leaves daily for 4 months will achieve results.
A lemon, cayenne pepper, honey combination is another detox method for losing weight. A teaspoon of honey , a dash of pepper and 3 teaspoons of lemon juice daily for 3 months will aid in reducing body fat.
Dandelion root in the form of a tea (or tisane) aids digestion, is a natural detox and thus aids the natural weight loss process. Green Tea is known to help boost metabolism. Drink 3 cups daily.
Ginger and Lemon tisane is a great appetite suppressant which can be very beneficial when reducing portion sizes.
Mint paste has been known to keep you feeling fuller for longer.
Carrot juice, drank regularly, is packed full of dietary fiber which aids in digestion and keeps your stomach and intestinal tract healthy.

Remember the best way to lose weight and stay healthy is to drink plenty of water, eat natural foods that mother nature intended and take exercise regularly.

Surprising health benefits of avocado!

Who doesn't like a bit of guacamole? Well it may turn out that there is much more to like about the super-fruit avocado than just the flavor!

Nature's health insurance!

Anti Cancer: Avocados are a rich source of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that attacks free radicals in the body by blocking the absorption of certain fats in the intestines. Scientists also suspect that avocados may be useful in treating viral hepatitis, a cause of liver cancer.

Helps Diabetes: Avocados are absolutely packed with monounsaturated fats also known as "the good fat." These fats actually help lower bad or LDL cholesterol and raise beneficial HDL cholesterol in the blood. Cholesterol management is crucial for diabetes patients due to the heightened heart disease risk due to diabetes. Monounsaturated fats may also help the body process insulin and glucose more readily. Avocados also tout high levels of Vitamin E which is believed to reduce the risk of heart disease and nerve damage in diabetics.

Reduces Inflammation: Since avocados remove free radicals, they prevent cell damage and reduce inflammation throughout the body. Some even believe that consuming avocados regularly can slow the process of aging!

Remember that avocados can be incorporated into several recipes and even help you absorb more of the nutrients from the meals in which they are included and even aid in weight loss! The darker part of the fruit closest to the skin contains most of the beneficial compounds so don't let any go to waste! Oh yeah, plant the seed too.
