No Comments on 10 Tips To Become A Positive Thinker

Practicing optimistic thinking enables individuals to concentrate on their strengths as well as accomplishments that enhance contentment and motivation. It is so much easier to go through the day and to be truly successful when you are less worried about failing and more excited about succeeding.

Also, I find that there are enough ways that we are kept down, not feeling great about ourselves, and just by thinking positive and getting a better outlook on life we will be happier, better adjusted and excited for what is coming next.

The following 10 tips for having a positive mindset offer useful suggestions which you can use to assist you to shift into better thinking patterns.

Tips To Practicing Positive Thinking

1. Take Proper Care of Yourself – It is easier to stay positive while you are consuming well, doing exercises, and getting adequate rest.

To do these things I try to eat well and feel positive about the fuel I am putting in my body, workout, and get high quality sleep. When I sleep poorly it really drags down my attitude

2. Recall the Things You’re Grateful For – Taking only one minute each day to stop and enjoy the good things can make a big difference. Whether it is a quick check in during the day in your mind or a journal, knowing that you are doing whats right and heading in the right direction always helps.

Tensions and challenges do not appear quite as bad whenever you are continually recalling the things which are correct in life.

3. Search for the Proof rather than Making Assumptions – In case you have a concern that a buddy or family member’s poor mindset is because of something you performed, or that your fellow workers are privately gossiping regarding you whenever you turn your back, do not hesitate to ask them.

Do not waste your time worrying that you performed something incorrect until you have evidence that there is anything to be concerned about.

4. Avoid making use of Absolutes – Speaking and thinking in absolutes such as ‘always’ ( for example, You’re ALWAYS late ) and also ‘never’ (for example, You NEVER contact me ) makes the situation appear even worse than it is.

This though forces your brain to believe that certain individuals are not capable of delivering. What is the one that can’t deliver is you? Never put yourself down with your own self talk.

5. Remove Negative Thoughts – Your thoughts cannot have any power over you in case you do not assess them. If you observe yourself developing a negative thought, remove it, and do not follow it.

This follows on the step above. Why would you thing that you are bad at something. Concentrate on your strengths, work on your weaknesses. Always be growing better and stronger.

6. Crush the “ANTs” – “ANTs” (automatic negative thoughts) are actually the bad thoughts which are generally reactionary, such as “Those guys are giggling, they must be referring to me,” or “The boss wishes to meet me? It must be awful!”

When you observe these types of thoughts, understand that they are simply ANTs and just crush them.

7. Practice caring and touching (Your family and friends) – You do not have to be a professional to understand the advantages of a great hug.

Positive bodily contact with buddies, family members, and even domestic pets is an immediate pick-me-up.

8. Enhance your Social Activity – By boosting social activities, you reduce solitude. Surround yourself with happy, healthy folks, and you will be affected by their positive energy in a positive manner.

The most important way to do this is not online but just 1 on 1 hanging out with people that can help you recognize your gifts and encourage.

9. Help someone else – Everybody feels great after helping. It is possible to volunteer your cash, your time, or your assets.

If you put more positive energy into the environment, you will receive more in exchange.

Make sure you are encouraging others. You know what they say, What goes around comes around. Especially when you act to help and uplift others.

10. Combat Rumination – If you are ruminating, the best way to prevent it is to disrupt the pattern and compel yourself to perform something totally different.

Rumination is similar to hyper-focus on something which is negative. It is never effective since it’s not logical; it’s simply too much worry. Try altering your physical surroundings – go for a stroll or sit outdoors. You can also call a buddy, go through a book, or listen to some music.

Super Obese numbers in Canada are rising

No Comments on Super Obese numbers in Canada are rising

In Canada we get a lot of stories in the news about obesity in the US and sometimes I thing that we look at ourselves as immune to the obesity issue.

Of course that is not at all true and bad habits in the US are the same as the bad habits in Canada. While many people look at the magic BMI number of 30 as the divider of obese or not, there is a number that determines super obese (I of course hate the whole BMI numbering, but that is another conversation).

So why and how is this super obesity epidemic happening? What can we do about it?

First, What Is Super Obese?

According to the 2004 Canadian Community Health Survey, 2.7 per cent of the population had “class III” obesity, meaning a BMI of 40 or more. But Dr Raj Padwal and others believe the prevalence of extreme obesity is now closer to four or five per cent, or about 1.5 million Canadians who are severely obese.

One in four adult Canadians, or about 6.3 million people, were obese in 2011–2012. Since 2003, the proportion of Canadians who were obese has increased 17.5%.
More men than women were obese, and obesity has increased more for men than women over the past eight years.

“It’s a bit disappointing that after five or six decades of flogging exercise and lifestyle modification that we haven’t been more successful, not just in the severely obese but in preventing the spread or rise in general obesity and over,” he says.

“I think it speaks to the fact you can’t really say to someone, ‘this is what you need to do. Eat healthier, be more active. Go home and do it.’ It just doesn’t work. It works in a minority of people who are highly motivated and have the means to do it.”

In 2014, 600 million adults (13%) worldwide as well as 42 million children under the age of five were obese. Obesity is more common in women than men.Authorities view it as one of the most serious public health problems of the 21st century

At Montreal’s Royal Victoria Hospital, the obesity surgery program has been closed to patients with a BMI below 55 for more than a year, because of demand.

What Are The Dangers Of Super Obesity?

Obesity increases the risk of many physical and mental conditions. These comorbidities are most commonly shown in metabolic syndrome, a combination of medical disorders which includes: diabetes mellitus type 2, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, and high triglyceride levels.

Complications are either directly caused by obesity or indirectly related through mechanisms sharing a common cause such as a poor diet or a sedentary lifestyle.

The strength of the link between obesity and specific conditions varies. One of the strongest is the link with type 2 diabetes. Excess body fat underlies 64% of cases of diabetes in men and 77% of cases in women.

Patients with a BMI over 55 are the ones most likely to die from complications related to their obesity over the next three to five years, says Dr. Nicolas Christou, director of the bariatric surgery program at McGill University Health Centre.

“Four hundred, 450 pounds, those are the type of people who make it into our system,” Christou says.

“It’s getting much worse than we think. Rome’s burning and we’re fiddling, basically. The only ones that are really seeing it are the few of us in the trenches who have to deal with it.”

Christou was recently scheduled to operate on a woman with a body mass index of 72. She has leg ulcers and can barely walk. “She’s such a pleasant lady. You can see she’s going to be dead in six months unless she gets operated on.”

For the super obese, “it’s a vicious circle,” he says. “The heavier they get, the less exercise they can do, the bigger they get, the more depressed they get, the more they eat.”

Why Are People Becoming Super Obese?

The majority of the super obese suffer from one or more of the following, Lau says: sugar diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, high blood fat and cholesterol, sleep apnea, fatty liver, hiatus hernia, gallbladder disease and joint pain.

Padwal says people with extreme obesity suffer disproportionately from depression or have difficulty coping, mentally, with social problems.

“Broken homes, single parents with many kids working many jobs, living in poor conditions. Those factors I think contribute substantially to the elevation in BMI.”

He says emotional eating is a significant problem. “They may cope by overeating. They lose control and gain substantial amounts of .”

Lau says people are bombarded by confusing and mixed messages about diets and loss, “to the point they say, to heck with it, I’ll do what I feel like doing.”

“The public is somewhat fatigued. Every day there’s a new diet, every day there’s something new. We don’t have simple ways to help people tackle the and there are misconceptions about how easy it is to gain the .”

Mixed Messages. How Are People Eating Too Much?

Groups such as the Heart and Stroke Foundation and Canadian Cancer Society recommend people eat five to 10 servings of fruit and vegetables per day “without telling people if you eat more fruits and vegetables you have to cut back on the other foods,” Lau says.

“It may be healthier for your heart, it may be healthier for your gut but when it comes to calories the body does not distinguish healthy foods from junk foods. When it comes to gain, it’s all about calories.”

Similarly, Lau says that exercising is a “horribly inefficient way of burning up calories.”

“That’s not to say David Lau does not prescribe exercise. Exercise is great for heart health. It’s great for improving insulin sensitivity but it’s not good for losing calories because you have to work out a lot.”

In order to lose one pound of stored fat, people need to burn 3,500 calories. “People who are over think that just by walking they can burn up a gazillion calories. Little do they know to burn 100 calories they have to walk at a brisk pace for 15 minutes,” Lau says.

A Little Loss Weight Goes A Long Way

For super obesity, often the only thing that works is stomach-shrinking surgery.

But Lau says even a five- to 10-per cent body loss can significantly reduce the risk for diabetes, heart disease, stroke and cancer.

A five-per-cent body loss is associated with a 60-per-cent reduction for the risk of diabetes.

6 Steps to Healthy Weight Loss Easily

No Comments on 6 Steps to Healthy Weight Loss Easily

Losing weight has gotten a bad reputation. People avoid it, dread having to do it, try it and give up, and generally approach it with the idea in mind of how hard it is! But it can be much easier than that.

The trick is to approach it gradually. Don’t try to make huge changes all at once.

Make one small change at a time and give yourself some time maybe a week or more to get used to it. Then add on another small change.

If you keep it up, which is not very hard to do, after only a few weeks you will start to notice changes in your energy, your strength, and how your clothes fit.

What kinds of things can you change? Well, we can start by remembering that weight loss or weight gain come from the foods you put into your body and the exercise you do with it. That gives us a lot of possibilities. One week you can add a short walk after dinner or lunch.

Another week you can start cutting down your portion sizes by 20% to 30%. If you’re in a restaurant, you can stop after a healthy portion, and even avoid wasting it by taking the rest home.

Other changes you can make might be changing one of your daily snacks from chips to tasty fruit, or substituting baked foods instead of fried ones.

By taking it step by step, you never feel pushed too fast, which prevents you from resisting or feeling out of sorts. So you lose without really noticing it. Here are some general areas to give you ideas for other small changes you can make:

6 Great Ideas To Speed Weight Loss Easily

1. Controlling calories vegetables have a lot less than carbs or fatty foods. And spices and baking can go a long way toward giving you a substitute for that yummy fried, salty, fatty taste. In fact, after you get used to healthier food, you will probably find your old favorites to be much too heavy, over-salted, and oily. Plus you can still eat protein of any kind, since that helps you burn calories faster.

2. Limiting your portion sizes we are taught to clean our plate. But if you are facing a mountain of foods in front of you, the better part of valor is not to go on the attack!

3. Replacing a few large meals with many small ones much better for your blood sugar levels and more.

4. Choosing fresh foods instead of processed ones processed foods virtually always have way too much salt, sugar (or sugar-containing ingredients), and fats. Food products like that are cheaper to produce and don’t spoil as fast. But what’s good for food processing or shelf life is often bad for your body. Fresh and whole is better for you.

5. Exercise helps you stay healthy, more youthful, and burns calories too. This doesn’t mean endless pounding workouts, just more than today. Try walking around the neighborhood and then longer and at a faster pace as time goes on.

6. Small easy steps make it much easier on you than huge changes. They give you a chance to make yourself at home with your new eating and exercise habits, and to adjust them to fit you the way you like.

Taking it slow and easy also protects you against the risks of rapid weight loss, like a sudden release of toxins from your fat cells into your bloodstream, or having to buy a whole new wardrobe all at once.

Why do it the hard way when you can do it the easy way? Enjoy the healthy changes coming to you everyday instead of dreading that next workout, if you are dreading it then you are working out too hard for the long term.

Now you know the secret to making weight loss easy. You probably don’t need a complicated system or expensive foods or equipment. It’s so much easier than that! Once you’ve experienced it for yourself, you may end up wondering why you ever thought it was so hard.
