Weight Loss by Building a Healthy Body Through Nutrition

by Rick Schaff

With so much information out there about weight loss and diets, it can be confusing to the average consumer about who or what is right. Being involved in the fitness industry for close to 20 years, I’ve come to realize that despite all these complicated claims about this diet or that diet, it’s really more simple then they’ve made it out to be. For this article, let’s focus on what creates a healthy body and I think you’ll see that weight loss can be simple.

Digestion of foods and drinks, in particular, foods and drinks that are broken down to supply your blood with high quality nutritional needs, creates blood that is rich with nourishment that can be transported to all parts of your body. This process is liken to building a strong foundation of a house. A strong foundation will support the structure to construct and reconstruct vibrant health with every meal that you eat. However, good circulation of blood is crucial in order for the essenials to fuel your body with genuine health.

If you think about blood circulating throughout your body, you can imagine actual physical movement. And actually, physical movement such as exercise, along with consumption of whole foods that are dense in natural nutrients is one of the best ways to keep your blood circulating throughout your body. With good blood circulation, your organs have an easier time nourishing your body so that you function at your best. You’ll want to keep the organs healthy as it has 3 basic functions that are important for your body:

1: Breakdown food to create blood for transportation.

2: Utilize the nutrients from the broken down nutrients to carry out specific cellular functions.

3: Remove unneeded by-products & wastes from the functions mentioned above.

Eating foods that are not in alignment with good nutrition, inhibits our bodies from performing certain cellular functions that eliminate built up toxins, including fat. With this excess buildup, we can become worn down to the point that our immune systems ability to fight illness is compromised. Moreso, losing weight becomes difficult.

Over the last decade, thousands of new supplements, diet fads and food products have been introduced to the marketplace, such as; fat-burners, fat-blockers, cortisol-blockers, sugar-free cookies, fat-free potato chips, high-protein diets, high-fat diets, low-carb diets, etc. Today, more people use diet products and eat more diet foods than any other time in history, and yet we are fatter than any other time in history. And not just fat, but as a society more and more obese!

We have been so inundated with losing weight quickly that we’ve filled our bodies with unnatural chemicals and restrictive diets that serve only to produce temporary results, at best. We have to come to realize that the way back to health and genuine weight loss is by simply going back to simple basics. It really is simple. We all have an internal guidance system that instinctively knows what is healthy for us. Think about it for a moment? Does a hot dog filled with sodium and nitrates match your innate cellular knowledge of health? Of course not! You might have even felt that “block” when you read that question. Listen to your instincts, it knows!

Make the decision right now that you will stop the cycle of following these fad diets and consuming these diet products and pills. Let me let you in on a little secret. I’ve personally worked with models, celebrities and professional athletes that get paid to endorse those products. And, when I’ve taken them aside the’ve told me that they would never take “that garbage.” I go more in depth about this in my book “Misled.”

The truth is that food can be either medicine or poison, and once you learn which is which only you can make the decision to eat healthy foods that will both fortify and heal your body.
