What Are the Five Concepts of Weight Management?

Weight management is an important part of staying healthy and can be a challenge no matter your size or shape, genetics, or age. It is one part of a strategy to live a longer, healthier life that is full of vitality. Being overweight, even just a little can cause chronic illness,  lead to inflammation and can cut our lives short.  With all the science and health information these days, there is no reason we cannot increase health and vitality.  If you are looking for adult weight management services or weight loss management in the UK, Pearl Chemist Group has compassionate, supportive programmes all over the UK.

Here are five easy concepts for you to get used to concerning weight management.  If you start with these, you’ll be well on your way to increase health and vitality!

  • Exercise often -  exercise can be any regular movement that is appropriate for your fitness level.  If you have mobility issues, you can do it from a chair.  If you can walk, taking a walk counts!
  • Eat a healthy breakfast daily - there is the old adage - breakfast is the most important meal of the day. There is truth to this, provided that meal is healthy.  Breakfast should include proteins to get your brain working. Stay away from sugar and processed foods in the morning.
  • Stay Hydrated - this might be harder than it seems!  You should aim to drink about 64 oz per day.  That is about 8 glasses of water. An easy way to accomplish this is to drink one glass of water just before you eat and one just after you eat (that’s 6 already!) and then you only need to get two more in!
  • Manage Stress - stress management is important.  When we experience stress, we release the stress hormone cortisol, which interferes with insulin production. Our insulin spikes with stress and when we calm down, our body signals us to eat to replace the perceived lost energy.  Managing stress can take many forms - exercise, meditation, long baths, yoga, meditation and so forth. Remove toxic people from your life.  
  • Supplement your weight loss strategies  - this means getting support. Join a weight loss management programme, or an adult weight management service. Get others on board with you. Take accountability.  Make it fun, if you can.
