Waist Reduction

Researchers have now discovered that a person who carries excess belly fat is at 4 times the risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease. This study found that a bulging waistline will increase your chances of dementia symptoms such as memory loss.

The latest estimates are that over 26 million people suffer from Alzheimer’s disease. The number is growing at an alarming rate and is having a devastating impact on families and healthcare systems. It is never too early to address the causes and seek methods of prevention. Waist reduction may be one of the easiest and least expensive ways to prevent this debilitating disease.

But waist reduction is easier to talk or read about than it is to actually accomplish. We would all like to be at our ideal waist size. But there is so much confusion about how to actually lose belly fat.

Confusion often begins at the grocery store. Here are some items that well-meaning people will purchase for losing belly fat. Don’t make the same mistakes.

• Slim fast shakes. These are not healthy. They are filled with high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, and other harmful chemicals. You won’t lose belly fat with slim fast shakes.

• Fat free rice cakes. It seems like everyone wanting to get to their ideal waist size starts with rice cakes. Big mistake. These are nothing more than refined starch with no fiber content. Rice cakes break down immediately into sugar in your body. This spikes insulin and promotes fat storage. Skip the rice cakes.

• Protein bars. Most of these are nothing more than glorified candy bars. They are full of hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, and large amounts of sugar alcohols. Leave the protein bars on the shelf.

• Canned fruit in syrup. This is not an adequate replacement for fresh fruit. There are worse things to eat than canned fruit but why not just go ahead and eat the real thing. Fresh fruit will give you fiber, healthy enzymes, and vitamins. You don’t need the sugar in these cans.

• Reduced sugar desserts. Just read the ingredients. Nothing but chemicals here.

As you can see marketing hype has done a great job on selling us plenty of products that simply will not work for waist reduction. What you really need to know is the truth. The number of serious medical problems being linked with a bulging waistline continues to grow.

So not only is your ideal waist size better for your appearance, it is also better for your health and wellness. Stop following fad diets and using gimmicks to lose belly fat. Learn the truth.
