Introduction
Many young men and women have this stereotyped idea that they should all skinny-up. And that exact thought is the reason why we find a lot of unhealthy teens, facing eating disorders such as anorexia. And those who haven’t reached that state yet, are progressively heading towards it.
Facing that one problem, we have another, which is also damaging the brains of our young generation. And that is, losing weight.
A lot of adolescents, and grownups, have a very wrong idea of what a diet really is. Though going on a diet is like following up a road of righteousness, some tend to ruin their health by their mistaken idea of what a diet really is. A diet isn’t “simply not eating” nor “surviving on apples”, it is rather “eating the right stuff”. It is as simple as that. Now most of you know that, but tend to ignore it. Ignorance leads nowhere.
Some of you may find it hard to resist all the “yumminess” and “deliciousness” surrounding you, but that is why you should challenge yourselves, using the one gift you have that no other creature was lucky to get, your will power.
Will power is mostly ignored by mankind; some only use it when in need. However, to be able to transform yourselves into better human beings, inside and out, will power is all it takes. This does not mean to give up on chocolate bars, good cakes, or a perfect piece of pretzel, it is not always the quality, it is also the quantity.
Live in moderation. Cherish your many gifts as a human, most importantly, freedom of choice.
So that’s why, I, Rayan Tannir, will be giving you health tips on a regular basis. I will be glad to receive letters from you explaining your health problems, and will sure be honored to answer them.
Here are some of my start-up tips:
*Tip n.1: Do not confuse hunger with thirst. You may have a constant feeling of hunger hanging around, that is actually your body demanding water. Drink a lot of water throughout the day, and don’t be afraid to dehydrate them.
*Tip n.2: Whenever you feel like eating, ask yourselves “am I really hungry?”, and try looking for hunger signs in your body, such as a growling stomach. Beware of cravings, they are the motors of obesity.
*Tip n.3: Never eat till you feel stuffed! When you are done eating, you should feel better, satisfied, and not stuffed, bloated or tired!
*Tip n.4: Eat small quantity meals many times throughout the day, never exceed the size of your stomach, just imagine where all the food you eat are ending up, try to see if they visually fit.
*Tip n.5: Exercise! You want use up all the calories you consumed, do not leave them hanging in your system and turn into fat. Burn them!
Nevertheless, you should always keep in mind, that losing weight, takes time & patience. You will not lose weight over night. Moreover, losing weight should not make you feel unhappy with who you are, but rather excited to who you’re going to be.
No matter how you look like, what size you are, or shape you are, remember that this is who you are, and being who you are, is what matters the most, and changing your looks, will not change you. Keep that in mind.
Take care, till next time…
