Festive feasting is often reflected in our weight. We carry extra pounds into the New Year and try to think of quick and “painless” tactics to get rid of them. How to avoid these problems and not gain weight over the holidays?
A crowded table is a staple of every festive moment in our homes. We get into the habit of indulging in what we deny ourselves during the weekdays. The occasional exception is in principle not detrimental to health or overall physical fitness. The problem is inadequate portions in the long term. This is followed by a feeling of fullness, discomfort and, with repeated overeating, extra pounds. However, you have a choice – choose less calorie-dense foods and ingredients, or eat with pleasure without overeating.
Many of us look forward to “sweet nothings” during the winter holidays. Passive rest is ideal for those whose work is physically demanding. Nowadays, sedentary jobs are prevalent, so we should compensate our bodies for the lack of exercise. It’s enough if you go for walks, hikes or lighter hikes during the holidays. It will benefit not only your body, but also your psyche. You will recharge your energy, relax your mind and relieve accumulated stress.
Did you know that too much salt in your food can also cause weight gain? You can’t always detect oversalted food. In fact, salt is often hidden, for example in your favourite smoked meat. The retained water produces the effect of extra pounds in the abdomen, but after a few days this condition subsides.
Do you like saltier foods? You are at risk of high blood pressure. Too much sodium puts a strain on the kidneys, which are unable to remove it from the body efficiently. Consequently, the aforementioned water retention and increase in the amount of blood in the body occur. The blood vessels and the heart become overloaded and blood pressure increases. Carnosine Extra helps to protect cells, can help with cardiovascular disease and also reduces leptin levels. This is the hormone responsible for inducing feelings of hunger. The higher the level of leptin in the blood, the more often it occurs. Our Carnosine Extra can thus help you manage weight loss more easily.
