SMASH STRESS,LOSE MORE FAT!!

3/12/2016

According to the findings in the journal BBA Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, to improve your chances of melting body fat, take a look at the chronic stress in your life: from wonky family relationships, demanding job stress, financial stress, health stress, etc. Some of the blame for your weight loss problems can be placed on a protein, betatrophin, stimulated by chronic stress. This protein inhibits the action of the enzyme that breaks down stored body fat. Here are 5 stress reducing strategies promoted by the American Psychological Association to pursue a balanced life and achieve more successful long term weight loss.

1.  Step away (if u can) from what's stressing you - Walking away, even for just 20 minutes, can help reduce stress.
2.  Exericse! A 30 minute workout can provide several hours of stress relief.
3.  Smile and laugh more! Stressed people often hold it in their faces.  Smiling and laughing impacts the facial muscles and may relieve some if it.
4.  Seek social support. When you share your concerns or feelings with another person, it alleviates stress.
5.  Meditate. When practicing meditation, even briefly (5 minutes a day), you can release emotions that may have been causing your body stress.

Quote of the day: There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.
