The Secret Weight Loss Drug Within You

Health, Did you know that our emotions control most of our actions?  Actions such as what we eat and how much we exercise.  Let’s face it if you are feeling down you don’t feel like going for a walk or to the gym.  We have all heard of “comfort foods”  do you know why they are called that?  It is because they release certain hormones within our body.  These then produce “feel good” feelings.  Our emotions also control many of the hormones in our body.  The emotion of stress produces an overproduction of cortisol.  Cortisol is directive related to abdominal fat.  It also makes it very difficult to lose weight.  HAPPINESS IS THE SECRET WEIGHT LOSS DRUG!

Emotional control is an essential part of a thin and healthy life.  Pleasure is a powerful metabolizer that increases oxygenation and blood flow. It also decreases the production of Cortisol. Ultimately helping to burn fat and build muscle.

When you go out for a walk you increase your pleasure hormones.

Simply walking 10 minutes a day is a great way to start decreasing cortisol and increasing your pleasure hormones. When you walk it is helpful to look into the distance with your shoulders back and your head held up high.  Taking deep breaths while you are walking is also helpful in both elevating your mood and oxygenating your brain for increased clarity.  Start slowly and build up gradually increasing the time you walk.    

You will find that this turns into a most relaxing time for yourself.  I know that I personally have become practically addicted to waking up and walking.

Oxytocin is one of the most powerful feel good hormones. Until recently this has been a little known fact.

We have an entirely natural means of producing oxytocin in the brain and in our blood. Nurturing another, caring for a pet, giving selflessly, engaging in affectionate touch, massage, meditation, prayer, worship and exercise are all ways of producing Oxytocin.  Additionally this also creates more oxytocin receptors and makes these receptors more sensitive to oxytocin's effects. This hormone is especially powerful for women. 

In other words, we produce oxytocin naturally when we love and are loved. The more love we give and receive, the more "in love' we feel, Thus producing more Oxytocin the “stress busting happiness hormone”.

So feel good and use these very simple quick and easy methods to reduce stress and give you the most potent weight loss drug there is HAPPINESS.
