Aging Gracefully – Why You Must Lose Weight Or Drop Some Pounds!

Being obese increases the risk of diabetes, cancer and heart disease, possibly shaving/removing at least 12 years or even possibly more off your life, this is according to an analysis in the journal “Obesity”. 

But being too thin can hike up your risk of osteoporosis and poor immune function. So it’s best to aim to stay at a weight that's healthy for you especially if your target is to age gracefully.

Your BMI has to adequate for your age, lifestyle and body size when you aspire to avoid diseases and disorders especially those that can lead to fatal consequences in the long run like heart diseases, diabetes and the likes.

But even as you aspire to have a healthy body you must work alongside having a healthy mind too as there is an interconnectivity between the mind and the body.

Whatever affects one will ultimately affect the other!

When you think healthy and positive thoughts like those of happiness, joy, peace and prosperity, this will increase the production of the “feel good hormone – serotonin” in the body.

As the hormones is released into the body, the activates the fine tuning of the body as the endocrine and immune system operate at optimal capacity leading to great health and vitality.

On the other hand, when you aren’t thinking healthy thoughts but rather depressing and negative thoughts fill your mind, correspondingly the body will respond to the vibration you are emitting.

This leads to the production of the stress hormone “cortisol” being produced in excess amount and released into the body, this hormones hardens the cell walls preventing normal cell activity for cell growth and development.

It also prevents the normal functioning of the endocrine and immune system leading to the body’s defense mechanism unable to function properly in protecting the body from harmful micro-organisms and consequently diseases.

In some instances the body’s defense system starts to attack itself because the DNA system has been altered due to wrong coding caused by the over production of stress hormones as a result of the negative thoughts passing through your mind.

For a lot of people, their outer circumstances dictate their moods and when things aren’t as they want them to be they immediately go into “depression’ and are even more unhappy as the day go by.

Eventually to counter this depressive state, they may succumb to trying to balance their craving for happiness by excess eating because food brings joy and the pleasure of the food and aroma.

So to make themselves happy, they eat and eat and eat more unable to stop themselves as they strive to balance the craving for joy and happiness which is their natural state of vibration.

They eat whatever they see especially foods loaded with sugar because of the sweets contained in, they are craving for “sweet” so foods that are sweet appeal to them so much that they lose control of the quantity to satisfy their lust and hunger.

Cravings cannot be satisfied by food so they continue to eat and eat as the mind is starved of the higher vibration of happiness and joy which they equate to “sweets”.

In the long run the sugar overload in the body cannot be broken down as quickly as they are produced because of the activity of the stress hormone so the body starts to store the sugar as body fat and the person starts to gain weight.

For some, as soon as they gain weight they start to question what is going on in their lives and can soon come to the understanding of what is happening in their mind and body.

For others, their sense of perception fails them and they continue to eat and eat even more and before you know it, they are “obese” and that causes concern as they are out of control and are actually in danger to themselves and their lives.

At this point, fats deposits are made on all the organs especially the lungs and heart and this can prove detrimental to the person in the long run as it can lead to heart attack and organ failure which if not handled properly and on time can lead to death.

So are you at this point already?

If yes, then it’s absolutely imperative to lose the weight and those extra pounds that could pose a threat to your life.

How do you do that?

By correcting your vibration via your thoughts and emotions from the negative downward spiral to the positive upward and rejuvenating ascent to your true essence and divinity.

Once your thoughts change to higher positive ones from the negative ones you were feeding the mind prior, the body responds in kind immediately because of the mind-body connection.

Then your organs and the entire body system start to function properly and you start to shed the weight and get back to an ideal weight size.

It’s all in your hands!

Taking responsibility and recognizing that we cause all of our core issues is not a reality for most people.

Taking responsibility to see life differently without justification, judgement and blame, rejection or anxiety, fear or anger would really help you in the long run.

Every condition, disease or disorder is a spiritual condition that has come up for review and to be dealt with and taken care of. Once the lesson is truly learnt and absorbed, the conditions or situation reverses itself and clears out and that’s when we say a healing has occurred and a miracle has happened.

Every problem preludes a negative thought and mindset so watch your thoughts and emotions carefully and guard them jealously.

Nothing can stop you if you have the courage, commitment and the discipline to move through your limitations.

‘Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love’

The purpose of life is to discover who you really are, know and create yourself and experience yourself as who you really are (not the body that houses you) as a part of the divine source to give and receive love and serve all creatures of the divine.

As long as you don’t or you refuse to see yourself as a victim then life becomes a challenge that you can overcome with commitment and consistent work and it will pay you back handsomely.

A lesson you avoided in a past life will be forwarded to the current life until you get the lesson right or understood the reason for it. Each time the lesson is more intense, than the last experience until you recognize it.

This is an interactive universe where we all work together in each other’s lessons and life whether we want it or not or whether we are aware of it or not.

Our fears always surface when we least expect it and when it does, its better to face the lesson and conquer it.

You can take back control of your life and drive it the way you would rather want it to be and have things and have things the way you want it to be.

It takes taking responsibility for all the wrongs that have happened in your life because whether you agree or not, you are held responsible for all your:

1. THOUGHTS

2. WORDS

3. ACTION

Nobody wants to listen to your cry of wolf or denial or victim mentality and it won’t take you far except you sit still, take stock of your life and determine and desire to turn it around and that’s where and when the answers or solutions come in.

If and when you are now truly ready to take back control and look out for the patterns and lessons in your life to understand the mind aberrations that are causing your problems and have taken control of your life.

That’s when the creative centers open within and you can finally have the tools to help you change the course of your life and manifest your destiny.

To succeed in life, you must refuse to see yourself as a loser no matter what the prevailing situation or condition might be and you evaluate what you can do to succeed.

The most important qualities are self-esteem, self-worth and self-confidence and that you understand that you are entitled to abundance in your life.

You can do anything you want to and be anything you want to, provided you believe that it is possible.

Victims do not hold that belief!

So ask yourself – are you a victim?
