The Use of Calcium For Weight Loss
Calcium intake, either as foods high in it or in pill form, could serve to lose weight, according to some studies. But others deny this so strict, so we will wait for further research. In the meantime, and if not hurt us, it would not hurt, according to our doctor, we changed the menu a bit and look more sympathetic to the dairy and its derivatives.
A group of researchers from the University of Copenhagen (Denmark) has conducted a systematic review of human studies and concluded that “increasing calcium intake in the diet can increase fat excretion in feces and may play a role relevant in the treatment of obesity and the prevention of increased body fat. ” The result of this research has been published in Obesity Reviews. ”
But not just them: there are many prestigious publications in linking calcium intake with weight loss, based on serious research support the argument stated above: take calcium thins as it makes more fat is removed by feces. Especially in people who previously were taking plenty of calcium. The source of this mineral should be dairy and its derivatives, in preference to calcium supplements (pills), but not excluding them.
The reason that calcium could be thinner that inhibits the formation of fat and promotes lipolysis or destruction of fat cells, according to a recent study by the University of Tennessee (USA), out on animals. Other research, as performed at Laval University (Canada), suggest that the brain could detect the lack of calcium and try to compensate by eating more food.
The problem is that other scientists disagree with this so far and require further investigation. For example, last year, a team from the University of North Carolina (USA) reviewed 49 studies on the subject and concluded that in 41 of them (84%) revealed no positive effects of calcium weight reduction, in 3 (6%) reported an increase and only 5 of them (10%) had a weight reduction.
At this, the ordinary people who are overweight is puzzled: what to do? Additional studies that can give or take away the reason to favor calcium intake may take many years to see the light and see if in the end or not there is unanimity. We recommend to act logically and sensibly. Keep in mind that many dairy products can be harmful to the health of some people, because of its high fat content.

Exercise Helps to Supplement the Diet and Weight Loss of
To maintain the line, choose a diet and by exercise. It is best to opt for both at once, as they are complementary, both to lose weight to improve health.
Dieting to reduce weight is the most effective measure, no doubt. Even an expert in physical exercise, acknowledges that 70% of physical fitness comes from food and the remaining 30% is due to exercise, so that the ideal is to combine exercise with diet.
The main problem is the lack of consistency. The gym can be tough and boring, and therefore the concept of fitness is changing to become increasingly a place of leisure, rather than of effort and suffering. “A kind of social club,” said Angel Santos.
To this end, many gyms are introducing new exercises, more entertaining and interactive. For example, the “Spinning” is music for aerobic exercise bike, and in it the music changes depending on the training. No more listening to our dull and exhausting only gasp or the sound of the pedals. The “Fitball” are balls of colors and large size, and an ideal instrument to liven up the exercises.
Anything goes, then, to combat boredom during the year. And if we do not like gyms, maybe we can save the bus and make the journey to work on foot, walking through the forest, regularly practicing a sport and a thousand other possibilities to complement and strengthen our diet, improving the way, our state health.
