To lose excess fat you can cut out the artificial sweetener known as high fructose corn syrup. HFCS has been linked to America’s obesity epidemic. Not to mention the negative effects it has on your gastrointestinal health. The man made sweetener is banned for food production in several countries yet America continues to use it because of how cheap it is compared to natural sugars. I have cut this ingredient out of my diet at the age of 11. First I started out by lowering the amount of sodas I was drinking and switching to water instead. Over time you begin to crave it less and can cut it out completely. However, you have to pay close attention to food ingredient labels and check if what you’re consuming contains high fructose corn syrup. It can be difficult to completely stop eating HFCS, but even lowering the amount can help you lose fat.
Making healthy eating choices and regular exercise are the most important to maintaining a healthy weight. Meaning you are eating proper portion sizes, eating foods with high nutritional value, and avoiding foods that contain lots of added sugars. As for exercise you don’t need to run a mile everyday but try to move for at least 30-60 minutes each day, even if that means walking or doing yoga in your home. Make sure to drink enough water during exercise. Staying hydrated can help with weight loss as well. Even someone who isn’t overweight should make choices for proper nutrition and regular exercise. it’s helpful to your overall health and happiness!
