Two most important lifestyle factors can determine which way your body weight moves more than others.#1 Work-related physical activity. Individuals who walk and/or stay mobile as part of their jobs are less likely to be overweight.
#2 Dietary fiber.
There are two types of fiber that each in its own way affect your health. Soluble fiber – contained in foods such as oat bran, nuts, beans, and some fruits and vegetables -- prevent your body from reabsorbing bile acids in your gastrointestinal tract, which can lower your cholesterol. The second type is insoluble fiber found in wheat bran, whole wheat bread, and many vegetables -- absorbs water in your colon and can help keep you regular. Because fiber absorbs water, it can also help you feel fuller after taking in fewer calories.
The American Heart Association suggests that we consume at least 25 grams of daily which can help you lose weight while improving your heart health.
Increase your diet with fruits and vegetables, and make a point of trying higher-fiber breads, cereals, and rice. You can also meet your fiber goals with the use of a fiber supplement, but talk to your health care provider first.
