A Holistic View of Weight Control

A Holistic View of Weight Control
|Updated:
Many of us have struggled with dieting and losing unwanted pounds. Sometimes we are able to lose weight, but only to regain it back over time.  Taking a more holistic view of weight control increases our chances of success in the long run.

The basics of a holistic approach focuses not only on a healthy diet, but other factors, including emotional stress, exercise, and reducing toxic load. Toxins can accumulate in the body as metabolism by-products, oxidative stress, and problems with detoxification pathways. They also can be absorbed from the environment, including the air, water, and chemical exposure.  Toxic relationships can add to emotional stress in our lives and increase toxic load.
