January 16th-22nd is National Healthy Weight Week, which means it’s a great time to check in with yourself and evaluate your health and dieting habits to make sure you are taking care of your body in a balanced and sustainable way.
Healthy Weight Week is a public health campaign geared toward spreading awareness about the dangers of crash dieting and unhealthy weight-loss fads in the hopes of promoting long-term healthy lifestyle habits.
From obsessive calorie counting, to dangerous surgical treatments, these so-called weight-loss “solutions” are abusive to the body, and almost always end up backfiring as soon as they come to an end.
The main problem with most quick-fix diets and treatments is that they are strictly cosmetic. Rather than focusing on nourishing the body with healthy, nutrient-rich foods that promote natural weight loss, they are only concerned with getting you to look a certain way as quickly as possible. This puts a lot of undue stress on the body, which makes these diets impossible to sustain over a long period of time. However, when you go about weight loss with health as your primary goal, and implement your diet as a lifestyle change rather than a temporary fix, your body responds by feeling better and looking better, almost right away. And because you are actually giving your body the nutrients it craves, rather than depriving it of calories, the results are much easier to maintain.
At OHI, we promote a holistic approach to healthy eating with a cleansing and detoxifying program that results in a number of key health benefits—weight loss being just one of them! From improved digestion, to better circulation and a stronger cardiovascular system, the right diet can improve the way you look and feel from head to toe.
With a vegetable and wheatgrass juice cleanse and a nutrient-rich raw food diet, combined with light exercise, colonic cleanses and proper food combining, you’ll learn sustainable habits that will help you maintain a healthy lifestyle, while ridding your body of excess weight and damaging toxins. In just days, you’ll begin to see and feel the results of what a clean, raw diet can do for your weight and overall health.
While next week marks National Healthy Weight Week, maintaining your health is important 365 days a year. The OHI program is a holistic way to enrich your body, mind and spirit.
