Lose weight and live longer
I am one of those people who puts on weight just by looking at food! For this reason I always watched what I eat and always did regular exercise from aerobics to weight training and took part in sports from karate to squash.
I was doing reasonably well in keeping fit and keeping the weight under control. I had no idea of the scientific how and why behind it I just knew that it worked for me.
Until a few years ago when out of the blue, I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis/Chrohn’s disease, an inflammatory bowl disease, with symptoms very similar to bowl cancer, the causes of which is still a mystery to science and medicine.
It was the most devastating thing that happened to me worst even than my divorce! Especially as the first course of treatment, a high dose of steroids, made me put on an awful lot of weigh in a very short space of time.
After a few weeks on steroids, all my years of effort in eating healthy, keeping fit and controlling my weight seemed to have been wiped out.
I got so depressed about my appearance that I didn’t want to go anywhere at all and of course when you are depressed and stay at home what do you do? You eat, eat and eat! Chocolate, cake and all the comfort food that make you fat!
But I am not the kind of person who gives up easily and though I may suffer in silence for a while when the going gets tough, I always come back with a vengeance and try to make things right.
It took me a long time to research different exercise methods and diet plans but finally I cracked the code and found the answer I was looking for. How to lose my extra weight and keep it down.
Research
Being overweight is now considered one of the most serious public health problems of 21st century.
This has compelled the scientific world to conduct extensive research into causes of obesity as a disease.
The results have been astonishing and eye opening.
Being over weight not only affects your heart and lungs, it also affects your brain.
A recent study by the Alzheimer’s society showed that having a large abdomen significantly increases your risk of dementia.
Our bodies are made for movement just like a car. If you leave a car in the garage without moving it or running the engine from time to time, after a year, the engine won’t start! Our body is just the same and the body’s engine is the heart.
Though genetics and neurological factors may have something to do with obesity in many, the fact remains that most people’s weight gain is due to three basic elements:
1- Fat / calorie intake
2- Lack of exercise
3- Lifestyle
If you really want to lose weight, feel good and stay young, you need to speed up your metabolism and build muscles.
Diet plans and slimming pills
The problem with most weight loss diets and programs is that they don’t take into account the body’s basic function, metabolism, which is the process of turning food to fuel.
Most diets concentrate on Calorie count, water loss and carbohydrate intake more than anything else and as for diet pills, oh, don’t even go there, they are a total waste of time and money.
Looking good
Everyone wants to look good and feel healthy. Everyone wants to live a happy and fulfilling life and everyone wants to stay young and independent for as long as possible.
Being overweight is not only bad for your health, it’s also bad for your self- esteem as it is now highly stigmatised by the society. I know that because I’ve been there!
So is there a fountain of youth out there? The answer is positively YES.
Finding this fountain of youth has been man’s quest for centuries but really it has always been around and in plain view.
It is not an elixir that you drink and instantly become immortal, it is not a quick fix, easy solution, a magic pill that you just drop into your mouth and feel young immediately.
It’s not simply a matter of pushing a button and getting the desired result
Product
After my terrifying experience with weight gain and months of research I found out that all I needed was to boost my metabolism and let my body do the rest.
This discovery was so exciting that I decided to write a book on it and that’s how “How to boost your metabolism and lose that weight” came about.
It explains what metabolism is, how it works, and how you can speed it up.
It talks extensively about how to exercise, what foods are good for you and how your body works for you to help you achieve your goal (lose that weight and keep it off).
It’s written with the everyday person in mind, following a lot of far-reaching research, to educate and inform.
It also investigates some of the diet plans and pills and gives an informed account of why they don’t really work.

Baby boomers unite
I was born on 3rd October 1950 In Iran (Persia) so I am one of the baby boomers everyone is now talking about, approaching retirement age.
OK I was not born in the west and among the 76 Million Americans, but hey, Iran was a thriving, trendy, and prosperous country then, a friend of the world! An envy of the rest of the Middle East. And my town Tehran, was named “the Paris of Middle East” with all the good looking men and women who loved to mingle in high society, posh restaurants and clubs, showing off their latest French outfits and largest and fastest American cars.
I remember my dad’s first car was a huge pistachio colour Chevy, Ok may be it wasn’t all that huge, but I was really small then, probably under 6 years old. That was before he got the taste for German cars and bought his white Mercedes.
Anyway, who cares these days about race and religion! After all we are all made up of the same material aren’t we? Flesh, blood, molecules, cellulite and cholesterol!
So this blog is about baby boomers and getting them all united, wherever
they are.
I like to see people comment on my posts, I’d like them to share their stories and experiences here. This could be our very own social club where we teach the younger generation how to “live long and prosper”.
I will tell you my story, how I managed to make life easy for myself even though at times it was really tough and unbearable. How I kept my spirits up even at my lowest and darkest hours and how I kept going and going as if there was no tomorrow! Hopefully these stories will be educational, inspirational and entertaining. So keep coming back because the stories are now pouring out and there is no stopping me!
