Book review: Your action plan for weight loss

Reducing excess weight is not easy, regardless of the method you choose. Going to the gym, running great distances, or switching to a vegetarian diet are some ways that people try to lose weight, but they don't see any real results. Even while diet and exercise alone have helped many people lose weight, it takes perseverance and willpower. 

Changing your perspective on what you eat can have a significant impact on your motivation and discipline because many people who have been successful at losing weight eventually start gaining it back. Sena Coffi, the author of "Your Action Plan To Weight Loss," describes his fascinating experience of dropping thirty kilograms in three months.

 

The author, who was once a victim of an overweight personality, describes his incredible quest to go from 130 kg (287 lbs) to a stronger, healthier version of himself, shedding 30 kg in just three months. He claims that if a cucumber farmer who isn't a fitness instructor can attain such positive outcomes to live a better and healthier life, then anyone can, and that the book contains inspiration and knowledge.

 

An excerpt from the book encourages anyone who wants to develop a healthy body to get a clear, doable plan, change their diet with easy guidelines (cut sugar, eat more vegetables, eat between 12 and 4 p.m.), commit to four days of exercise (such as an hour on the treadmill), and start the transformation process with a seven-day plan.

 

Packed with tried-and-true methods and the author's personal success, I will suggest this book to everyone who is struggling to lose weight. Why hold off? Get your copy of "Action Plan to Weight Loss" now to start your amazing life transformation.

 

A brief account of the author's life

 

Sena Coffi is a peasant farmer who graduated from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) with a degree in computer science. He has a strong regard for both academic knowledge and the wisdom gained from practical, everyday work, even though his career has taken him from lecture halls to other fields. One example of this is his contribution to Ghanaian politics on his television show, Melodies TV.

The host of Melodies TV and "I'm Sena, Let's Talk Politics" has a strong interest in politics, not from a place of ambition but rather a desire to comprehend and make a significant contribution to the structures that influence the lives of common people. Sena believes that discipline in the body frequently leads to discipline in other areas of life. He is also very passionate about exercise and leading a healthy lifestyle.

 

In terms of financial aspects, Sena keeps researching and studying the fields of finance and cryptocurrency, particularly as instruments that might economically empower people and communities. In addition, he cherishes his spiritual development and is deeply religious, viewing religion as a compass that guides his choices and goals.

THE WONDERS OF AVOCADO PEAR FOR THE HEALTH

Sliced Avocado pear

You’ve probably seen avocados being touted as a heart-healthy superfood in recent years. Realistically, the truth isn't too far off from the hype. The next time you're grabbing that burrito or turkey sandwich, you might want to consider adding a healthy dollop of guacamole. 

Here are four reasons that you should consider eating a little bit of avocado each day.

1. You may reduce your risk of heart disease.

Heart disease is the number 1 killer in the United States, affecting nearly 27 million adults, so it only makes sense that we would want to protect ourselves by being more health-conscious in our dietary choices. 

Avocados have been shown to positively benefit our cardiovascular system in several ways due to their low saturated fat and high unsaturated fat content (predominantly the monounsaturated fat (MUFA) variety). Consuming excess saturated fat (>10% of total calories) may raise your LDL and HDL cholesterol and triglycerides. 

On the contrary, consuming adequate unsaturated fat in your diet may help lower LDL-cholesterol (bad cholesterol), maintain HDL-cholesterol (good cholesterol), and potentially improve your insulin sensitivity.

In addition to its nutritious fat content, avocados also contain a potent mix of nutrients (e.g., potassium and lutein), including plenty of antioxidants such as carotenoids, called xanthophylls, and phenols. These compounds can help prevent inflammation and oxidative stress in the blood vessels while facilitating improved blood flow.

2. You may have an easier time maintaining your weight

Eating fat to lose fat; who would have thought? Avocados can help with weight loss and maintaining a healthy BMI by promoting a feeling of satiety. 

A recent study showed that including avocado in meals helped extend feelings of fullness and reduced the desire to overindulge. The belly-filling properties of avocados are aided by their high fiber content, about 14g per fruit on average. 

In addition, higher avocado consumption has been associated with smaller waistlines and lower BMIs in observational studies. Lastly, some research has even shown that weight-loss diets higher in MUFA, like the kind avocados are packed with, may prove healthier for your heart than low-fat weight-loss diets.

3. You might reduce your risk of cancer

Avocados provide us with numerous phytochemicals that may help prevent cancer, including the previously discussed xanthophylls and phenols. 

A protein compound called glutathione, along with the xanthophyll lutein (both found in avocados), has been associated with decreased rates of oral cancer. Preliminary data also show promising results for avocados' potential role in reducing the risk of both breast and prostate cancers. 

Additionally, preliminary studies demonstrate that a specific type of fav derived from avocados can exert anti-cancer effects on acute myeloid leukemia cells. Together, these studies show that further research needs to be conducted to draw more conclusive results.

4. You will protect your skin and eyes well into old age

As it turns out, avocado carotenoids do several things for our body. Both lutein and another compound found in avocados, called zeaxanthin, can slow age-related ocular decline and prevent vision dysfunction. 

In addition, these same two nutrients also act as buffers against oxidative UV damage, keeping our skin smooth and healthy. The bioavailability (ease of absorption by our body) of carotenoids from avocados, compared to many other fruits and vegetables, makes eating avocados every day a sensible choice.
