Perhaps the most often made resolutions for the New Year are
getting into better shape by joining a gym, starting a fitness program, eating
right and losing weight. These are all noble goals to improve your health,
boost energy and give a better outlook on life. Yet, the most important factor
to remember in setting these goals is to set them realistically so that the
resolutions made will not be broken.
Let's be honest, starting a new exercise routine generally
comes with a trade-off of pain prior to the benefits of living a healthier
lifestyle. The pain that's part of any novice exercise routine can easily lead
a person astray and give way to an air of discouragement, which in turn can bring
an end to the resolution. However, an excellent, healthful resolution and
natural way in which to help with workouts,
boost recovery time and promote an all around healthier lifestyle is to add a
chokeberry regimen to your daily diet.
In a number of studies, the aronia berry has been proven to
support joint health. This may help with the sore joints and muscles generally associated
with working out. It's a simple, natural and healthy way to reduce the sore
muscles and pain that might overcome the best and most ardent intentions of a
New Year's resolution.
The choke berry may also aid in promoting weight loss. How's
this possible? A single 100 gram serving of aronia berries contains nearly 17
grams of insoluble fiber. The insoluble fiber from the chokeberry helps to promote
weight loss by assisting in improving the overall digestive process. In other
words, because the fiber takes longer to process in your digestive system, you
feel full longer and are therefore less likely to snack or crave additional
food between meals, thereby reducing your caloric intake.
The aronia berry is a perfect addition to a healthy diet as
they're low in sugars and carbs and high in antioxidants. The chokeberry fits
well with a number of various diets including the Paleo diet and it assists in
cleansing the body of harmful free radicals promoting a sense of health and
vitality.
As you can see, any serious New Year's resolution for health
and vitality should also include the resolution of adding a regimen of the
aronia berries given their multi-purpose uses in diet, exercise and weight
loss. Their proven properties and their overall health benefits can assist, in
conjunction with a proper diet and exercise, in leading you into a healthful,
prosperous and productive New Year.
