Diversity is Bliss

Can you over-diet? We have all seen overly thin, cadaverous dieters with sunken cheeks and loose skin. That can be avoided by making your selected diets very diverse so you are never without needed nutrients for very long. For example, many retirement homes and assisted living co-ops produce thin seniors with pallid skin and protruding abdomens. Replace their mushy, high starch meals with any of the myriad high protein and vegetable- fruit diets and their color will improve, their energy increase, and their tummies fade. 

Professional Help

Can you ever be too thin? Visit an eating disorder facility and you will see the results of anorexia nervosa, not a pretty sight and highly dangerous from a medical standpoint. If you have a history of overweight, you may tell yourself that being too thin will never be in the cards for you. However, there are not infrequent cases of the perennial heavy who becomes anorexic through dieting too much with resulting anxiety about gaining back even an ounce of the flesh so painfully discarded. If you have a distorted body image, and reliable friends are concerned about your being too thin, get professional help. 

Increase Fitness

It all comes down to using your brain intelligently. When you are at your heaviest, with the most to lose the logical choice is a rather spartan program that will get the fat moving quickly. As you lose, more moderate programs can be interspersed so that your skin and cheeks have a chance to adjust and fill in as your weight stores become redistributed. If a particular part of your body is resistant to reduction, exercise may become a more important part of your plan than simply a dietary approach. Once you are hovering at your ideal weight, simple calorie counting or support group involvement may be all you need.

The secret is to be rational about it all and use that wonderful mind of yours to set the program for your not-so-intelligent body with its insatiable appetite and poundage conservation cravings. Don’t try to cheat unless you want to cheat yourself and then be honest and admit that, for whatever reason there is, you want to avoid further weight loss. When you want and need to lose fifty pounds, an ice cream and chocolate diet is not rational. When you are at ideal weight or below, a stringent fad diet makes no sense. 

Realistic Results

Will all this mixing of diets result in consistent weight loss? There is never consistency in weight loss because there are just too many factors involved: water retention, digestive inefficiencies, the amount of energy expended, and individual body quirks. Over time, you will lose steadily but there will always be some ups and downs along the way.

There are other things you also need to be aware of. White rice is treated with bleach. It starts out brown and is bleached to become white. What about white flour? It’s also bleached. What about sugar or pasta? They too have been bleached to give a false sense of purity. Would you go to your laundry cupboard and drink bleach? That’s preposterous, yet most of us eat food treated with bleach. Bleach has the effect of ripping the stomach lining - an effect that is similar to the drug ecstasy. A report out of Germany states “they’re putting fine pieces of cracked glass now in ecstasy, those pieces have the effect of putting finite tears in the stomach lining enabling the substance to enter the bloodstream more quickly.”

While it tastes good and feels good, physiologically eating is the building block of the body. Skin,eyes, internal organs, joints, white and red blood cells, they are all built out of the food and liquid that goes into our body. So logically, what’s one of the most powerful ways to change the appearance of your eyes, skin and strength of the organs? 

Simply change the building blocks that you choose to take into your body and up your Fitness levels. Literally improve the food you eat. 

Due to the common diet, most people’s bodies are full of bacteria; these bacteria are what are responsible for cravings for terrible food. It’s not the built in mechanism of the body to crave these substances, it’s the bacteria! No one smokes a cigarette for the first time and says “Oh boy, this tastes great!” Over time, the body learns to adapt to the poisons put in.As you give your body more and more wholesome food and treat yourself with respect, you will naturally crave better and better food. There are plenty of delicious recipes around, recipes that will leave you with energy for hours rather than tired and bloated. It’s just that very few people know about them. 

Eating natural food will also return your body to a more wholesome weight. It is bodybuilding from the inside, out.Have you ever had the case of eating a big meal and immediately afterwards having to go and raid the cupboard? Why is that? The brain has a built in survival mechanism that when it senses the body is lacking nutrients, it tells us to get hungry. That is the sense of hunger is the body telling us it needs nutrients. If you suffer from the problem of being frequently hungry, it’s because the hunger mechanism is literally turned on all the time, the body is in a constant state of asking for nutrients. Due to our poor diets and low nutrients in most of our foods now, many people find themselves living in a case of constant hunger.

Being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia can come as a shock for someone who exercises often and eats a well balanced and healthy diet.  The medical field is not clear on what causes it, however they do know that it affects the muscles, soft tissue and creates symptoms such as pain, fatigue, restless sleep and sensitive joints. 

Anyone who suffers from this ailment knows firsthand how painful it can be. Getting a full body massage or overexerting physical activity can leave one feeling sore for months.However, it is recommended and suggested that extremely light exercise continue to be performed at a minimum of three days per week. Everyone's fitness level is different and one must experiment to find what works best for them. 

The Top Three  

1. Yoga

2. Water Aerobics

3. Bodybuilding

Yoga offers slow body movement and gentle stretching and the positions can be modified and adjusted to individual fitness levels. Starting with just 15 minutes a day, or every other day, depending on how sore the muscles are afterwards is a good way to begin.

Water Aerobics allows the body to move slowly under water and build muscle from the resistance. The exercises are effective and gentle on sensitive joints. However, one with Fibromyalgia needs to take it easy when beginning this exercise routine and make sure that they do not overexert the body movements since most of these classes last around 30- 45 minutes. 

Bodybuilding may seem as a no, no for those who suffer from chronic muscle pain, however the truth is that the benefits of weight lifting are enormous. When engaging in this form of exercise, start with 1lb weights and only work out for about 10-15 minutes two to three times per week. Depending on one's fitness level, work up to 15 minutes using 5lb weights and slowly increase each week.With Fibromyalgia it is important to increase protein intake to help build up the muscle being torn down. Make sure you wear comfortable workout clothing and are fully hydrated. Also, do not push yourself. Listen to your body before you listen to anyone else, or you could worsen your symptoms. 

As with any exercise routine, consult your doctor before you begin.

Tired? Lazy? Just don't feel like it?

Many people have the intellectual desire to go to the gym, go for a walk around the neighborhood or bike ride on a peaceful trail. However, when the time arrives for one to take the needed physical "action" to get out of the "comfy house" or leave the "nurturing cave" one's mental desires of fitness are left unmet and exercise takes the back burner.

Motivation:


The question that needs to asked is "What do we personally need, to motivate us to get out there and move our bodies?" Is it dancing? Swimming? Bowling? Golf? Or could it be the more intense sports such as Soccer, Football, Running or going to the golds gym?

What do we personally need in our lives to inspire us to get our body moving?Do we need awesome gym wear to feel secure? Do we need a personal trainer? Do we need to read more books to quench our own lack of knowledge?

More Questions to Ask:

• What makes me feel happy?

• Would I rather be alone or with an exercise buddy?

• How many days per week do I realistically see myself exercising?

• What do I need right now to make me feel excited about getting out there and moving my body?

Rules:

The rules are that there are no rules until you, yourself create them for YOU. There is no need to follow a book, some T.V. personality's advice or engage in the latest trendy diet.Once an individual decides to "listen" to their own body and acknowledge their own needs, then all of the outer stuff will fall into place naturally. It all begins with "perspective" and individual thought.

Logistics Require More Questions:

Workout clothing is important. What type of exercise will one be engaging in? Does one need a sturdy gym bag? What kind of gym does one need? A social one or a facility that provides privacy?In the End it is about Perspective: Lack of motivation usually translates as "my needs are not being met." Ask the needed questions through self inquiry and find out what is truly needed in order to get out there and stay healthy.

There is something really unique and sexy about a man wearing baggy workout pants. The way they fit snug around the waist and then taper down the leg to a finite point at the ankle.

I remember the first time I met my boyfriend. I had just finished up a run on the treadmill and was feeling a bit dizzy and stumbled a little bit when I got off dropping my water bottle onto the floor. I leaned over to pick it up and when I began to walk towards the free weights there he was looking at me with concern. “You all right?” He kindly asked as my eyes focused on the gorilla icon on his World Gym bodybuilding shirt staring straight at me.

“Yes, thank you.” I responded as I noticed his awesome pants. I could not help but ask him where he got them. They were definitely an eye catcher!

He explained that they were called American Flag Pants and our conversation naturally continued to other topics after that. However, I realize that the sentimental part of me will always hold a soft spot for men’s workout clothing simply because this is the way I found my love.

There is a gold gym a few blocks from my house. One of my very good friends miraculously has the motivation and the energy to ride his bike there every single morning. He pulls on his y-string tank top, grabs a protein bar and heads right out the front door.

Naturally, I end up feeling guilty and my innate competitive streak kicks in. His dedication to bodybuilding inspires me to get out there and join him, despite the fact that I am not a happy morning person.

In my grandiose grogginess, I somehow remove myself from my warm and cozy bed and automatically engage in all of the necessary morning business without much memory of doing it.



After getting dressed and pulling my matted hair back into a ponytail, I grab my workout bag and water bottle. This is when I usually realize that I am not sure where my car keys are. As I look for them I am tempted to just sit down at my kitchen table and have a hot cup of coffee. My thoughts whisper, “You can just go tomorrow… one day will not hurt… just go back to bed and crawl under those lovely and soft blankets…”

I sigh dramatically and loudly in an attempt to push those thoughts out of my own head. I finally find my keys and listen to the squeaks from my sneakers against the hardwood floors, as I drag my feet back towards the front door, locking it behind me.

Walking down the block I see my good friend riding his bike towards me wearing his sexy California Crazy Wear Workout Pants trousers. As he approaches he says, ” Good morning beautiful! Good to see you. Ready for a fabulous workout?”

“Yes, ” I answer and am filled with gratitude for his presence.

It's possible to learn HOW to better your health in only 4 steps and this article will show you how. Each step is a bite-sized nugget of healthy living information you can actually use. Let's get started...

Step 1: Nutritional Supplements

In my opinion, they are very necessary and very beneficial- especially when combined with healthy eating habits. It's very difficult to get all the nutrients your body needs through food alone, but combining proper nutrition with nutritional supplements is very powerful. That being said, the one supplement everyone should be taking is a good multi vitamin/mineral. Look at it as added insurance- eating well is crucial, but now that you're also taking a multi, you can rest assured you're getting the nutrients your body needs.

Step 2: Nutrition

Good nutrition is SO important. You are what you eat...remember that. Make a conscious effort to gradually improve your eating habits, eating more of the good foods (nuts, berries, peanut butter, olive oil, greens, chicken, whole grains, etc.) and less of the bad foods (fried food, saturated fat, fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, etc.). Reading the label of what you're eating will tell you a lot. You may think you lack the needed will power, but you'll be amazed at what happens when you start to gradually improve your eating habits.


 

Step 3: Exercise

Exercise is the missing piece of the puzzle when it comes to better health. Whether you choose to join a gold gym or go for a walk outside on a neighborhood trail, there are so many benefits of exercising. This includes building stronger bones and improved libido- it's a no brainer to start doing it. Your goal should be to exercise 3-5 times a week with a combination of cardio exercises and strength training (but no more than 1 hour per workout session). It's been measured that if you add 3 pounds of muscle to your body, this added muscle will burn as many calories as if you ran 1 mile. Muscle burns calories! An excellent reason to pull on your workout clothes and move your body.

Step 4: Stress Management and Sleep

Stress management and getting good sleep each night round out your path to better health. Until you find a way to manage your stress, it will continue to do damage to your body. Two tips you might want to implement include prioritizing your day each morning and practicing deep breathing exercises (yes, you probably already knew this, but have you tried it?).

Getting enough sleep each night is equally important when you consider your body uses this time to repair itself. You should aim for 7-9 hours each night. Two tips you might want to implement include exercising and avoiding late night eating.

Now that you have the basics, expand on this information.

Step 1: research more about Nutritional Supplements

Step 2: study more about Nutrition

Step 3: purchase quality gym clothes and begin an exercise regimen

Step 4: practice meditation techniques and get more sleep

I guarantee after the 4 steps you'll feel more confident about reaching your health & fitness goals.

Do you want to know how to feel healthy? Do you want to live a vibrant and long life? Would you like to wake up in the morning, throw own your workout clothes and have the energy to exercise as a daily part of life? The solution is simple: Take care of your body and it will take care of you.

Digestion takes probably more energy than anything else. The average meal takes 3 hours and 30 minutes to digest if combined properly. Incorrectly combined food can sometimes take up to 14 hours to digest. This is a very powerful way to conserve energy.

How would you like to learn something interesting? Starches and proteins require different mediums to digest in the stomach. One requires acid in the stomach to digest and the other alkaline. Now anyone with even a basic knowledge of chemistry knows that acids and alkalines cancel each other out. If you want to have more energy you need to learn to properly combine your foods.

You’ve probably heard people say you need to eat more vegetables. I heard that too for a long time. It didn’t motivate me to go out and eat it. It wasn’t until I understood that food is literally the building block of all the substances in your body, that I understood the importance of it. What you eat literally becomes your brain, your liver, your kidneys, your skin and your eyes. This is very powerful information. What you put in to yourself becomes part of your body and affects your health and Fitness levels.

Vegetables are the most important food you will feed yourself in your lifetime. Vegetables will cause your energy to increase, your skin to look brighter, your eyes to sparkle, your energy to rise and your libido to increase. Vegetables are high in almost every substance known to be essential to the building of the body and life.

Organic food contains up to 3 times the amount of nutrients of conventional fruit and vegetables. How would you like to eat spinach and have the nutrients of 3 times the amount? I certainly would. As food grows, it’s draws nutrients from the ground. The better the quality of soil, the more nutrients can be drawn into the food. Research reports many of our foods are missing vitamins, minerals, enzymes, etc, because of depleted soils. Buy organic food wherever possible.

A common expression each and every one of us has said at one point or another in our lives is that we’re “going on a diet.” The phrase suggests that we will be "doing something different,"  like embarking on a short term vacation trip where there is a beginning and an end. We dream of the day we will reach our weight goal and how wonderful it will be when we don’t have to lead a life of painful deprivation.

In the back of our minds, there is a comforting little tape playing, promising us that when our weight loss campaign is over, we’ll be able to stop counting calories, carbohydrates, or fats. We long for the day when we no longer have to clench our teeth as we refuse a favorite dish that always causes us to salivate in our sleep. We reach for the carrot and celery sticks without anticipation or enthusiasm while torturing ourselves with visions of the special treats we’ll enjoy when the diet is over.

Allowing ourselves to think of a diet as a delineated, restricted period within our total life span is a sure avenue back to an unhealthy lifestyle. To have any hope of attaining permanent weight control, we must approach it as a lifelong effort,expanding our fitness levels and watching our calorie intake day after day, week after week, year after year.

You feel your heart sinking in your chest. You think “If I have to live like this all the time, it’s just not worth it!” That little voice promises you that you are different. You can relax because now you know how to lose weight, you can do it anytime you want. Gain five pounds and you’ll go back on your diet and be back to goal in no time at all. But you won’t! You will go as far as putting on your golds gym tank top or cute yoga pants and somehow never make it to the gym. You will fall back into old snacking pattern while reassuring yourself that you will get back on your diet on Monday... no Tuesday... perhaps next week.

Think back over your chequered weight history. We all believe that once our weight is down, it will be so easy to go on a short diet if we gain back a few pounds. It doesn’t work that way, though, does it? We start gaining a pound here and a pound there, but then there are some special events coming up and a diet would be so inconvenient. We don’t go back “on” our diet until we’ve gained enough weight to develop the self-disgust that warrants a new period of serious deprivation.

We have become a full-fledged member of the yo-yo club, that vast majority of dieters who cannot keep the weight off for more than a few weeks.

The reasons we go “on” and “off” diets are numerous: they are boring, depressing, and very uncomfortable. They set us apart from friends, family, and coworkers who continue to snack, to feast, and to celebrate. We resent how diets make us feel and how they impact our daily lives.

If you want to increase muscle mass and gain weight, remember that in order to effectively bulk up, you will need to be persistent in your Fitness efforts. Increasing your caloric intake is an important part of gaining weight and building new muscle tissue. When you feed your body more food than it can burn, you gain weight. Strength training is also an important part of gaining weight and increasing your muscle mass. Weight lifting stimulates the muscles and promotes growth.

The combination of weight training and proper diet is the best, most effective way to gain weight and increase muscle mass. Failure to eat properly while weight training could result in loss of muscle tissue. Make certain you get plenty of protein, fats, and carbs and in large enough quantities to allow your body to gain weight while bodybuilding.

Supplements can play a role in building body mass if taken while adjusting your diet and training with weights. Meal replacement bars, powders, and protein drinks can be an excellent way to increase your daily caloric intake. In order to increase muscle mass, you must give your body approximately 500 more calories per day than the number of calories your body uses.

Exercise and diet are the most important things to consider when attempting to gain weight and increase muscle mass. Weight training and the adequate food intake will leave your body with no choice but to gain weight and add mass. Make sure to get enough rest between workouts to give your body time to recuperate and build new muscle tissue.

If you want to get the maximum benefit from your mass building routine, you must avoid the most common reasons that cause people to fail at bodybuilding and gaining weight. A quality mass building routine combined with proper nutrition and plenty of rest can produce results that you never dreamed possible. Consistency, smart eating habits, the proper weight lifting techniques, and lots of rest are the common elements shared by every successful body builder.

Building muscle is a slow process and it could possibly take several months before you see noticeable results. If you are determined and consistent in your muscle mass building routine and your eating habits, you efforts will pay off in time.

Nutrition is also crucial in building muscle mass. The right amounts of protein, carbohydrates, and fats must be included in your diet in order to give your body the fuel it needs to add muscle tissue. The trick to building muscle is to find the combination of foods that allow you to add new muscle mass. Trial and error combined with sound dietary guidelines will allow you to find just the right fitness routine and nutritional plan for you.

The proper weight lifting techniques are a very important part of a muscle mass building routine. If you don't work your muscles, they won't grow. You will need to find the right amount of weight and the right weight lifting exercises for your body. Determination, trial and error, and a consistent effort will eventually give you the results you want. The most important thing is to stay focused and realize your reward is waiting for you down the line.
