Working out is no longer just about working out your physical frame and building muscle. Many recent studies are now focused on how exercise boosts brain function regardless of age or level of fitness.
Studies prove that making time for exercise (treating it as a priority) provides some serious mental benefit’s such as an increase and boost in mood and lowered rates of depression. [Read more…]
It’s no secret that sagging, flabby, weak muscles are the result of not doing proper muscle building and maintenance. They add years to the way you look and feel.
When we think about exercising, we think toned muscles, firm thighs and weight loss. Those are all very valid reasons to exercise but most of us are unaware of the health benefits that proper strength training offers our largest organ…our skin. [Read more…]
Building a balanced meal is ultimately important to your success. The first principle you must adopt is to not get caught up in counting calories. You need to focus on portions.
A portion is one serving and is about the same size as the palm of your hand. Honestly we’ve gotten so used to eating much larger portions than we actually need because of the “all-you-can-eat” buffets and super-sized menus offered…we need to get “real” again.
Next, you need to focus on selecting a quality source of lean protein and balance it with equal quantity of complex carbohydrates. Add to this one or more main course vegetable portions along with a healthy leafy, green such as a fresh salad. Your goal should always be to have meals that include at least 50 percent vegetables…whether raw or cooked. [Read more…]
Without a doubt, consistent challenging exercise is the number one anti-aging strategy. However, without the support of a healthy “clean diet” no amount of exercise can make you look and feel young.
A healthy diet is your ticket to feeling better…that’s no big secret, but combine challenging exercise with a healthy clean diet and you also have your best ticket for slowing the aging process.
So, while proper consistent exercise is number one in the anti-aging war, a clean healthy diet ranks number two and is just as important. [Read more…]
Strong healthy muscles are vital ingredients in the anti-aging war. Although you can’t stop chronological aging (it begins the day you are born), there is recent biological aging and growing evidence that indicates that this kind of aging can be slowed and even reversed…particularly in the muscle tissue because muscle aging isn’t necessarily chronological.
Truth is, muscle aging can start at a very young age and many young adults unknowingly suffer from symptoms of muscle aging due to physical inactivity, poor diet, stress, and substance abuse.
When muscles age, they lose their aerobic capacity and strength and also their size…but it is possible to stop this process of “muscle downgrade.” [Read more…]
If you consistently carry excess weight…especially around the mid-section, feeling tired all the time or have become a slave to your food cravings and riding the hunger roller coaster each day, you may be suffering from unhealthy, unstable blood glucose levels.
Unfortunately, this creeping blood sugar intolerance often displays no visible symptoms which make it one of the most destructive changes to your body associated with accelerated aging and the increased risk of disease. [Read more…]
Thanks to science, we now know the key to a younger body is to protect your cell’s DNA specifically the telomeres. However, it’s not just about long living cells…it’s about producing abundantly healthy, long living cells.
Most people are aware that someone who is strong and fit often looks much younger than someone who has let go. There’s a reason for that. [Read more…]
Looking good and feeling better should be as simple as eating better and not about eating less.
We need to eliminate the known culprits in our food that have been linked to skyrocketing levels of degenerative disease and weight gain that is plaguing our modern world.
Foods such as bad carbs…white flour, white sugar and bad fats (such as saturated and trans fats) along with a raft of unhealthy chemicals and preservatives in our diets that continue to makes us the unhealthiest we have ever been.
Eating healthy, raw, whole, clean foods help your body to feel lighter, more energized and all around more healthy. It works to rebuild healthy digestion, energy production, metabolism and weight management. [Read more…]
Enjoying dessert is one of man’s pleasures. It’s just a shame that most of us feel some sort of accompanying “guilt” when trying to enjoy these sweet treats. Plain and simple it should be a pleasure but not a guilty pleasure.
It doesn’t have to be that way. Yes, things will have to change if you want to “enjoy your cake and eat it too”…but you’ll be rewarded with guilt free desserts that not only taste yummy and look delicious but taste even better than the ones you’ve been eating that offer little if any nutrition but are heavy on the calories.
What are these mystery desserts that allow you to enjoy them without the guilt monster killing the moment?
Raw desserts. That’s right. Making and enjoying raw desserts kills the guilt monster and allows you to enjoy some of your favorite desserts made with all natural ingredients. [Read more…]
