    Weight Really Matters

    A healthy weight can help you avoid heart problems, diabetes, arthritis, sleep apnea, and even some cancers.
    You'll also need to take into account other things such as body fat and your family's health history. Keeping track of your weight and BMI will help keep you on track to a healthy life. Get yearly physicals and follow your doctors suggestions on how to stay healthy.

    Is Toxicity Making You FAT?

    One of the ways the liver handles toxicities in your body is to increase body fat, in order to encase these impurities and to protect your body from their ravaging damage.  Toxicity is perhaps the greatest  problem in the fight to lose weight.

    Good Morning Everyone it is a great day the sun is shining and flowers are blooming. Sure signs that Spring is almost here. Joggers are out jogging, neighbors are cleaning their yards and walking their dogs. Yes! Wonderful spring is coming and the air is fresh. People are also doing spring cleaning and rushing to get in shape for beach season that will be here before we know it. Its time to spring clean our bodies from all the toxic food and sugar we have consumed over the winter months. The easiest way to do this is pick a plan that is realistic and one that you can stick to long term. Remember for long success, you must change your life style and mind set as well. Don't kid yourself by doing well during the week and then waste it by eating whatever you want on the weekend. You must stick strictly to your plan, make no excuses for not doing so. If you can not be honest with yourself and own your mistakes, then you have learned nothing. The chances are you will fail.

    Are there psychological benefits of physical activity?

    A recent study suggests that simple activities, such standing and walking, can boost your mood. So what are you waiting for? Get up and get happy.

    Exercise Doesn't Have to Take a Long Time

    Simple method of walking that can help strengthen your heart — and it doesn’t require a lot of your time.
    This method is based on a powerful exercise principle known as HIIT, which stands for High Intensity Interval Training.

    Here’s what you do:

    Pick three times a week, and go for a 20-minute walk — or if it’s easier, use a treadmill.
    Then, simply walk at your regular pace for three minutes…

    But here’s the trick: after those three minutes are up, you burst into a speed walk for 30 seconds, then back to a regular pace, and repeat until you’ve reached 20 minutes.

    You see, HIIT provides a number of important benefits over your more traditional cardiovascular exercises.
    It strengthens your heart by improving the elasticity of your blood vessels and increasing your body’s capacity to use more oxygen and insulin.1

    Best of all, you’re essentially getting better results in less time…

    SLEEP?

    (One in three Americans fail to get enough sleep. The consequences are dire. Let’s start with death. Routinely sleeping less than 7 hours or more than 9 hours a night increases mortality rates. That’s because sleep disturbance has widespread effects on the body.
    Chronic sleep deprivation impairs immune function, raises susceptibility to infection, stirs up inflammation, and aggravates inflammatory conditions such as asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease. It contributes to top causes of death, namely cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Night-shift workers may be at elevated risk for some cancers, notably breast cancer.
    Oh, did I mention that short and long sleepers tend to gain weight? Being overweight and obese fuels chronic, life-robbing illnesses.
    The sleepless also cause accidents, which lead to injuries and deaths. In one survey, almost 5 percent of Americans admitted to falling asleep at the wheel. Sleep loss can impair driving on par with alcoholic intoxication.
    Poor sleep erodes mental and physical performance. Work productivity tanks; absenteeism goes up. Mood sours. Minor hassles become intolerable. Mental health challenges such as anxiety and depression may surface.  Sleep disturbance is also a sign of anxiety and depression.
    Take-home message: Take sleep seriously. What better time to start than National Sleep Awareness Week?)

    Lol...this comment threw me off because my name is Cindy too. I was like...why would you want to gain a bunch of weight.
    Then I was like, "Oh, I'm notquitting, not Cindy in this instance". Lol :D
