Fitness and Mental Health

Hello everyone! I work in the medical device and fitness industry, and I am very happy to join the vibrant community of myfitnesspal. I have been paying attention to the latest developments in the fitness and health management industry, especially how to help people improve their physical fitness, prevent diseases and stay healthy through technology and innovative products. I hope to communicate with you here to discuss how to help more people achieve their health goals through scientific fitness methods, reasonable diet planning, and how to promote the development of fitness and health management organizations. At the same time, I am also looking forward to learning about everyone's experiences and insights, making progress together, and moving towards a healthier future together!

    Lifting weights sure helps my mental health, and unlike tossing around the jerk who annoys me, I can toss around weights LEGALLY! lol

    Sounds like you're doing a great job of exercising and regulating your mood at the same time, it's a great way to kill two birds with one stone!

    Welcome! With your experience and interests, I'm sure you can be a good contributor here.

    You'd written that you wanted to "discuss how to help more people achieve their health goals through scientific fitness methods, reasonable diet planning, and how to promote the development of fitness and health management organizations.' MaggieGirl135 asked if you could share some ideas, and you replied:

    That's pretty general; I would hope most of us would already be in tune with that direction, but maybe a little more fuzzy on how to get there. Could you possibly share some more specific useful insights or fun facts about scientific fitness methods, reasonable diet planning, etc.? That would help us get to know you and your interests. :flowerforyou:

    If you'd like to hear about our experiences and insights, as you mention, are there any specific questions or ideas you'd like us to respond to?

    Looking forward to your contributions: Best wishes!

    I think this is easier said than done for a lot of people. The main thing is to stick to it, the easiest way to get fit and exercise yourself (running 🤷‍♀️), but many people can't stick to it. As long as I can stick to it, I have to maintain my diet properly: eat well in the morning, eat enough at lunchtime, eat less at night, and naturally I will have a good body (never eat high calorie foods 🤣)

    I own a couple of Gym's myself, and I have a couple of nutritionists and trainers under me who specialize in having a full license and who will show me how to put together a sensible plan.

    Running is a great cardiovascular exercise. Personally, I can't run (or at least I can't while pursuing my current goal of deferring knee surgery for as long as possible). I'm also a huge believer in finding - if at all possible - ways to be active that are ideally fun, but at least tolerable and practical. What that is will differ from one person to the next. (On the cardiovascular exercise front, I row and cycle: Boats and bikes when I can, machines when I must - since I live in a place with real Winter.)

    Based on reading many posts here over some years, I feel like timing and relative size of meals are flexible individual choices. For example, some people report not sleeping well on an empty stomach, while others struggle with reflux or other sleep-disrupting issues when they eat closer to bedtime. Personally, I also do eat high calorie foods . . . in moderation, at a sensible frequency. I'd have a harder time staying at a healthy weight if I didn't ever eat certain of those foods. Pleasure, within sensible bounds, is part of good life balance IMO. I'm not criticizing your personal choices, simply saying that I have doubts that they're universally necessary or even universally helpful.

    It's wonderful to have access to credentialed, licensed professionals: I can see how being a gym owner could facilitate that. I've been lucky to be able to afford some of those things on my own nickel, or to have access through other mechanisms.
