Health and Fitness



Some individuals, in their zeal to eliminate all fat from their diet, actually induce their body to enter an ""emergency" mode in which it begins to store fat even more efficiently. They compound the mistake by starving themselves, and when they inevitably return to old eating patterns, even more fat is stored from the same amount of food they had been eating before the diet -and they gain back more weight than they lost! This is why our culture is so obsessed with losing "those last ten pounds".

 When people tell me they want to lose ten pounds, I ask them, "Ten pounds of what? Most often they're exercising in a way that causes them to lose water or muscle, not fat. 

 You can weigh the same amount today as you weighed ten years ago but be much less healthy because your muscle has been replaced with fat.  Muscle weighs more than fat, so if you weigh the same as you did ten years ago and your body is made up of even more fat, you're in deep trouble!

While it's true we want to limit our fat intake so it's not excessive (20 percent to 30 percent of your calorie intake), nothing can compare with aerobic exercise for training your metabolism to burn fat. There is no one right percentage of fat intake for all individuals, it depends on how you metabolize the fat you do ingest. 

 Wouldn't you love to have the same capacity that you envy in others who seem to be blessed with metabolisms that burn fat? You can! It's all a matter of conditioning.

Maddy White & Blue Sport & Running Shoes For Men In Various Sizes So how do you train your metabolism to burn fat so that you have the energy, endurance, and vitality to put into practice everything you've learned in these articles and live life to the fullest?

 I have some good news and some bad news. First the good news: you can accomplish this through some simple steps each day. Now the bad news: you won't be able to use the traditional American method of filling the bathtub, pulling the plug, and fighting the current! Neither will driving a golf cart from hole to hole  do the trick. These are not forms of aerobic exercise. Throwing your pendulum to the other extreme won't work, either. Wind sprints are an anaerobic exercise. They create an immediate oxygen deficit in the cells and begin to cause you to train your metabolism to burn glycogen and/or blood sugar, thus, the fat continues to be stored.

Increase your wealth

The most important thing you'll ever do in your financial life is to decide to truly understand  the various types of investments  and what their potential risks and returns are.  Responsible advisors will make certain that all of their clients thoroughly understand the kinds of investments that are available and that they take part in the development of their own financial plans.  Without a clear-cut investment plan, you will eventually fail financially. According to financial newsletter editor Dick Fabian, "Evidence shows that investors- investors in anything make no money over a ten-year period.   There are several reasons for this tragic statistic, including: 1) Not setting a goal, 2) Chasing after trendy investments; 3) Relying on reports from the financial press; 4) Blindly taking advice from brokers or financial planners; 5) Making emotional mistakes, and so on....

Take control of your financial l future...

Today we will learn about Finance  and the keys to building lasting wealth.  Wealth  today, has become a very critical aspect of our lives.Most of the tensions in life, relationship problems and self-esteem problems is because of  lack of wealth.  People don't see  who or what you are, they see  WHAT YOU HAVE.  We are often judged by our economic status.    We fail to remember that  "Money was made for Man, and not Man for Money".   True, wealth is important, but so also are human values. You may have all the wealth in the world but you may be too old to enjoy it, or you may have a  major illness which does not allow you to enjoy your wealth.
