It Is The Cure For The Blues The Fountain Of Youth Do You Know What It Is?

January 22nd, 2010    Posted in Overweight Info
 

With all the lotions, potions and prescriptive concoctions that focus on reviving, restoring, maintaining a youthful appearance there is nothing that can compete with the youthful results of regular exercise. When it comes to washing away the blues, regular exercise slams other methods on results obtained and does not even carry the risk of a negative side effect.
While most of us would love to solve all of our problems with a quick fix solution that the drug industry loves to accommodate us all with, the truth is that getting up and moving regularly provides a better result than any lotion, potion or prescriptive concoction known to man when it comes to maintaining a youthful appearance or keeping the blues at bay. Even recreational drugs cannot compete with the feel good effects of regular exercise.
Add to those benefits the significant health effects of regular exercise including avoiding type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, asthma, arthritis, certain cancers including colon cancer and the need for regular exercise becomes a no brainer. With all of those benefits it would seem logical that everyone in our society would be moving regularly and enjoying those many very real indisputable advantages for health and well being.
Sadly, the couch potatoes are winning and consequently the health statistics on the overall population is steadily declining. Presently in the U.S. nearly 60 million Americans are considered obese. More than 108 million adults are either obese or overweight. That means roughly 3 out of 5 Americans carry an unhealthy amount of excess weight.
In the meantime, the educational system continues to eliminate time for regular physical fitness while the youth in this country, and for the first time in history, are contracting medical conditions once only afflicting older adults as a result of issues related to weight.
If you are reading this and you have not been engaging in regular physical activity ask yourself why not? You have the time, just cut out one and a half hour of the 4 hours that most people spend watching T.V. each night or get up one half hour earlier than you are used to. If you feel too tired it is because you are not getting regular exercise.
There is no excuse for allowing yourself to feel less happy, less energetic, less confident or less anxious. There is no excuse for you allowing your body to go without that essential regular activity that it DOES NEED! Just because you feel you have been getting away with it so far the facts and health statistics in the US prove that you are living under a false belief.
The negative effects of not engaging in regular physical activities are going to catch up with you in time. You really are not getting away with anything and not engaging in regular exercise is not harmless. The facts are clear that our bodies require regular exercise and when you do not give your body what it requires, just like food and water, there is a consequence and it is not a good one.
Stop living in denial and stop pretending it does not matter. You know you want the results of regular exercise and you can have those results, all of them. The best news is it will not cost you a dime because you can take care of that need just by taking a walk or doing calisthenic type exercises in your living room. If you do not know what to do just do a general search on any engine with the word CALISTHENIC and there are an abundance of sites ready to help you out.
Potions, lotions and prescriptive concoctions have their place but whatever your plan make sure you are engaging in regular exercise because you will not need many or maybe even not any, potions, lotions or prescriptive concoctions to realize the fountain of youth or cure those blues if you do.

Diets are a Pain in the Brain

December 8th, 2009    Posted in Overweight Info
 

Even though the dieting industry makes billions every year selling tons of different diet plans and remedies in the USA, the statistics represent that 75% of all Americans are now considered medically overweight and at risk.

What’s wrong with that picture? How can it be that billions are spent on diet plans and remedies each and every year, while at the same time the overweight statistics continue to climb upward reaching now an alarming statistic that supports that 75% of all people in the USA are medically overweight? Does it mean that all of those diet plans and remedies don’t or can’t work?

The truth is that most reasonable popular diet plans and remedies do work. Well, they work if you are able to stick with that diet plan for as long as it takes until your brain gives up and adjusts to the fact that you will now be living with a new lower calorie intake and weight. That can be a mighty long time and is in fact longer than most people are ever able to make it successfully through to.

Our brains are great machines that work to keep everything exactly as it is, and if you are healthy and at the right weight that is a great benefit. But if you have excess weight that needs to be lost, that same great brain machine can be your worst enemy. In fact, though your calorie intake level and weight are at levels that are not healthy for your body, your brain will still try to keep you at that unhealthy status quo even though you have decided to change it for the better. Our brains get used to a certain calorie level and weight over time and getting it to give up and give in to a lower calorie level and weight level takes not only time but it also takes the ability to win the very real brain war that goes on, time and time again, over what can amount to more than a year in length.

When dieters start reducing calories and losing weight, the brain resists the change and starts sending negative messages regularly and around the clock, trying to get the dieter to give in and give up. If you have ever dieted before you already know it’s true because you have surely experienced it time and time again and probably ultimately gave into it like most people do. The most common negative messages delivered to you by the naughty resistant brain are messages that you are still hungry even though you have eaten the right amount of calories to feed your body system, messages to eat high calorie foods even though you are trying to stay away from them, and the messages to give up and give in, always tugging at you for every day that you are on your diet. Sound familiar? That’s everyone’s difficult diet experience in fact. Worse yet, the more weight you have to lose, the longer you will have to survive that very real brain war that goes on; a process that could take more than one year.

Up to now the brain won most of the time because up to now, no one had a way to fight back against their brain every time it sent them a negative thought that threatens their diet and weight loss success. Everyone instead, left to their merciless brain, eventually give in and give up. However, if someone can make it through the long brain wars and last long enough for their brain to adjust to the new calorie intake and weight, they would not only succeed at losing all the weight they want, but also would never gain the old weight back again.

What used to be an impossible situation for most is changing to more than possible through the newest product from Habit Braker Enterprises Inc. Habit Braker Enterprises has stepped out of the box and created a way for every dieter to win the brain war and make it to their permanent weight loss goal achieving a 100% success rate.

Using 18 different short but powerful messages, created just for the dieter, that go everywhere they go and can be used anywhere they are, instantly and privately, using cell phones, iPODs, MP3 or CD players, every negative thought generated by naughty resistant brains, can be eliminated quickly before they ever have a chance to cause anyone to give up and give in again. The Habit Braker Diet System is the only system on the planet that gives dieters access to instant power to defeat their brain every single time it acts up.

The US patent pending (11770472) system is just what success requires and just what everyone needs to make sure that their brain never wins again when they are trying to do what’s best for the rest of their body by losing weight on any diet plan or program. Dieting doesn’t have to be an impossible problem for anyone anymore or ever again. Everyone needs help to fight back against their own brain. Now everyone can get the help they need to succeed every time they need it, on demand, 24 hours a day.

With our success rate continuing to stand at 100% we are working night and day to bring this powerful helpful diet system to everyone so they can finally succeed at losing their excess weight, becoming healthier and living longer.

Discover How Arthritis Statistics Affect You

November 28th, 2009    Posted in Overweight Info
 

According to the U.S. Government survey on arthritis statistics, one out of every four adults in America will have arthritis by 2030. Right now there are 46 million people that suffer from the disease and because our population is constantly aging, this is why there will be 67 million affected twenty one years from now.

These are quite shocking statistics but it goes further…

According to the Arthritis Foundation in 2007:

2/3rd of people who have been diagnosed with the disease are under 65.As long ago as 2003 9,500 Americans DIED because of arthritis.People with rheumatoid arthritis (also referred to as rheumatism) die up to 10 years earlier than those who do not have the disease.Almost 19 million Americans have to stop working within 10 years of being diagnosed.A shocking 294,000 children have been diagnosed with juvenile arthritis.The cost of all this is $128 billion per year.

So what can we do if we are diagnosed with arthritis?

I think first of all, don’t panic. Although arthritis cannot be cured at this time, there are many, many ways to alleviate pain and muscle swelling. You doctor can advise you which medication is best for you.  Unfortunately almost all drugs have side effect, especially if they are used consistently over a long period of time. In fact, many doctors then prescribe another drug to help with the side effects of the arthritis drugs. Non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, known as NSAIDs are most commonly prescribed.

However, there are also many natural remedies that can help and in fact many people turn to these. Glucosamine and MSN supplements are readily available and help to rebuild the worn-down cartilage. Remedies like honey and apple cider vinegar help with pain relief. A visit to your local health food store can be quite an eye opener as to what products there are for this condition.

Diet is also a consideration as many foods tend to trigger arthritis pain, such as tomatoes. Acid forming drinks like coffee and sodas should be avoided. You can find out more by doing research online.

If you are overweight, this can cause extra complications as the extra weight can negatively affect your joints and bodily movement in general. If you lose pounds, you help alleviate arthritis pain as well as the condition generally. This is even more important as exercise can be daunting when you have arthritis because it’s hard to do as your joints are compromised. Therefore walking, climbing stairs, stooping or bending are often difficult.

In fact, arthritis is the number one cause of disability, so it’s important to do what you can to help move those joints in a gentle way.

Although these arthritis statistics are horrifying, the truth is that much can be done to help people who have been diagnosed with the disease.
