Don’t sit there?

We have all been there, sitting around watching TV or eating junk food sitting around wasting time. Did you get your steps in today, your workout or run, maybe you did or maybe you didn’t I’ll do it tomorrow. Are you to busy for yourself, yourself is more then your hair, makeup or deodorant your body and mind are you. Some of us have a spouse and family and maybe you focus more of your time on them which is great. But you are the only one that can take care of your health and you have that power. If you start eating healthy and exercise it might inspire your family to do so too. Most of us have chores and tasks we do during the day, sitting at a computer all day is mentally exhausting. Exercise will increase Endorphins and oxygen to your brain which will help wake you up and get moving. If you live in and apartment building take the stairs as much as you can instead of the elevator. If you have a park or parking lot start out walking go a little faster after some time maybe even start jogging a little bit. I can’t say that enough exercise and diet can make you a healthy and happy life.
You don’t have to change overnight just some overtime walk a little more eat more fruits and vegetables over meat. I understand when we get off work exercise is not on a top priority especially if you have to take care of your family or your a care taker of someone. So how do I get exercise during the day, I do it before work, walking only helps your legs and may get your heartbeat up some 80 to 150 beats per minute. So weight training with walking is a better workout. I may have not answered the question but I try to give so ideas. You can do low key exercise while watching TV but remember the smaller the steps the longer it takes to get there and there is a bigger chance to take another path and not get there. Routine, moderation and consistency are the most important part for weight loss and health.

( consult your doctor before exercise if you’re under their care)

Why diets don’t always work

One question about weight loss is this, if you’re overweight compared to a skinny person, does that mean the skinny person is healthier than the overweight person no it doesn’t diet, what you eat, how much you eat and consistency are some of the factors. I don’t believe the old balanced diet is correct anymore fats, carbs and grains are not right plus it doesn’t give proportion amounts or calories. Larger amounts of green vegetables and smaller or no meat and watch how much grain you eat is a good diet. Most of your fat should come from vegetables like avocado and coconut to name a few, fruits need to be limited because of the sugar.
Now to tackle the question about some diets and why they fail. All of the fad diets restrict some food and increase other food which is not healthy and your body is going to fight back. You may lose a few lbs but will gain it back quicker then you lost it. I’m vegan I have seen that called a fad diet, with me it’s a lifestyle not a diet. Healthy eating for life is the best way to lose weight and keep it off. Being vegan which I don’t eat any animal products mostly beans,greens and fruit well is it healthy in my opinion yes, I have gotten rid of all the sickness I had lost weight and feel great with no pain and I am 54 years old. Then there are a lot of drugs promising that you will loss weight most don’t work and the ones that might work what are the side effects of the drug is it worth it to lose a few lbs. I have met some people who never cared about being healthy until they started having medical problems. These people rely on drugs and doctors to help them live. It’s never too late to be healthier, start while you are young enough don’t rely on fads and drugs reward yourself with health for your body and brain. Eating at the same time every day can increase weight lose eating a small breakfast, bigger lunch and a small dinner or two regular meals a day helps to control your body weight.

A herb in the hand

I’m learning herbal medicine, I’m don’t take Dr prescription medicine for anything and don’t never want to. I want to use herbs more because they are natural and my body should use it better. I’m not sure how many people use herbs, I do know a lot of people who would rather take medicine. I try to be a natural as I can I want to live as long as I can with little discomfort. Is there anyone that thinks like I do about herbs?

Vacation time of year

A lot of people are taking or on vacation about this time of year, school is on break and everyone needs a break. I personally have never taken a extended vacation it’s just not my thing. I see a lot of people pulling their campers on the road going camping I assume.
Most activities you do on vacation are exercise like hiking, camping, visiting places and walking on the beach are all exercise. The one thing most people don’t do on vacation is their diet. Splurging is fine and anyone would expect it, I would say try to use moderation keep the volume of what you are eating low.
The biggest thing is to try to have fun and your brain needs it.

Weight loss and loose skin

by

0

Sometimes when you lose a lot of weight you are left with extra skin because it stretched and grew to accommodate the extra fat.
If you have lost a large amount of fat you know what I’m talking about, you can replace it with muscle which is the best way. Most of the extra skin goes back to normal size but it depends on age and it takes time. If your weight loss is slower your skin may keep up with your new body. Natural is best because it’s also a learning lesson of how to eat and getting in a routine of eating habits and exercise. Surgery is the fastest to tighten your skin up but can be costly. As I said earlier age is a factor, I lost over 50 lbs myself before and I had loose skin I gave it time but I am the type of person who gets gratification from doing it myself. If you take the time to lose the weight take the time to finish the job. Having lose skin from weight loss is a badge of honor for your hard work.
