<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">An increasingly number of the world’s population is now
eager and interested in looking after their health and in keeping tune with
their well-being. It is important to note that this awareness is progressively
contributing to the creation of several health supplements to benefit both the
adults and the young ones. Dietary and vitamin supplements have constantly
proven their worth to health conscious individuals.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">An excellent daily multivitamin supplement does not only
develop your general bodily functions but also improves your mental and
physical condition and well being. Occasionally specification is needed in
appropriately supplementing nutrients to deal with any individual needs. An
example would be in heart disease patients, they would have to take in CoQ10 in
preventing the said condition. Alzheimer’s disease can be effectively prevented
by a regular combination of Vitamin C and E intake.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Multivitamin supplements necessarily include all the vitamins
and nutrients essential for recommended daily dosage. Multivitamin supplements
may also be formulated to meet the needs of individual conditions like
pregnancy and specific age brackets. It is a well settled fact that
multivitamins in liquid form are more efficient than the ordinary pill forms.
This is due to the fact that the body can easily absorb liquid nutrients five
times more than ordinary multivitamins in tablet or capsule form.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Basically, the body needs 13 essential vitamins to function
properly. In regulating the crucial performance of the body, it has to have
vitamins A, B, C, D, E, K, B12, and the 7 B-complex vitamins. Majority of these
vitamins are obtained by our body through the food that we eat. The danger of
illness or even mortality is in the deficiency of some of the essential
vitamins. This is where vitamin supplementation comes in. It counteracts the
illness caused by such deficiency. With this fact, it is very unlikely for
someone to refuse vitamin supplementation on a daily basis. So the question now
is, why is it necessary for individuals to take multivitamins when majority of
our daily diet can provide us with the basic nutrients we need? It may not be
compulsory, but everyone can profit from daily multivitamins.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As previously mentioned, the clear benefit of daily intake
of multivitamins it to prevent vitamin/nutrient deficiency. Some personal
circumstances may increase dietary needs. Pregnant women, during their first
trimester, are recommended by their doctors to take multivitamins. This does
not only provide the mothers with sufficient nutrition but also proper vitamins
to benefit the unborn child inside their womb. Taking multivitamins everyday
reduces the risk of transmitting malnutrition from a pregnant woman to her
unborn baby. Other conditions such as old age, alcoholism, smoking, and
exposure to excessive pollution have long-term detrimental effects to the body
system which can be successfully counteracted by multivitamins.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Stress is also one risk factor which needs serious supplementation
that multivitamins can provide. Especially with people who have so much to do
and have a hard time in keeping up with their health needs, multivitamins are a
must to keep them always on the go without any health complications in the long
run. Stress formulations benefit both your mental ability and daily endurance.
Aside from the mentioned benefits, daily multivitamins also minimize the risk
of cancer or any cardiovascular disease.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Several people, if not all, testify to have a feeling of comfortable
health in regularly taking in multivitamins. This is due to the synergistic or
combined effects of the supplemental ingredients found in multivitamins. A
fat-soluble antioxidant vitamin, like the Vitamin E, works to neutralize
probable harmful free agents in the body. This vitamin also maintains healthy
skin through protection of cell membranes, blood circulation, heart, nerves,
red blood cells, and muscles. Another antioxidant is the Vitamin C which
effectively fights blood cell infection and is vital in collagen formation,
wound healing, and formation of bone structures, capillaries, and teeth.
Vitamin is also helpful in the iron absorption from plant sources. Vitamins A,
D, K and other supplemental nutrients found in multivitamins have specific functions
that benefit the bodily functions.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">While daily intake of multivitamins may have proven
beneficial, it is not a 100% guarantee to be free of serious illness attributed
to other factors. It is often a misconception that symptoms of disease may always
be cured by taking multivitamins. Health experts have the better opinion of
immediate medical assistance rather than resorting to multivitamins alone.</span></div>

of you may be wondering how the liver cleanse (energy) juice is going. It’s
been good. The drink does give me a little energy boost in the afternoon and
makes me feel better. It also, quenches my thirst for something other than
water and has warded off a glass of wine craving or two. All things positive to
report. The only problem I’ve found is that the recipe isn’t very simple.
Juicing the fruits, peeling and shredding the ginger, and then blending
everything together. It’s not something that can be made on the fly. And while
I’ve been drinking the entire amount the recipe makes in a day or two, it can
be a little inconvenient. Next I’m going to try making a double or even triple batch
and see if that can’t get me through the week. I’m not sure how long it will
keep though. Anybody have any input on how long they think a juice with the
previously mentioned ingredients will keep when refrigerated? </div>

Lately at work I've been hitting a wall around 2:30-3:00 PM. I'm sure most of you know that feeling. It's a couple hours after lunch, the workday is almost over, but there's still a couple hours to go. I've tried a cup or two of coffee, but it doesn't have quite the effect as it does for me first thing in the morning. I could always pound an energy drink or stock up on one of the many 5 hr energy shots on the market. But as a rule, I like to stay away from things that are colorful and taste like fruit but aren't really fruit. I tried to initiate afternoon nap time, but my boss wasn't too keen on that idea. <br />
<br />
Recently, while I was pacing the office trying to get some of the blood back into my brain and complaining to my co-worker about the metaphorical wall that likes to stop me in my tracks every afternoon, she asked if I wanted to try this juice she had made. She apparently had been searching the Internet for a liver cleanse recipe and found this post on <a href="http://www.buzzle.com/articles/liver-cleansing-diet.html" target="_blank">buzzle.com.</a> She said that the juice gives her a little boost of natural energy, tastes good, and is very healthy too. I've decided to try it for a the next couple weeks. Below is the recipe and a few alterations I made.<b><br /></b><i><span style="color: blue;"><u>Ingredients</u></span></i><br />

<li><span style="color: blue;">1 cup distilled water </span><span style="color: black;">My friend said she used Coconut Water, but I just used regular filtered water. Next time I will probably try it her way. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;">2 inch fresh ginger</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;"> ½ teaspoon acidophilus </span><span style="color: black;">I only found capsules at the drugstore, so I just opened a couple of them up for the powder.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;">2 cloves garlic, minced</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;">2 tablespoons flax seed oil</span></li>
<li>I also decided to add cinnamon for an extra little kick of energy.</li>
</ul>
<span style="color: black;">1. Cut 2 grapefruits and 4 lemons in half, and squeeze juices into a bowl.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">2. Mix in garlic, grated ginger, acidophilus powder, flax seed oil, and cinnamon.</span><br />
<span style="color: black;">3. Add water and blend all ingredients together. </span><br />
4. I put the drink mixture into a couple water bottles, and will try drinking it a couple times a day and see how it goes.<br />

I recently started thinking more in depth about what we put into our bodies. It seems like everywhere you look these days, people are cautioning against even the foods that may seem healthy. Deli meats are loaded with nitrates, meat and poultry have unnecessary hormones. Even fruits and vegetables can cause harm due to
pesticides and bacteria. These days it's not enough just to eat healthy. We
have to live healthy. This is why I'm always on the look out for new recipes,
supplements, and lifestyle changes that may be beneficial to my health.</div>

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
I know that whenever I am thinking of trying something new, I first Google it
and see what is already out there on the subject. Who's tried it? What are
people saying about it? Etc. I'm sure that in this digital age, most of you do the
same. It's always nice to get a firsthand account of something before spending time, money, or energy on it. Therefore... One of the objectives of this blog is to be that source of information for
you, the reader. Let me be your guinea pig so-to-speak. We can exchange ideas, information, and experiences to make this a mutually beneficial forum for Healthy Living.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
In the history of fitness and aerobics, elliptical machines
are the only aerobic products who made a breakthrough. Almost all gyms, fitness
clubs and even homes have already acquired their own elliptical machines.
Elliptical machines continue to be popular. Users and buyers of these machines
even reached 2.8 million in 2005.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

Why are elliptical machines popular? What do users get from
them? There are many benefits that can be enjoyed by using an elliptical
machine.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
The exercises needed to maintain a healthy bone density
include running, aerobics, weight lifting and exercises where the person
remains on his feet. However, these activities may cause jarred bones, which is
very dangerous.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
With the elliptical machine, all exercises to maintain a
healthy bone density can be performed. Using an elliptical machine, the person

weight. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Stepping up and down the platforms causes pedaling with an
oval movement. This is very similar to the movement done when walking or
running. This only means that the elliptical machine is able to provide the
same benefits people can get with these exercises. Plus, they do not experience
harmful stress that can impact the bones and muscles.</div>

machine will allow a person to perform exercises smooth and flowing. This
minimizes the risk of being injured when performing workouts. The muscles are
safe since the pressure is evenly distributed on all the muscles of the body. This
will prevent the person from stressing and harming a certain muscle group.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Elliptical machines were also proven to provide workouts
best for the cardiovascular system. This is because of the many movements that
can be made using the machine. All the muscles of the body are working which is
good for maximizing the cardio impact in the body.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>

Many people would like to maintain a healthy body or even
lose weight the easier way. However, they would not like to risk the benefit
they can get in doing harder exercises. With the elliptical machines, users are
able to do exercises the easy way without sacrificing the amount of weight they
would lose. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>

incorporated high technology with them. Many were designed to provide natural
motion of body when using the machine. They may be priced higher than other
aerobic products but people can be assured that the physical benefits they
would like to get will not be neglected.</div>

person, such as the amount of muscle tissue, the frequency of the meals one
consumes, genetics, stress levels, personal diet and activity levels. Metabolism
slows done due to the following: loss of muscle because of not enough physical
activity, the tendency of the body to cannibalize its own tissue because there
is not enough food energy to sustain it, and the decrease of physical activity
that comes naturally with old age.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Here are several ways to fire up one's metabolism:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
1. Build up on lean, mean body mass. It is only natural that
metabolism decreases along with age, but it is possible to counter the effects.
The amount of muscle a person has is a very strong determinant in the ability
to burn calories and shed fat. So it goes without saying that exercise is
essential. Build strength and resistance by working out at least twice a week,
preferably with weights. Do easy exercises in between workouts. Simple tasks
such as walking the dog and using the stairs in place of the elevator can
already take off calories. The key is to match the amount of eating to the
amount of activity one has. Here are some guidelines in getting the right
exercise:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
For strength training</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
-Increase the amount of repetitions of a particular
exercise.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
-Add the level of resistance</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
-Utilize advance exercise techniques if possible</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
For cardiovascular training</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
-Insert intervals between exercises</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
-Perform cross-training and combine the exercises</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
-Add up on resistance and speed</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
2. Eat breakfast. A lot of people are ignoring the fact that
breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Surprisingly, the ones who eat
breakfast are thinner than the ones who do not. Metabolism can slow down
considerably if breakfast is taken during mid-morning or if one waits until the
afternoon to eat.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
3. Avoid sugar. Sugar enables the body to store fat. It is
recommended that a person consumes food that helps sustain an even level of
blood-sugar. Additionally, progressive execerise 2-3 times a week should be in
order to stabilize blood sugar.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
4. Eat spicy foods. Hot cuisine with peppers can increase
metabolism.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
5. Sleep more. According to research, it is riskier for
people who do not get enough sleep to gain weight. Also, muscles are
regenerated during the last couple of hours of slumber.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
6. Increase water intake. Water flushes out toxins that are
produced whenever the body burns fat. Majority of bodily functions involves
water, and lack of water causes the body system's operations to decrease its
speed, and produces unneeded stress as a result.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
7. Eat smaller meals. It is advisable to consume 4 to 6
small meals that are timed 2 to 3 hours apart.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
8. Never skip meals. People tend to skip meals in order to
lose weight, which is a big mistake since it slows down metabolism.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
9. Plan meals in detail. Always prepare the right amount of
food to be consumed at the designated intervals. Do not commit the mistake of
eating meals in sporadic patterns.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
9. Ditch the stress! Stress, be it physical or emotional,
triggers the release of a steroid called cortisol, which decreases metabolism.
Also, people tend to eat excessively when stressed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
10. Guzzle up on green tea. It can be used as a substitute
for coffee. Tea has the ability to stimulate metabolism, and unlike coffee, it
has no undesirable side effects when too much is consumed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
11. Include more energy foods in the diet, such as fruits
and vegetables, beans and whole grains.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Achieving the desired body weight is never impossible if one
has the determination and patience needed to stabilize the metabolism level,
which plays an important role in weight loss. A person needs to realize that
eating right and working out is not just a passing fancy, but a way of life.</div>Healthy Living Now with Chelsea Holmsteadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01983589695196704312noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138555588840310344.post-32400858372700083712012-07-26T07:43:00.001-07:002012-07-26T07:48:01.626-07:00Chelsea's Purpose in Walking<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Every morning when my alarm
clock rings, I feel someone start to move next to me. I open my eyes and am
greeted by a smile as I run my hands through dark hair and gaze into beautiful
brown eyes. As romantic as this may sound, the one next to me is not a lover,
it's my dog. Cleo, my 3 year old French Brittany,still has the energy of a pup
and has had to spend way more time than I'd like lying around my apartment
since we moved to Phoenix.
Although she seems to have gotten used to her city-dog lifestyle, you can
imagine how exciting some daily exercise must be to this little "jumping bean" as my mom
likes to call her.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I don't know if she can tell by the time
of day or if she just knows what the sound of my alarm clock means, but every
morning at 7 a.m. she's moving before I can even press snooze. She licks my hand, sniffs my face, and burrows into my side just trying to get me out of bed so we can hit the streets for our 30 minute morning walk. Most of the time I am happy to oblige (barring any illness or wine nights with my roommate) not just for her, but for my own mental and physical well-being.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">My friends and I used to jokingly quote Elle Woods from the movie<i>
Legally Blond</i> "Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make people
happy. Happy people just don't shoot their husbands. They just don't!"
While not the most intellectual quote, you have to admit that there's definitely some truth here.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXUbg-e7ky7-AItZk6fZgfNYfEDdAJf2uHVXfHX6XASGXGA_XQbRUtTHVCeN_G-uROZBM42cY9TLYqtmV20NKUG1Gk-U6d7frpvWukmdwHMyyvaBLf_NG9MQzZHVE1Hp9UEmPt2wwxTUI/s1600/ellewoods.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXUbg-e7ky7-AItZk6fZgfNYfEDdAJf2uHVXfHX6XASGXGA_XQbRUtTHVCeN_G-uROZBM42cY9TLYqtmV20NKUG1Gk-U6d7frpvWukmdwHMyyvaBLf_NG9MQzZHVE1Hp9UEmPt2wwxTUI/s200/ellewoods.jpg" width="151" /></a></span><span style="font-size: small;">We all know that exercise is good for us and I'm sure most of us have heard that it has mental benefits too, but I didn't know this: According to an article I read in <i>US News, </i>as little as ten minutes of exercise is enough to change your brain chemistry. Even small amounts of exercise can reverse the effects of stress, fight depression, improve learning/memory, boost self-esteem, and (my favorite) increase endorphins and the effects of serotonin and dopamine on the brain. There's a reason they call it "Runner's High!" </span><span style="font-size: small;">Just a 20 or 30 minute walk is enough to change my entire day. Some of my best ideas and clearest thoughts have come to me while walking/running in the morning.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I also feel a lot better knowing that no matter what happens in my day, I've already gotten some exercise. I always start my week with good intentions of going straight to the gym after, work, but very rarely am I able to follow through on those promises. It's almost like I'm tricking myself. I just get up and do it before I even have the option of becoming "too busy or too tired to exercise." </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">And while there are so many benefits to a little walk in the morning, I can't very well write about exercise without paying some attention to <b>calories</b> In fact, someone told me a while ago that a fast walk can actually burn more calories than running. I was a little skeptical so I did some googling and it looks like the jury is still out on that one. According to<a href="http://www.thatsfit.com/2009/07/08/does-walking-or-running-burn-more-calories/" target="_blank"> thatsfit.com</a>, it depends on the intensity for the run and/or the intensity of the walk. This makes sense to me. Either way, calories are calories and I'm always looking for a fun and entertaining way to burn them so I can have that afternoon piece of chocolate or glass of wine in the evening.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: small;">So, whether you get up and moving for the sake of your furry friend, your sanity, or your waistline; find peace in knowing that all of the above are being positively effected by just a few minutes out of your day :)</span></div>Healthy Living Now with Chelsea Holmsteadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01983589695196704312noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138555588840310344.post-40089664766144064052012-07-08T14:43:00.001-07:002012-08-08T12:52:13.499-07:00Josh Scurry of ALIVE New York a victim of cyber bullying<br />

<h2 style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</h2>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Do you want to have a body that can support you well into your old
age? Do you wish to have mental clarity, quality relationships, good
working internal functions, or even an overall feeling of well being?
Well, living a healthy lifestyle is what can get you there, or at least
improve your condition. There are three specific things that you should
do:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span id="more-2331"></span><b>1. Exercise</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
You shouldn’t be surprised that this one is on the list. It is
unavoidable. Physical activity is essential to healthy living. The body
was meant to move, and when it does not, it can become unhappy and ill.
Physical activity stimulates the body’s natural maintenance and repair
systems that keep it going. It improves circulation to our heart and
lungs. It gives us strength to stave off injuries, and it increases the
mobility in our muscles and joints. Physical activity also releases
endorphins; the feel good hormones that create a sense of general well
being. Physical activity is good for the body and the mind.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Exercises include brisk walking, cycling, dancing, swimming, rowing,
elliptical workouts and jogging. Yoga, and pilates are also good
exercise workouts; however, they should be performed in conjunction with
the cardiovascular-type workouts mentioned above.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b>2. Eating healthy</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Have you ever heard of the saying “you are what you eat” or “garbage
in garbage out”? Well, it is true. What you put into your body directly
affects how you feel physically, your mood, your mental clarity, your
internal workings, and even your skin. Eating healthy does not mean
eating expensive foods with little taste. As a matter of fact, there are
some fantastic health recipes online and in cookbooks that are very
healthy. Basically, you want to aim for a diet that is low in salt, fat
and unprocessed foods and is high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains
and omega-3 fatty acids. It is also good to take a multi vitamin to
ensure you are meeting your nutrient requirements.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b> </b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<b>3. Reduce stress</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
We have got to get rid of all of this stress. Stress happens when
your life becomes out of balance physically, mentally or emotionally.
This imbalance can be caused by internal stress like worrying too much,
environmental stress like pressure from work, family or friends, or by
stress from being fatigued or overworked. Being stressed out has the
potential to affect your health in a variety of ways. You can become
tired, sick, tense, irritable, and unable to think clearly. If you want
to live a healthy lifestyle, you will need to manage the stress in your
life so that it does not overtake you. This means taking charge of your
thoughts, emotions, tasks, and environment to get your body back in
balance.</div>Healthy Living Now with Chelsea Holmsteadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01983589695196704312noreply@blogger.com0
