Inspired To Be Fit For Life !!!!

Inspired To Be Fit For Life


My desire to get fit for life started a few years ago when I was treated for breast cancer. After the operation I used the time while recuperating to really consider where I was at as far as my health was concerned.

I did some research and came to the conclusion that my cancer had been brought on by stress. I think stress is one of the primary causes of cancer, yet little research is being done in this area. Looking at my diet and exercise, I also looked at ways to reduce my stress levels as a constructive path towards my healing process.

As I did more research, I found that each part I looked at was linked to another. A healthy diet seemed to be a prerequisite to become fit for life. Then there was the need to do some form of exercise.

This came as no surprise, but then I found I also needed to be in the right frame of mind, to set goals , be positive, to know where I was going and what I believed in. I had thought of these things as totally different to my physical health, but I was finding out how much control our minds have over our bodies.

I had found for myself what several people already knew and that is to be fit for life you need to embrace holistic health. By this I don't mean total alternative medicine. Just that we need to treat the body as a whole being, including the mind and soul. I liked the idea and the more I read the more I liked the idea, and the more sense it made.

I became interested in mind power and began to understand more about how attitude has such a large bearing on how we react to illness. I knew that the surgeon had done what he could, but the rest was up to me.

I had always been fit, a big part of our life has been living aboard and cruising our yacht, but even so I decided that to stay fit for life meant making a proper effort.

Part of my exercise was to cycle to work. I took up meditation and once I had mastered the relaxation technique, I was amazed at how good it made me feel. Some years previously my husband had used meditation and mind control to cure seasickness, so he was always very supportive.

Gradually I began the changes that I thought would be more beneficial to my health. I also embraced techniques and ideas, some of which are many thousands of years old, but all new to me.

Being fit for life encompasses the physical, spiritual, emotional and mental parts of ourselves. As we grow we need to be aware of areas that need attention. It might be hard to get your head around some ideas such as emotional health, but you don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that if you dislike your job and hate going to work every day, somewhere down the line it will have an impact on your health.

If you are carting around emotional baggage such as guilt, resentment or grudges, they will eventually eat away at you and cause problems, not only in your day to day life but also with your health.

I was grateful to medical science for making it possible for me to be treated for breast cancer, but at the same time I didn't want to spend the rest of my life taking drugs. When the surgeon suggested a course of radiation after the operation, I refused.

The same went for the drugs, though I had no medical knowledge to back up my belief, I just knew it wasn't right for me. There had to be a better way to staying healthy other than taking drugs for the rest of my life.

Being fit for life isn't about a quick fix or instant cure, it is about getting to know yourself and finding out what is right for you. It is prevention rather than cure. Had I been following a fit for life regime earlier, I would not have got the cancer in the first place.

Once we understand that we have the tools to facilitate self healing, that it is up to us to start learning how to use them, we can stop the use of drugs and the over burdening of our hospital systems.

I changed my whole life. I not only ate a better diet and did more exercise, that was the easy part. I also got rid of the stress and emotional baggage, I changed my job to something I enjoy doing and now live a more positive life. Diet Solutions can really get you on the right track to being happy healthy and fit for life!!!!

Muscle Building – The Right Way

Let me share with you the truth about muscle building and why so many men and women, lets say around a good 90% – 95% in the gym have such a hard time building muscle. And why they never see any kind of real results. One of the reasons is that a good percentage of them spend way too many hours and days training in the gym. When you train your muscles for too long you over-train them, which prevents you from gaining muscle. So how much training time do you really need? To build serious muscle the right way it should not take longer than 30 minutes. If done the right way, 30 minutes and good rest is key.
Another key to building muscle (and this is an important component) is good nutrition. Most people (and I do mean most) forget the fact that good nutritional eating is by far one of the most critical components of your entire work-out program. Many people overlook good nutrition in their muscle building process. The body needs good solid nutritional foods along with good rest in order for the body to build muscle faster and even heal faster. Now this is very important; When training you need to know which nutritional foods to eat, how much nutritional foods to eat, and when to eat nutritional foods. If you don’t know these things you will have NO chance of ever getting that muscular body that you always desired and dreamed of.
To aid in your muscle building process along with good nutrition you need to know how to Get a Leaner Hard-Body with Healthier Post Workout Nutrition.  The majority of all the so-called muscle building powdered drinks and the muscle building pills are really not good for your health, and WILL empty out your wallet. There are really a very few supplements that will actually help you to build muscle

Best way is to start off early, commit yourself to a life of exercises and routines, cut off on fast foods and popping something in your mouth the moment you feel hungry. In most cases, you would find that the very sight of food creates hunger in you, and even though you may not be hungry, you would be tempted to eat.
The American dietitian knows very well that the root cause of obesity in the country today is the desire to munch on something in most Americans. To stop this crave for food, one needs to follow a simple regimen of disciplined exercises and quality food intake that adds on to the muscles and not to the weight by means of layers of fat deposits around the abdomen.

Muscle Building and Fitness

It is everyone’s dream to achieve a perfect body, however achieving that seems to be an uphill task for some. And besides there is no such thing as a perfect physique. However, we can still make use of the resistance exercises to considerably build you a muscle sculpted physique. One good advantage of using the “Powerhouse” is you gain a very sculpted physique without adding too much stress to your system such as the bone joints and cartilages.
Muscle sculpting is a means of achieving fitness by replacing the original body with curves, natural strength, and lines. There are many ways of achieving this, these ways are through dancing, exercises, aerobics, strength training, endurance etc. Just as i mentioned earlier, the resistance exercises is one instrument used for also churning out a stunning physique. While you are doing your Muscle sculpting exercise, special attention should be paid at areas such as the small and large muscle groups in your system.
You will also consider things such as your diet, learn all about sculpting, types of exercises, and types of muscle sculpting adapted to different bodies. The muscles are our vigor, strength, and force. The muscles give us sturdiness and weight, strength, might, and movement abilities.
If you can afford your local gym, this can give you all the equipment you ever wanted. Keep in mind that gymnasiums often run monthly specials, holiday’s specials, and so on. For now, you can begin working out at home.
You can take long walks, jog, run, skate, ski, bicycle, swim, and so forth to strengthen the body. In fact, swimming is ideal for building resistance, endurance, strength, energy and more. Swimming is one of the best exercises since it works the entire body. Walking is also good, since it too works the entire body. Bicycling will promote joint strength, strength of muscles, and will give you energy. You can also use bicycling as resistance training, especially if you ride up hill, or in areas where you have to use additional strength to ride, not just lazy hardly peddling rides.

Great Diet Lessons from Caveman!!!

 Great Diet Lessons from Caveman

Cavemen new how to survive in the wild and eat food that is available to us today!
 But more importantly, they knew how to survive in the healthiest way possible. There were no diet plans as we think of them.
The only diet programs in those day were the ones that were shared by all. What cavemen knew instinctively was exactly what the best diet that works for them.
Let's all take a quick lesson from our ancestors and see which elements of their diet are tips we can begin to incorporate right away to lose unwanted body fat and improve our health.
  1. Cavemen only ate what they could kill or find in the wild. By no means am I suggesting you begin to kill and hunt for your own food (we do have grocery stores now a days, thank goodness) but we still would benefit greatly by following this method in our own 21st century kind of way. If the food on your plate is not something your fellow caveman friend could have hunted, gathered and found himself, chances are you shouldn't be eating that food. For example, a plate of lean hamburger and vegetables, followed by fresh fruit is perfect (for you and your new friend) but add a piece of bread or some pasta and now you have confused your fellow cave friend. These are not foods that existed during those times and are foods we are much healthier without.
  2. Cavemen only drank what they could find. Do you know what people have been able to find for centuries? That's right, good old fashioned H2O (water that is). Water is truly the magic potion to weight loss and increased health. Unfortunately a great majority of people are walking around severely dehydrated and suffering from many negative side effects which could all be easily resolved by drinking more water. Hunger, headaches, constipation, and digestive discomfort are just a few of the many symptoms that can easily be resolved by a few cups of water. Make sure to drink half of your bodyweight in ounces of water each day (i.e. 200 lbs should drink 100 ounces).
  3. Cavemen stayed active for a majority of their day. I know this isn't exactly part of their Best Diet but it is an essential and integral part of fat loss and optimized health. Tell your new caveman friend that he has to sit in an office chair all day and then go home and sit on the couch for the rest of the night and he will look at you like you are crazy (not that he doesn't already think you are crazy but this would make matters worse). Move, move, move. Movement doesn't always mean formal exercise. Take the stairs to your office, walk the parking lot a few extra times, get up and walk around the office a minimum of once per hour, anything to prevent you from sitting all day long. Today if modern man even tried to keep up with the daily activity and regimen of a caveman, they would quickly fall over in exhaustion.
The Best Diet and the Best Lifestyle plan can be easily established by just modeling the daily activities and food choices of cavemen. Use this question today to establish your own caveman habits "Is this food or drink something I could have found in the wild thousands of years ago?" If the answer is no, don't eat it and find yourself a food that is more natural. Of course, don't forget to share with your new caveman friend!
Eat as close to natural as possible as your first choice, drink plenty of water, eat lots of raw foods such as fruits and vegetables, as much as possible....
