This Year Think About Being a Healthier Person

-
Some of us get wrapped up in the wrong things in life and we don't take care of ourselves. How does this happen you might ask. We think that we are multi-taskers but in reality we aren't very good at it. We try and do more than we can do and become overloaded. This can happen to anyone, but a lot of us don't realize it's happening to them.
You can easily analyze your own situation by stepping back for a minute and looking at your life from an outsiders point of view.
Are you skipping meals? Do you make time for exercise? How much did you weight when you got out of High School? How much do you weigh now? Are you eating healthy foods? Are you sleeping 7 hours a night?
Often we can find out for ourselves if we have a health problem if we can be objective. Americans often rush through their day so fast just to get it over with and never slow down to see what they're doing wrong.
We cause our own health problems by not paying attention to our bodies needs. We constantly ignor our health and we are ignoring the things in our life that are difficult to manage. We rush so fast through our day just to get the work over with so we can do things that we enjoy doing. We have become obsessed with finding more ways to entertain ourselves rather than concentrating on the things that matter.
It was never like this a couple generation ago. I see this problem that we have in our modern world is that technology has advanced so rapidly that we all have this thurst for knowledge and have become obsessed with having all the new gadgets. Thank God that this next generation is trying to pay more attention to their health and their physical condition. We'll have to see what happens to them as they grow older.
If you are concerned at all with your health and have been reading my posts and other health blogs, you probably know that your body fat is the cause of most health problems. To avoid those problems you should lose body fat and how do you do that? Simply, change the foods your eating and increase your activity.
All of us sit too much. It's not all your fault. Today most Americans work sitting down. Actually, that's the reason for most people are overweight. One hour at the gym every day can't make up for 8 hours of sitting. Have you ever noticed that people who have to work standing up are thinner on average than people who work sitting down. For instance, most people who work in retail, like a cashier, on average is thinner than an office worker.
If you spend your work day sitting 90% of the time and going home and sitting more after dinner and than spending 8 hours in bed, how much standing and moving around are you really doing? This might surprise you but the average office worker only spends about 4 hours a day on their feet.
This is a major change from a few generation ago, when our grandparents spent 12 hours a day minimum on their feet. So the results are that we are heavier and have poor circulation and several other health problems that have all sprung up recently because the population is growing fatter.

The Mediterranean diet is based on the traditional foods eaten by people living in the Mediterranean region, especially Greece. It's loaded with healthy foods and research findings suggest following this diet may help reduce some of the risk factors for heart disease.  According to the Oldways Preservation & Exchange Trust, the Mediterranean diet was introduced in 1993 by Oldways, Harvard School of Public Health and the World Health Organization.  The diet includes: Olives and olive oil Whole grains, mostly in bread and cereal rather than pasta Very little red meat Fish and seafood Some cheese, but less milk Lots of vegetables and fruit Plenty of legumes and nuts A little red wine The Mediterranean diet is high in fiber and antioxidants from vegetables, legumes and nuts, far greater than the typical Western diet, and low in saturated fat.

Changing Your Life To Lose Weight

-

I can let you in on the ultimate secret for successfully making a change in your life. A century’s worth of psychological research reveals an interesting paradox in who we are. On the one hand, once we reach adulthood our basic personalities remain unchanged for the rest of our lives. We keep doing the same things—and feeling the same ways—over and over. But, on the other hand, every day we change our behavior drastically in response to different environments. Most of us are one person at work, for example, and another person at home. It is easier to change our environment than to change ourselves. So, if you want to change yourself, change your environment. Said differently: Whenever possible, don’t try to fight temptations – avoid them! The easiest way to make a change in your life is to modify the world around you in ways that will naturally drive you toward making, and maintaining, the change you want. There are many ways to change your environment, but let’s focus

Cancer and High Protein Diets

-
On the Fox TV Network the other night, one of the big stories was about high protein diets. A new study has shown a link between the over consumption of animal protein and how it can stimulate the growth of cancer cells. It seems we all have cancer cells but they don’t normally grow, unless we consume too much animal fat, dairy or fats from processed foods. Before I continue I want to explain about the link to cancer. After all, Man has been eating red meat for millions of years, right. That's true but todays red meat is not the same. Most red meat that we buy in the supermarket comes from Steers that have been raised in feed lots on a grain diet that is full of hormones and other chemicals that shorten the growing time and put more fat on the animal. These hormones and other chemicals stay in the meat and what you're buying will contain the chemicals that the animal ate. Normally a grass feed Steer that lives on the range in big herds will take 18 to 20 months to grow to
