Why Should We Exercise?

-

 Older adults are complaining about sagging skin and why that happens. This is my take. Younger people tend to bulk up in the upper body and the legs. That's pretty normal. Many of today's young adults are doing the opposite. Slim and trim is the new-looking "healthy body". Maybe these slim and trim adults can avoid the problem of sagging skin? That's still a maybe because we have to see how long they can stay slim. 

 Back to sagging skin. No matter your size or built, when you're young you have a more firm body mass. That might be because most younger people are more active. Why, because they have more energy. We tend to slow down after 35 and that body mass starts to soften up, slowly turning into fat. 

As we get older that upper body mass starts to shift and slide lower. You can see that just by walking down the city streets and watching people. Seniors with a weight problem tend to be more spear shaped. The upper body bulk is now below the rib cage. Once that happens it's almost impossible to lose that excess fat. 

The solution is to exercise or be more active earlier in life, especial during middle age. Most adults do all the damage to their bodies during middle age. Exercise at all ages is a good thing, but exercise for out-of-shape seniors won't help their weight problems. Your diet is the solution to repairing your body and losing body fat. Exercise is good for circulation, joints, and your heart. Exercise for middle age adults can keep your body mass firm and avoid sagging skin problems for several more years. Eventually, we will all get sagging skin if we live long enough, but why rush it. It also helps if you can get slim and trim before you reach middle age and stay slim all your life. Gaining weight as an adult only creates health problems.

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. Very little red meat is eaten in this region, and milk consumption is limited as well, except for some cheese and yogurt

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
