WHY ARE WE SO OVERWEIGHT?
Jun/090
I suppose the easiest answer is fast food, but the problem extends out to so much more. Yes, the prevalence of fast food restaurants certainly doesn’t help. As Morgan Spurlock showed us with painful reality in his movie, “Super Size Me”, fast food menus offer us a heaping helping of fat, cholesterol, and calories. I highly recommend watching this movie if you find yourself addicted to McDonald’s – you could very well change your mind after you see it!
At any rate, many of these restaurants are now offering health-conscious choices including salads, potatoes instead of French fries, yogurt, and grilled meats instead of fried meats. So with these items now included on their menu, why aren’t we losing weight? The answer lies within our choices. Those choices extend to home life as well.
Many people live horridly busy lifestyles, and they more often than not opt for pre-packaged foods that contain high amounts of salt, fat, and other unhealthy components that contribute toward weight gain. We tend to maintain a mostly sedentary lifestyle choosing to watch a favorite television program after dinner rather than going out for a walk like they used to do decades ago.
This type of life style unfortunately is being learned by our children as well. When I was young, we couldn’t wait to get through dinner so we could go outside and play a game of kick the can as the sun went down. We rode our bikes everywhere and only watched television when “The Brady Bunch” or “The Partridge Family” was on. Hey, we had our priorities!
Today, you’re more likely to find kids on the computer or in front of the TV with a video game controller in their hands. Kids know more about the story line on Desperate Housewives than many of their housewife mothers. They can tell you about all of the new products being offered through commercials they see in between their programs. In fact, the average child these days will watch more than 15 hours of television each and every week.
Now, we’re not saying television is BAD. In fact, some programs can be beneficial and even helpful in making kids smarter. What we’re saying is that kids need to get outside more instead of sitting in front of the TV eating Cheetos and drinking sugar rich soda.
The statistics are showing this to be true. Fifteen percent of all children and teens are overweight - a number that has tripled since a previous study done in 1980.

EATING SMART THE WORLD’S BEST DIET
Jun/090
When most of us think of the word “diet,” we think of a short-term plan
involving extreme and sometimes bizarre food restrictions or prescriptions in order to lose excess weight in as little time as possible. But at one time, before the Weight Watchers‚ and Scarsdales of the modern world, “diet” referred to the food and drink we routinely consumed. And so it should. Short-term and extreme weight-loss plans don’t generally have long-term health benefits. As I mentioned earlier, I am not advocating an overnight solution to whatever ails us, but rather a lifelong food management system that will ensure our optimal well-being. There is no need to flip-flop from diet to diet to diet. We must simply eat in harmony with our longstanding genetic predisposition to food—food that is natural, whole and bioenergetic. We must follow the natural circadian rhythm both daily and seasonally. And we must build a physical and emotional routine that will benefit and not harm our health. If we do, we will be delivering all of the nutrients to our 100 trillion cells necessary for self-diagnosis and self-healing. We will achieve hormonal balance. We will boost our mood, remain vigilant, calm and alert. We will live a longer, healthier life. The lifelong food management system that can achieve all of this, I like to call “The World’s Best Diet.” It is based on four important, but easily understood, principles: adaptability, moderation, variety and balance.

WALKING FOR WEIGHT LOSS
Jun/090
Exercises are good for your workout program because they help tone flabby muscles while also burning calories. But aerobic exercise is best to burn fat. A great way to get an aerobic workout is to walk.
Walking is the easiest and most effective exercise we can use in our workout routine. But you need to know more than one foot in front of the other to get the most from walking as aerobic exercise.
Because of how the body draws on fat stores versus other stored energy sources, the first thing you need to do is increase the time you spend walking. While we’ve said that 30 minutes of exercise is good for fat burning, when you walk, you really need to bump this up to at least 45 minutes, but ideally an hour.
Obviously, it might not be possible for you to fit an hour of walking into your busy schedule, but try walking every day allowing a few days for an hour and a few days at 30 minutes. Alternate them, however. If you walk an hour on Monday, walk half an hour on Tuesday, etc.
If you’re only going to be walking for 30 minutes, increase your speed. A leisurely stroll isn’t going to give you that aerobic workout that your body needs, so step it up a bit. But don’t overdo it. If you can’t talk and walk, you’re over-exerting yourself and you should back off a bit.

HEALTHY EATING
Jun/090
Why is healthy eating important?
As we get older, managing your weight properly and getting the right balance of food types will improve your overall feeling of well-being, whilst also reducing the risk of developing illness and diseases.
Do you have a healthy diet?
Healthy diet explained:
•Try to have plenty of starchy foods such as rice, bread, pasta, potatoes,
breakfast cereals, yams and sweet potatoes. Always try to go for the wholemeal variety in these foods where possible
•Aim to have five portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables daily
•Use a moderate amount of dairy prouct and look for low fat varieties
•Moderate amount of meat, fish or alternatives such as eggs, beans, peas and lentils - look for lower fat versions where possible
• The occasional treat (foods that are higher in fat, salt and/or added sugar should only be eaten in moderation)
•Little salt - always read the label
