What’s Your Excuse for Not Exercising?

You know you need to exercise more, or even you need to start exercising, but you don’t. If not, why not? We all get down and out, especially with what’s going on in the world. I really don’t watch the news very often as it’s too depressing. Anything that is so important, someone will tell me. Why watch all the negative…just makes you more negative. That’s a whole different topic (being positive, the Law of Attraction, etc., and really not for this blog. (Check out my Abundant Wealth blog for that). Sorry, back on topic…my point is this, exercise is a great way to relieve stress. It will also make you feel better, then you will start to eat better, then you will continue feel better and your attitude will change. Just get started. Go to this website and watch the short video on the right. Then come back and tell me what your excuse is for not exercising.

Don’t Eat Fruit? You Might Want to Reconsider…

I just love eating fruit! Of course, one of my favorites is melon which is high glycemic…Have to avoid that, for now, along with bananas, while losing weight.

Fruits provide an abundance of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, essential oils, antioxidants, fiber, and anti-inflammatory substances. Many are alkaline-forming, so they help counteract our strongly acidic diet that eats away at our bones. High levels of potassium in fruit, balance high salt diets to help prevent high blood pressure. (Remember, no bananas if you want to lose weight)! They also help manage blood sugar, regulate bowel function, and strengthen blood vessels, bones, nails, teeth, skin and hair. Humans could not survive long without healthy fruit.

Antioxidant content may be the most compelling reason for loading up on these wonderful foods. Oxidative stress from eating, illness or injury, (even the air we breathe), produces excess free radicals that damage cells and tissues. It is said that skipping antioxidants, over time, may ultimately lead to heart disease, cancer, allergies, and other inflammatory diseases. (Listen to this interview with Dr. Robert Keller, why Glutathione is our body’s MASTER ANTIOXIDANT). However, not all fruits are created equal. Fruits like blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, cherries, grapefruit and fresh cranberry have the best antioxidant content, followed by apples, peaches, pears, plums, oranges and dates. Whole fruit is best, and some juices are acceptable, especially if they are not concentrated and NO sugar is added. Unfortunately, people are attracted to the super sweet juices and fruits like bananas, grapes and orange juice. Yet, even these are superior to most of the sweetened junk that kids are eating. (More about this in another post).

Good food means good health. So, when it comes to food, we must take health into our own hands!

Change Your Diet, Change Your Health

Tomorrow’s an exciting day! I’m going to be featured on SoWalScene’s website! Yippee!!! Check it out and let me know what you think.

This is truly amazing and is just additional proof about the foods you eat. I found this video on YouTube and felt it is worth sharing. Consult with a doctor before doing anything…A Natural Doctor, of course

Did you ever see the documentary Super Size Me? Director Morgan Spurlock takes a hilarious and often terrifying look at the effects of fast food on the human body. For one month, Spurlock eats nothing but McDonald’s food, ordering everything on the menu at least once and “super-sizing” his order if asked. With 2 out of 3 American’s overweight, Spurlock’s film begs the question: Where does personal responsibility end and corporate responsibility begin?

Why won’t people take their own responsibility for becoming healthier?

What are your thoughts?

To Your Health…
