were trying and what not to do. I found some really helpful information and some that wasn’t too helpful. One site pulled my attention right away. It started with this line, “There are no magic diets, pills, or operations for long-term, healthy weight loss.” (Eve Guth, 2014) I have seen so many of my friends try AdvoCare, Thrive, and various diet pills. I was very excited to read that as the opening line. This article gave me a breakdown of how to start my process. It explained to find a…
How to workout There’s so many people that don’t like the idea of working out. They even groan whenever they hear the words “time for some exercise” or “let’s go to the gym.” I myself would act the same way, I dreaded the idea of doing some exercise. But the first thing that people should realize is that exercise prevents obesity. And we all know that that is very common in America. Not only does it prevent obesity but it also prevents stress and diabetes, which leads to a long and healthy life…
Last week my grandmother fell. In one little misstep, she hit the ground breaking both her legs. How is that even possible? She didn’t even trip over anything! Sadly, the cause of such breakage was due to her weak brittle bones. She never made time for exercise during her entire life. She can’t recall a single day when she broke a sweat. This complete lack of exercise caused her bones to become delicate and frail. She always had an excuse and never made time for her body. Sadly, most Americans…
More to Physical Activity than Obesity People either go to school or work, and then try to use that as an excuse to not being physically active. Some of them daydream about getting home and spending the rest of their days sitting on a couch watching television, sleeping, listening to music, or eating. They do not think of going to the gym,playing any sport, or anything that has to do with movement. When discussing the topic exercise with other people most of them tend to correlate physical…
health concern. No one ever tells you about the healthy lifestyle paired up with the unhealthy obsession to get slim quick. The reality that my friend was suffering through looking at constant pictures making herself feel bad that she wasn 't like the models. She tried the clean eating and exercising regularly but the results were not coming quick enough for her liking and she realized that by just throwing up her meals she could faster results. This went on for half a year, little by little no…
They believe that the subcutaneous fat that is easily seen in the obese individuals is the only kind of unhealthy fat. However, in a video about weight loss entitled, “10 Things You Need to Know About Losing Weight,” a body scan of a man of healthy size and weight revealed large amounts of visceral fat. Visceral fat is the hard fat that surrounds the organs that can lead to cancer of those organs. So…
The Importance of Literacy “Evan call my mom now. I can’t get up!” I screamed while on the ground at the bottom of a stair set. I had taken a nasty spill while jumping some stairs my skateboard and it felt like my leg had been torn into two pieces at my knee. After going to the hospital and being told I had dislocated my knee, I went home on crutches in pain. I had a feeling this would be the end of my farfetched dream of becoming a professional skateboarder. I received a phone call a few…
The first questionnaire I completed was The Healthy Lifestyle Questionnaire, which had surprising results. I typically consider myself a very healthy individual. I don’t smoke, drink, do drugs, or even abuse over-the-counter medications. I typically workout at least 3 hours a day, 7 days a week. These workouts combinine strength training with cardiovascular fitness activities such as swimming and running. However, when considering my healthy lifestyle, I left out some key behaviors such as using…
Zija weight loss, you may be surprised to find out, is not a diet plan. There is no such thing as a Zija weight loss "system"! Diet plans involve eating boxed meals, counting points & calories, working out & spiting out anything that taste good. How many of you have tried Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem or one of the many other known weight loss plans on the market today and more importantly how many of them worked for you? Granted, when done properly, diet plans will work, but only if you are…
Let’s face it, we can’t stop the aging process and along with it are possibilities of health problems like Type-2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity.
