Fitness Is Key To Overall

Fitness is an obvious key to overall wellness. Though it may be surprising to some, fitness is easier than many think. Fitness levels aren't necessarily readily apparent by looking at someone either. I've attended and participated in many races, walks and rides and it's not always the most fit looking individuals that are having a strong finish. So, although you may not feel that you have the typically "fit" body type it doesn't mean you aren't, can't or won't be fit. Cardio fitness is the key! Having a strong, healthy heart is the most important thing on which to focus. If you make having a strong heart your goal, other things like weight loss, stronger muscles, stronger bones and increased lung capacity will naturally follow. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE "FIT"? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), physical fitness is defined as 'the ability to carry out daily tasks with vigor and alertness, without undue fatigue, and with ample energy to enjoy leisure-time pursuits and respond to emergencies.' A lot of people today huff and puff after walking from the car into their workplace, or walking around the grocery store. Our lives are no longer designed to maintain physical fitness. In years past just living promoted fitness, working to grow or gather our own food, hunting, building our dwellings, carrying water, were all physical tasks. Humans didn't have time to sit around and become unfit. If they did, it was because they were dying! In their book, Younger Next Year, Chris Crowley and Henry Lodge, MD, cover this evolutionary phenomenon in detail. bCNjzHde

I Became a Healthy Mom and a Healthy Wife

After giving birth to my second child, I was what the doctor labeled obese. I knew I was overweight, but after my six-week follow-up I looked at the numbers on the scale and thought that while they still seemed high, they didn't put me into the obese category. I waited almost a year before taking action to get the pounds off. My family and I eat sit-down meals together daily. It was a ritual I grew up with that gave me time to talk to my family and bond with my siblings. Today, it is even more important to take that time together, but with our busy schedules sometimes it isn't possible for some families. Mine usually does, though, and I guess I thought that because we were not eating out all the time we were eating healthy meals. After joining a weight-loss program, I actually became educated on what is involved in a healthy lifestyle - and food is just one of the factors. I was shocked to learn what an actual serving size is, and even more shocked that one would actually fil...

Plump, Round and Healthy

My husband and I recently took a relaxing and fun vacation to Maine. The weather was enviable in August coming from hot and humid Charleston. So were the food, landscape and the Mainer's way of life. Yes, there were plenty of lobsters, haddock, and halibut up there on which to dine. Also plentiful and tasty were tiny, wild blueberries that seemed to be growing everywhere. One day our curiosity got the best of us and we stopped to see how the berries were picked. As I stood there watching and listening to this "local," I couldn't help but wonder, what's so special about these little fruits and how were they different from the larger kind I buy at my local grocery store? But since we all know that fruit is an important part of a healthy diet and that you should be consuming the equivalent of 1.5 to 2.5 cups a day, I wanted to find out more. What I found out is these wild blueberries plants are only one of three fruits native to North America. They have grown natur...

Staying Healthy Prevents Sickness

Hello everyone, my name is Kyle and I am going to share with you what I have learned about the misperception that you are living fit as opposed to actually living fit. A year ago, living fit to me was going to the gym 3 days a week and working on arms, legs, chest, the usual. I just went to the gym because it was the masculine thing to do and lots of people did it. It also "kept me in shape", at least I thought. I started to question if I was actually living a "healthy" lifestyle during the winter time. For the 3rd year in a row I got very sick and ended up being hospitalized. Some of you may experience the same conditions. All I thought was that I got sick from the cold weather. Little did I know that there were many more reasons as to why I was hospitalized. For days I would sit in my bed with troubled breathing which I thought was all due to asthma. This turned out to be wrong. As I questioned myself I ended up doing extensive research on what can make people s...
