Healthy Behavior

Wednesday, March 10, 2010
posted by Bill J 7:07 AM

With the fast pace of life, we seem to be running from one activity to another. Many times I find myself being short with people when my stress level is up. One book that I have treasured is George Washington’s Rules Of Civility and Decent Behaviour. Since most of us admire the first President of the USA, it is only fitting to take a few days to give several of his rules that you may find interesting.

  •   Every action done in company ought to be done with some sign of respect to those that are present.
  •   When in company, put not your hands to any part of your body, not usually discovered.
  •   In the presence of others sing not to yourself with a humming noise, nor drum with your fingers or feet.
  •   If you cough, sneeze, sigh, or yawn, do it not loud, but privately; speak not in your yawning, but put your handkerchief or hand before your face then turn aside.
  •   Sleep not when others speak, sit not when others stand,speak not when you should hold your peace.
  •   Be no flatterer; neither play with any that delights in not being played with.
  •   Let your countenance be pleasant, but in serious matters somewhat grave.

Come back tomorrow for more healthy rules from the father of America, George Washington. Get great fitness workouts, for a healthier you, with Horizon Treadmills. Whether you walk, run, or both, this will give you the exercise and fitness that your body needs to meet its day to day challenges. Check it out now: see you tomorrow.

Seek A Positive Lifestyle

We need to look at the good and positive things more than the negative aspects that happen in our day to day living. If we count our blessings instead of our setbacks, then our days run more smoothly.

A great saying by Abraham Lincoln said that if we look for the bad in people, surely we will find it. As we keep busy, with a positive attitude, then the benefits will follow. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “what lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us.”

We need to lose ourselves in something bigger than ourselves. ” The more you lose yourself in something bigger than yourself, the more energy you will have,” stated Norman Vincent Peale. Have a passion in life with what you do, for that is energy. Oprah said, ” feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.”

There are times in many of our lives, where we aren’t entirely happy with our weight. It is so easy to put on a few pounds as our active lifestyle gets us behind in keeping fit. Blending together exercise with healthy weight loss products, like Maqui Superberry or Botanics Choice, will assist you in getting back to where you want to be. Check it out here on our link then give it a try. You will be glad that you did.

George Bernard Shaw said, ” Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.”

H.G. Wells said ” man must not allow the clock and the calendar to bind him to the fact that each moment of this life is a miracle and a mystery.”

Henry Ford stated that life was a series of experiences with each one making us bigger and better, even though we may not realize it at the time.

Be careful whom you hang around with: bad company corrupts good morals.

As St. Francis prayed, so should we. ” Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.

It’s easy to focus on what’s bad in our situation, but seek to focus on the positive. For positive results with healthy weight loss, consider trying Maqui Superberry or Nutrisystem. They have a track record of winning results.

Here are some more sayings and quotes to ponder:

  Success is a journey, not a destination. Success is getting up just one more time than you fall down.

  ” Let no feeling of discouragement prey upon you, and in the end you are sure to succeed.”  Abraham Lincoln

  Doing your best is more important than being the best.  Your attitude determines your altitude.

  “We generate fears while we sit; we overcome them by action. Fear is nature’s warning signal to get busy.”  Henry Link

  ” The world is full of willing people: some willing to work; the rest willing to let them.”  Robert Frost

  All of us lose occasionally, but we’re never beat until we quit.  Success is a journey, not a destination.

Lastly, for today, on the desk of  President John F. Kennedy in the White House, a small plaque stated, ” Oh God, Thy sea is                       so great and my boat is so small.”

We have found an amazing brand of co-q10 by Dr. Sears that we highly recommend. Try some today and feel that extra stamina working within your body.

Ten Tips To Follow

When there are ways to enrich our lives, we should make the effort to just do them. Life goes faster the older we get, so incorporate some everyday habits that will help both you and your family.

Do something for someone else, maybe even without them knowing it. Count your blessings each day, thanking God for them. Keep in mind the true meaning of your life. Get some sort of daily exercise: walk, dance, get those workouts! Don’t harp on bad feelings: release those and talk with others as needed to clear up those issues. Seek harmony with those closest to you.

Have breakfast and dinner with your family. Make those times sacred. If you can’t do both, do at least one together daily. Read as often as you can. Don’t just veg out in front of the television, read for at least a brief time-frame. Observe and enjoy nature around you. Each season has its own beauty. Catch a sunrise and sunset on occasion.

Take time to catch up with someone. Call, write, or visit as you can. Don’t be isolated continually or just doing work and home. Hug and kiss ones in your family. Tell them you love them. Make the most of your daily opportunities. Get involved within your sphere of influence. Make a contribution to the world.

For great health benefits, take co-q10 daily. Increased energy, weight loss help, cell protection, cardiovascular health, neurological health, and an improved metabolism, are some of the benefits you could be receiving.

Boost Your Brain- Part 3

In many of the tests that were run on how to keep ones brain strong, it was unanimous that we need to challenge ourselves; exercise our brains to be regularly active, not idle. The people who didn’t smoke, that exercised, worked or volunteered, lived with at least one other, and were educated with at least a high school education,plus who limited their alcohol intake, were more likely to have no decline in mental performance.

Living an active lifestyle, not being a couch potato, is your best chance for staying sharp. Some helpful activities for brain boosting, as summed up by the AARP article in their March/ April issue are to walk and talk with a partner, to vary your regular routine, trying new things, and to be a lifelong learner. Mark Twain had said that life was his classroom! Also play some games that challenge yourself; do crossword puzzles too. Get a pet to walk with or to enjoy. Take time to de-stress where you can focus your mind and relax. Find a way to reduce your stress level. Use your imagination: think like a child at times, and laugh often. Visit new websites. Socialize at parties; don’t be a loaner. Get active in a good church then meet new people there.

Talk with your doctor regularly. Guard your health. Eat right/ healthy. Be on a heart healthy diet, but occasionally treat yourself to a special meal or dessert. Beware of gimmicks that are out on the market that tell how you can build brainpower. If you do some of the things we talked about, you should notice a difference.

Keep fit with Landice Treadmills. Exercise and fitness done regularly will help your overall health, brainpower, and weight control.

Boost Your Brain- part 2

Mental decline at age 50, is not a given. Your brain can even get stronger with age! Accumulated knowledge and expert skills should increase as you get older. Also, ones don’t dwell as much on negative thoughts as they age, per a Duke University study.

From a study done at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, in California, the researchers found that it is possible for adult human brains to grow new cells. The more physical and mental exercise you get, the more brain cells you grow, the longer they survive, and the better they connect with other nerve cells. Exercise and fitness, such as brisk walking for 40 minutes four times per week, increases blood flow to the brain; even areas that can grow new cells.

Movement is crucial to brain health. Also, paying attention to what you are doing is helpful. Stay focused! Many believe in challenging your brain more with things like crossword puzzles. Also, practice makes for a better brain speed. Improve on response times where you can.

Even a vitamin deficiency, such as a need for more vitamin B, can hamper your brain function, recall, plus other health related problems. For years I have been taking Purity Products nutritive vitamins and supplements, which have been very helpful.

In an AARP article in March, they stated that with a few easy changes, you can stay at your sharpest. That is something we each want! How does ones brain continue to function efficiently despite the changes that occur as one ages? Many researchers called this ” cognitive reserve”; the combination of a person’s innate abilities and the additional brainpower that comes from challenging the mind.

“Studies have shown that diverse, mentally stimulating tasks result in more brain cells, more robust connections among those cells, plus a greater ability to bypass age- or disease- related trouble spots in the brain. The more you work your mind, the greater your cognitive researve.  And the greater your reserve, the greater your ability to withstand the inevitable challenges of aging.”

Recent discoveries are offering new hope with guidance for people who want to maintain peak brain performance. We will conclude our blog tomorrow, so come back at 8am or later to read on.  Get some awesome Maqui Berry today, for increased stamina, strength, and health.

Foods That Aren’t Healthy Choices

Thursday, February 11, 2010

Every day we are faced with choices that can be god or bad. What we eat does matter, and can affect your weight, health, and mood. In the Nutrician Action Health Leeter, they listed a few foods that are good to avoid, or consume less often. Many more could be added to their short list, but at least these will be a start in what you don’t want to build your eating selections around.

Marie Callendar’s Chicken Pot Pie proclaims that it has 520 calories and 12 grams of fat in their small pie. That is actually the calories and fat in only half of that pie, because it states it has two servings! Progresso’s regular Traditional Vegetable Classics are very high in salt/ sodium. Try their reduced sodium selections, which are very good.

A top ice cream, Haagen Dazs, is very high in calories, with around 300 for a half cup serving. The whole pint is at least four servings, so at least 1200 calories, depending on which flavor you choose. A favorite restaurant of many, The Cheesecake Factory, has their Outrageous Chocolate Cake, with layers of chocolate, brownie, and coconut pecan filling. That tasty monster has 1550 calories, 32 teaspoons of sugar, and 43 grams of saturated fat. That is equivalent to three McDonalds quarter pounders, for just desert!

Tomorrow we will finish with a few more ‘ not so good for you’ foods, so plan to stop back. Get fit from more exercise and fitness. We just love the Valeo Exercise Balls plus Valeo Medicine Balls and recommend them for adding some fun to your daily workouts.
