Weight Loss Exercise
By Akanett Web Publishing
A lot of us live our lives like penned animals. Built to move, too often we put ourselves in a cage. We have bodies designed for racing across the savannas, but we live a lifestyle designed for migrating from the bed to the breakfast table; to the car seat; to the office chair; to the restaurant booth; to the living room couch and back to the bed.
It was not always this way. Not long ago in the United States, a man who worked on a farm did the equivalent of 15 miles of jogging every day; and his wife did the equivalent of 7 miles of jogging.
Today, our daily obligations of work and home keep us tied to our chairs, and if we want exercise, we have to seek it out.
In fact, health experts insist that obesity problem is probably caused at least as much by lack of physical activity as by eating too much. Hence, it is important that people need to move around.
However, that does not mean that a lap or two around the old high school track will offset a daily dose of donuts. Exercise alone is not very efficient, experts say. They contend that if you just exercise and do not change your diet, you may be able to prevent weight gain or even lose a few pounds for a while.
Nevertheless, it is not something that you are likely to sustain unless exercise is part of an overall program. The more regularly you exercise, the easier it is to maintain your weight. Here is what to do every day to make sure that you get the exercise you need.
1. Get quality Zzzs.
Make sure that you get adequate sleep. Good sleep habits are conducive to exercise, experts point out. If you feel worn out during the day, you are less likely to get much physical activity during the day.
In addition, there is evidence that people who are tired tend to eat more, using food as a substance for the rest they need.
2. Walk the walk.
It is probably the easiest exercise program of all. In fact, it may be all you ever have to do, according to some professional advices of some health experts.
Gradually build up to at least 30 minutes of brisk walking five times a week. Brisk walks themselves have health and psychological benefits that are well worth the while.
3. Walk the treadmill.
When the weather is bad, you might not feel like going outdoors. But if you have a treadmill in the television room, you can catch up on your favorite shows while you are doing your daily good turn for your weight-maintenance plan.
Most of us watch television anyway, and indoor exercise equipment enables anyone to turn a sedentary activity into a healthy walk.
4. Seize the time.
Excuses aside, lack of time is certainly a limiting factor in most lifestyles. That is why health experts suggest a basic guideline for incorporating exercise into your schedule.
Get as much exercise as you can that feels good without letting it interfere with your work or family life. If you need to, remind yourself that you are preventing many health problems when you prevent weight gain; and keeping your health is a gift to your family as well as yourself.

New Happenings this Week
Recent studies report that yoga improves the actual congruence of joints, undoing (reversing) the wear and tear that is responsible for osteoarthritis. The 206 bones in the human body are living, breathing, changing tissue that requires a steady supply of blood and nutrients and a flow of energy or prana. Yoga postures, besides providing a superior form of weight-bearing exercise that stimulates bones to retain calcium, also help stimulate and distribute the flow of synovial fluid, which lubricates the joints between the bones. Check out this week's article on Top 10 Reasons Why Yoga Builds Better Bone Strength. In fitness, Namita
Hot Fitness Tip of the Week
There are three Simple Diet tips to Build Muscle. Eat better. Eat 1g protein per pound of your bodyweight divided in to 5-6 meals throughout the day. Consume about 10 to 20 grams of protein less than an hour before training to help increase the muscle-building effect of training. This equals to about the same size as 1 or 2 glasses of milk. After your workout, have a whey protein shake. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Whenever possible cook your meals. Its a great way to stay lean and not put additional fat in the wrong areas.
Words of Inspiration
Life is all about choices: Jerry was the kind of guy you love to hate. He was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, ""If I were any better, I would be twins!"" He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had followed him around from restaurant to restaurant. The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his attitude. He was a natural motivator. Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, ""I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?"" Jerry replied, ""Each morning I wake up and say to myself, 'Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.' I choose to be in a good mood. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life."" ""Yeah, right, it's not that easy,"" I protested. ""Yes, it is,"" Jerry said. ""Life is all about choices. When you cut way all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live life."" I reflected on what Jerry said. Soon thereafter, I left the restaurant industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it. Several years later, I heard that Jerry did something you are never supposed to do in a restaurant business: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local trauma center. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body. I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, ""If I were any better, I'd be twins. Wanna see my scars?"" I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. ""The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,"" Jerry replied. ""Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I chose to live."" ""Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?"" I asked. Jerry continued, ""The paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read, 'He's a dead man.' ""I knew I needed to take action."" ""What did you do?"" I asked. ""Well, there was a big, burly nurse shouting questions at me,"" said Jerry. ""She asked if I was allergic to anything. 'Yes,' I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breathe and yelled, 'Bullets!' Over their laughter, I told them. 'I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead."" I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything.

Healthy Recipe
Iced Oranges: Ingredients: 150g/5oz/ 2/3 cup granulated sugar, juice of 1 lemon, 14 medium oranges, 8 fresh bay leaves, to decorate. Instruction: Put the sugar in a heavy-based pan. Add half the lemon juice, and 120ml/ 1/2 cup water. Cook over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil, and boil for 2-3 minutes, until the syrup is clear. Set aside and leave to cool. Slice the tops off eight of the oranges, to make ""hats"". Scoop out the flesh of the oranges, and reserve in a bowl. Put the empty orange shells and ""hats"" on a tray and place in the freezer until needed. Grate the rind of the remaining oranges and add to the syrup. Squeeze the juice from the oranges, and from the reserved flesh. There should be 750ml/3 cups of juice. If your oranges do nor produce enough juice, squeeze another or top up with bought orange juice. Stir the orange juice, the remaining lemon juice and 90ml/6 tbsp water into the syrup. Taste, adding more lemon juice or sugar, if you wish. Pour the mixture into a shallow freezer container and freeze for 3 hours. Tip the mixture into a bowl, and whisk thoroughly to break down the ice crystals. Freeze for 4 hours more, until firm, but not solid. Pack the mixture into the orange shells, mounding it up, and set the ""hats"" on top. Freeze until ready to serve. Just before serving, push a skewer into the tops of the ""hats"" to make a hole and push in a bay leaf.

Article of the Week: Top 10 Reasons Why Yoga Builds Better Bone Strength
Top 10 Reasons Why Yoga Builds Better Bone Strength: The usual forms of weight-bearing high-impact exercise, such as jogging and various other sports, are known to stimulate the cells that build bone. Unfortunately, with the passage of time, such forms of movement often contribute to joint destruction that can result in hip and and knee replacements. Recent studies report that yoga improves the actual congruence of joints, undoing (reversing) the wear and tear that is responsible for osteoarthritis. Non impact, non weight-bearing exercise, such as swimming, won't wear out your joints, but it won't strengthen your bones, either. The good news is that a balanced yoga practice can give you all the positive benefits of weight-bearing exercise without negative wear and tear on the joints! Yoga is the ideal exercise prescription for prevention of osteoporosis, for those already at risk, and for bone regeneration. The 206 bones in the human body are living, breathing, changing tissue that requires a steady supply of blood and nutrients and a flow of energy or prana. Yoga postures, besides providing a superior form of weight-bearing exercise that stimulates bones to retain calcium, also help stimulate and distribute the flow of synovial fluid, which lubricates the joints between the bones. Jogging, dancing, weight lifting, racquet sports and other forms of exercise, while strengthening bones, may cause further imbalance in the muscular system. Conversely, yoga postures balance the muscular system while bones are strengthened. When the muscular system is balanced, the skeletal system is brought back into alignment, reducing the risk of wear-and-tear conditions such as osteoarthritis. Ten Reasons Why Yoga Builds Better Bone Strength at Any Age: 1. In yoga, weight is borne through the entire body. In weight-bearing standing poses, inverted poses and partially-inverted poses like Downward Facing-Dog Pose, active backbends, and various arm balances, weight is systematically applied to the bones in the hands, wrists, arms, upper body, neck and head, and feet and legs. 2. Because yoga postures are learned gradually, the weight applied to the bones increases safely and incrementally, as the student becomes stronger and can hold postures for longer periods.
