Water Is The Most Important Nutrient

Water makes up about 60-70% of your body weight. Water helps to control the temprature of the body and serves a vehicles for moving nutrients to the different parts of the body. Fluid imbalance can lead to several problems in the body including weight gain.

Water Tips

Drink plenty of water. You body needs a lot of water. Water is not just way to flush out toxin but if you have more water in your body you will generally feel healthier and fitter. This will discourage any tendency to gorge. The best thing about water is that is has no calories at all.

Start your day with a glass of water. Drink a glass of cool water first thing in the morning. It is a wonderful way to start your day and you only need a lesser quantity of your breakfast after that.

Drink a glass of water before you start the meal. Water naturally needs some space so that you feel fuller without actually having to stuff yourself.

Have another glass of water while you are having the meal. Again this is another way of making yourself full so that you can actually rise from the table eating less but feeling full just the same. Instead of drinking it one gulp, take sips after each morsel. It will help the food to settle faster so that you get that feeling that you are full faster.

Hot Fitness Tip of the Week
Not sleeping enough seems to be associated with metabolic changes that can lead to overeating and obesity. Sleeping too little can also contribute to weight gain by putting undue stress on the body. The body sees sleep deprivation as a state of stress; cortisol is the stress hormone. Cortisol causes, in turn, the release of insulin and insulin is a storage hormone that promotes fat storage. On the other hand, people who exercise spend more time in deep sleep rather than in light sleep; this has been measured. Sleep is a sign of a balanced lifestyle, including exercise and diet. And it's important to sleep a sufficient amount as a part of a balanced lifestyle that would promote good health.
Words of Inspiration
Be master of Your destiny: When Jim Valvano was 17 years old he took out a simple white index card and wrote down all of his professional aspirations. He would play basketball in high school and college, become an assistant basketball coach, then a head coach, achieve a victory in Madison Square Garden, and finally cut down the nets after winning a National Championship. Jim's ability to see his place in the world with such clarity was truly a gift. This simple card, coupled with a strong belief that he could control his fate, would guide the next ten years of his life. At the age of 36, Jim could take out his tattered index card and cross out every single dream. He was indeed the master of his destiny. Along the way, he adopted a personal philosophy for living that enabled an ordinary man to accomplish the extraordinary. Jim believed that enthusiasm for life, dreaming big, and working hard were the elements that allowed him to be successful. There is no doubt that Jim's tenacity, passion, and vision played key roles in his rise to the top. However, listen to any individual recount a personal memory of Jim and nothing from the above list of accomplishments would be mentioned. Instead, you would hear of the qualities that made Jim Valvano unforgettable.

Yoga for Managing Insomnia
Yoga for Managing Insomnia: Insomnia is a huge problem in this fast-paced, sugar and caffeine addicted country. But if we can first identify the habits we have that contribute to our sleeplessness and slowly change them, and at the same time add more relaxation and deep breathing to our pre-sleep routine, we will sleep better. Insomnia is one of the most common health complaints, afflicting people of all ages and backgrounds. Difficulty in falling or staying asleep can hinder all aspects of an individual's life. People with sleep problems often experience irritability, tension, helplessness, and depression as well. Unchecked, insomnia can become a debilitating and self-perpetuating cycle. While there are many causes of sleeplessness, anxiety, over work or personal problems is often a strong factor. If you suffer from insomnia, whether often or occasionally, Yoga can help. Through relaxing physical exercise, breathing techniques and complete relaxation, you can promote more regular and restful sleeping patterns without resorting to sleep-inducing drugs. Such drugs interfere with your body's natural sleep cycle and can create psychological dependence and undesirable side effects. Before going to bed, you can do a few gentle stretches to relieve tension and help you relax. Happy baby (Ananda Balasana) is a good choice because it releases the lower back and hips, leaving you feeling looser and more relaxed. Goddess pose (Supta Baddha Konasana), which opens the groins, is another option. You can do both these poses while lying in bed.
