Start Now

Have you ever heard the saying The Past is History, The Future is a Mystery, so all we have is the Present?
Well, the present is the gift that we give to ourselves. Now is the time to start changing our nutrition and exercise habits to put us back on the path to a healthier lifestyle.

No more procrastination and telling ourselves we will start next ______ fill in the blank. We wait until New Years to make those weight loss resolutions and by Summer we give it up as a lost cause.

If we are ever going to reach that or achieve anything we set out to do we have to do things differently. We can’t do the same things and expect different results. That means it’s time to start now to begin sculpting the body we visualize for ourselves. It might help to write it down and post it where it can be seen daily.

I now have a set of things I need to do every day like start with a healthy breakfast before I go out for a walk. My plan is to lose on average 2 pounds a week for 3 months.

I found a great way to lose fat and weight. Starter 2 is what I have chosen to help get me going. When I hit that mid morning or afternoon hunger, this will help get me through it until I have changed my eating habits forever.

I got it at SupplementsToGo.com at wholesale prices plus 5% off with the coupon code vip5off . If you are ready to do the same I recommend you give it a try yourself.

Statins May Lower Your Energy Along With Cholesterol

Here’s an FYI that I found interesting. I just watched a segment on ABC news about a new study that said that statins like Lipitor may also drain certain people of energy. That does not mean you should quit taking your meds though.

If you are taking a statin to help lower your cholesterol and also feel tired and achy, or even have trouble remembering things, the best course of action is to talk to your doctor about it. Ask them about a CPK test, if a lower dose may work as well, or maybe even change brands.

This segment also mentioned some steps you could take on your own like taking Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) which is a powerful antioxidant. It helps the body convert food to energy, and its antioxidant ability protects us from free radical damage, similar to that of vitamin E. Co–Q10 is present in almonds, ocean salmon, sardines, spinach and certain meats.

If you choose to supplement your intake, research has shown that "soft gel" versions of CoQ10 supplements work better than dry powdered versions.

One thing they said to avoid if you have the symptoms is Grapefruit, which actually increases the statin levels in your system.

On the good side was Dark Chocolate. It has a long history of being noted for its antioxidant benefits, but a new study conducted by the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center pointed out a new benefit to cardiovascular health. This recent study reported that Hershey’s Extra Dark Chocolate has a positive impact on blood pressure and blood vessel function. The rich dark chocolate is comprised of 60 percent cacao.

Cacao or the cocoa plant is a small evergreen tree. Its seeds are used to make cocoa and chocolate. Studies have shown heart benefits surrounding cacao, including increased blood flow, less platelet stickiness and clotting, improved LDL cholesterol, and lower blood pressure. Doctors say these benefits are the result of the cocoa’s antioxidant chemicals known as flavonoids, which seem to prevent both cell and damage and inflammation.

Another thing you can do for yourself is to get more quality sleep time. The recommendations included going to bed before midnight and allowing yourself at least 7.5 hours to rejuvenate your body. One rule of thjumb to remember is go to bed when it’s dark and get up when it’s light out.

If you would like to watch it for yourself just google statins and low energy.

Something For Women That Burns Calories And Body Fat

If you are a woman looking to lose some weight before the end of the year, and want something designed with you in mind, without being watered down to kick start your program you will be interested in this short article.

Hydroxycut Max is designed exclusively for women who want fast results and won't settle for anything but the most powerful fat-burning formula. It is a strong weight loss compilation of ingredients that helps burn calories quickly along with body fat at the same time. Hydroxycut Max also increases energy strong enough that you can actually feel it the first time you try it.

Hydroxycut Max Benefits
- Amplifies Women's Key Fat-burning Hormone
- Burns Calories and Bodyfat
- So Strong You Can Feel It


Many times when I hear that a weight loss product is designed specifically for women I am skeptical that it is watered down, but this one packs a kick. Combined with some of the other reviews of fat burners I have read Hydroxycut Max does help women burn calories and body fat at the same time. There is also an increase of energy for many who use it.

Combined with diet and exercise, Hydroxycut Max can help you achieve extreme results with a powerful combination of ingredients. A clinical study showed that people using one of the key ingredients in Hydroxycut Max (Cissus quadrangularis) lost an average of 10.56 pounds in 6 weeks, while those taking a placebo actually gained an average of 2.64 pounds. Another ingredient in Hydroxycut Max amplifies your key fat-burning hormone, and combined it has a reputation as one of the most extreme women's fat burner available.


MuscleTech developed Hydroxycut Max. They had doctors put together this formula to trigger fat burning and weight loss, using Rapid-Release Liquid-Caps, so it can act as fast as 5times what a different diet pill does. The Hydroxycut Max ingredients work in unison with other fat-burning components, to deliver weight-loss results.

Because hydroxycut max is a strong product you do not have to combine it with other weight loss supplements, or increase the recommended serving size. The key ingredients in the formula are at the precise amounts that have been proven effective in research studies, so taking more will not get you any closer to the body you want.

The Number One Sport…Golf

Golf just may be the best sport to keep fit. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it! You Golfers know what I am saying already.

And I know others of you may be thinking, "Are You Nuts? That is a Lazy persons sport, how could it possibly be the perfect sport?"

Well, allow me to persuade you and maybe you will believe. There are other sports, like football and basketball, which obviously require lots of energy, strength, and endurance. Golf, on the other hand, does not require as much of those.

I know Golfers use Carts to drive around in, or maybe even a caddy to carry the clubs, and may not really walk any farther than to the next tee, sipping on their favorite beverage and a snack, which does not sound like an extensive cardio session to maintain peak fitness levels…but on the other hand driving a cart or having a caddy, and even the snacks and beverages are choices the golfer makes.

OK maybe it is the norm, but no one forces us to make those choices. If I am motivated I can easily turn golf into something much more advantageous to my fitness goals. First off I can make a choice to carry my own clubs. Humping around my bag around the course cannot help but build strength and challenges my cardio and endurance abilities. If I at least walk the front nine, instead of automatically jumping into the cart, I am ahead of the game. I can even drag out the pull cart, if it is a longer course. Nine or eighteen holes add up quickly. In fact, if you walk the entire course for one round of golf, you will be walking as much as four miles. Or, the way I play, it may be closer to five?!.

An article in the Harvard Men's Health Watch, stated that if you walk 18 holes, three to five times a week, you'll get an optimal amount of endurance exercise for your heart. If you pull your clubs or carry them, you'll burn more calories per round, and benefit even more."
Another point to consider as you age, is that golf can be especially helpful for the elderly and people with heart problems. A study published in a 2004 issue of Aging Clinical and Experimental Research was designed to determine how much time was spent at different exercise levels for male golfers, in relation to age, while walking a typical 18-hole golf course.
The researchers concluded that walking an 18-hole golf course is equal to moderate and high exercise intensity for the elderly, mainly low to moderate for middle-aged men, and low for younger men.

Another study, in the American Journal of Medicine, looked at the effects of regularly walking a golf course on various health and fitness indicators in middle-aged men. For this study, healthy male golfers aged 48 to 64 years who had been largely inactive during the 7 months leading up to the study were compared with age-matched, similarly sedentary controls. The study participants in the intervention group were encouraged to play golf two to three times a week over a 20-week period.

At the end of the study, it also concluded that, "Regular walking had many positive effects on the health and fitness of sedentary middle-aged men. Walking during a golf game is characterized by high adherence and low risk of injury and is therefore a good form of health enhancing physical activity."

Another good thing about golf: While it is a low impact sport, it (unlike swimming or other water exercise) requires lifting the clubs. This gives you the double bonus of being relatively easy on the joints while still working to build or preserve bone density (which is what helps keep our bones strong and more resistant to fractures). Golf doesn't require more extreme measures such as running, jumping, diving, tackling, etc. Thus, as long as you are using correct form and taking the proper precautions, you have a relatively low risk of sport-related injury.

So golf can be a perfect sport, and not just physically. When I play golf, I mainly compete against myself. Even when I am playing against other golfers, I am trying to beat my last score or the best score on that hole. Competing with myself helps motivate me to always do my best in everything I do. Also, with golf, I am outside, getting fresh air, and communing with nature. Golf courses are beautiful places, with rolling green spaces as far as the eyes can see and beautiful tree lines. It can be a very peaceful place.

And while many parts of golf can be peaceful, it can also be a very stimulating and social endeavor. There are always business decisions that get made, or issues resolved on the course. It not only provides a great opportunity for networking with your peers, it also could become a great family event. Moms, dads, siblings, grandparents and even the kids can all get in the game. What we have here is a low impact, weight training, endurance building, outdoor way to increase physical activity and family time all at the same time. Does it get any better than that? I think not!

And although golf can be very beneficial to your health, here are some tips to minimize risk of injuries:

- A very important tip: Stretch daily. Make sure to target the areas that are more golf specific, like the back, shoulders, and arms, and waist.

- Warm up for 10-15 minutes before teeing off.

-Consider taking lessons. When you use correct technique, you are defending yourself from injuries...and of course, learning how to play the game better, instead of working around all the bad habits.

-Make sure you pay attention to your body. If you feel yourself overdoing it, take a break. Switch golf with other activities that work different muscles.

The weather has been great recently and I have a coupon book full of bargains, so this is the perfect time to participate in a "perfect sport". I think I’ll go outside for a walk, in the sun. I’m grabbing the cleats, glove, golf bag, and heading on out to the course.

How much water should I be drinking?

I have had some people ask about how much water is enough so the quick answer is, Government guidelines say 8 glasses of water a day, but your height, weight and the size of the glass all make a difference.

Most people urinate an average of 1.5 liter a day and you lose another liter of liquid through breathing and sweating.
You get about 20% of your water every day through food, so a general rule is to drink 2 liters of water a day. This is the equivalent to a large bottle of soda, or three and a half pints.

If you're feeling thirsty you're already dehydrated so don't wait until you need a drink, sip small amounts throughout the day to keep yourself hydrated. Factors, such as exercise, weather, illness, or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding all make a difference in how much you need to increase your water intake. The best way to know is to listen to your body.

You can get a certain amount of water from tea, coffee and carbonated drinks but they're all what are called diuretics, which make you go to the bathroom more, as well as increase the amount of water your body uses. They also don't quench your thirst like water does either. That doesn't mean you can't drink them, tea has other health benefits, but it just means that you'll have to drink more water as well.

If you're worried you're not drinking enough, measure how much you're drinking for a few days to see if it's anywhere near the minimum amount. Check how often you go to the bathroom, and your urine color. If it's pale and clear then you're drinking a healthy amount. If it's dark yellow and cloudy you might be dehydrated or not drinking enough.

I hope this helps.

Naturally, Water is Healthy for Your Body!

Who hasn't heard that you should drink more water. I certainly have, but I also have a hard time getting through a recommended amount every day. I realize that almost two thirds of my body is made up of water, and if I don’t replenish what I lose I start to suffer.

Government guidelines say we should drink at least eight glasses a day and some nutritionists claim that up to 80% of us are walking around dehydrated! This lack of fluid could affect your health, your weight and even your job so here is why you need it to stay healthy.

Water helps with weight loss.

Water naturally reduces your appetite. Many people confuse feeling thirsty with feeling hungry so they eat when their body wants them to drink something. When you're dehydrated, fat cells become harder to break down and so if you’re trying to diet it’s a lot harder if you don't drink very much.

Water stops headaches and dizziness.

Don't reach for the aspirin right away, your headache could be a symptom of being dehydrated so drinking water should make it go away. Even tension headaches and dizziness, which can be brought on by fatigue can be cured or helped by drinking water. Fatigue is also a sign of dehydration.

Water clears your skin.

Yes drinking more water can be good for clear skin and it can also help the symptoms of acne. If you're skin is dry, drinking water will give it more moisture, and flush toxins out of your body, along with anything else that shouldn't be there, like dirt and bacteria.

It fights infections.

Drinking water can help fight infections all over your body, not only because it flushes out toxins but because when you're dehydrated you're more likely to catch a bug. This is especially true for getting rid of and preventing urine infections and kidney stones. Being well hydrated is also great for allergies and colds because it clears the airways. Even cold sores can be reduced by drinking more water because they tend to pop up in places where your skin is particularly dry.

It keeps you regular.

If you suffer from constipation or piles you may have been told to increase how much fiber you eat. This is definitely one way of getting rid of the problem but you'll need to drink more water for the fiber to work properly. Otherwise it could have the opposite effect and make things worse.

It makes you exercise better.

We all know to replace the fluids you lose when you sweat with water, but what might not be obvious is that your body works better and harder during your workout if you drink water.

It improves concentration.

Our brain is made of around 85% water, so if you get dehydrated it can affect your concentration and even your short-term memory. Where was I? Oh yeah, water has a particularly strong effect on your math skills, because lack of water causes your brain's energy levels to decrease.

It boosts your energy.

In the same way that not drinking enough water makes your brain slow down it has the same effect on your body.
Assuming your muscles are around 75% water, your bones are about 22% and your blood is about 83% water. If you're dehydrated, all these body parts don't work as well as they should, and as a result, you lack energy and feel tired or lethargic.

It supports your heart.

Your heart is the hardest working muscle in your body, and needs a lot of water to keep it going efficiently. When you get dehydrated your blood gets thicker, and the heart has to work even harder. And if your heart is weak it can lead to more serious heart problems later in life. Personally I help this along daily with a 81 mg. aspirin each morning.
