To Your Health
Previously we have discussed adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet, how organic is better than non-organic and how removing MSG is important for your brain health. Last time we discussed corn and corn products and why they are not a good addition to your diet.
This week we move on to Exercise. Exercise can be a hard to begin. We suggest taking things slowly, not "No Pain No Gain." Pain is not always a good thing. Adding exercise can be as simple as taking the stairs when you can, parking farther from the door and walking a bit further or actually taking on a work-out program. Adding a little at a time helps your body adjust. If you are overweight or have major health issues jumping in to an exerting exercise program can be dangerous. Please consult your doctor before beginning any thing new. You know your body and what you can deal with but sometimes we need guidance. As we mentioned with diet, start small and add to your successes as you get used to the changes.
One of the reasons we exercise is to help move the blood from our legs and feet via veins back to the heart. Also, since the lymphatic system does not have a pump it has no way to circulate the fluid and therefore it is all done by muscular contraction through exercise. Your health simply will not change for the better without exercise.
The changes in diet can help you with exercise as well. With better nutrition you should have more energy and less pain which will help you feel like walking a little further or pushing a bit harder.
The New Year is sneaking up and now is a great time to decide to begin making changes toward better health. Taking things one step at a time is the easiest way to get healthy but you have to make the choice.
