When it comes to Fitness, and the challenge to get your body in better physical condition, it can be a bit of a task. Many of us lead such busy lives, and often our physical health is put on the back burner. The majority of Adults lack a daily, or weekly or even a monthly exercise routine. Another factor that plays a big part in how healthy we are, is of course, what we eat. The road to navigating our bodies to better health doesn’t have to feel insurmountable, if we keep it simple. Today, this is going to be a short lesson for people are already working out. People who are a little bit more advanced than a beginner. Perfect for indivuals who have a gym membership, but are lost when it come to lifting weights.
The movements are basic, and you should already have a general knowledge of how to perform them safely.

Hollywood Film Producer and Director Blake Edwards directed a movie in 1979, called “10”. This romantic comedy starred, Actor Dudley Moore who played a middle-age man, who was captured by a stranger’s beauty. This beauty was Bo Derek. She was so beautiful, on a scale of 1-10, she was a “10”. Now, this is a Hollywood story, and when this box office hit played, the Actress Bo Derek was only 18 years old. Well, it easy to have firm skin, and be beautiful, when you are only 18 years old.

Bo Derek, was born in 1956, in my opinion, is still a “10”, She maintains her looks by maintaining a vegetarian diet, and rides horses everyday on her ranch in California. I certainly do not consider myself a “10”, but I do get complimented quite often. I secretly admit to myself that I believe I owe some of my beauty to genetics and nature.

My favorite author, Vincent Van Gogh once said, “If you truly love nature, then you will find beauty everywhere”. I would add, If you truly love nature, nature will love you. I truly love nature. A hike through a park or a nature trail. Getting out in the flower garden, or swimming at the beach, all play a big part in our beauty. Timeless beauty, Bo Derek takes advantage of nature.

I do not have horses like Bo Derek does, but I put together my top 5 simple and more practical things that anyone can do. It is a combination of nutrition and nature.

1. Take advantage of the free stuff. The sunshine, water, and the fresh air that we breathe. I do yoga outside in the sun. I take lots of deep breaths to get plenty of oxygen in my lungs.

2. Water, flush, and fiber. We learn in elementary school that up to 70% of our bodies is made up of water. This means that our bodies love water, we need water, our bodies thirst for water. I’m always amazed when people tell me that they do not drink any water at all, all day. A great way to flush out toxins is to drink lots of water and green tea. Green tea has poly phenols. These anti-oxidants found in green tea possess anti-inflammatory properties. It can even improve the appearance in your face and skin. When I drink green tea, it also seems to curve my appetite.

3. It is good practice to introduce trace minerals into your diet. One stand out nutrient is selenium. I eat one average size Brazil nut a day. You only need about 70 micro grams of selenium daily. Experts say that this will help delay the age-related break-down of the skins muscles and cells.

4. Weight-lifting is not just for the younger crowd. Gerontologist that study aging have discovered muscles built after the age of 40 and 50 help keep bones strong. In addition, building muscle after the age of 40, can help your self-esteem. The better you look, the better you feel.

5. Enjoy life and smile. By keeping a positive attitude, I have found makes the day brighter. So, get out into the sunshine, drink water, eats some nuts, lift some light weights, and enjoy.

Walking is a totally free and very easy exercise to do. It can be done almost everywhere, at anytime. Walking daily seems like a little thing to do, but the benefits are huge. It’s not only effective way to lower your weight, it improves your overall health. People who are physically active their entire life are less prone to certain diseases like dementia and or Alzheimer’s, because walking adds more volume to the hippocampus part of the brain. The part that is responsible to verbal memory and learning. By walking for just 30 minutes a day can help avoid serious conditions down the road like, heart disease, high blood pressure, cholesterol levels. Better muscle tone and with loss are also achievable. That means you will look better. The National Arthritis Foundation has found that walking can help reduce pain, stiffness, and inflammation in the joints. Building strong bones will also help to prevent osteoporosis and reduce bone loss. Here are a few other benefits of walking: It has a Brain-boosting effect, improves eyesight, improves digestion, a calmer mind, increases oxygen flow in the bloodstream and helps eliminate toxins and waste. Now that it’s spring, get out there folks, walk everyday and extend your life!!

I consult with people all of the time that tell me that no matter what they do,  they simply can not lose weight. They list the diets they have tried, and all of the exercise regimens they have done. Nothing seems to work. In my own experiences, Here are 4 factors to consider about our Digestive System, that could play a role in your attempts tho lose weight. Plus, they could most certainly hamper your progress.. # 1. Our Digestive System is a group of organs working together to convert food into energy and feed the body.. If you are consuming large amounts of food preservatives, our systems are not designed to fully breakdown foods that are processed with preservatives. This includes fast foods, boxed foods,  cured meats and can foods. A good idea is to eat digestive enzymes like amylase, bromelain, before every meal. #2. Candida is yeast that lives in our digestive tract. Sugar feeds candida. Taking Probiotics is adding good bacteria, that will help your system. #3. Over-Eating. Excess foods that is not digested, will turn into fat. Period.
#4. EGCG- Epigallocatechin gallate -Green Tea. I know you have heard this so many times, but it is true. EGCG, the most abundant catechin in tea, is a polyphenol under basic research for its potential to affect human health and disease. Green Tea extract helps to digest foods. It’s a good practice to drink before exercise and at night before bed. By following these basic practices will get you started on the road to a more efficient digestive system, that will lead to you shedding some pounds and feeling better.
