Mental Benefits of the Balance Board

With the Balance or Wobble Board being brought into the limelight in the mid 70's all eyes were focused on the physical aspect of how it could improve your balance for surfing. Quickly everyone realized that using the wobble board could not just improve your balance but have a positive effect on many of your fine motor skills. Somewhere down the road new findings were brought to light about the psychological benefits from balance training.

Fitness on a Budget

Since about 2006 Boomer Fitness has been on the rise. Many people who have reached the 50 plus years have taken steps to become healthier. What the is the deciding factors in so many people moving towards this health trend, well only an in-depth survey can tell.

Budget conscious people like to be fit too. These people will shop carefully for workout or just cut the sleeves off some shirts and dig up some kind of shorts. I will says this, some fitness clubs can be very cynical of other peoples dress code so if you're trying out one of these places and everyone has the latest gear plus hair and you feel not welcome then adios amigo, go find another club. Workouts can be tough to get to some nights so no need to put up with attitude.

Some employers may offer incentives for group fitness which makes it more affordable. Don't kid yourself with the rising cost of benefits, if they can improve their workforces health it has a direct payback for lower cost on their health premium. Group instruction has a lot to offer for those new to fitness and are fairly shy. Listen if you feel self-conscious already then walking into a health club isn't on the top of your lists for fun things to do. Since most people don't want to stand out then meeting with a few friends or acquaintances to be lead through some workouts can be the best thing for you.

There are also outdoor fitness groups which are a good way to start and definitely have better scenery. This is where a good instructor can take you through some great workouts and keep things interesting at the same time. Running on a treadmill can be ok but running out doors is way more interesting and you'll run farther because it's usually through a park trail and there is more incentive to finish with others.

It also helps when it comes to learning some better nutritional habits. We are creatures of that just said and food is one of the biggest and most misunderstood as we tend to shop for the same foods week after week without knowing why. Then again many say that the kids won't like it so they don't buy it. If you're on a budget then shopping for healthy food with a friend or two sharing recipes lets you experiment a bit more and be creative. It's often said that eating healthy is more expensive yet I disagree because you walk down a grocery aisles filled with bags of $3.00 potato chips and soda for $2.00 can add up quickly. Take that same money through a vegetable aisle and see what you can do. See here is where some most people need help because there are many really good fruits and veggies that we never try due to lack of knowledge. Trying things with a few friends may open the doors to some new tastes and eating healthy could be easier than you thought.

Skipping for Exercise

Exercise? Awww – just Skip it!

SEPTEMBER 18, 2010

by coachdougbowers

OK – I’ve gotten a few comments about the workouts being too tricky, complicated or advanced. So I’m going back to “Old School” Back to the days when we thought ‘skipping’ was for girls. Well – as Fire Marshal Bill would say…” lemme tell ya sumptin’ !”  Today – skipping aint’ for no sissy’s. It’s been rediscovered as one of the best high impact, high intensity and calorie burning exercises you can do. As a comparison – an average 150 pound person, in ten minutes of skipping burns about 125 calories. To get a comparable rate you would have to walk briskly for 25 minutes, swim (non-stop) for 15 minutes or ride a stationary bike for 16 minutes. So turn up the juice and do some speed skipping, flip some tricks and that calorie burning will naturally increase..............

Juicing - Just for the Health of it.

Hello out there! Let's get Juiced!

OK - by now most of us have figured out that nutrition is a vital part of staying healthy. We need Vitamins and minerals and enzymes. According to all the authorities out there - and I thank all of them for their endless research and constant influx of information - we have to eat anywhere between 3 to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. It depends on your age, sex and how active you are. The Canada food guide says I ( male - very active - slightly over the age of 19  ) should be eating 7 servings of veggies and 7 servings of fruits per day. Then I have to eat grains, meats and other foods. That's a lot of chewing!! It's really tough to eat enough raw fruits and vegetables to properly nourish your body. Just the bulk of the food is one thing, then with todays lifestyle, everyone is usually so busy hustling around to make money ( that they will eventually spend trying to regain their health! ) that they don't have time to eat properly. Thus the beauty of juicing.

To make things easier and more efficient - Juicing, be it  fruit juicing or vegetable juicing,  is an excellent way to get the good stuff in your body. ( those vitamins, minerals and enzymes we all need... remember?). Juicing enables your body to assimilate the many nutrients found in food.

Technical Talk Alert!!

Enzymes are biological catalysts or assistants. Enzymes consist of various types of proteins that work to drive the chemical reaction required for a specific action or nutrient. Enzymes can either launch a reaction or speed it up. They are needed for the proper digestion of your food. Enzymes are found in plant foods, such as fruits and veggies and - here's the "aha!" part -  they are destroyed when these foods are cooked. That's why fresh raw produce should constitute at least half of your diet.

OK - back to my regularly scheduled info. Chances are most of you aren't eating enough raw foods in your diet. The odd salad maybe- or an apple and banana now and again. SORRY - not good enough. Juicing is not meant to be a replacement for your foods - you still need the fiber - but it's one of the best and easiest ways to help you get the nutrition you need. Period.

Mix and match your juicing and you can probably do away with some of the supplements you are taking. Juicing should be a part of a comprehensive approach to overall wellness. As mentioned it's a great way to help your body get the proper nutrition needed and it's also been proven to assist in the recovery of many different discomforts and ailments,boost your immune system, lose weight and even help you to detox.

Juicing Tips

• Whenever you can, use organic, unsprayed foods. If that's not available wash or peel.
• The skins of oranges and grapefruits contain a small quantity of toxin so shouldn't be consumed in large quantities. Use caution when leaving on the peels - many countries still use heavy pesticides. Wash the peels thoroughly.
• Pits - peach and  plum etc. must be removed. Seeds are generally OK but apple seeds contain a small amount of cyanide. Best not to juice them. ( though I've eaten millions!)
• Except for carrot and rhubarb greens, use the stems and leaves along with the fruits and vegetables.
• It's best to make the juice right before you drink it. Apparently it loses some of it's nutrition within the first 30 minutes.

MOST  IMPORTANT  TIP  FOR  JUICING !!

Be sure - and I'm speaking from recent experience here - be doubly sure to have the juicer completely assembled. If you are distracted, kind of like I was ( I think my wife Thai, was asking me something or the phone rang...or something)  and the back of the juicer is still in another part of the cupboard...well the results can be rather messy. Who knew carrot pulp could fly all the way up to the ceiling?! So just make sure everything is properly assembled before you start. Ahem - thank you - that's all.

From here on I'll just add juicing recipes. Some of them will be for something specific and some will be just a delicious recipe that I like. Comments will be added where I think necessary .

My Favorite - The Carrot Zinger

• 4-5 carrots ( greens removed)
• 1/2 in.  slice of ginger ( personally I use a piece about the size of my thumb...love the kick it gives!
• 1/2 apple seeded ( I prefer Gala  for juicing - each to his/her own however)

This is a really refreshing juice. It's also considered a great drink to help with Cholesterol issues. Adjust the ginger to your taste as it only takes a little to get the flavor through.

Since we are on the topic of Cholesterol - here's another great Juice Recipe I call the...

Help Lower Your Cholesterol Juice

(advice for a better name is most welcome!)

Handful of Parsley

Handful of Spinach

1 Garlic clove

4 carrots ( greens removed)

a dash ( or two!) of Tabasco sauce - best add the tabasco after juicing the other ingredients.

Juice - drink and enjoy itht the taste and the benefits.

Until next time...Happy juicing - stay well

How many calories do you need to burn each day

As a friend of mine said "Do the Math"
Calories in have to at least equal Calories out.
Check out the Youtube link   
We can read all the books and watch all the videos.
You can buy every fancy promotion products and snap up every diet fad.
The weight loss industry is a 10 billion dollars event and saddled with more chuck wagon side show Bobs
than you can count. We are consumed with the quick and easy and this industry is one of the leading
soap opera's on how to lose "X" pounds in record time.
They fail to mention about those who gain is all back.
Well back to my friend.
This is a gentlemen who now runs marathons among other sporting activities.
Who used to be overweight and as a fire fighter was going to calls of heart attache victims who looked
just like him.
Reality struck as he realized they could be coming to his house someday so he made some simple changes.
It was in our conversation that he said "Calories in have to equal calories out"
So he made simple adjustments in his eating habits.
Adjustments he could live with and then more changes as his nutrition knowledge improved.
These adjustments have now become habits.
Habits make your life.

Tobri

Well it's finally here:
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about Tobri.
What is Tobri?
You know Tobri the new multifunction social site founded by Ken McArthur and a fantastic supporting crew.
What can we do with it?
Just about anything.
You can blog, post video's , join any number of groups, make all types of social connections from around the world.
They have games and polls, opportunities for joint ventures and many other types of partnerships and like other sites it's free.
So what's so different from say Facebook.
Well there is certainly a free side but what they also have is a business side that you can become part of by becoming a member.
Yes you can purchase a membership with Tobri and this allows you promote your business opportunities and advertise on the site.
They have multiple ways to search for friends and business's , you can set up your own group or poll and many other methods that can help you meet and help other people.
Like many online sites we have support group s for just about anything you want to do or accomplish. You will have the chance to be part of social groups from all over the world or lead one if you so choose. This is just the beginning as many of us will become the foundation of this new venture. With  the chance to start at the beginning is extremely tempting and these chances don't happen everyday. Whether it is fitness advice or social group functions we have it all at tobri.
Well you owe it to yourself to at least check the site out as there is tons of things to do.

Maybe your PH balance is out of wack and it's causing you lots of problems.
