Stay Healthy, Stay Well

These days it’s difficult to stay on a healthy wellness program. If you’re in college, the “freshman 15” can creep up on you without your even knowing it. When you go home to visit your family, they may notice a slightly heavier son or daughter and kindly say things like “looks like you’re getting enough to eat” or “too busy to exercise?” You may not think you’re doing anything differently, but when you’re stressed with papers and mid-terms, you may not pay attention to what you’re eating. A good health and wellness plan includes 30 minutes of aerobics or cardio-vascular exercises like brisk walking, jogging, swimming, etc. along with 3 days of resistance exercises with weights or resistance bands and a sensible diet. You CAN get a sensible diet in the school cafeteria…you just need to look for healthy foods. 5 servings of fruit and vegetables are required each day. Sure a burrito sounds better, and once in a while is fine. Healthy foods keep your mind moving and help keep your metabolism up.

Spring Your Health into Summer!

Now that spring is here and winter is over, it's time to take inventory of your health and wellness. Have you started the weight loss plan you resolved to start in January? Or how is your exercise plan going? Now is the time to kick it into high gear if you want to look good for summer. The plan is simple. Eat less and exercise more! This is easier said than done. How many diets have you tried that failed? How many times have you gone to the gym this year? Go out for a walk? Use one half of your lunch hour walking around your work at a brisk pace. Do this every day and you'll see results.

There are some very good health and wellness products available here. Drinking green tea has many health benefits. University of Purdue researchers recently concluded that a compound in green tea inhibits the growth of cancer cells. There is also research indicating that drinking green tea lowers total cholesterol levels, as well as improving the ratio of good (HDL) cholesterol to bad (LDL) cholesterol.

If losing weight is your goal this year, especially for summer, try this great option. Although somewhat like SlimFast, it's much more powerful and natural. In addition, there's a formula that helps burn fat off while you are dieting and exercising. This product is non-ephedra and provides energy and appetite suppressant effects for maximum benefits.

Now is the time to jump start your health goals. Get ready for summer! I'm looking forward to a fun and healthy one.
