Exercising - Good?

Exercising - Good?
The "biggest loser", Charles Atlas, Jack Lalane, Jane Fonda, Richard Simmons, and Judi Sheppard Missett (Jazzercise) all participated in the exercise craze that attempted to mimic the cult of the athlete in the quest for a moderate weight. This has subsequently increased the success of orthopedics, podiatry and chiropractics with no lasting success for the fight against OBESITY. Euripides stated 2400 years ago "Athletes are slaves to their belly, and know not how to live well. In youth they strut about in splendor, the idols of the fans, but when old age comes upon them they are cast aside like worn out coats. Neglecting the old rule of health which prescribes moderation in all things they spend their lives in over-exercising, in over-eating and over sleeping. Hence they seldom live to old age and if they do, they are crippled and liable to all sorts of diseases. They have not health nor have they beauty. Even those who are naturally well proportioned become fat and bloated, their faces are often shapeless and unsightly." We need to avoid this trap and move into understanding how to eat, how to wisely exercise so our precious muscles, tendons and joints are not damaged. We offer this new common sense approach to weight loss for the rest of your life.

WHAT IS ENOUGH

To estimate the amount divide your weight in pounds by 2 and this is roughly the  water intake you need per day.  A 200 pound person would need 100 ounces of water or about 10 ½  8 ounce glasses of water. No wonder overweight people suffer form arthritis because they are ALWAYS dehydrated and the joints erode from use when dehydrated

How can I get my water

1.     Start every day with 8 ounces of water, not coffee

2.     Keep a water bottle in your car to sip on instead of eating something

3.     Add a little flavor to the water; mint, melon, cucumber, lime, lemon and consider Propel Water

4.     Before every normal meal drink an eight ounce glass of water.

5.     End your day with an 8 ounce glass of soothing decaffeinated tea while watching the news or reading or listening to music

This is already 5 glasses not counting #2 and #3

Caffeine drinks like coffee, teas and sodas (diet or regular) dehydrate you and increase your appetite and hasten dehydration.

Avoid caffeine !! other than coffee 1-2 cups per day or 1-2 diet sodas , 8 ounces each drink – NO MORE.

Your will feel better right away and you will lose weight and your lost weight will not come back.
