Exercise Health Tips

It is true that one can exercise at any time of day as long as you're burning those extra calories. However, there are many added benefits to choosing morning time to any other. Even if you manage to fit in just 15 minutes of strenuous exercise, it will help you stay happy and healthy all day. Here are some reasons why exercising first thing after waking up is beneficial.

Morning Exercise Health Tips

☼When you exercise in the morning, you'll find that because of the increased intake of oxygen and circulation of blood in your body, you'll stay energized for the whole day. It will automatically put you in a healthy frame of mind. Whatever other things you may have on your schedule, you will notice that you will be eager and energetic to handle them.
Morning exercise is a great way of waking up your brain, thus helping you to be alert to plan out your daily, weekly, even monthly schedule. It will help you organize your thoughts and make mental lists of what the day holds for you.

☼Exercising in the morning can help reduce stress that has built up due to work, family and other life situations. One of the reasons this is true is because morning time is the quietest and most peaceful time of day - before the daily routine begins. It gives you alone time, time to think and work things out for yourself, without being disturbed. Research has proven that people who exercise in the mornings tend to be the ones most consistent in their fitness regimes and diets. So if you choose morning time for your exercise program, then chances are that you'll stick to the plan for the long term. And that's a good thing!

☼This means that you end up burning calories throughout the day, no matter how often you may choose to eat. However, you still need to take care about what you put into your body. Exercising goes hand in hand with sensible eating.Waking up at about the same time everyday and exercising daily at the same time conditions you to "know" when to wake up and prepare your body for the rest of the day. The human body is a learning machine. You can train it to be on schedule with your exercise health tip program.

By exercising in the morning, you make sure that you won't miss it out for the day. A lot of times other things can crowd out exercise - work, meetings, social events etc. Thus, exercise tends to get pushed to be the last priority at times.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Most people eat a light breakfast before they exercise in the mornings. This is a double bonus. For one thing you actually get to eat breakfast which will keep you going the whole day. Secondly, you exercise and thus, energize yourself.

Healthy Juicing Tips

☼Tips on Juicing – Rare is the person who can make fresh squeezed juices each and every time they are hungry during the day on a juice fasting, or liver or kidney cleanse.
This could mean making a batch of fresh squeezed juice 5-8 times a day or more. If your lifestyle is such that you can juice as often as 8 times a day for 7 consecutive days, then it is best to do so. However, if this is not an option, then a close second best alternative has been found from the teaching of Rev. George Malkmus in his Hallelujah Diet materials.

☼Decide how much volume of juice you can usually drink at one time to be satisfied - 8 oz. or 16 oz. This is important. Next, go to a regular grocery store that sells canning jars made by Kerr. There are other companies like Ball who also make canning jars, and that will certainly work, but we prefer the ones made by Kerr, if available. Buy at least 2 cases (12 jars per case) of the size jar that is best for you to use - 8 oz. or 16 oz. The cost is usually around $6.00 a case.

☼ Here is the trick: you get all your juicing materials lined up to provide at least 3 quarts of juice. As you make juice, fill up each jar to the very top so that no more can be added. The liquid will actually form a slight dome shape at the top of the jar. Next, hold the disk sealer just over the top of the jar and press down. Some juice should squirt down the side of the jar. This is good as it means there is minimal amount of air trapped in the jar with your juice. Now screw on the sealing ring so that the disk is securely in place. As soon as you complete your juicing project place all the jars of juice in your refrigerator. Take each one out as you need it. In this way fruit juices will keep almost as fresh as actually fresh squeezed for up to 5 days in the refrigerator, and vegetable juices last up to 3 days.

☼ With this recommendation you can do all of your juicing needed to last an entire day or even 2 or 3 days. Warning! Be certain to make enough each time! If the supply is supposed to last one day, make at least 3 quarts (12 - 8 ounce jars or 6 - 16 ounce jars). When away from your home, you can put your jars of juice in a one handed cooler with blue ice (re-freezable ice packs) in it to keep the juice cold.

☼ IMPORTANT NOTE: once you open a jar of juice, you must drink all of its contents within a few minutes. The reason is that prolonged exposure to the air will destroy the enzymes in the juice. Within 20 minutes the  enzymes are all oxidized. This is why you must use jars in a size that allows you to drink the juice quickly without having to wait to drink the rest later. You cannot get away with using store bought juice for the same reason – the enzymes are not present. Capturing the all important enzymes can only be done by juicing and drinking immediately or by sealing the fresh squeezed juice in the canning jar with the above method.
☼ Healthy Tip: Drink small amount first so you body will adjust to not having solid nutrient.

Eating Health Tips

Preventing aging and muscular loss is essential for middle age and above. Popeye was right about eating spinach can make you stronger with more muscle. The older you get the more wrist of muscle mass and strength,so eating healthy is essential for all of us to look more muscular.Let me explain  it's apparent that as we grow older mass is lost. Although this loss is slowed somewhat by weight lifting and vigorous aerobic exercise,it still is evident. Athletes in their 60s typically demonstrate less muscle than they had in their 40s. Eating healthy alkaline food is the key  for  putting on more muscular mass.While prevent muscle loss.

☼ Research shows why nitrogen,which is an essential component of muscle protein,is giving up by the body at a faster rate than it can be taken in as we get older.This is due to a gradual change in kidney function that comes with aging producing an acidic state in the blood. Keeping the body alkaline is the key for keeping also gaining muscle mass. Again eating healthy alkaline food is what we need. So what food is the right one?

☼Yes you already know what food group, basically  fruits and vegetables increase blood alkalinity. But there are few like bean that are acidic. Now for the acidity foods,like  grains,meats, nuts, beans, dairy, fish, and eggs increase the blood's acidity. If your diet is high on the latter expect to lose muscle mass plus bone calcium as you get older.

☼Research study rank foods in terms of their effect on blood acidity and alkalinity. The food that has the most acidic effect therefore contributing to a loss of nitrogen and ultimately muscle is parmesan cheese.
Eating healthy food like raisins among vegetables,spinach was the most alkaline food.
