Recent research in this area of sitting too long without movement is starting to show that exercising after sitting all day doesn’t have the positive effects you want. The metabolism might be so negatively affected that it isn’t burning fat at all. This can have serious consequences for your health and longevity. The thing to do is to get moving right away.
A woman’s health can only be done by the person in the body. No one can make you take care of yourself except you. If you haven’t been taking time for yourself lately, think about all the time you’ll have to do nothing when you are either lying flat on your back in bed or the worse, dead. That’s pretty harsh I know but it’s something women need to consider. Self care is the best care. For most, it’s the only type of care we haven’t mastered. Take time for you. Life is short and you only go around once. Make self care a part of your normal schedule and learn to make it the best care you practice.
Vegan diets are emerging as some of the healthiest possible. Next to that are vegetarian diets which come in different levels. Other information shows that a vegan diet is good for helping diabetes something we’ll talk about a lot more in the near future.
If you haven’t been exercising like you should today is a great day to get started. How about getting up every 60 minutes to do some stretching, or take a 10 minute walk around the block. You don’t have to sign up for a marathon yet, just stop making excuses and get yourself moving.
As a vegan, I no longer eat animal products. It’s my intention to stay this way for the rest of my life as I believe it is the healthiest way of eating. But I realize that not everyone feels this way. I will be sharing more about plant-based, vegan diets as a way to prevent and sometimes reverse some cancers later during this Breast Cancer Awareness Month. However, I know it’s difficult to change eating habits and if you are a meat eater, it can take time to learn how to make the switch to eating as a vegan.
Cancer is a disease that has no respect for persons. That means it strikes anyone. I know, as I’ve recently experience this in my immediate family with great sadness. Baby Boomers are totally concerned with the ravages of this disease.
Do you wonder why so much pink is being worn by so many people this month? I particular enjoy watching football games during this time and seeing big, husky men with pink socks and pink gloves. It not just a new fashion statement, but a way to join in promoting that fact that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
