Prevention of chronic disease

Energy expenditure through physical activity is an important part of a person’s day-to-day activity that balances and maintains body weight. This emphasizes consideration of the impact of physical activity along with the aspect of diet, nutrition and health. Physical activity has great influence on body composition and is one of the major causes of overweight and obesity. Your diet plan and exercise programs are the most cost effective, affordable and sustainable course of action to combat chronic diseases. Modern dietary patterns like fastfoods and physical activity patterns like escalator and elevator are communicable risk behavior affecting us globally. Technology no matter how much convenience and comfort it has given us makes us pay the other way round – our health. Technology oftentimes makes us lazy to do more physical activity which makes us all the more susceptible to chronic diseases. Learn to walk those stairs on your way to the office and be able to breathe in and out and maintain your abs. Hmmnn are you aspiring to be sexy? Walk the stairs and trim those tummy and be healthy!

Never too late to start exercising

There is no “from” period and “to” period starting out an exercise and creating better health habits. The moment you get aware of the benefits it brings to your beauty, career and outlook in life – do it! When you start walking or even just use your treadmill and stationary bike at home you improve your exercise efficiency. You get to have a lighter effect, change in mood and change in the way you think and decide on things. Your mind seems to work when you burn those fats out instead of sitting on them!

Those who maintain physical activity burn more fats and lose less muscle than those who focus on pure diet plans without exercise. People lose lean muscle mass with age. Losing much could be risky and may interfere with daily living. Exercise produces metabolic changes which require burning of calories to perform physical activity. Tablets, pills or multivitamins do not and can never replace proper diet and physical activity. Grow old healthy and mentally alert – exercise daily!

Prevention of chronic diseases

Please don’t go to the doctor when you have them already. It is best to develop healthy eating habits including physical activities to keep you in good shape. Diet and nutrition in the prevention of chronic diseases plays an all equivalent role of importance with exercise and daily burning of fats and calories. The best way I can think of preventing chronic diseases is to discipline and teach your own selves to practice thinking about diet, nutrition, fruits, vegetables and walking or any sweat-it-all physical activity.

We don’t rely on doctors to do this for us because the main thing that they do is type in our complaints and save it on their PDAs. They are on to monitoring and giving treatments if we go back to their clinics. They don’t guarantee health. They only help us keep ourselves getting healthy. So where do we go from here if we don’t make ourselves responsible enough to keep us healthy?

Being healthy is not a matter of getting consultations from the best doctor in town. Being healthy means how you take care of your health and your diet. Well we better start now if we don’t want to be kept on queues in their clinics. Who wants to be my health buddy?

Managing stroke

Relieve pain and restore self to good health – never let frustrations sink in!

In desperate moments you have everyone near your heart to call on. But if they won’t come don’t let frustrations topple your confidence down. Life has its own meaning and events serve you with a purpose. Try to keep yourself at bay from negative emotions and try listening to music first.

Yes music therapy has a lot to do with your emotions, moods and thinking. Give yourself the chance to feel light to overcome stress. Listen to music and maybe try to sing along with it like you are singing with a karaoke. Music helps to make you feel good even if you go up and down with your mood. It does help ease the pain.

When you hear the sounds daydream a little and you will notice that your mood will elevate. There you are…. You feel lighter now….. Can you snap you fingers? Snap and go with the beat.

Then move your feet… move your legs… that’s it… little by little…. Stretch your arms…. Go …. Go… you are doing well…

Stroke is not easy to deal with but the most critical part is the confidence and the will to survive. Take it easy and listen to the music. Go with the beat and stretch… there you are… stretch again….

Having fun?

I have experienced dragging my left leg five years ago while walking going to the office to report work. And it was not easy. I did not have a stroke but my herniated disc was causing me much pain. My left leg was all numb sometimes I can’t feel with my leg and it was so frustrating because I was still in my 30s at that time.

I had my moments and frustrations but tried to survive by undergoing physical therapy and going to an early morning walk everyday, swim at the sea on weekends and then danced with Britney Spears songs any time when I am at home. It was great help because I am still walking until now without undergoing surgery yet. And by the way, it will make you slimmer and look sexy too. I guess that’s the bonus!

Perfect body

Say hello to a perfect healthy body and say goodbye to chronic diseases the easy way – diet and nutrition!

Diet and nutrition are critical to the promotion and maintenance of good health throughout your entire life course. The burden of chronic diseases is rapidly increasing globally as such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, osteoporosis and dental diseases. But let me ask you guys… Are you not aware that chronic diseases are largely preventable diseases?

Yup darlings they are preventable diseases. Modern dietary patterns and physical activity patterns are risk behaviors affecting one population to another and are considered as communicable at the risk factor level. You may have notice that traditional largely plant based diets are being replaced by high fat energy dense diets with a substantial content of animal based foods at fast food counters while physical inactivity proves to be increasingly affecting a lot of people because of technology and a lot of mechanical innovations to promote comfortable living.

Yesireee comfortable living is giving as an edge to win the marathon race to the doors of early onset of chronic diseases. Lifestyles should be managed and balanced in a way that we used much of our strength to strengthen our muscles and stamina and for cardio purposes. And most of all this gives us the perfect body we need when we decide to start sweating it out.

Food strategies could well be spelled in diet and nutrition. It’s repetitive but we always go back there. Food, diet, nutrition, physical inactivity could be improved by eating lots of fruits and vegetables and doing daily exercises.

Who wants sexy abs?

Leaner, sleeker, sexier, trimmer and tighter tummy are the kind of abs we want to have. And it is great news to be able to tell you that we can work toward a more amazing abs from flab to fab (fabulous!). But at the moment while you are still working on it please don’t wear jeans that are too small or too tight or it will make your belly or abs protrude.

Our goal is to slash your weight then trim your abs. How do we do that?

Makeup, accessories or any other alternative to make your abs appear lighter with a thinner look may do for a while but may not give you that good look and healthy feeling. It would be best to do a real good walk everyday to trim those fats off.

To progressively increase the training stimulus of your abdominal muscles you may want to perform abdominal curls on a decline bench rather than on a flat bench. Weightlifting exercises your muscles at greater than normal workloads. This produces microscopic tears in the muscle cells and connective tissues. Your body responds by producing new muscle proteins and cause muscle growth while increasing strength.

Please take note that there is a need to rest the exercised muscles between workouts for these changes to occur. Substantial improvements are seen to people who lift weights every other day or maybe 2 to 3 times a week. Lifting weights everyday may risk your muscles by overtraining.

A split routine may be created so you won’t be exercising the same muscle groups everyday and to avoid excessive muscle soreness and overuse injuries. You may also opt for calisthenics as a mild form to strength training. If you have a low back pain like an herniated disc injury then avoid the steps where you need to twist and bend. It may be helpful to alter training stimulus weekly or daily to be able to change combination of intensity, repetition and sets.

Designing your weight management and body composition program is never easy. The help of fitness professional is needed to give it the desired workout intensity and nutrition balance your body needs. But to start toning your body you may want to do an hour a day walking and eating lots of fruits and vegetables.

Promising cancer cure and genetic changes

Researchers were able to tracked 30 men suffering from low risk prostrate cancer who did not submit to conventional medical treatments like surgery, radiation or hormone therapy. The men were quite firm on their decision to make a major lifestyle change instead of submitting to conventional medical treatments.What they did was performed at least 30 minutes a day of moderate exercise like walking including meditation. Meditation has greatly helped them to manage their stress levels. Their diet was also composed of more fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes and soy products.

As expected they were successful in losing weight and had managed to lower their blood pressure for the past three months. The most intriguing find is the increased in their activity of disease preventing genes and the decrease or shut down of a number of their disease promoting genes.

I am happy to tell you guys that exercise is the cheapest and the most effective cancer preventing activity you can count on. Why not make this a healthy habit then? Find an exercise buddy and get on with your lifestyle change.

No matter how you slice and restructure your butt and your fats, you still end up listening to the three important fixes of your life and health.

I would consider a diet plan like Zone diet which takes major consideration on the work of glucose on your body or take a look at the DASH diet plan recommended by the government. Whichever suits you and is easier to follow you stick to the meal plan. It pays to really really stick to one diet plan and observe the results.

The human body

The human body is designed for movement and strenuous physical activity. Prolonged physical inactivity exposes individuals at greater risk for developing chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, cancer, obesity and musculoskeletal disorders. It has been noted that regular physical activity is the best defense against development of many diseases. To expend approximately 1000 kcal/wk you need to exercise 150 min/wk. Don’t you know that women who walk briskly for 1.25 to 2.5 hr/wk reduces their risk for breast cancer by 18%? It is apparent that health benefits of exercise depend on the frequency, intensity and duration of the physical activity. As you grow older you should be able to at least maintain or increase the volume of your physical activity. A listing below may help you calculate the amount of physical activity you have been doing and enjoy doing.

Gardening for 30 to 45 minutes, washing and waxing a car for 45-60 min, walking in 35 min, basketball for 30 min, cycling for 30 min, dancing fast for 30 min and water aerobics for 30 min are considered as less vigorous activities. The more rigorous ones are swimming laps for 20 min, running and stair walking. These activities are easy to do and do not need any expensive gym memberships to complete. I have a client at the bank before who walk or jog early morning then go to swim late afternoons. My God at the age of 50 she looks young like 30s or late 30s and very sexy. Believe me she looks healthy as she looks sexy. Now isn’t that a good motivator ladies?

prevention is more important for healthy individuals

Today medical practitioners are more on the tasks of prevention rather than treatment. They would want to assess the physical fitness and physical activities of apparently healthy individuals rather than those who have suspected or documented cardiovascular disease. There are great benefits that one derives from regular physical activity in terms of disease prevention and health improvement. Physical inactivity I believe is now a global issue. When people are too busy fulfilling other commitments, health is always taken for granted. WHO reported that 60% of the global population does not meet the daily minimum recommendation of 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity. Government and medical practitioners are faced with the challenge of educating and motivating people to incorporate physical activity as a regular part of their lifestyles.

So let’s take a look at our lifestyle. Physical activity is easy to incorporate in our lives. Start taking the stairs rather than elevators or escalators. This will improve your cardiovascular health. Go to the gym at least three times a week if possible. If you find it difficult to manage time then maybe you would want to buy a bicycle and spend an hour or two at the park to sweat it out. Then take a good walk or a good jog to stretch the back and the upper muscles too. Stretch and sweat it out! Your body needs to keep those sweat glands working. Devise any physical activity that could stretch your muscles, improve your cardiovascular health and most of all easier for you to do like a treadmill at home.

Prevention of chronic diseases

Prevention of chronic diseases and the reduction of their impact are seen to be related to dietary and lifestyle changes. The role of diet is essential in preventing and controlling morbidity. Since rapid changes in diets and lifestyles have occurred with industrialization, economic development and market globalization, progress has significant impact on health and nutritional status of population. With the increase of inappropriate dietary patterns and decrease of physical activity is the corresponding increase of diet related chronic diseases. Changes in the world food economy are practically reflected in the shift of dietary patterns. Because of these changes, obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, stroke and cancer are increasingly fast becoming causes of disability and death.

Trends in shifting dietary patterns and increasing sedentary lifestyle are major risk factor for noncommunicable chronic diseases. Along with the increased tobacco use are the corresponding increased of diet related chronic diseases which is more common among the poor people. Nutrition is fast coming to the fore as major modifiable determinant of chronic diseases. Any alterations in diet have both positive and negative long term effects on health and life. Dietary adjustments may very well determine any person’s tendency to develop diseases like cancers, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes in later life. This is to reiterate the importance of nutrition, diet and exercise in a person’s life even at a very young age. Developing recommendations for diet and nutrition and the need for sufficient physical activity is still best in the prevention of chronic diseases.
