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!

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!
