Here’s a Helpful, Healthful Tip for Better Health and Improved Body Composition:
Stop eating at least three hours before bed.
Your body needs time to rest, recuperate and rebuild.
These important functions occur primarily at night as we sleep, but are inhibited when the body has food to digest.
So let your body do what it needs to do.
Stop eating at least 3 hours before bed and watch your health improve and your waistline shrink!
To your Good Health!
We provide the raw materials for our own self-creation.
What are you made of?
Is it enough?
Are you satisfied?
You really do control the final creation.
What you ultimately become …is completely up to you.
Conventional wisdom seems to advocate that if you want to lose weight and get into shape –all you need to do is eat less and exercise more.
Really?
I’m afraid that just isn’t true.
Not by a long shot.
It’s just not that simple.
As a trainer & BioSignature practitioner, I’m responsible for motivating my clients to perform at their best during training and to make positive lifestyle and nutrition choices when I’m not around.
Are you Determined to Win?
The biggest challenge you will ever face when deciding to make lifestyle changes…is you.
You are your own biggest asset and your own biggest liability.
Your strengths are also your weaknesses.
In the field of brain research the Hebbian Theory states that: “Brain cells that fire together –wire together”
Brain neurons -hard at work -creating actions -creating your life!
All that means is, when we make the same choices over and over -the random chemical reactions in our brains begin to fire as if there is no other alternative -like they are not ‘random’ anymore.
It’s like we no longer have ‘choice.’
We seem to feel that we have to act in these same, predictable patterns, these same predictable ways -making the same predictable unhealthy choices.
So what used to be random…..is now “automatic”
We can also call these are our habits.
But in reality our habits are just the choices we make and the and actions we take…that’s all. They can be changed.
We really can ‘re-wire’ the neurons in our brains to ‘re-fire’ in different order and in different sequence to create new and different actions, behaviors and habits.
We have that power! -It’s true!
I get all ‘goose-bumpy’ just thinking about it! (I am such a nerd)
So new habits may be difficult to get into and you may not ‘think’ you’re enjoying them but there’s more going on inside that head of yours than you may realize.
You’re fighting with yourself and there is a battle going on inside your brain.
Remember…..
“Brain cells that fire together –wire together”
Just start ‘firing’ new experiences and eventually those experiences will become habit and then……
–The sky is the limit!
You can ultimately do whatever you want to do.
(See? -now YOU have the goosebumps!)
To your good health!
Follow this tip for better health:
Do not eat anything from a box, a bag, a tube, a can or a wrapper. Avoid eating anything processed, preserved and anything with ingredients label. Sound harsh? Too bad, think again.
Take a look at a typical ingredient label. Would you eat each and every one of those ingredients all by themselves? Could you even get your hands on each one of those ingredients? Not likely, not unless you’re a chemist working in a lab.
Another one of my clients just lost 8 pounds of fat and 5 inches off her waistline!
Well, it didn’t “just happen”
She’s been working on it for a while now….
How long has she been working on it?
How long do you think it should take?
How long should you have to work to lose 8 pounds of fat and 5 inches off your waistline?
When our bodies are in the seated position we begin to lose the elasticity in our muscles, tendons and connective tissue.
Muscles begin to shrink -to adapt to the seated positioning we adopt so often. This shrinkage causes our posture to change and will even begin to shift our pelvis into a forward alignment called lordosis.
Back Pain?
This exaggerated alignment causes compression on our lumbar spine which in turn gives us pain.
Starting to get bored with summer burgers and brats?
Here’s a nutritious recipe I’m sure you’ll enjoy!
Begin with fresh swordfish fillets, drizzled with olive oil.
But did you know….?
Gently steaming your crunchy, cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower etc..) increases their available fiber content as well as their adaptogen (hormone balancing) properties?
Eat plenty of crunchy veggies!
But gently steam them for even more nutritional value!
