Ideas To Live By

In one of my conversations with a good buddy of mine he stated some ideas that I find worth mentioning:
- Love, respect and protect your family.
- Fear of nobody except for God (not in the sense that God is there to get you, but still...)
- Don't be a rat.
I think they are great principles to live by.

What you don’t know about fat could kill you

We all know that high amount of fat in our body increases the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke and heart attack. But there are many other important reasons-that not a lot of people know about- to get rid of that extra fat:
- Fat doesn’t just store energy, it stores toxins which affect the overall health of the body.
- A high fat percentage affects overall brain health and has been linked to higher risk of dementia and Alzeihmer.
- When a person’s body fat content is high, the fat tissue "behaves" like a gland that compromises the hormonal balance of the body.
- There are two stages of gaining fat: in the beginning fat cells grow in size; once they've reached their maximum size, the body produces more fat cells which will be there permanently. Once our body develops those extra fat cells, we we'll need to make extra efforts to keep the fat off.

These are just some of the reasons to keep our body in good shape. It's as easy as doing weight training, cardio, eating healthy food and sleeping 7-8 hours a night.

The weight loss formula

Many people wonder what they need to do in order to lose weight, increase muscle tone, and get rid of excess body fat.
Some try weightloss supplements in the hopes of finding an easy solution, many opt to go on popular "special" diets, while others try their luck with "10-minute" workout videos that promise miraculous results with little effort and time.
Let's be honest. If any of these "quick fixes" really do work by themselves , we wouldn't be dealing with an obesity epidemic that we're seeing today. If you were to dig a little deeper and contact the manufacturer or the supplements, or the creator of the diet or work-out programs, they'll likely tell you that you have to use their product in conjunction with a sensible diet and exercise program in order to see the results as advertised. The bottom line is that these products themselves do not work independently. So, if you really want to see the results you must integrate all of these components into your weight program:
1. Cardio exercise
2. Weight Training
3. Healthy diet consisting mainly of lean proteins, vegetable, and low in carbohydrates
4. Plenty of rest. Being sleep deprived and/or stressed causes hormonal imbalances that can derail your efforts and increases your tendency to binge eat.

Weight Loss doesn't always come that easily. Like anything else worth having, it takes discipline, commitment and sacrifice.
