Health Power

Ever come to the point when it's as if you feel tired all the time? Has a little amount of work left you breathless? How's your weight? Your heart? Your vices if any? Well, I can go on and on with all of these related factors but the underlying issue here is maintaining and nurturing our bodies for optimal health. Often times, we want to tackle too many issues at the same time regarding our health but the key to any preventive measures is having the right mindset and a level of awareness of what you need to be doing to regain that vitality you have lost.

The first of any agenda are lifestyle changes. Eating to nurture our bodies and, most importantly, eating right. Go back to organic food. Do your research on what your 4-5 recommended daily servings of fruit actually does for you. Fruits and vegetables are "alive" foods as they are digested with their naturally available nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Lessen your intake of cooked "dead" foods like meats. By changing into this pattern of eating alone you'll feel nimble and light on your feet. Another added advantage of eating more of your greens is you purge your body by flushing away accumulated toxins and waste products.

The next on our list would be to gradually increase the amount of activity that we do. By doing so we increase our metabolic rate or our body's way of metabolizing nutrients for energy. As we progress we can increase our workload to include the added benefits of cardiovascular workouts. Losing weight is not what we target here but BECOMES A CONSEQUENCE of simply changing our habits and adapting into becoming more activity conscious. Remember, however, that the amount of work you can do can only be dictated by your doctor if you have heart disease, diabetes, or other degenerative disorders.

Thirdly we have to be more conscious of what we eat, when we eat, and how much. Moderation is the word of the day here. You can still eat that chocolate cake but only a couple of mouthfuls and not the whole slice. Don't punish yourself with complete deprivation because eating shouldn't be toilsome but fun. One fruit I happen to love in particular is the Papaya fruit. This fruit is worth it's weight in gold, mind you, and I am not just saying that. It has many health attributes actually and amongst these are it increases vitality, it promotes healing, it acts as an anti-ageing factor, it's anti-oxidant properties prevent cancer, it helps with indigestion, and it also acts as an immune booster. I love papaya, can you tell. Oh, and did you know that if you are suffering from GERD or reflux disease, a daily serving of this fruit not only helps in alleviating symptoms but promotes rapid healing? Well, it does that and more. More on this wonderful fruit. Until my next post. Take care guys.

A Little Something Different

Hello guys. Sorry for the long absence. I know my blog is hardly read or if seen at all but I feel it's been a part of my life. It's an avenue by which I write about pertinent things, values, character, and almost anything important to our lives and health. I haven't really opened this blog for quite some time due to sickness but I feel I owe posting to it. If you've been doing something for quite some time it becomes part of you regardless of what you originally intended to do with it.

Ok, here's something different. I love cars. I think there's a certain romance and poetry in one's love affair with his or her set of wheels. I love cars with character, which means I love old cars. and I love them with a passion. My dream car? Well, it's hard to say because I have lots of dream cars ranging from a 5 window '32 Ford hot rod with a 429 shotgun or a 392 Hemi stuffed between the framerails, to the infamous 911 Carrera RSR and even the car with the most venomous bite, the Cobra 427 SC. But alas, as luck would have it, I am stuck with my ancient '93 Dakota with the magnum v8, and my "project car" for 20 years, my little Porsche 924. I love that car because it's light, nimble, and if set up right can run the slalom with respectable time.

As with many things I have passion doing, my little garage is, on some days, my mecca, tinkering away, disassembling this and that knowing full well I probably may not put it back together the way it was ever again. My point in all this, you ask? a lot of us immerse ourselves with work that when asked what our interests are we unroll the long list of " Well, I'd like to ....if I only have enough time." When we are passionate about something we immerse ourselves in our labors of love and this is one way to fight STRESS, by DIVERSION. Of course a lot of us may have different interests but it really doesn't matter. What matters is we nurture our creativity and at the same time we can share something unique that speaks volumes about ourselves.

I mean wouldn't you feel better if by chance you were in a car show and ran into someone who not only loves cars but is an anime fan like yourself? Wow! Take care guys, it's good to be back, typing away. Until my next post.

P.S.- I write poetry in my other blog.(",)
