Five Habits to a Healthy Life - Passion and Friends Are Part of the Package

By Connor R Sullivan Platinum Quality Author

Millions of people seek supplemental health benefits from antioxidants, liquid zeolite, ellagic acid and hundreds of other products. For many the goal is a longer and healthier life. Most people would agree that a healthy long life would be a desirable. Many of these people would readily take a supplement to better their health and life expectancy. Many of these same people want to consume the supplement without giving up the cigarettes, coffee, alcohol, donuts, or 40 hours of television a week. Humans are an interesting contradiction when it comes to behavior and belief.
There are many things a person can do to live a better quality of life and to live a healthier lifestyle. There are five basic areas that should be addressed when seeking to live well. Exercise is the first stone in the foundation of good health and can mean many things as will be noted shortly. Diet is the next obvious element to good health and can also mean many different things to many different people. Passion with curiosity is another element that seldom makes the list of qualities for good health but belongs on it nonetheless. Rest is a more obvious component of wellbeing and can also be defined in several ways. Finally a positive social network is crucial to a well balanced life.

Exercise should be a celebration of the body. Use the muscles that the body was born with and use them well. It might be three nights a week at the gym or it might be chopping wood or tossing bags of concrete. It does not matter so much how the muscles get engaged, but they need to be engaged. An active person keeps the muscles healthy, and the brain and heart are muscles or are like muscles that benefit.

A healthy diet can consist of certain types of food, portions size, meal time habits or any other combination of habits or ideas. The primary aspect to a healthy diet is of course portion size and the food consumed. Two simple behaviors can improve diet immensely. The first behavior is deceptively easy. Place smaller portions on a plate, then, once the food is eaten, wait ten minutes before getting a second serving. Take a few more sips of wine or sparkling water. If ten minutes pass and seconds are still kicking around the brain, indulge and enjoy. Once a person becomes aware of making a choice and listening to what the body needs the diet battle is half won. Second, eat as few processed foods as possible.

Being passionate about something whether it is butterflies or basketball, it offers health benefits as well. Intellectual engagement and spirited interest help keep the mind and spirit involved in life. Adequate rest, whether it is sleep or staring at a fish tank, can restore the body's energy levels. Rest allows for the mind and body to release tension and gain vitality. A close circle of friends also provides a key element to good health as humans are social animals. Exercise, diet, passion, rest and friendship are all important aspects to a healthy existence.

In recent months we have been hearing a lot about overweight children. This is because of the large and growing amount of obese children in western society. It is not only a physical problem but spills over into their mental health as well.

Obese kids are often subject to depression. They do

not feel good about themselves and are often the object of taunts and even bullying regarding their weight. They do not know how to help themselves and cut themselves off from the world. Sometimes they start to look at food as their only solace, which leads to them eating more and gaining even more weight. The situation can lead to a lifelong problem with eating disorders and can often lead to suicide, especially in the teen years.

It is a sad picture for our kids but there is a solution. We can help our kids with love, support and commonsense. Just because your child is overweight does not mean that they are doomed to a miserable life. You can do something about it and change your child's life today.

The Power of the Rebounder Trampoline

By Jeff Tsil

Many people would never guess that the rebounder trampoline is actually one of the top ways to get a good exercise. The main reason for this perception, of course, is because we generally associate it with being a toy for kids. But after reading this article, you will learn that although kids have a kick out of it, the benefits of using one of these is so incredible that NASA endorsed it as being the most effective form of exercise ever devised by man.

If you don't already own one of these, then you're probably very skeptical right now. It's okay, most people are in the beginning. When it comes down to it, in order to get a good workout, you have to be doing something that is able to keep your heart rate up in order to burn enough calories to help you stay in shape. Generally speaking, the two most popular forms of exercise is jogging and walking. In order to see how well using a rebounder is compared to jogging, let's compare.

Just so you know, in terms of burning calories, you would think that there is no way bouncing up and down on a mini trampoline can ever compare to something like jogging. Well, tests show that the amount of calories you burn during 20 minutes of working out on the device is actually more than jogging for 3 miles! Let's take a look at why this is so.

One big reason is the way the rebounder works. When you jump in the air at the increased height that the trampoline allows you to, two things happen. One is when you are at the peak of the jump, your body experiences weightlessness for a split second. The other is at the bottom of the jump, your body can experience up to 5 times the force of gravity. This causes your body to actually get stronger because of the added pressure on all the bones and muscles.

Another reason is that when you extend your body to the fullest, it helps create greater air flow and stimulates certain chemicals in your body, therefore allowing you to produce more energy. Yet another benefit is your abs will get stronger since it naturally has to tighten up to keep you stabilized and balanced.

A huge difference between using a rebounder and jogging is the pressure that is put on your feet and knees. Many people think they can just stick on a pair of running shoes and just go running. This is a big mistake. The constant pounding of the foot on the pavement can cause serious injuries to your foot, ankles, knees, and even your back. However, with the mini trampoline, because of how the mat actually slows down your speed, the impact on your ankles and knees are kept at a minimum.

With so many benefits of using a rebounder, it's no wonder why it has quickly become one of the most popular and fun form of workouts today. You never would've guessed that by just looking at this "toy".

Anti-Wrinkle Firming Cream - Real Results Without the Problems

And because this demand is just too good to pass up, these companies have rushed a glut of anti-aging wrinkle creams to the market without taking the time (or money) to research and develop a product that truly delivers what it promises. So instead of getting real results, oftentimes the consumer ends up with the potential for problems.
