But the fact that easy walking is enough to increase energy levels by 20 % and decrease fatigue by 65 % came as a positive surprise to me.

I found a research covers that ordinary overworked people who do not find the time to exercise.

The research covered 36 volunteers. They did not exercise regularly and had reported persistent fatigue but did not have any medical conditions.
The volunteers were divided into three groups:

1. the moderate-intensity aerobic group who exercised 20 min 3 times a week for six weeks
2. the low-intensity aerobic group with the same schedule but at a lower intensity
3. the control group who did not exercise

To everyone’s surprise, the low-intensity group had a greater reduction (65%) in fatigue levels than the moderate-intensity group (49%).

A 20 min easy walk 3 times a week is something that everyone can fit into their schedule. So activate yourself but don’t over do it.

I wonder Do we really need warm food to stay warm in the winter?

Especially raw foodists find it hard to stay warm in the winter. But there are great ways to stay warm even if you don’t heat your food.

I’ve got low blood pressure and get cold very quickly so I find myself a good guinea pig for this.

Here a my Top 3 ways to stay warm:

1. MOVE: Your blood circulation is your best engine to stay warm. And the best way to keep your blood circulation going is to stay active. Don’t sit still for too long but get up and move regularly. Especially moving your torso and upper body works great.
   • Twist your upper body.
   • Lift and lower your shoulders at a fast pace.
2. Keep Your Lower Back Warm: Few things makes you as cold as cool air on your lower back. A loose T-shirt or one that opens a gap as you move are devastating. Dress with clothes that cover your whole back tightly even as you move or bend forwards.
3. Avoid Cold Food: Don’t cool yourself down with cold food. Take the food out of the fridge and let it adjust to room temperature before your eat it.

A cup of hot tea to warm up your cold fingers or some spicy food also helps but in effectiveness I would not compare them to the 3 above.

3,000 calories and 229 grams of fat is what the average American will consume at a holiday feast.

And in a couple of weeks the next holiday is coming.

Now is the time to detox.
If you’ve never tried detox before than give it just 1 single day. You won’t regret it!

We’re all really busy right now and most of us can do with some EXTRA energy.

A 1-3 day detox will:

• Give you more energy.
• Give your digestive system a well deserved break.
• Relieve stress.
• Eliminate some toxins from your body.
• Maybe remove some excess weight.

If you choose a detox diet that fits you will NOT make you feel:

• Tired
• Weak
• Hungry

Maybe you like it enough to continue a couple of days more.

By day 7 your body will have started to burn excess body fat, not releasing water but burning fat. Sounds interesting?

Choosing a Detox Diet

There are so many detox diets out there and you have to think about what fits you. If you don’t like salad and raw foods do a cleanse that contains cooked food.
If you love fruits and smoothies do a detox on just that.

Some people detox on just apples. Apples are great food so why not, just remember to peel them.

My favorite is to do a green cleanse where I eat all the fresh raw fruits and vegetables that I want.

• I don’t get hungry.
• I don’t get tired.
• I just get tons of energy!

You can eat your food as they are, you can make delicious smoothies or you can try out some exiting raw food recipes.
If you’re not already a raw foodist I really recommend that you try a couple of days of green cleanse.

Can You resist this?

Nothing compares to a fresh smoothie.

• 1 ripe mango
• juice from 1 orange
• 1/2 pear

Peel and cut in the fruits in pieces. Mix it all until smooth.

You can also cleanse on cooked food.

For example the vegetable cleanse where you eat only vegetables. You can eat them raw, steamed or as a soup. Of course fresh herbs, onions and garlic are vegetables so this has real potential for great taste.

If you think that this all is not for you then did you know that you can detox on regular food?
This is how you do it:

1. Have breakfast, lunch as usual.
2. At 3 PM, have a  snack of fresh fruits.
3. After 3 PM drink only water the rest of the day.

Bottom line is that there is a way to detox for each and everyone of us.
All you need is to find your special detox diet.

If it’s only for 1 day. How hard can it be?

This is a high risk zone for women. Pregnancies and our wide pelvis makes is more important for women to watch our abs and back muscles. On top of this many of us get heavier around the hips as we age, making lower abs even more vital.

The good news is that with just 3 months training you can lower your physical age with 10 years!

I’m 36. I’ve never had 6-pack abs and I never will. But that does not make it less important for me strengthen my abs. On the contrary with a history of back ache, 3 pregnancies and a long hours in front of my laptop I should be more concerned about my abs than the average 20-year old who wants to look good in a bikini.

By strengthening your abs you:

1. Lower your physical age
2. Remove back ache
3. Get better posture
4. Create beautiful waistline
5. Burn dangerous fat around your intestines

My solution

I started getting back ache at in my 20-tees. I went to see several doctors and all they every did was give me painkillers. I asked what I could to to make the pain go away permanently and every time I got the answer: “There is nothing you can do, you’re fine, take some pain killers and move on.”

I don’t want pain killers!

I want to find out why I have back ache so that I can do something about it.

Finally I had a series of back massages where I got to hear that my back muscles where really tense. I needed to stretch them out and strengthen them.
Yoga became my rescue. It gave me both the exercise I needed and a powerful piece of mind.

Lately I’ve been trying out more focused strength training. And I’m really impressed by the results you see and feel in very short time. Workouts are going more and more towards fast and efficient today. You don’t need to do 100 boring crunches. By combining effective exercises which strengthens your whole core you get:

1. Fast results
2. In less time
3. With a minimum of equipment

You don’t need expensive equipment.

You can see results in just a couple of weeks.

Other ways

Even if physical exercise is one of the mayor keys to healthy stomach and back muscles there are other factors that can make a difference. For example:

• Stress
• Eating habits

You can support the process by eating foods that remove that stomach fat. Snacks for a Flat Belly.

For Non-responders

Did you know that 50% of all women are so called non-responders? Which means that exercise is not enough to lose weight. For all non-responders and every one who knows that they could improve their diet, the best programs cover both parts diet and exercise.

You can use full body workouts 3-4 times a week to exercise your stomach.

Or maybe 15 min day fits better in to your schedule.

If an exercise plan does not fit in your schedule it’s a total waste of money. But you will NEVER be able to strengthen your back and stomach muscles without making an effort.

It’s never too late

It doesn’t matter how old you are and what you look like to benefit from stronger muscles holding up you body. On the contrary, the more unfit and the older you are, the faster you will feel results.

You can start right now by correcting your posture and tightening your inner abs as you are reading this article.

The best if it all

By increasing your muscles mass you become younger and healthier. You will  naturally lower your blood pressure, your bad cholesterol, and your risk of type-2 diabetes and osteoporosis.

How do you think it turned out? I spent a horrible amount of money on 4 visits to the gym.

We have to exercise to stay healthy but many of us feel obligated to join a gym.

If you are like me, who just can’t find the time to go to there then stop wasting your money on expensive memberships.

You get excellent exercise from just moving more in your daily life, putting on your shoes and going for a power walk.

If you prefer to follow a specially designed program, there are plenty of great once out there.

You can transform your body in just 30 min 3 times a week or with an amazing 15 minutes 5 times.

Especially in difficult economical times like these there is no reason to spend money on a gym.
