Realizing that 98% of the atoms in your body are replaced completely within less than one year helps you to un... Positive And Negative Effects To Expect When You Quit Smoking By : John Maxim Before you read the rest of this article, understand that quitting smoking can be one of the best things you can do for yourself as a smoker. You are guaranteeing a healthier life, and a longer life. Make no mistake; no negative effect you may observe when you quit smoking is so bad that you will decide to keep smoking. There are no positive effects by continuing to smoke, but when you quit, you may notice some changes that you may not have expected. Since the pros outweigh t... Are You A Computer Potato? By : Kirsten Hawkins Working at the computer for hours a day leads to just as big a rear-end spread as sitting on the couch all day watching television. But you’ve got work to do! How can you avoid the poor fitness that comes with a sit down job? First, the wisest thing you can do is to schedule breaks every fifteen to twenty minutes. Walk around and do something different for a few minutes. People tend to think that the interruption of thought will hinder their work. On the contrary, folks w... Fad Diets By : Kirsten Hawkins High-Fat, Low-Carbohydrate Diets - Millions of Americans have joined the low-carb craze and started high-fat, low-carb diets such as the Atkins Diet, and the Zone Diet. They are made up of about 60% fat, 10% carbohydrate, and 30% protein. These diets say you can eat high amounts of fat and protein while getting very low amounts of carbohydrates in the form of vegetables. The main premise of the low-carb diet is that a diet low in carbohydrates leads to a reduction in bodyÕs p... Don't Obsess About Food By : Kirsten Hawkins One of the dangers of dieting is the 'diet mentality'. The constant need to weigh, measure, count and account for food that most dieters feel can become an obsession with food that comes close to that experienced by someone with an eating disorder. Is it possible to lose weight without becoming obsessed with food? Dr. David Katz, author of "The Way to Eat", suggests a better way. While it's important to balance the calories you eat with the calories you burn, he says, i... Why Do Some Fail To Quit Smoking? By : Mark Humphrey Most smokers, when you ask them, will claim that even though they smoke everyday, they really do want to quit smoking. However, the number one reason some smokers don't quit is because deep down inside, they really do not want to quit at all. Nicotine is an addictive drug, simple as that. And the body, once introduced to high amounts of it over a period of time, can't seem to function without it. Quitting smoking is hard, but the truth of the matter is that if you go 48 hours... Don't Undermine Your Diet By : Kirsten Hawkins Let's start this article off right. You are not 'going on a diet'. Our concept of 'a diet' implies a temporary change that will work miracles - if we're only strong enough to stick to it. That way of thinking is encouraged by decades of 'fad diets' that promised us quick, low-effort weight loss, if we just ate this one miracle food. I still remember the Cabbage diet, the No-Carb diet and the Banana diet, among others. Over and over throughout the last 40 years, diets that adv... Efficient And Effective Exercise By : Kirsten Hawkins I have been wondering lately about the effectiveness of exercising. If you look at life a couple generations ago, folks worked physically, but they weren't power-lifting and running miles upon miles to stay fit and trim. So what were our ancestors doing to remain in good health and shape? First, let’s not neglect the fact that cars weren’t everywhere and that those who lived in towns often were able to walk wherever they needed to go. The days of small town living with a ... Exercise Management By : Kirsten Hawkins Exercise is vital to shedding excess weight and keeping it off. The body was meant to be active, and that is often a challenge in todayÕs often-sedentary lifestyles. White collar workers, security workers, and drivers make up a large part of the workforce, and get very little exercise daily. Especially if you fit into this category, a concerted effort must be made in order to ensure that an exercise regimen is followed that will afford you a level of activity that will provid... Constipation… No Longer A Taboo Subject! By : Willie Jones In today’s fast food generation and sedentary life styles, not only do we have a problem in America with obesity, we also have a problem with constipation. Something in the past we did not always want to talk about. But in reality we do need to address this as it can have an array of adverse effects on the body. The colon is a large holding tank for waste material that needs to be eliminated on a daily basis. When this does not occur and you are going only every two, thre... Kicking The Habit: The Zyban Way By : ron king A smoker must defeat both nicotine addiction and a series of smoking habits in order to ultimately join the ranks of the non-smoker. Zyban is one tool that makes the process must easier. Five Things To Reach For Instead Of A Snack By : Kirsten Hawkins We all do it. When we're bored, lonely, frustrated, uncomfortable - just about any negative feeling at all - we reach for a snack. It may be habit, it may be 'socially acceptable' or it may be the result of years of conditioning, but there it is. We've grown to equate food with comfort. There are some situations that are more likely to provoke us to reach for a snack - can you watch a movie without popcorn, for instance? Recognizing some of them in advance and heading them of... Get Instant Energy -- Without Those Energy Drinks! By : Lisa Hyde-Barrett Glyconutrients can provide your body with the high-intensity instant energy it needs, without the ill-effects associated with energy drinks. Dangers Of Smoking By : Michael Sneed Almost everybody knows that smoking is bad for the health. Images of blackened lungs line school hallways and hospital waiting rooms, but despite this people continue to take up smoking. This may have to do with the pervasive romantic image of smoking -- an image that has nothing in common with reality. There are many ways to take tobacco. You can chew it, inhale it through the nose, and smoke it in the form of cigars or cigarettes. No matter how it's taken it is dangerous... Overview Of Obesity By : Kirsten Hawkins Obesity is a disease that affects approximately 60 million people in the United States, and women are especially affected. Over one-third of women between the ages of 20 and 74 are obese, the majority of them being African American or Mexican American. With more and more pre-packaged food and less and less activity, the number of obese people in America has steadily increased since the 1960Õs. But what is obesity? Many people think obesity means that a person is overweight... Should You Join A Fitness Club? By : Kirsten Hawkins If you feel a little intimidated about exercising with men in a big sweat-infused gym room, consider joining a ladies fitness club. Don’t worry- not all the ladies in the club are trim and physically fit. That’s why they’re there. You’ll find ladies of all shapes and sizes at the gym, and you’ll make some wonderful friends. If you have a buddy that you can go with - talking during the exercise makes the time go by much faster, and the accountability is helpful on those da... No Excuses Exercises By : Kirsten Hawkins It's old news that exercising is the single best way to spark up your weight loss efforts. The activity perks up your metabolism, and eats up more calories. In addition, the more you exercise, the better the effect. Exercising builds muscle mass, which is denser and more compact than fat. That means your body has to expend more effort to pump blood through it, and it requires more nutrients to keep it healthy. The end result? Even at rest, your body naturally burns more calor...
