A Student’s Guide to Health and Fitness
Whether you are a full time college student or not, this infographic showing a student’s guide to health and fitness can help you get (or stay!) in shape. This is a great health infographic – however – I need to put in my two cents about the Food Groups and Eating Tips section. Group A: Whenever possible, try to buy organic whenever possible. As a student, you are probably on a budget (aren’t we all?!), so save money on organic produce by shopping at your local Farmer’s Market! Group B: Carbohydrates are not the enemy. The type of carbs you eat and how much you eat – is usually the problem. Stick to whole grains (check the labels!) and eat within moderation. Most people just aren’t physically active enough to eat a ton of carbohydrates for every single meal. Group C:...

Cause of Most Chronic Diseases
“Today, more than 95% of all chronic disease is caused by food choice, toxic food ingredients, nutritional deficiencies and lack of physical exercise.” ~Mike Adams We only have one body, we might as well take good care of it. I suggest learning how to read food labels so you can avoid toxic ingredients, and learn how to cook food at home. In addition to providing your body with the nutrients it needs, start an exercise program and stick to it. Living a healthy lifestyle doesn’t mean eating well and exercising until you reach weight loss or a particular goal. Living a healthy lifestyle means you eat healthy and exercise regularly because this is just what you do. It’s a way of life. Living a healthy lifestyle will yield positive results. Eat real food. Exercise regularly. Problem Solved. Feel free...

The “Fat Burning Zone”
If you’re primary fitness goal right now is to lose weight (fat), it’s time to listen up! The “Fat Burning Zone” Years ago, many fitness experts believed that if you wanted to burn the most body fat, you need to just do moderate intensity exercises for long periods of time. It’s true that exercising in certain heart rate zones will allow you to burn more calories from fat in a workout, but we know that moderate intensity endurance workouts isn’t the only key to fat loss, otherwise every long distance runner would have very low body fat – which just isn’t the case. The body will burn more calories from fat during low to moderate intensity exercises (Zone Two: 80% – 85% of Heart Rate Max). However, you burn more calories overall in higher intensity exercises (Zone Three: 86%...

Burn Extra Calories At Work
Benefits of Exercising At Work If you exercise (and eat healthy), you’ll know that exercising actually increases your energy rather than diminishes it. Studies have shown that those who exercise have additional energy and cognitive function – both valuable qualities to have while on the job. Many of us sit all day at a desk job – myself included! – and may need a little bit of additional exercise throughout the day to help wake us up! Additional benefits include getting the blood flowing, boost your metabolism, and aide with overall fat burn. Sounds like a win-win for you and your employer! Here are some quick exercises where you can easily burn some extra calories throughout the day while still getting your job done at work. Bike to Work If you live close enough, why not ride your bike...
