Real Health Review
Real health, as I’ve posted about before, is about health that comes naturally, through eating healthy foods, working out, watching what you buy and how you fuel your body. It’s avoiding prescription drugs and food additives that harm your body.
This year has been a good one. I personally have continued learning more and more about how to lose bodyfat, how to get fit, and what to eat for health. The mainstream press is reporting more and more about health issues, particularly the obesity epidemic and its causes.
For 2007, resolve this:
No trans fats, hydrogenated anything, no MSG or autolyzed or hydrolyzed protein of any sort. No aspartame, or splenda or any other chemical sweetener.
Eat more vegetables, especially broccoli and kale and tomatoes. Make fresh food from local, organic ingredients. Eat smaller, more frequent meals, with high quality, low fat protein at each meal. Skinless chicken breast, salmon, tuna, turkey breast, beef bottom roast, and egg whites should be a mainstay in your house.
My personal new favorite is an oldie. Fat free cottage cheese, mixed with peaches in juice. Perfection!
Workout at least 3-4 times a week, preferably more. Make it a priority in your life. This year I have worked out an average of 4 times a week. Next year I am shooting for 5 times a week. Lift weights to build muscle, which burns more calories. Do high intensity cardio for shorter workouts and greater effect on calorie burning for the rest of the day.
You can do it. I have been and will continue to do so. Eat healthy and clean 90% of the time and you will lose weight, exercise and make sure that the weight you lose is body fat and not precious muscle.
Have a great 2007!
