Prevention
Through Fitness And
Lifestyle Is Always The Best Cure
The most significant diseases
we face today are, for the most part, self-perpetuated. In other
words, if we get sick, chances are it was our own fault.
Places like the American Heart Association, The Texas University
Cancer Prevention Institute, the National Institute of Health,
and The Center for Disease Control are finding that the only effective
treatment for prevention or recovery of heart disease, cancer,
and diabetes is lifestyle. As much as 85 percent of these conditions
can be prevented through properly caring for your body.
Prevention is always the best cure.
Over the past several years science has accumulated a wealth
of data about turning your life and health around. What has been
proven is that the body has an amazing.
As Dr. Jeffery Koplan, director for the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) says, “At any time you decide to improve
your behavior and make lifestyle changes, they make a difference
from that point on. Maybe not right away. It’s like slamming
on the brakes. You do need a certain skid distance.”
Research on exercise shows that it creates a minimum of an additional
50 percent boost in your immune system’s chance of preventing
cancer and causes improved function in all metabolic activities.
On the contrary, avoiding thoughtful movement can produce the
opposite effect, or poorer function and decreased immunity.
All disease and symptoms are related to poor body function, physiological
imbalance and lowered immunity. On the contrary, exercise improves
body function, helps to balance metabolic activity and significantly
boosts immunity. Unfortunately, for many exercise is more of an
annual event. At last check only one out of every four Americans
were found to exercise regularly enough to improve or even maintain
their current level of health.
The three most common excuses for not exercising are:
The Power of 10 Minutes
One of the most encouraging discoveries in the history of exercise
was when they found the power of 10 minutes. In as little as 10
minutes your body begins to function better and increase metabolic
processes with benefits that can last as much as 24 hours. Although
10 mintues of exercise does little to improve long-term cardiovascular
abilities and physical fitness, it's the first step in getting
your body to where it needs to be.
Why first try 10 minutes twice a day--a morning power walk while
meditating followed by an evening bike ride with the family--has
all the benefits of 20 straight minutes. Anyone can find 10 minutes.
Only you can keep yourself moving!
