The Best And Simplest Exercise to Lose Weight

The easiest plan to a fit body begins with the easiest exercise: Walking

Every get-fit plan should start with a basic 30-minute daily walk for 30 days. It will prime your
body for the muscle-toning and stamina-building exercises you need in order to go from couch potato
to hot tamale. Chet or skip this simplestep and you run the risk of injuring yourself and falling off
the fitness wagon.

First things First

According to RealAge experpert Mehmet Oz, MD, an out-of-shape muscle is deficient in two things' tiny
powerhouse factories (called mitochondria) that generate juice for your workouts, and contractile
proteins that give the muscle strength. And walking for 30 minutes a day--or for 10 minutes three times a day
--for a month repleanishes mitochondria and contractile proteins, so your body will be ready and able
to build on your fitness routine.


When you are ready to expand your exercise:

After 30 days of walking, add 10 minutes of resistance training, focusing on the large muscle groups of
your body (back, abs, quads, glutes, shoulders and harmstrings) every other day.

The next month add another 10 minutes of resistance training, hitting your remaining muscle groups
(chest, shoulders, and arms) every other day.

Congratulations! After 90 days, you'll be ready to bust out your cutest workout gear and showcase your
skills in Salsa Step or Morning Muscle Up class. Add 21 minutes of stamina-building exercise to your
routine three times a week.

Something Nice for the Hot Days

We are so close to Memorial Day. It's been pretty hot so far. We went from Winter to Summer. I'm sure some of you would appreciate a nice cool fruit salad. I will include also a vegetable salad.

My favorite salad which I have always made is as follows:

Cut up orange sections, strawberries, pineapple small chunks, mango chunks, banana slices, apples in slices,  place it in a large bowl. Make natural orange juice, when is cold pour it over the fruit. It is very nice when it's hot.









You don't want to cook then just make a nice salad. Of course add more than the picture shows. Enjoy!

Take cherry tomatoes cut them in pieces, celery in small pieces, you want a colorful salad, cut romaine lettuce, avocado cut it in slices and leave it for last to garnish your salad, whether you want black or green olives, cut them in pieces too, also cut some cucumbers in slices. You want some protein add feta cheese and some walnuts. Use olive oil, lemon and salt, or if you rather use vinaigrette. Be creative, use all the colors you want, combinations and make a great salad!

Raw Diet - Is it Important?

Raw food diet is basically something that is designed for people who want to be healthier and to live their lives longer. It is mainly composed of the uncooked and unprocessed food items. The ingredients are also organic. Meaning to say, all of which don't go through the kitchen fire. The raw foodists, or those who adhere to the consumption of nothing but the foods that are not treated with fire, believe that it is healthier to eat these as compared to those highly processed foods.

True indeed, many of the foods get drained out of their nutritive values once they are heated beyond 160 degrees Fahrenheit. The nutrients tend to disintegrate at the specific temperature.

This system of dieting somehow lessens the food choices. The 100% raw food vegans are those individuals who choose the uncooked and freshly picked vegetables and fruits for sustenance. The raw food diet is also said to be effective for weight loss since the foods which are high in carbohydrates, fats, and other fat-generating items are erased from the menu. It is through this that the unwanted weight is lost.

Apart from peeled carrots, the raw food menu broadens the choices by allowing the consumption of a variety of nuts, sprouts, seeds, celery stalks, non-fat chocolate, skim milk, blended fruits, and vegetable salads, and a lot other healthy but creatively produced meals. For the sweet tooth, smoothies and juicy fruits are recommended. Some chocolate recipes also don't need to be baked. Baking is of course more advised than frying, roasting, or grilling.

Your menu variants are not limited. You too can create your own diet menu plan. Experiment and be firm with your goal of losing weight. With raw food diet, you can have more energy, be healthier, be slimmer, and look younger.

How to Control the Food You Eat

You are what you eat. But you are also how much you eat. The plate of spaghetti
you had for dinner — what you consider as one serving — may have actually
been two, three or more servings.
Knowing and controlling portion sizes will help you eat a healthier diet, whether
you’re trying to lose weight or not. Below are examples of single servings:

Whole grains — 1 slice whole-grain bread, 1/2 small
whole-grain bagel, 1/2 whole-grain English muffin, 1/2
cup whole-grain cereal, 1/2 cup cooked whole-grain pasta
or 1/3 cup cooked brown rice

Fruits and vegetables — 1 small apple, 1/2 cup cut or
canned fruit (packed in its own juice), 1/2 cup 100 percent
fruit juice, 1 to 2 cups leafy vegetables, 1/2 cup to 1 cup
solid vegetables

Dairy products — 1 cup fat-free milk or yogurt, 2/3 cup
low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese, 1 1/2 ounces low-fat or
fat-free cheese (1 1/2 ounces equals about a pair of dice)

Lean meats, seafood or poultry — 1 1/2 ounces lean
meat (equals about a half deck of cards), 3 ounces fish or
chicken (equals about a deck of cards); 1/2 cup cooked
dried beans or legumes
