5 More Fitness Myths That Won't Go Away...

5 More Fitness Myths That Won't Go Away...

You may know these are myths, but I spend quite a bit of time with clients dispelling them.  Read and see if you have "bought in" to any of these in the past or at present.

Study: A Calorie is Just a Calorie, But When You Eat it is Important, Too

Study: A Calorie is Just a Calorie, But When You Eat it is Important, Too

Although there are other factors to take into account (am I not eating enough throughout the day which causes me to over-eat later, quality of foods eaten, etc.) this is still an important component to consider for all of us, especially for weight loss and maintaining a balanced blood sugar level throughout the day which affects energy level.

Happiness . . .

It may be subjective, but happiness is beneficial for risk of illness, survival of illness and longevity.
Perhaps more importantly, a sense of happiness will allow life to be more enjoyable compared to less happy people.
How do we become happier?  Exercise is a "quick fix" for happiness as even a single bout of activity can improve mood.  Taking in good experiences  defeats the brain's tendency to be negative and allows us to feel more confident.  Mental activity such as meditation reshapes the brain and helps us focus on the positive.  "Dwell" on positive experiences for 30 seconds and offset the inclination to remember negative experiences.
May you enjoy this week of "love" and be happy always.
