Fitness Champion Elizabeth Sparks recently had some kinds words to say about The Work Horse “most of my training consist of body weight exercises and so many women always ask me how can they get the benefits of pull-ups? Now I have an answer for them, I think The Work Horse is great combination to add to your aerobic workout. Thank you Elizabeth! I also wanted to let you know about two things that can help you with upper back ...

When its Your Health

2010-03-05T17:44:00Z

Think about it, when you have a headache does the aspirin or pain medication address the cause of the problem or does it simply deaden or block your body’s ability to feel pain? The same with arthritis, does the medication your doctor gives you address what is causing all the pain and discomfort? Or does it merely block the pain receptors? These are the types of questions you need to be asking your doctor, because it is your health. Think about the different approaches ...

Losing Weight is Not a Math Equation

2010-02-23T18:01:00Z

One of the biggest mistake that people run into at no fault of their own, but there is a lot of mis-information, is that all you have to lose weight is burn more calories than you eat each day. They have condensed your weight loss issue into a simple math equation, which would be great, but there are other variable that are often overlooked.

It seems like the so-called experts have forgotten that it is more important to burn calories from stored body fat than it is to simply burn calories. You can burn calories ...

Pull-ups...why they are important for you

2010-02-17T12:26:00Z

Push-ups and pull-ups have long been considered the two best exercises you can do to train your upper body. The reason for that is these two exercises target every major muscle group of your upper body. You’d be surprised as to how good of shape you can get into when you only perform these two exercises. Ask anyone who has gone through ‘boot camp’ and see what kind of shape they are in? Ask them what exercises they did? When you do push-ups or any type of pushing movement like a bench press you target your chest, ...

Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 I thought this would be a good time to write about childhood immunity and what we can do to help them overcome their malady, since my little girl caught something the other day. For kids or adults the name of the game is to ‘strengthen your body’s natural immune system’ so that it can kill-off the bad germs that have found a susceptible or weakened immune system. Remember germs are all around us…they look for susceptible individuals to survive and thrive in…so the stronger your immune system ...

Fatigue, Weight Gain and Cravings Tied to Stress

2010-02-01T20:50:00Z

Have you ever wondered or asked why these three major problems all seem to show up together? Or did you even know that these three problems usually come as a group? The reason for that is quite simple and obvious when you think about it. The problem is that your metabolism is burning the wrong fuel! Simply put your body burns calories from on of three areas. It burns calories by breaking down either protein, carbs or fats. That’s the only way the human body can generate energy. The over-lapping problem is that ...

Detox and Cleansing for the New Year

2010-01-26T18:59:00Z

It’s the start of the New Year and the one thing that I like to talk about right now is cleansing and detoxifying your body of all the ‘gunk’ that has built up over the year or the last time you did a good cleanse. I usually do a good cleanse twice a year….for me I like doing one after the Super Bowl and again after the 4th of July.

Think of a good cleanse like flushing out your radiator, oil filter of your car, or changing your air filter in your house. ...

It's a New Year...Let's Get Started

It has been a while since I last wrote and I want to apologize for that, but there has been lots of reasons for that, which I won't get into, but It's a new year there are a lot of new things happening that we should all be excited about.

The first thing I need to share with many of you in case you haven’t heard is that I will no longer be working with NatraTech or providing the ...

Food Allergies on the Rise

2009-11-17T21:31:00Z

A new study coming out in the December issue of Pediatric came out stating the food allergies are on the rise for children. It says that more children are having difficulty with allergies, but they are not quite sure why. They speculate it could be a result of simply doing a better job of tracking the number of kids with allergies. One problem I have with the study is that they only want to look at allergies as being full blown, immediate reaction types of allergies from a pickle or whatever food they suspect. Traditional medicine completely wants ...

How Healthy Is Your Gut?

2009-11-10T20:57:00Z

This past weekend I was visiting some friends and as were playing with his son’s video game I saw a Star Wars Poster that had many slogans from the original three movies, but there was one slogan that caught my eye. It said, "if it smells bad on the outside – it’s worse on the inside." I wish I could recall when that line was said, but be that as it may. The phrase has lots of meaning, especially when you are talking about how well your digestive system is functioning. Remember you are ...

The Pat on the Back

2009-11-04T22:40:00Z

There is nothing better than having someone verbally "pat you on the back." It doesn’t matter what the pat on the back is for…we just know that it makes you feel good, lifts you up and boosts your spirit. It would be great if we all had someone give us a verbal ‘pat on the back’ every day, unfortunately that’s not the case. Some of you may go all day, week or even all month before someone gives you that verbal "pat on the back," which is unfortunate, because many of us need those little words of encouragement. Those ...

Diet and Exercise Stops Diabetes

2009-10-29T16:24:00Z

Another new study just came out saying what we have known for the longest time. The study published in the Lancet talks about how diabetes can be reduced and eliminated with proper diet and exercise. The study showed how diet and exercise works better than the most popular diabetes drug. Unfortunately most people don’t get that message clearly from their health care provider. With over 24 million people diagnosed with diabetes and another 57 million people struggling with excessively high blood sugar…an epidemic is coming along with all the other complications that come from diabetes including heart disease, blindness ...

Help for Cancer

2009-10-06T15:38:00Z

If you were watching professional football this past weekend you saw a lot of promotion for breast cancer awareness. Players were wearing pink shoes, hats, armbands and various other paraphernalia associated with breast cancer. I think awareness is huge in fighting this and any other cancer, autoimmune or degenerative diseases that are plaguing our nation. The only problem I have with this and many of the other ‘awareness’ campaign’s out there are they spend too little time, effort or money with the root of the problem. Most of the donations are spent on various cures and medications, which ...

Physical Activity for Illness Recovery

2009-09-23T15:38:00Z

A new study is coming out of John Hopkins Hospital showing that exercise or physical activity is important in helping critical ill patients. The study shows how the school of thought, which is bed rest for critical ill patients, may not be the best treatment plan. The study basically shows how those who simply began walking, while still in the hospital helped their recovery. We are not talking about lacing up our tennis shows and going for a jog. We are simply speaking about getting out of bed and begin to move our body…for as little ...
