Daily quote: “Exercise helps you lose and control weight in two ways. First, by raising your metabolism, you burn more calories. Second, by building muscle, which requires more energy to maintain, you use even more calories. Exercise promotes better elimination and circulation that helps cleanse the body!” -Paul Bragg
“Breathing deeply, fully and completely energizes the body, calms the nerves, fills you with peace and helps you stay young.” -Paul Bragg
A very important part of a healthy lifestyle is exercising your body correctly and consistently and practicing deep breathing. These keys are added, of course, to a good diet and a healthy diet. Let me emphasize that the starting point for improving your health and losing the unhealthy weight is to start eating whole, organic, living, healthy foods and stop eating man-made, processed, dead, denatured, packaged, and unhealthy “foods.” healthy foods that are loaded with toxins, unhealthy fats, sugars, salt, and excit0-toxins. In other words, first focus on creating a healthy, nutritious diet that sustains your body and provides it with the nutrition it needs to function properly, then add healthy daily exercise and deep breathing.
A few years ago, when I was trying to improve my health and lose weight, I first completely transformed my diet and eating habits. I quickly began to lose weight and enjoy better health. However, my weight loss slowly came to a halt after I lost about 15 pounds. I couldn’t figure out why until I realized I wasn’t exercising.
As soon as I started exercising daily something changed in my body and I started to keep losing more weight. I now believe that “something” was my metabolism changing from a slow metabolism to a higher metabolism. In other words, because I had added regular exercise to my body and routine, my metabolism sped up and adjusted to burn fat more efficiently and stop storing fat like before. This change had a huge impact on my weight loss and personal fitness. Not only did I lose another 10-12 pounds, but I got in better physical shape.
Regular exercise can benefit your body in many ways. First, exercise helps break stress and tension and helps release it from the body. Stress is negative energy that wears down your body, but exercise allows it to leave the body. Second, exercise increases oxygen to the cells, which is necessary for life and vitality. Third, exercise stimulates every cell in the body to help eliminate toxic waste. Each cell produces its own toxic waste and each cell needs stimulation to eliminate that toxic waste and stay healthy. Fourth, exercise increases the movement of lymphatic fluid in the body, which is an important factor in the process of eliminating toxins. Most people’s lymphatic systems are dangerously sluggish and clogged, and moving the body through exercise helps get the lymph fluid moving. Fifth, exercise opens channels in the body to help electromagnetic energy flow freely and unimpeded. This energy gives life to the cells of the body, but it must not be blocked or congested in order for it to flow freely through the body and do its job of energizing the cells of the body.
5-STEP WORKOUT FOR FITNESS AND WEIGHT LOSS
I’d like to share with you the 5-step exercise routine I used to help me get over the rut and lose even more weight, as well as get more physically fit. I encourage you to follow my lead and start implementing a daily exercise route that includes these 5 steps. One of the keys to my exercise routine was to include consistent aerobic and anaerobic exercise every day.
One of the main reasons I had gained weight was that my metabolism had slowed down. When I was younger, I could eat almost anything without gaining weight because I had a fast metabolism. However, once I hit my forties my metabolism really slowed down and I started to gain quite a bit of weight because I wasn’t eating the right foods and not exercising. There are certain glands and organs in the body (such as the thyroid, pancreas, liver, stomach, small and large intestines, and colon) that regulate how well the body burns food for fuel and how it also converts food into stored fat. When some of these glands and organs are clogged or sluggish or not working properly, a person’s metabolism slows down and they begin to convert more and more food into fat instead of fuel.
What are the two main reasons for a slow metabolism? The first major cause of a slow metabolism is the amount of toxins you are putting into your body. Most of these toxins enter your body through what you eat and drink, in other words, through an unhealthy diet. These toxins include artificial food additives, chemical residues used in growing food that are transferred into your body, artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, and excitotoxins such as monosodium glutamate, prescription and over-the-counter medications, as well as toxins in the water supply, like fluoride. and chlorine. These are toxins that slow your metabolism, which in turn causes your body to store energy from food as fat.
The second main cause of a slow metabolism is a low amount of muscle in your body and a lack of regular walking exercise. The more muscle your body has, the higher your metabolism will be. Unfortunately, most Americans have an abnormally low amount of muscle on their bodies, which means they don’t burn calories as efficiently as they could. In addition, the lack of walking exercise significantly reduces a person’s metabolism. The human body is designed for walking, and when a person stops walking daily, their metabolism adjusts and begins to slow down.
KEY I – Take a quick “POWER WALK”
every day in the sun for 30-60 minutes. Your body was designed to walk. Walking every day will help you lose weight and stay lean because it gives your body the kind of exercise it needs and because it will help reset your metabolism by speeding it up to burn fat more efficiently and stop storing energy fuel as fat. . The common denominator of skinny, skinny people around the world is that they walk more than 5 miles per day, while the typical American walks just a tenth of a mile per day. Remember, don’t just take a slow, casual “walk” in the park. A brisk walk means you have to walk briskly with effort so your heart and lungs have to work harder. If you wish, you can combine the walk with a bit of jogging. I would recommend that you use your 30-60 minute walk to pray, meditate, or listen to uplifting music on your iPod. After you get into the habit of taking your daily walk, your body will crave and look forward to this activity every day. It will not be hard work, but a joy and a pleasure. Oh, I almost forgot. Don’t do your mighty walk on busy streets that are full of toxic poisonous gases from cars, buses and trucks. Find a calm and quiet place like a local park where you can breathe fresh, clean air.
KEY II – Practice DEEP BREATHING EXERCISES
to increase oxygen in the lungs and body. Most people don’t breathe deep enough to boost their metabolism and fat-burning ability. You can do this throughout the day, but be sure to do it especially while you’re taking your power walk. Learn to start breathing very deeply, from your belly, up through your lungs, filling your lungs with more and more oxygen. Normally I breathe very shallowly; however, by practicing deep breathing exercises, I have been able to increase the amount of oxygen in my lungs, which has had an effect on my entire body. I would recommend that you practice deep breathing throughout the day. Write the words “Breathe Deep” on a small index card and post it in front of your desk or computer and in your car as an hourly reminder.
KEY III – LIFTING SMALL WEIGHTS
every other day to increase your muscle strength. Get a set of 3- or 5-pound dumbbells to start. After several months, you may gain weight by 3 to 5 pounds or 5 to 10 pounds. Develop some simple lifting routines to work the various muscles in your upper body. Keep track of how many reps you do, and then try to increase that every day. When I first started doing this, I actually combined my little weight lifting routine with a little stepping to work my lower body as well. You can find a small stepper machine at your local sporting goods store. It’s a little 1 foot by 1 foot machine that you stand on and go up and down. It has small hydraulic pumps that create resistance so that you have the feeling that you are climbing stairs. I recommend that you do this in conjunction with your weight lifting routine so that you are working out both your upper and lower body. Start by slowly lifting weights every other day for about 10 minutes and then slowly increase that time until you are doing this for 20-30 minutes a day. Remember, only lift weights every other day, not every day because your muscles need time to rest and rebuild. You’ll be amazed at the difference 20 minutes a day of light weight lifting will make for your body.
KEY IV – Wear a “REBOUNDER” for 5-10 minutes a day.
A trampoline is a mini-trampoline about 4 feet in diameter, on which you gently bounce up and down. Doing this allows you to simultaneously stimulate and strengthen every cell in your body, stimulate your lymphatic system, and increase your metabolism. It is also very effective for weight loss.
KEY V – DAILY SEXUAL EXERCISE.
Enjoy the pleasure of vigorous sex with your spouse every day. Start incorporating sexual exercise into your daily exercise routine, but don’t make it a routine. Keep it creatively spiced with variety. Several studies have shown that vigorous daily sex burns fat and improves health. If you don’t believe me, try it. It’s fun, it’s free, and it feels fantastic!
