Steps To Looking Younger Forget Low-Fat Diets Low fat everything has been the craze now for decades and look around. What has that wonderful bit of advice done for the bodies you see? Were fatter, sicker, and more addicted to sugar and carbs than any other time in history. And, were passing these habits to our kids. Fats are not to be feared – theyre to be embraced. They do not make you fat; rather, they help your body regenerate your power hormones. Testosterone, the strength hormone, for example, is the direct result of cholesterol and dietary fat intake. Thats right: Cholesterol isnt a dirty word! Your body needs dietary fat and cholesterol in order to produce ANY AND ALL vital hormones. People on low fat diets look drawn, gaunt, and weak. They are often sick, sometimes to the point of literally breaking down. And, they can never just enjoy eating out. Every meal and every gram must be accounted for. Do you really think this will make you younger? Stop Running in Circles Gym classes can be fun, if you like sitting in one place and torturing yourself. But have you noticed how little people change their bodies in these classes? Sure, its good cardio, but cardiovascular conditioning can be gained with far less time and effort. Treadmills, and any form of endurance training (especially running) does very little to help the age reversal process. Many times, these long-duration exercise bouts accelerate the aging process by increasing free radicals. These free radicals are scavengers that prey on your bodys essential nutrients and tissues. Stop Blaming Everything On How Old You Are People are not fat because they are old—theyre fat because they eat, think, and move like a fat, old, dying person! Your body doesnt own a clock. Studies have shown that men and women in their 90s were able to gain muscle tone in just a matter of weeks of simple weight training. If youre around those naysayers who are constantly talking about growing old, all their aches and pains, and how life is just down hill after 40—LEAVE! Surround yourself with positive thinkers who absolutely crave a challenge. A challenge is what keeps you YOUNG, and the best challenge there is happens to be taking control of your health and body. Avoid Chronic Dehydration Drink Your Water!Water isnt just good for you — water burns fat. Water suppresses hunger. Water renews your skin. Just drinking 12 ounces of pure water every day can take a few years off your face in a matter of weeks. Youll also drop fat, have more energy, and save your kidneys and liver from chronic overwork. Add some fresh organic lemon to the water for even more health benefits. When your kidneys are taxed from too little water, your liver has to take over. Now, get this: Your liver is your number one fat-burning organ. Do you REALLY want it processing liquids and toxins rather than BURNING FAT? No way, right? Well, grab a glass of water, and watch the mirror. Within a few weeks, the change to your face and body will be noticeable. Resistance Training Work Out If you dont work out at all, youre going to lose muscle tissue every year. That means youll get fatter and flabbier each and every year with less shape and more sag. Is this what you desire? No way, right? Well, the answer is old school resistance training. Resistance exercise is also known as strength training, and it is performed to increase the strength and mass of muscles, bone strength and metabolism. It is important for you to gain sufficient muscle strength, because it can help you perform daily activities with ease. Resistance exercise stimulates the development of small proteins in muscle cells, which will in turn enhance your muscles ability to generate force. Studies have also shown that resistance exercise may be more effective than aerobic exercise in improving body image and self esteem. One reason for this is that resistance training provides more immediate results. After training for a short period of time, you will notice that your muscles have grown and become more toned. Resistance Exercise Methods There are basically three different ways to do resistance exercises, and they are weight machines, free weights and calisthenics. When you are using weight machines, you can choose the weight you want to lift by adding or removing plates, but your movements will be dictated by the machines you use. On the other hand, free weights allow you to determine and control the position of your body when you are lifting weights. Calisthenics are performed without the use of weights, and they include exercises such as push ups, sit ups and chin ups. In these exercises, your body weight acts as the resistance force.
