What are you possessing for 2009?

Posted by NATASHA Your Wellness Informant on January 1, 2009 at 12:39am

Leave disease and illness in 2008, renew your mind daily on The Well-Side.For many years I suffered with several illnesses and was told that it was normal. Then I realized the importance of food and how it can heal the body. I released my ownership of disease and illness and decided to choose Wholeness. I can hear my body more clearly; I make better choices, and live with the respect of self and others.So I ask you, “What are you possessing?” On this last day of 2008 make the choice to renew your Total Body-Consciousness daily by making choices that add to you.You no longer have to live a life where food is your enemy.Tips to come to The Well-SideAche or pain - find the root cause of the issue before using medication to mask the symptom.Proactive - ask questions when you visit your care provider, know your body, never take possession of a diagnosis, seek options to make an informed choice to eradicate the cause of the illness.Self-Love – respect yourself enough to get the proper rest (no just sleeping), take time to spend alone to meditate/pray, be honest with yourself and others, know when and how to say “NO!”Leave the baggage behind – let go of foods you know are not working for you. Stop trying to convince yourself that this is the last time, find an alternative.Recreate – if you do not like your reflection change it. Stop receiving how others define you and create yourself for who you are (Be-come who you desire to BE). You make your own reality.Exercise – do it. Start small and increase but get started. Walk, jump rope, roller skate, run, play with your children, too many options for excuses.If you do not make these changes for yourself think of those who love and care for you, do it for them. Why shorten your life when you can live a long abundant life.“Total Body-Consciousness possess yours in 2009”Say this until you begin to live it “Wellness is Mine in 2009!”

HEALTH BENEFITS OF LOSING WEIGHT

Posted by Healthy and Fit 4 Life on October 9, 2008 at 5:14pm

by Kimberly Dawn WellsMost people would agree that maintaining a healthy weight is beneficial to their health, but would you guess that just losing 5-10 pounds could cut your risk of many diseases by 25%, 35%, or even 50% or more? Extra body fat affects your body chemistry, posture, and even how other organs communicate with each other. The following conditions can be improved or even reversed through healthy weight loss.Heart diseaseA multitude of related illnesses are commonly seen in overweight individuals. Poor diet leads to high cholesterol levels, which leads to arteriosclerosis, which leads to high blood pressure and increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. All five diseases can be greatly improved with just a 10-15 percent weight loss.Sleep apneaA disturbance caused by an upper airway blockage, sleep apnea is common in overweight individuals due to enlarged airway anatomy that can become closed during sleep. Losing weight can result in more restful sleep and more stable oxygen levels.DiabetesOverweight individuals are twice as likely to develop type 1 or 2 diabetes than people who maintain a healthy weight. Diabetes itself, besides being a bother to your diet and lifestyle, comes with many of its own serious health consequences that at their worst include blindness and loss of extremities due to amputation.Arthritis and goutA heavier frame means more weight to carry around, which can be a strain for aging muscles and joints. Weight loss that allows you to be more mobile can result in better blood flow, better flexibility, and a higher level of physical independence as you age.CancersWhile many cancers are not directly linked to being overweight, the chances of being diagnosed with cancer are higher for overweight individuals. This is due to both the extra weight and the lack of nutrients that may accompany a poor diet.Emotional benefitsWhen you look good, you feel good. Losing weight can be a powerful tool in restoring the self esteem that many people lose when they begin to gain weight. Besides feeling better about how you look, losing weight through exercise releases feel-good hormones into your blood stream, which further boosts your mood and confidence.Increased energyThe less weight you have to drag around, the more energy you will have. Just getting started with an exercise routine is often enough to kick-start your energy into an upward spiral of exercise, more energy, more exercise, further weight loss, more energy, etc.Weight loss in overweight individuals translates to a lot more than just a decrease in high blood pressure and risk of disease. Losing just a few extra pounds can create total-body benefits that are seen both immediately and in the future. If you are overweight and considering your need to lose weight, this list of moderate to serious health problems gives you several good reasons to take action and start making changes today.If you are ready to start living a healthier lifestyle, visit my page and send me a message or comment.

The Path to Success Starts with Education!

Posted by Ginger Jones on August 26, 2008 at 12:30am

The path to success begins with education.Education increases understanding; Understanding creates compliance; Compliance brings forth results.Results equal success.I have 5 lbs to go to reach my goal weight. I should be happy, right??? WRONG! I have to lose 5 lbs of fat. Do you have any idea how hard it is to target body fat???I bet you don't. Fat is a stored energy source. Fat is used as a last resort, just in case something crazy happens and we run out of other preferred sources of energy (carbohydrates).I kind of liken it to getting clothes out of your closet vs getting clothes out of storage--it's alot easier to walk over to your closet and pick out an outfit, rather than searching through the clothes you've stored away and picking out an outfit.It can be quite difficult to rid our bodies of excess fat.Find out why here.

Check out the Transitions Lifestyle System.Transitions Weight Management System, based on science, educates and enables you to reach your target weight successfully.Join our community and learn:-Why calorie restriction can have detrimental effects on your long term weight management goals (How many times has Kirstie Alley been through Jenny Craig???)-Why your fitness routine must be personalized to optimize your weight loss goals-The difference between qualitative calories and quantitative calories (How can a salisbury steak and a piece of cheesecake be the same amount of points???)Transitions is a comprehensive lifestyle system that targets body composition and metabolism and utilizes the latest in science and technology to help you achieve your weight loss goals and be healthy!Our plan doesn't focus just on food like many other systems. (Click here to request a Weight System Comparison). The Transitions Lifestyle System™ provides a total-system approach that promotes healthy food choices, behavior modification and fitness plans.Wish me luck.

Everything's BIG in Texas!

Posted by Ginger Jones on August 4, 2008 at 1:54am

Ok, so my 20 year old son decided he would fix dinner tonight--Spaghetti, Salad and Texas Toast. I know most of you are wondering how I can have a 20 year-old son, when I'm only 25, but that's another story for a different day....Anyhow, I am a Weight Management Consultant. Well, that's one of the hats I wear. I am happy to say that I've helped many reach and maintain their optimum weight through Transitions, my company's weight management system.I decided that this year would be the year for me to lose those last terrible 10.So, our dinner tonight wasn't too bad: spaghetti sauce, minimal carbs; angel hair pasta, cooked al dente, medium carb content; salad--no carbs; Texas Toast--CARB COUNT OF THE CHARTS!!!!Have any of you ever had Texas Toast? If you have, then you know you can't open the freezer and look at it and not end up stuffing your face with it within 5 minutes.But, does it have to be sooo decadent????This is how it's described on the Pepperidge Farm website (Pepperidge Farm--need I say more?) "Thick, melt-in-your-mouth toast is topped with herbs and garlic or cheese. Sinfully-rich slices heat up in your oven in just 5 minutes". Who can resist THAT??? Then they have the nerve to post the nutrition information!Texas Toast GarlicNutrition Facts*Amount per Serving (serving size) = 1SliceCalories 150 Sugars 1gTotal Fat 7g Protein 3gSat. Fat 2gTrans Fat 3g % Daily Values**Cholesterol 0mg Vitamin A 0%Sodium 190mg Vitamin C 0%Total Carb. 18g Calcium 0%Dietary Fiber 2g Iron 6%Seven grams of fat and 18 grams of carbs in 1 slice of bread (who eats just one). And 150 calories--but, fortunately, we focus on fat loss; we don't count calories! ;~)Being a Weight Management Consultant, I am privy some of the tricks of the trade that can keep some of the food I eat from clinging to these hips of mine. Here are three quick tips for my fellow Texas Toast lovers out there:1) Drink an 8 ounce glass of warm lemon water first thing in the morning. This aids your gall bladder in processing fat.2) Eat a salad (or any raw veggies) before your main meals. This will slow down the digestive process and minimize the conversion of glucose to fat.3) Break up your main meals. You've probably heard this before, but eating smaller more frequent meals really does help to improve the body's metabolism.Unfortunately, there are no quick tips to help my with my love of Texas Toast. I'll probably have to take care of Texas Toast the old-fashioned way and work it off!Ginger Jones, NCBusiness Development

Posted by Joan Gilchrist on June 6, 2008 at 7:12am

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." ......Self Esteem Builds BusinessJoanie
