Liver Fat

How to live a healthy life

It certainly is an audacious undertaking to try and craft a guide that can provide a substantial answer for this timeless debate. I am however up to the challenge. I must first concede however that I by no means am a perfect example and no matter how long you scour the continents I do not believe anyone on earth is perfect enough to answer all the aspects of this question. That being said let us proceed.

For brevity sake, I am going to assume that for the casual reader “healthy” refers to physical health mainly. In this case there is one area which I believe is the true source of health, and that is nutrition. Nutrition is the greatest weapon we have at our disposal and it is my firm belief that even if one was to be out of shape physically, a healthy diet would still allot for a significant amount of health. At its core, food is the fuel, the very thing from which we can draw nutrients and energy from. It also happens to be a part of your lifestyle you have direct control over.

A healthy life is one that simply pays homage and respect to the amazing vessel that is your body. Think for a moment how many infections it wards off every day. How new skin is shed and regenerated. How it replaces itself constantly. The body is an amazing entity and as such it deserves the very best when it comes to what you throw into it. A healthy lifestyle is one that avoids extremes that take their toll on the body like excess caffeine, alcohol, sugar, and processed food.

I am not going to go into nutrient specific advice on a healthy life in that I believe most people know what works for them. If the goal is fat loss or muscle gain then it is another story, but as far as basic fuel requirements for the human body, I think we can all agree that a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and natural meats is a nice place to start. Take some time and use the power of the internet to see just how amazing foods can be in the fight against diseaseCinnamon to treat diabetes, fish oil to lose fat, apples to reduce inflammation, green tea to reduce risks for cancer. It is incredible what is out there!

My friends and I once had to develop a definition of healthy living for a class and this is was the compromise.

“The individual who leads a healthy life avoids that which poisons their body. Artificial concoctions such as high fructose corn syrup and partially hydrogenated oil do not have a place in this individual’s food. They take the stairs whenever possible. They try to view food not only as a means of pleasure but also as the very thing which powers them. The healthy lifestyle begins and ends with the deep respect and love for the most sacred of physical forms, our own”.

Yes, I realize that borders a bit on the naturopath-psycho regime but the truth is a healthy lifestyle is very simple. We have muscles, use them. We love foods, do not abuse them. We all have consciences that guide us to make moral decisions, we also, in my own opinion, instinctively know which foods are bad for us. Just like in Poker, maybe we are not all dealt pocket aces when it comes to health, but the pot can be won with any hand. Adhere to what we know inside of us as the means to health, and we give ourselves the best chance to live the best we can.

You can live a healthy lifestyle and only sacrifice about 30 minutes per day. I’m not talking about becoming a professional athlete here. I am just talking about how to keep your weight under control and just be in general good health.

You must have the self discipline to eat right and exercise to have a healthy body. These days there are many good tasting low fat and fat free foods you can find. There are also low calorie foods and food packaged in low calories packages. Generally speaking women should eat 1500 calories per day and men 2000 calories per day. Once you get the hang of counting calories, it is fairly easy to do.

You can exercise in 30 minutes per day. I am going to suggest that you do some weight lifting and calisthenics 3 days per week. You can do a lot weightlifting and calisthenic exercises in 30 minutes per day.

You could use some fancy machine like a Bow-Flex or Nautilus machines to exercise. Some people prefer to use barbells and free weights. Personally I simply use dumbbells. The secret to weight training is the more weight you use the stronger you get. If you want to “sculpt”, use less weight and do more repetitions. It is VERY important that you do not use too much weight. You could seriously hurt yourself.

To stay in general good health I simply recommend using dumbbells and maybe some type of simple resistance training. Also don’t forget the calisthenics. The most popular ones include push ups, sit ups, jumping jacks and leg lifts.

I suggest that you take at the remaining 4 days and walk. You should walk about 30 minutes per day. You should be able to walk 1 1/2 to 2 miles in that time. If the weather is bad use a treadmill or exercise bike. I realize that not everyone can afford exercise equipment so I suggest an exercising video. There are some good ones out there, personally I think Leslie Sansone’s Walk Away the Pounds videos are very good.

It is important that you get in a routine so it becomes a habit as to what you eat and when you exercise. Also don’t get discouraged. I mentioned that you should be able to walk about 1 1/2 to 2 miles in 30 minutes, maybe you can’t do that but just get out and do the best you can. The important thing is that you are being active and getting some exercise. I remember about 25 years ago when I decided that I was going to start running, I got up and ran 1/4 mile and I thought it was going to kill me. I continued to run every morning and gradually built up to 1 mile…in 9 minutes. I kept improving and after a couple of years I entered a 1 mile run on July 4. I finished 13th out of about 60 in 6:33! I couldn’t believe I had run that fast.

Set up a program and stick with it, you will have success.

MAINTAINING HEALTHY KIDNEYS & LIVER

Internal organs need to be healthy in order to function properly. The kidneys have 100 functioning operations and the liver has 500.

Belly fat, you don’t want it, you can’t hide it… and no matter what you do, you can’t seem to get rid of it! And when you want to lose belly fat fast, nothing seems to work fast enough.

I’m going to share with you the “Triple Attack” to lose belly fat fast. I’ll tell you what you need to hear, (not necessarily what you want to hear), to lose belly fat fast… and get rid of those love handles and that beer belly once and for all!

So if you’re willing to hear the truth about losing fat fast, and do something about it, you can develop the washboard six pack, flat stomache, lean abdominals you’ve always wanted… absent of the belly fat that has been keeping you from performing, feeling and looking your best!

The Triple Attack To Lose Belly Fat Fast!

Many of you have tried endless abdominal exercises, exercise fads and equipment in search for the six pack look… only to end up tired and frustrated with muscles hidden by layers of fat. Others have tried reduced calories diets to lose belly fat… and even after all the sacrifices, ending up with more belly fat than when you started. It seems like a hopeless cause.

The reason… losing belly fat cannot be accomplished, (for most), by the exclusive use of either exercise or diet. As a matter of fact you need a triple attack to lose belly fat fast!

Your belly fat is a RESULT of your workout program, nutrition plan and lifestyle… so to reduce belly fat you must CHANGE what you do, what you eat and how you live.

It IS as simple as that!

To lose belly fat fast you must…

- burn belly fat through exercise…
- lose belly fat through proper diet…
- avoid belly fat through healthy lifestyle.

And yes, you must do all three if you want to lose belly fat fast… no “can I do only one” or “there has to be an easier way”. And no, there aren’t any super fat loss pills or magic potions you can take to lose belly fat fast.

I told you it might not be what you want to hear!

Belly Fat Attack #1… Lose Belly Fat Fast Through Exercise

In order to get rid of that embarrassing belly fat… you must exercise to burn fat.

I know what your thinking… “I tried that, and it didn’t work!” And you’re right… most exercise programs won’t significantly help you lose belly fat fast. You must combine resistance training to build muscle, intense cardio to burn calories and targeted ab exercise to firm and tighten your mid-section and stomach area.

Only be combining all three methods of exercise will you begin to build the body that will drive belly fat into extinction. Because after all, this type of exercise does not just destroy belly fat… it exposes a lean, muscular athletic physique under the fat!

But no amount of exercise will make up for a poor diet, so…

Belly Fat Attack #2… Lose Belly Fat Fast Through Proper Diet

In order to expose the firm, tight core you develop through exercise… your nutrition plan and diet must aid fat loss.

Oh no, I said the 4 letter word “diet”. By “diet” I don’t mean those restrictive calorie diets you tried before… only to end up with more belly fat than when you started. As a matter of fact… don’t try to starve yourselves!

Don’t focus on what you can’t eat… focus on how you should eat to make belly fat a distant memory. Eat properly, embrace healthy eating habits and improve metabolism… and the belly fat will come off!

If you’ve been paying attention so far, you would have realized I have changed the classic axiom of “Exercise More, Eat Less” to “Exercise Better, Eat Better”!

But exercise and diet are not the only things you can do to lose belly fat fast…

Belly Fat Attack #3… Lose Belly Fat Fast Through Healthy Lifestyle

There is more to life than exercise and diet… your body is a dynamic organism, reacting and adapting to all outside and inside influences. Therefore, don’t sabotage your exercise and diet efforts with an unhealthy lifestyle and low self image. Drinking, smoking, stress, poor sleeping habits, low self image, etc. all effect your body and can contribute to the accumulation of belly fat.

Getting rid of excess belly fat can actually lower high blood pressure… a major health risk. Reduce stress, and you create an environment where belly fat fails to thrive. Last, but certainly not least, improve self image to ensure long term leanness… and you’ll keep the bell fat off forever.

The Triple Attack To Lose Belly Fat Fast works… but exactly how it is applied by each individual will be unique to that individual. While there is probably room for improvement in all the areas of exercise, diet and lifestyle… there is usually one area that is more of a problem than the others. To start seeing RESULTS for your efforts faster… focus on your biggest problem area first!

Change what you do (effective fat loss workout), what you eat (a healthy diet) and how you live (habits that support your diet and exercise) and you WILL lose belly fat fast.
