How to Get More Energy!

Do you constantly feel tired? Try these healthy tips as well as the exercise tips to get more energy!

The first thing you want to do is eat healthier snacks if you are not at this time. Skip the fatty potato chips, candy, cake, etc., and have cut up vegetables and fruit ready when you are craving a snack.

Make sure you are getting enough calcium, vitamins and minerals each day. Start reading food labels so you know how much you are getting and if it is enough.

Follow the food pyramid! If you haven’t looked at it lately, it has changed. It could help you to print a food pyramid you find online and hang it up by your refrigerator.

Get moving around! Park further from the grocery store so you have to walk further as well as your employment parking lot, take the stairs instead of the elevator and other minor things to get more daily physical movement.

Dance, fast-pace walk each day, mix it up with a bicycle ride, any exercise equipment you may have, yoga, kickboxing, etc.! Got a dog? Take your dog for a walk or jog--he/she will love you for it and you will be doing good by your beloved best friend as well. Make your exercise routine fun by changing it around.

When working out listen to music. Most people work out harder if they are listening to music that they love.

Join causes that are important to you. You can join a walk for breast cancer, run for arthritis, etc. Raise money while exercising and doing good for others!

You can join a weight loss contest like The Biggest Loser. Get Downsized Weight Loss Contest has been taking try outs for people who want to get into shape. Every Saturday you can try out for this amazing contest. Real people just like you that need to lose 80 lbs or more.

Have you tried unsuccessfully to lose weight? Many people have. Maybe you tried the dreaded cabbage diet. If you were a victim of this diet, you know that is no way to live. Cabbage soup all day long is only asking for trouble for you, your digestive system and bowel movements.

Maybe you tried losing weight with the Atkin’s diet. This is a very unhealthy diet feeding your body fatty bacon, steaks, eggs upon eggs, cheese, etc. Your heart will not appreciate this diet at all. You are also missing important vitamins in your diet when you follow the Atkin’s diet. Plus, once you quit eating the Atkin’s diet food menu, you will gain all of the weight you lost---back.

Then there is the grapefruit diet. Surely this did a number on your mouth with canker sores and your stomach with aches and pains. Grapefruit in your diet is healthy--just not as many grapefruits as you are required to eat with this diet. Plus, if you are on certain types of medications they will not work when you eat and drink grapefruit. If you are doing this diet or any other diet, make sure you consult with your physician.

Now you can try a weight loss contest that will work. So many people claim theirs will work so you may be leery. This weight loss contest really works as you will have the support you need when trying to lose 80 lbs. or more. You do not have to pay to join this contest. You will try out to be in this contest. You will find five or more sponsors to help you. Your sponsors can be family members, friends, co-workers, local businesses, etc. The goal here is that you and all of your sponsors want you to lose weight!

Not only will you lose weight, but it will happen in four week’s time! You will be doing a lot of hard work just as those in the TV show “The Biggest Loser.” Get Downsized is somewhat like The Biggest Loser.

You will learn to eat healthy and satisfying meals.

Prizes for the biggest loser!

Not only is yoga good for your body but it is also very good for your mind. If you are tired of forgetting where you place items such as your keys, yoga can help you remember. Things you need to remember will come much more easily to you. It is worth doing yoga just for this aspect!

Yoga will help to increase your awareness. Is someone giving you directions at work? You will be able to pay attention much better as well as remember them. This is very beneficial to your job duties.

Your coordination is improved with yoga. This will give you more confidence as you walk down the hallway at work, in the grocery store, inside the gas station, having to stand up in a wedding, etc.

Everyone could use a little stress relief. One of the many benefits of yoga is that it will help to relieve all of your stress. The stress hormone cannot win when you perform yoga.

Do you have high blood pressure? If so, yoga can help lower your blood pressure. You will keep your heart healthier by doing yoga.

Another one of the benefits of yoga is that it will improve your immune system. If you are tired of getting sick with colds and flus than you need to start practicing yoga to fight off all of these germs trying to infect you.

Your digestive system will thank you for performing yoga as it will help to improve it. If you have problems with anxiety, yoga is the answer. Yoga helps you if you are suffering from depression to help eliminate it or at least relieve you from it.

You can improve your lung function and in turn improve your breathing.

Kick Your Way Into Shape with Kickboxing!

One fun way to get into shape is with kickboxing. Get your aggression and stress out of your mind and body that have accumulated throughout the day. You will feel rejuvenated and proud that you worked out. You can enjoy a healthy meal and then it will be time to relax for the evening.

When you kickbox you are making your muscles stronger and more flexible by kicking, jumping and punching. Since you are constantly moving and getting a fantastic cardio workout, your heart will thank you as well as your lungs.

Kickboxing will also give you better physical strength. This is wonderful as you will also get the benefit of better balance. As we age we need to have good balance so we do not fall and break our hip. Unfortunately, once an elderly person breaks his or her hip, that is pretty much the end in most cases.

You will enjoy being more alert when you take on the exercise sport of kickboxing. This can help you with your day to day life.

When getting started with kickboxing, make sure that you do warm up stretches. Drink plenty of water so you stay hydrated. When you start with your kicks, only kick as high as you comfortably can. Do not try to kick really high or you will be sorry tomorrow as you will be extremely sore. Not to mention, you may hurt yourself. Take breaks as you are just starting out and you are not expected to make it through a full kickboxing session without resting in between.

Do not wear ankle or wrist weights as this is not necessary nor is it safe for you.

Once your 60 to 90 minute kickboxing work out is over, you will cool down for about 10 minutes with your instructor or video.

Kickboxing is something you can do every day or alternate it with your other exercises. You will keep your routine fresh! For more information on kickboxing and losing weight with Get Downsized, please visit http://www.getdownsized.com/.

Tomatoes the Super Food!

If you like tomatoes, you are going to love them after you read this. Only 10 tablespoons of tomatoes a week will help protect you from specific types of cancer. The main type of cancer that tomatoes fight off is breast cancer. Up to 50% tomatoes will fight off breast cancer. With how prevalent breast cancer is these days, this is a huge tidbit.

Remember breast cancer does happen in men as well. More women get breast cancer than men, but it is still a risk.

Tomatoes are loaded with nutrients and antioxidants!

You can eat fresh tomatoes or tomato paste. You will find the super food tomatoes in spaghetti, lasagna, bruschetta and many Italian dishes. Tomato dishes do not stop there. You may eat a BLT (bacon, lettuce and tomato), tomatoes in your salad, a slice of tomato on your tuna sandwich or any type of sandwich such as chicken, veggie sandwich with cucumbers on and a little mayonnaise, etc. Use your imagination! Remember to eat wheat or dark breads. Add a little different zip and eat your sandwich on pita bread.

Throw some fresh tomato on your pizza. The taste will liven up your pizza.

Treat yourself and your family to some fresh salsa. The salsa is very good for you, just go easy on the tortilla chips. You can also eat your salsa on a burger, add it to a tuna sandwich, use salsa instead of salad dressing, etc.

Easy Tomato Snack or Side with a Meal
Cut up tomatoes into bite size pieces. Brush a little extra virgin olive oil on them to help your heart and enjoy! You can use a low-fat, low calorie Italian Dressing instead of the EVOO on your tomatoes. The results are juicy and healthy tomatoes that your body will thank you for. You will not feel one bit guilty or overfull after eating them.

Eat up tomatoes and continue to serve them to your family for maximum health benefits! For more healthy information, please visit http://www.getdownsized.com/.
