The Power of Boredom
by Rae Pica
“But, Mo-o-m, there’s nothing to do!” Naturally, if free time is
something to which she’s unaccustomed, you will at first hear
numerous complaints of boredom (likely in a whining tone). Ignore
them! And don’t succumb to the temptation to let electronics
entertain her. Boredom is something today’s children are rarely
allowed to experience – because someone is always seeing to it that
they don’t have a chance!
Are you bored of your workout routine? Here are some ideas for
you. Get Fresh Air - Yes, make a trip to the outdoors. If you
are like most people, you are in doors all day long and bored
with the daily repetition. Take your lunges outside try jogging,
biking or walking. If you are a regular hitter of the pavement,
find new routes or parks.
Mother Nature’s Total Immune
Boosting Breakthroughs
By Shane "The People's Chemist"
Ellison
As a drug chemist, I used to fear going to work. I risked
numerous health hazards – like being exposed to a cancer causing
reagent and even losing my wedding ring to a chemical drain.
Cancer is bad, but having your wife feel like you are being careless
about your marriage is worse. Unknown to her, I was washing off DNA
twisting molecules that burned my skin and eyes while they vacuumed
the air from my lungs. My ring fell off somewhere between
stripping off my clothes, pulling the lab’s evacuation button, and
yanking the emergency shower cord. I naively assumed that these were
necessary risks for making so-called life saving drugs. I was wrong.

their mojo back
If you think weight loss involves just changing your diet and exercise
habits, read on. You see, while healthier food choices and fitness certainly
contribute to changing the way your body looks and feels, chronic, unmanaged
stress plays a huge role in our weight loss efforts.
By The Fit Advocate, Craig Pepin-Donat,
International Fitness Expert and Author of "The Big Fat Health
and Fitness Lie"
The top reason that people give for not exercising regularly is not having
enough time. For some reason, we can't find time to exercise for 30 minutes, but
the average home in the U.S. has a TV blaring for over seven hours, and the
average American is glued to it for over four hours per day. We are drawn to
watch TV because it is a quick and convenient escape. After a stressful day at
work, one click of the remote can immediately change our state of mind.
By The Fit Advocate, Craig Pepin-Donat,
International Fitness Expert and Author of "The Big Fat Health
and Fitness Lie"
Every year more than 70 million people resolve to lose weight by going on a
diet, which feeds the big, fat $58 billion diet and weight-loss industry. After
all the money is wasted, the cold, harsh reality is that fewer than 5 percent of
dieters will realize long-term results. The other 95 percent will regain all the
weight they lost, and then some. How can an industry survive with such a low
success rate? How can it be legal to market and sell something that has a proven
track record for failure? Now consumers have a brand new diet deception being
marketed to them backed with over $150 million in marketing to spin the
weight-loss lie.
Six Principles for Improved Health
and Lasting Weight Loss
By The Fit Advocate, Craig Pepin-Donat,
International Fitness Expert and Author of "The Big Fat Health
and Fitness Lie"
How many times have you proclaimed, "I need to go on a diet"? How many of
those diets resulted in long-term success? Not many. Millions of people are
looking for the answer to improved health and fitness, and spend billions of
dollars every year on diets and weight loss. Diets continually fail to deliver
results because no matter how compelling the underlying principles for any diet
may seem, no one can stay on a diet forever. Eventually, you will drop the diet
and go back to your normal eating habits. Typically, you not only gain back the
weight you lost, but statistics show that you will also gain additional weight.

International Fitness Expert and Author of "The Big Fat Health
and Fitness Lie"
With all the options available to help you improve the way you look and feel,
purchasing a piece of home equipment is a viable solution for those who are
disciplined enough to use it consistently. Unfortunately, most home exercise
equipment is left to collect dust because people buy the wrong equipment that
won't help them achieve their fitness goals. Slick marketing campaigns and
infomercials that use deceptive claims have tricked people into thinking that
they can achieve fast results with little effort.
How to Avoid Getting Fat During the
Holiday Season
By The Fit Advocate, Craig
Pepin-Donat, International Fitness Expert and Author of "The Big
Fat Health and Fitness Lie"
The holiday season is among the experiences in life that almost guarantee to
increase calorie consumption and lead you down the pound-packing path. If your
goal is to avoid gaining weight needlessly, it is important to be aware of
situations where you are more than likely to over indulge and stray from your
normal eating habits. These events include vacations, travel, parties,
relationship breakups, a job change, colds, moving or just about any situation
that takes you out of your normal daily routine or involves stress.
By The Fit Advocate, Craig Pepin-Donat,
International Fitness Expert and Author of "The Big Fat Health
and Fitness Lie"
If history has taught us anything, it is that when a business concept
exhibits the potential for growth, companies and industries spread like a virus
to expand and exploit the opportunity. From the meager beginnings of
muscle-bound body builders, steel barbells, medicine balls and once-a-day
vitamins, the health and fitness industry has transformed into a multi-billion
dollar juggernaut. Health and fitness professionals have evolved from spandex
and headbands to being highly trained sales and marketing snipers and your cash
is their target.
