Fit-Notes For The New Year By Wade Yoder Master Trainer & Fitness Nutrition Specialist 1* Our body naves: Clean air, water, balanced diet, sunshine, activity, rest, less stress, and connection to others. These basics help build good health, recovery, and preventative medicine within your own body 2. Fat and mucous help shield us from toxins: Detoxing helps with weight loss and helps keep these toxins from aging us while we're shedding fat. Eat plenty of fiber while detoxing and losing weight, or the toxins will reabsorb into your system. Fiber helps drag toxins out through your waste, 3 Sugar makes you fatter than fat: Your body has to pull ex cess sugar from your blood that you’re not burning, and it will store the extra in your fat cells. 4. Your body is made up with a completely new generation of cells every year: Your lifestyle habits pretty much dictate their revitalization or deterioration. 5. When trying to find out which exercise program is best for you, look to your lifestyle specific needs: When we know ex actly what we arc wanting (whether it’s weight loss, strength- ening. building, cardiopulmonary conditioning, or a combina tion of the above), all we have to do is add in the program that works best for us and fits into our life. We are not designed to fit in a shoe that doesn’t fit, and just like shoes that don’t fit properly we will not use thorn as regularly as ones that have a feel-good fit. 6. A shrinking of muscle decreases physical capabilities, in creased muscle and tone increases capability: Regular activity tones and conditions the muscles to continue handling this level of stress, 7. We have free fat burners available: 1. Temporary calorie re striction causes your body to release calories from fat cells (each pound has approximately 3500 calories). 2. Our body bums calo ries (units of heat) to keep us warm, in this same way, drinking cold water will burn calories. 3. Our body burns a lot of calories when we eat foods that break down slower vs, foods that turn to a starchy or sugary mush as soon as we eat them. 8. Instead of treating inflammation, how ’bout we get rid of the aggr avation that is causing the inflammation. Inflammation is actually a part of the healing process, hut if not turned off, will continue festering until it turns into a diseased condition. Get rid of the aggravation, you then get rid of the inflammation, which dries out the chronic diseased condition. 9. Antidepressants arc known to give people suicidal thoughts: Have you tried healthy diet and exercise? 10. Supplements are gap fillers: Knowing what gaps you're try ing to fill can save you money and keep your body from having to detox itself from things it doesn’t need. 11. Instability in exercise (free weights and bodyweight exer cises) helps us with greater stability in real life. Machines do not do much in strengthening our stabilizer muscles. 12. Pushups, squats, and planks are some of the best exercises you can do at home. Your body is your universal gym. And BTW, we should practice getting up from the floor more often; it exer cises most of your body's muscles when you do this. 13. Heart disease and cancer are the leading killers: The lead ing cause of heart disease and cancer is lifestyle. 14. Green leafy vegetables help gives us clearer vision: They contain large amounts of the eye’s favorite antioxidants (lutein and zeaxanthin). 15. There is a bonus payout on jobs that require manual labor: You get to exercise on the job and probably have better health than the average person who sits behind a desk (especially ones who do not exercise), 18. Pain pills are blinders of fact: They desensitize us to a body part that is screaming out in pain. It’s like putting earmuffs on when your child is screaming and acting like everything is okay because you can’t hear anything. Wrap it, support it, massage it, cool it, being nice to your hurting body part helps heal it. 17, If health seems to be getting offtrack: Start a food, hydra tion, activity, and sleep journal. 18, Buy produce, as much as you can, from people you know: When they grow foods for their own consumption, you can trust it much more than produce that comes through food market lo gistics. 19, Up and down movement is what stimulates the flow of lymph fluid in our lymphatic system: This is a big part of our waste removal system and much of our immune system. Jumping jacks, trampoline, most free weight, and bodyweight exercises that cause intense muscle contractions will help move lymph fluid upwards, as well. If someone is fighting cancer, adding in re bounding (small trampoline) should help strengthen the fight. 20, All disease begins in the gut: If we have digestive problems, we should get to the bottom of it as soon as possible. Antibiotics are anti-gut health; probiotic rich foods are pro gut health. If you need to take antibiotics, eat probiotic rich foods, and take a probiotic supplement to restore gut and digestive health. 21. We should research for what’s causing things instead of trying to cure them. 22. When your body is fighting the flu, lighten up on the foods you eat (soups and broths) this will let more energy go to your immune system, instead of digestion, 23. Don’t let easy access to medicine sway you from personal responsibility, this access could dwindle (insurance companies don’t like losing all the money that was paid in). I hope your Christmas and 2024 will be a really happy and healthy one for you and your family! (To contact Wade Yoder, please go to ivww.wadeyoder.com.)
