Have you ever experienced days when you felt that you did not have the energy to do what you needed to do? You look at your children‚ see how active they are and wish you had half their energy. Wouldn’t you like it if your doctor could prescribe you something inexpensive and simple that will have the following side effects: –
Our sedentary life has led to chronic oxygen starvation. Our organs‚ muscles‚ brain‚ nerves‚ are now forced to struggle with their tasks in spite of the chronic undersupply of this most important nutrient. The consequences are obvious: physical and mental deterioration and a growing number and intensity of degenerative diseases – the result of this new mechanized lifestyle‚ with pollution. “Many of the things we call biomarkers of aging might actually be biomarkers of inactivity.” Williams Evans Ph.D.‚ The Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging. Perfect health requires a perfect circulation. The more we exercise the better will be the circulation of the blood. Also‚ exercise produces brain substances (endorphins) that make us feel good like a medicine. We can get all the nutrition into our blood but if we do not get the nourished blood to where it needs to go through exercise we will not benefit. How much exercise should I get? Exercise at least 30 minutes daily. Brisk walking is good. On the first day‚ begin a program of walking as far as is comfortable‚ and gradually work up to five miles per day. Outdoor labor‚ in any useful activity‚ is an excellent source of exercise. In health‚ exercise will more adequately help the body to cope with dietary abuses and other debilitating factors of a bad lifestyle. The worse the diet‚ the more important it is to exercise‚ although it should be realized that only partial protection can be achieved. Exercise is very important even if you are very sick. At this time it is especially important to rest‚ but make sure to walk‚ and do breathing exercises daily. If you are unable to exercise‚ use a trampoline. Massage can help as it is passive exercise. A whole range of motion exercises are beneficial. |
