Fast Food Detour

6/19/2014

 
A crucial part of making better decisions in trying to live a healthy lifestyle is learning to take a step back and look at the big picture.

When you're traveling, you don't have to eat fast food.  These are your options off the interstate system:

1) Fasting- Don't eat at all. Occasionally, this is good for us because it stimulates our hormonal system.

2) Gas Stations- Not the best thing in the world, but nuts and juices are better than all of the other options in gas stations.

3)
Dining Apps- This is my favorite.  Use Yelp or Urban Spoon to find a local restaurant that has some healthy options.  For example, I was driving through Mobile recently and found an excellent Nepali Indian Restaurant called Yak the Katmandu and it was tasty and healthy.  I've also found some good BBQ places like 3 Pigs, in Headland, AL where the vegetable options are plentiful along with delicious smoked "inside" Boston butt pork.

The next time you travel, consider your options before you eat anything you'll regret.


Balance is Crucial

6/4/2014

 

Balance is Crucial

If you push, then pull. If you pull, then push, in equal amounts. If you run, lift weights. If you lift weights, stretch too. If you stretch and do yoga frequently, lift weights.   If you work hard, take time to rest and have fun.

Balance yourself left and right, front and back, up and down, and inside and out. The principle of balance is crucial when it comes to:

* Preventing Injuries

* Ensuring Proper Posture

* Improving Athletic Performance

* Preventing "Energy Leaks" from inefficient movement patterns

* Recovering from Stress

* Digestion, Immunity, and Pain Relief

Everything you do should encompass a sense of balance, particularly when it comes to training. For example, most of us sit, work on computers, watch tv, drive, and use our devices in a hunched forward position. In order to balance out the inordinate amount of time spent in this poor posture position, we should frequently stretch the other way (spinal extension) and exercise the back of the body- the back of the shoulders, the lower back, and the neck.

Balance is a crucial part of success.
