A simple solution for grocery shopping....

Yes its true I have this book and I must say it is fascinating... I have compiled a grocery list from this book.

It tells you exactly what calories and fat and sodium mg's are in each item making it easy to compare before going to the grocery store about what is healthy or not especially if your trying to get on a healthy nutritious diet.

You should be looking for the nutrition labels when you go to the grocery store but who has the time in their busy schedules to stand there readingg a couple of labels.... well this simplifies the process by knowing what you are getting yourselves into before hitting Publix, or WunnDixie or whatever grocery store you prefer.

So now, Go to the bookstore and grab yourself this book...or... i will make it simpler by posting a link from amazon so your just a few clicks away with better deals.

Yes Yes I am awesome. Thank you readers.

Hydration is good.

Remember guys our bodies consist of 70% percent water. Aim for 8-10 glasses a day.

Dehydration makes you grumpy and sleepy and causes headaches!!

Avoid Sodas, Energy Drinks, and Juices they have too many sugars.

Clarifying your skin externally, we must also touch on the internal aspect. WATER! Drink no less than 8 glasses of water a day. If your skin has issues with blemishes, drink up! Water will help release and remove the toxins from within, lessening the load on your skin to push the toxins out. Carry a bottle of water around with you throughout the day so water is always available.

That is all for today and the video isn't good, but I hope they will get better.

Cardio & a happy body.

Benefits of cardio: strenghthens the heart, burns calories, increases endurance, burns fat and keeps it off the body.

Good cardio excersises include swimming, cycling and machines such as ellipticals, stationary bikes, and treadmills.

Aim for a minimum of three-six days a week ideally from 20-60 minutes.

So get moving even an evening walk with a friend is a good cardio exercise.

Why Lift Weights????

Most women don't want to lift weights because they think it will make them bulky or masculine looking...but that's not the case....

When you lift weights it increases your strength, lose in body fat, reduce in health risks and it improves your attitude.

Why it doesn't bulk you up: Because women do not have enough hormone testosterone to get big muscles. By adding more lean muscle to your body you will lose inches instead of bulk up. =)

Did you know!?!?!?!?!
Every added pound of lean muscle, through strength training , burns an additional 30 to 50 calories each day!

Remember Ladies and even gents who read this blog... What is good for the body benefits the mind. ;)

WHY THE NO SALT RULE:
Too much salt can lead to too much sodium in the blood, causing health problems. It can cause you to retain water, resulting in uncomfortable swelling of the hands, feet, and sometimes abdomen. Some women are more salt-sensitive before their period. They are more likely to gain weight and have swelling and bloating from salt at this time.

A serious problem related to too much salt in your diet is high blood pressure. High blood pressure increases your risk for heart disease and strokes. Approximately one third of people with high blood pressure in the United States are especially salt sensitive. This means that if they eat too much salt, it will cause or worsen high blood pressure.
