Let’s Move!

This past week I was vacationing with my family at our lake house up North.  It was much needed time spent with great family, friends and sunshine!  We enjoyed some down time, but we were also very active.  Between the wakeboarding, swimming, running and hiking let’s just say I slept very well at night.  On one of my hiking/running adventures with my dad, I thought to myself, I am so grateful and so lucky to be able to do these kinds of things.  To be able to move, walk, run, swim, etc…. it’s a blessing.  There are many that don’t have the capability to do such movements and sometimes I think we take it for granted. So if you are reading this, I ask you, wherever you are, get up and move! Even for 5 minutes… enjoy the day and enjoy the ability to be able to move and maintain a healthy body!

Have you moved today??

This just in…Health Scoop!

One of my favorite magazines to read and indulge in is Women’s Health.  There are so many essentials, thoughts, and helpful hints to eating right and living a healthy lifestyle.  I came across an article the other day containing countless intriguing facts so I thought I would share!

New Age Rules

You may have inherited your dad’s baby blues or your mom’s lithe legs, but your life span isn’t so predetermined. A new shows that life expectancy has much more to do with your lifestyle than with your parents’ longevity.  Researchers tracked 855 subjects and found that being a nonsmoker, having low cholesterol and blood pressure, and exercising on a regular basis are what pushed people into their nineties and beyond.   

Heart Check

Someday your doc might be able to suss out your future cardiac risk with a simple blood test.  People who tested positive for high levels of a protein called troponin T were much more likely to eventually die of heart complications according to a study published in the journal of the American Medical Association.  Soon, women as young as 30 will be able to get their troponin T checked.

Grapefruit Juice

Drinking grapefruit juice first thing in the morning curbs your appetite and keeps it in control for the rest of the day.  The natural sugar is a great energy boost for early wakeup calls!
