Lose Weight With Good Posture

 Did you know that with good posture you can lose weight?  Good posture will help you to have a very strong core and will keep you standing straight as an arrow.  Good posture will give you a strong back with deeper breathing.  Deep breathing helps to oxygenate your cells and will keep you energized.  When you can take in the air that is full atoms (the atoms of life) this will give you energy and more life.
When you start being more conscience of your posture you will began to notice what a workout it is.  For those of us who work and it requires that we sit for hours and hours at a time.  You should sit with a straight back with your thighs straight and legs bent at the knees and feet flat on the floor.  While doing this feel the parts of the body that this good sitting posture is working and notice your breathing.  Whenever you are sitting try to make sure that you keep this posture and you will train your body, and you will notice weight loss and toning.  You will began to sweat by just sitting.

For those of us who stand all day or for better part of the day.  You  should wear good comfortable shoes for leg, back and feet support. And wear stockings to help hold you and help blood flow. Stand with your back straight with your navel pulled in and your tail bone tucked and breathing should be deep.  This is not going to be easy when you first start out, but it will not take long to train your body to get use to it.  And you will began to sweat, tone and lose weight. What we have not been taught about exercise is the proper form of exercise we should have in order to get the best results.  The best form of exercise is walking...form being the operative word here.  If you are doing this form and you are consistent with it, you will working every part of your body,  and I do mean every part.  And getting very pleasing results. 

If you walk for the most part of your day, every time you move you should use the walking form.  Your shoulders should be pulled back, your chest raised, your neck straight and head held high.  Lift the upper of your body from the waist with your back straight and walk and swing those arms if you can.  When walking try to over exaggerate your movement from the waist, by turning from left to right adding a slight twist from the waist and slightly cross your legs in front as you walk.  I promise you you will feel the workout and be sore from your movements.  If you are at work your friends may wonder what you are doing but when they see the results they will soon join you.

For core strengthening I am not a big advocate for lying on the floor and raising the body (crunches).  It will give you a strong core, but it will not last long if you take long breaks from exercising.  Another reason I am not a big fan of crunches is when you lie down your lungs collapse.  How will you be able to pull in the much needed air in the body to help oxygenate your cells and give you energy.  Core strength does not come from daily exercise or going to the gym.  To prove my point lets say that you exercise daily by going to the gym.  And as we all do get lazy and don't feel like going, we break for a while.  You will see your posture and breathing change.  But if you train yourself how to have the best form you will always keep that perfect posture and continue to lose weight and tone.  Because your body will continue to burn and tone, because that is the way you have trained your body.

Learn the perfect form first then add additional exercise to it if you like.   But once you start the perfect form for your daily exercise you will not need to go to the gym or have a trainer.  You will be your own trainer.  And exercising everyday something you thought that you would never do.


I will have a exercise video coming soon to demonstrate these movements.

 Mashed Carrots Vs. Baked Potato



I will be the first one to admit that I love the taste of a big, delicious, stuffed to the brim bake potato (BIG GRIN :).  But I will also, be the first to admit that I do not love the fat that comes along with that big, delicious, stuffed to the brim bake potato (A GREAT BIG SOBB :(. One thing that I have learned about eating is...there is a delicious, healthy alternative to the nemesis (bad food that taste good) to our health.  We have to know that it is ok to have  fat (good fat that God put in our food) in our diet.  But what kind of fat?  When the good fat is taken out of our food and replaced with the bad fat (man made fat) these fats causes us to have health problems.  I am not a big fan of low fat and no fat foods.  I view these types of food as enemies to my health. To eat these food is not a good practice for anyone over long periods of time.  When you eat like this YOU CREATE A NEMESIS to your health.  There is an art to eating.  Believe it or not no one can eat what they want, how they want and when they without paying a price.  Because there are proper times to eat.  How is it possible to eat 3 meals a day and snacks in between and be healthy and not gain weight.  When the body can only digest one meal at a time.  And different foods digest at different times.  Some foods take 1 hour and others take nearly all day mostly meats.  
When we eat like this it is very damaging to the body and causes a severe back up of foods in our delicate systems.  Believe it or not eating like this cause us to prematurely age.  And there is an art to food, and how food reacts in the body.  And all of these components work together to keep us going and allows us to be free, to be alive, and to be vibrant, teaming with life.


Foods such as the potato are not good for our health to eat on a constant basis.  Potatoes are poisonous and have been re-engineered so that they will not kill us so quickly.  If you are a potato lover eat red potatoes.  I want to introduce the alternative to eating potatoes, carrots.  You can fix and serve carrots just like you would fix and serve potatoes.  Trust me they are absolutely delicious.


Ingredients needed are:


Fresh potatoes (the ones you have to peel)
Sour Cream
Butter
Salt & Pepper
Smoked (Salmon or Thinly sliced smoked turkey)
Green Onions
Cheese
Cilantro
And any other of your favorites.


In a large pot boil your carrots until tender add a little salt to the water.  In a large skillet fry your salmon or turkey until crispy, drain and set to the side.  When your carrots are done you can add all of your fixings and you will enjoy this dish.  Carrots are very filling but in a good way.  Let me hear from you.  ENJOY!!!!!!!!!
