Fitness Tips

November 28th, 2009 |

These fitness tips are to be analyzed now because most people stumble with their good health style during the fall. In the cold climates the body is craving foods that help the body keep heated. In the warm climates many of those who are immigrates from the cold climate still will yearn for those foods.

There seems to be more family gatherings this time of year, which brings into play native foods. Many of these cultural foods are fattening and unhealthy. Families in the south have food pushers and I am sure there are a few in other parts of the country. Food pushers are those like my mom who will have you feeling condemned for not feeding on a lot of everything prepared(cultural peer pressure).

If you are not guarded, you can easily eat up four or five thousand calories in one meal. Remember, it only takes three thousand calories to pick up a pound of fat. You just can’t work off that many calories in time. If you work at losing weight before these events, then gain it back, you jeopardize yourself to many health issues. Weight fluctuation can be as hazardous as obesity.

On top of this there is however another element, the work place. This is also the season employers and workers are in a generous mode. So there are many more food oriented events taking place at the work place, most of which are of foods not contributing to a healthy life style.

Enough already, what is the answer? Those of you who are in the cold climate I sympathize with you. It is hard to stay warm. My fitness tips to you is to cook those stews and broths with as little salt as possible. Make sure the skin is off the chicken and take in as little as possible. Those of you who are transplants into the warmer climates, I truly recommend you replace that cold climate diet with a lighter, healthier diet. Resist the cravings as much as possible.
