BENEFITS OF A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE By: Rob Wess: cpt, csct, csn For: www.functionalstrengthsystems.com ______________________________________________________________________ Learning early about proper nutrition and wholesome eating habits is a good investment that can pay big dividends years down the road. Balancing the food you eat with Aerobic Activity and a Strength Training Program can help regulate weight, build muscle strength, fight depression, anxiety, reduce the risk of some chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Studies show that atherosclerosis or “clogging of the arteries” begins development in childhood and is related to early bad nutritional habits. As we get older, bones become less dense and weaker due to loss of protein and minerals which is what causes osteoporosis. Symptoms of this disease are lower back pain, loss of height, stooped posture and bone fractures. We can help prevent or slow down the development of these diseases if we start sound nutritional habits at an early age. Eat healthy and get plenty of lean protein, and foods rich in vitamin D and calcium: (low fat dairy products, green leafy vegetables, whole grains, and citrus fruits. Stay active! Exercise aerobically for cardio vascular fitness and follow a regular strength training program for strong muscles and bones. Stop smoking, reduce caffeine, limit alcohol consumption and get plenty of rest. Avoid the risks of dangerous drugs, to enhance physical appearance and/or strength quicker and easier. Instead focus on the long-term goals of fitness and health. Investing in time spent in the gym now, along with proper eating habits and a healthy lifestyle, will not only build a leaner, stronger and more appealing body… …it could make a big difference in your health later in life. _______________________________________ Rob Wess is a Certified Personal Trainer, Strength & Conditioning Trainer and Sports Nutritionist with over 25 years experience in the fitness industry, including extensive involvement in amateur bodybuilding and power lifting as a drug free competitor.
