Do fat burning foods exist!!!!!

Do fat burning foods exist!!!!! 

Many a times people ask me are there any foods that burn fat and make you lose weight easily.

No food can burn fat. Some foods may speed up your metabolism for short time and thus result in weight loss.

The best way to burn fat is become more active physically, do some kind of aerobic exercise like walking, cycling, jogging, aerobics, dancing, swimming whatever u enjoy.

10-10-10 = 30 minutes exercise a day is easy

 10-10-10 = 30 minutes exercise a day is easy

Its practically difficult for you to take out 30-40minutes at a stretch daily for walk or any exercise and do you also think exercising in breaks of 10-10-10mins wouldn't help much...Right...then please read this....


Research has proven that a little bit of exercise makes a big difference. And even if you have a jampacked day, take heart. Three 10-minute segments of moderate-intensity exercise throughout the day is acceptable.
"If we do 30 minutes in a day thats approximately 200minutes in a week, that's better than zero.

So here also we’re not talking about giving up 30 or 60 minutes either; all you need is 10.

Just 10?
Forget the "all or nothing" mentality when it comes to exercise. Fitness does not live or die by 30-60-minute workouts; there is middle ground. Short spurts of exercise, when they accumulate, have been shown to share similar benefits of longer workouts.

30 minutes a day, broken up into manageable chunks of 10. Start with a quick exercise when you wake up. The second session? A lunch break is possibly the perfect time to re-energize and get the blood flowing again. The last 10-minute blitz could come in the evening, even while you are watching TV. It’s an ideal way to involve the family as well. Go for a power walk after dinner with your spouse or ride bikes with the kids.

Just 30 minutes of moderate exercise per day for adults and 60 minutes of physical activity per day for children is a must which can be built up with a variety of activities like going for a jog, a brisk walk, or playing team sports, and also incidental exercise. Incidental exercise is any activity built up in small amounts over the day, for example, taking the stairs instead of the lift, walking to the bus stop, and even housework and gardening. Incidental exercise keeps our bodies moving and burning energy.

Especially for sedentary individuals, the immediate health benefits are huge.

Go ahead  start with your 10-10-10 = 30 minutes of exercise today

Rx for better health = Proper Nutrition + Physical Activity

 

Your car would not run very well on unclean fuel nor would it be able to get you where you need to go if the tank is on “E"Empty. We can link this scenario to the human body. It must be replenished with proper nourishment after it has been broken down due to physical or daily activity. Just imagine running a car with very less fuel or unclean fuel, the average the car will give you would be very less or the distance it will take you.... RIGHT......Similarly if you do not fuel your body well or fuel it by unhealthy foods imagine the energy (average) it will give you and for how long......think...think...think.

 

I am posting it as it seems relatively easier to throw some dumbbells around in the gym or to follow a fad diet, starve, skip meals but it takes a more concerted effort when paying attention to the proper fuel consumption and when to execute your meals. Those who think they can diet without exercising and those who think they can eat whatever they want because they exercise, are sadly misguided. 

 

EAT RIGHT, EXERCISE AND STAY HEALTHY

Have better health through better nutrition.....

We have to pay the price for how we live and what we eat

 We have to pay the price for how we live 

and what we eat

The increase in our lifespan should be a blessing but our bad habits have turned it into a curse.

Modern day medicine is allowing us to live longer lives. Unfortunately, these long lives are not healthy lives. Our bad eating habits, sedentary lifestyles, and smoking have prevented us from enjoying the fruits of medical technology.

Today, even educated people do not understand the dangers say from faulty lifestyle and eating habits.

Well, we have to pay the price for how we live and what we eat
