Affordable Fitness

As the winter arrives and the holiday season in full force, I decided to share a few interesting facts...about burning body fat, staying germ free and managing your sweet tooth...and the best NEWS...it will NOT cost you an arm or a leg!

Studies show that the working out outside in the Cold has advantages.  A small study found that a type of fat cell known as brown fat can sense the cold.  To warm up, these cells release their energy as heat, torching calories and melting the other fat-the kind you want to get rid of.  Bundle up and get outside and get moving!

According to Jen Patel, PhD, deputy director of the CDC's Antimicrobial Resistance...Simple soap offers the best defense against virus protection.  In fact, Washing your hands in warm water is enough.   The ingrediant, Triclosan which is found in many antibacterial products, is not any better at fighting germs and may be be contributing to the rise of super bugs.

Walking is the most effective way to fight off cravings?  Taking a brisk 15-minute walk can curb even the most drool-induced chocolate craving, finds a new study published in Appetite.  Focusing on walking distracts your mind from sweets as well as helps reduce stress and boredom, both linked to cravings.

So...if you can not stand the cold, your out of simple soap or you hate walking or "don't have time", NO worry.  Just one simple thing will help you accomplish buring body fat, staying virus free and last but not least curbing the old sweet tooth - H2O...yes water!  Water is our wonder resourse.  Thankfully we are in a situation locally it is VERY available.  So, wake up and take advantage.  Even I have a love hate relationship with water, but the days I am faithful, I feel the best.
