The Secret to Staying Youthful

If you want to feel less stressed? Want more energy? Would you like to live a healthy life?

If you have these questions, most people say yes. Who would not be more relaxed, have more energy and live a healthy life? A mystery that has all this in your life and feeling youthful is physical activity. You have probably heard the saying: "If you do not use it, you lose it." That is so true with your body and mind.

We live in a society of convenience, through alleys, escalators and elevators, we can push a button on our computer and have things now in our hands, instead of walking into the hall to talk with someone, and so further. Our bodies were moving, many of us live life, not take much to us all. If it is, it is up to you to make a conscious effort to restore movement in the day.

Did you know people over 45 years, begin to lose 1% of their muscle mass per year? Often wonder why they weight as they reach middle age, when their diet has not changed. One reason is a pound of muscle burns 35 to 50 calories, where a pound of fat burns only 2-3 calories. If you gradually lose muscle mass, your metabolism slows and you will be more weight and fat.

The way to prevent the loss of muscle mass is to remain physically active. According to Lawrence Golding, PhD. Head of exercise physiology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, as we age, body fat is not to increase the flexibility and strength, nor fall. In fact, a large part of the "aging" is due to just sit around. His research in comparison participants, was in his twenty years of practice with that of the normal population. His class had average body fat of 20% compared with the average of 26%. In addition to regularly wiped out the loss of flexibility with age.

The most common excuse I hear for not exercising is lack of time. This is an interesting excuse. The recommended amount of exercise is 30 to 60 minutes moderate exercise. To this in perspective, if you exercise 30 minutes per day, is only a small part of the day. You still have another 23 /5 hour day for sleep, work, family, social life, etc. Most people have the time, but you have resistance exercise. The secret is to find something, you are so that you are with him.

Once people's physical activity and exercise them on a consistent basis will eventually find you have more time in the day. In reality, we all have the same 24 hours, but if you are physically fit, you have more energy and more mental clarity and the ability to make more in less time.

The secret is to stay young, to think and act young. Have fun with your physical activity. Zapping. They enjoy dancing, gardening, jogging, hiking, swimming, cycling, yoga, strength training, in-line skating, sport?

The benefits for those who exercise are many, here are a few:

Would you like these benefits? Commit itself to start to get more physically active. You want to check with your doctor to ensure there are no restrictions on your activity. Once you have the green light from your doctor slowly begin to find ways to actively. You can begin by just a walk on the lunch, dance around your house, do some during the breaks, playing ball with your children.

starting to get to all the benefits to be physically active, and notice how your attitude to changes in physical activity. It may take a while, until this new habit, patiently and consistently, and you can also contribute to a physically active young person.
