Take Responsibility For Your Health And Fitness Before Illness Takes Responsibility For You 2 Of 2
Damian Miles asked:
In the first part to this article I showed you how your health and fitness results are a direct result of your health and fitness decisions. You are responsible whether you like it or not. In this second part to the article, I share with you what all Powerfully Positive People know, hat is how saying you are not responsible robs you of your health and fitness power, while taking responsibility, give you all the power you need. Plus I share the one big step you need to take as soon as you have taken responsibility.
When you do not take responsibility for you health and fitness, you rob yourself of the majority of your power over your health and fitness. You may say “I am this way because of my genes, or my metabolism.” Well what influence do you have over your genes or metabolism? Very little or none. If you grant power over your health and fitness to external influences your outlook is bleak. You have no chance. The world is a scary place, and you are at its mercy.
On the other hand, if you say “My genes and metabolism are just an influence on me, and I am ultimately responsible for my health and fitness” you claim back your power (didn’t you feel a little of that power as your read those words?). The world is a brighter place and you can for the most part, chose what you do, where you go, and what you achieve.
Those who have taken responsibility for their health and fitness are plain to see. They are the sports stars, and athletes that are idolised (don’t you have a favourite sport’s hero?), or those fit people that you know which everyone takes notice of and admires. Every one of these people has taken responsibility for their health and fitness.
Once you tell yourself that you are responsible for your health and fitness, and that you are able to work with influences such as genes, metabolism, or the lingering effects of past illnesses or injuries, you must take THE FIRST BIG STEP.
What is this first big step?
It is to start getting yourself a health and fitness education.
Most people’s health and fitness education stopped the moment they left school, or college. Your health education should be a life long study, rather than just a few years in formal education. Rather than your teachers being responsible for your education, you need to realise that you need to be responsible, and responsible on an on going basis for the rest of your life. It is only by acquiring this knowledge will you know how to act to ensure that you become healthy and fit and remain so for the rest of your life (like me learning about the effects of smoking on my sight).
And it is not difficult. Taken a little bit at a time over the rest of your life, it is easy, and becomes, enjoyable and second nature. Health knowledge is all around. In newspapers, magazines, on the television, books, and on the internet. And as soon as you tell yourself that you want to learn what you are reading, you will automatically take more in and remember it more. And the more times you read something, the more it sinks in. Make yourself the habit of reading every health and fitness article twice. You’ll be amazed at the results.
What about the maze and masses of often conflicting information out there? Well, I can tell you from experience that this is a little bit of a myth. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you’ll find that the maze is not as big as you expected it to be.
So decide today to become a Powerfully Positive Person, and empower yourself by taking responsibility for your health and fitness, and start getting your lifelong health and fitness education.

Living a Life of Health and Fitness
Julian Slowe asked:
Living a life of health and fitness is hard but it is not impossible. In fact, with discipline and commitment, you can actually change your habits and finally get rid of those habits that affect your health.
Below are some of the things that we feel are important parts in the road to a better and healthier you. Read on and see if you have any of them or are doing most of them.
1. Serious commitment If you really want to change your life and get rid of habits that you have for so long been doing, you’ve got to want it real bad. You need to really commit on it to ensure that you will see the plan through. There are a lot of people who start eating healthy and living healthy who will fall back to their old ways after some time. Don’t be like those people. Starting and stopping will only serve to deflate your spirits and make you believe that you can never really do it. Start when you feel that you really want it bad enough and you can really do it. Will power can be really amazing. It can make miracles.
2. Support system Changing old habits whether foregoing with a bad diet or quitting a vice, is hard but when done with people who live and support you, the task can be easier and more manageable. This is the reason why diets and programs for quitting alcoholism and smoking have support system programs within their organization. People who share your experiences whether or not they are undergoing the same things as you are will help encourage you to continue with the goals that you have set.
3. Avoid temptations Without the will power to avoid temptations, your plan to change will constantly be derailed. It is important that you remain in control when it comes to the changes that you want to do for yourself. But this however is not something that is easy to do. There will be lots of instances when you will be truly tested and most people will fail the test. They will go back to their old habits once, and then twice and then thrice until they completely forgo with their plans for a healthy lifestyle.
To avoid this, you should first stay clear of the temptations. If you have friends for instance who influence you to not eat and not live healthy, don’t go with them for the meantime especially if you know that you will only be tempted when you are with them. You should also avoid going to places that you know will tempt you to go back to your old ways.
4. Reminders People who are constantly being reminded of how they should proceed have better chances of making it through the program than those who are just doing it alone. This works in the same way as the support system but even better because in this instance, you have somebody who really point out to you what you should be doing. Sometimes, we go back to our old ways not because we want to but because it is something that your bodies are already so used to. So if you want to really change your ways and live a life of health and fitness, have somebody you trust and respect with you all the time.

Health and Fitness:
It is very important for you to take care of your health and try to exercise at least twice a day especially when you wake up in the morning and before you go to bed.
However, you should really take care of yourself as well as your health starting with eating right and making sure that you get plenty of rest and drinking lots of water.
Remember: Water will definitley save your life, especially if you’re feeling dehydrated, because water will basically bring you back and leaving you feeling energized.
With exercising and losing weight: They always have the one size fits all with clothing which is not an option for a heavy person, so keep your weight at a minimum, and when you wake up in the morning, if you want that energy boost in the morning, a cup of coffee might give you that good jolt but may not be the best solution to wake you up and keeping you awake all day.
Now some people may work their ***** off to look good by exercising and working out and you should at least work out at the gym at least five days a week and most people put a lot of effort into toning up their upper body for that muscle.
Ladies: It is extremely important to not let yourselves go and when you work out you must make sure that you eat well and cut down on your sugar intake, especially at night because you wouldn’t want to wake up feeling hung over from all of that sugar, and you should eat good foods througout the day to regulate your blood sugar and energy level.
On the subject of exercising again: If a person is very slim, they’ll need to eat right and exercise in order to tone up their body and take vitamins on a daily basis. By doing this, you’ll start seeing faster results, so therefore you need to match your workout to your personality. But, if you want great results, then you’ll need to follow the regimen and routine. Try not to smoke because it could really drop pounds, leaving you feeling weak and your face lined up and aging you in a really bad way. But if you do smoke, you should at least cut down on your cigarette smoking because it can do some serious damage to your health and you should visit your doctor regularly and you should get the most out of your doctor’s visit by telling him or her everything that’s wrong with you and by being specific and you should always put yourself first.
With foods: You should always eat your vegetables at least once a week because it will protect your heart and it helps to prevent cancer and always take your viatmins on a daily basis. For the comfort food lover: You should eat whole grain pancakes with a side of fruit which is a great way to start the day. However, you should always include more fiber in your diet. they also have vitamins that are great for your skin, nails, and hair because they include Vitamins A, C,E, Zinc, and Omega-3 fatty acids.
Although, you should never assume that you can take vitamins in place of eating these foods and always maintain a food plan. Although, health is everything, because it’s all about you and what you eat. Now most people who eat natural foods without artificial preservatives is naturally healthier and quicker with better vision, better hearing,etc. and all the senses that we take for granted until we know we’re lacking, so most likely, it’s directly connected to your diet and diet doesn’t mean something you do to lose weight. Diet is the composition of the nutriment and nutrients that your body receives by what you choose to eat, and in effect, we actually choose to be healthy, sick, strong or weak to burn out rapidly or to have stamina.
So, when it comes to health and fitness: we truly are what we eat!

Watching Health and Fitness Videos For A Fitter You
Jefferson Good asked:
Health & Fitness Videos are a great tool in promoting the topic. It is not the only method of doing this, but videos are without doubt a more popular and easy tool for individuals to utilize for learning about this theme.
The reasons for videos being used to do this are simple, as the video format is simple easy to use and follow, and the information that needs to be demonstrated visiually (such as various excercises), can be done easily where another method, such as a book, would fail. Most health and fitness videos are avaliable on video sharing websites such as YouTube.
They will come in a variety of formats, and as such target specific types of viewer. This may be that the clips are or are not in a series, which sometimes says much of the nature of the video in terms of a serious message. Many of these videos rarely exceed 10 minutes, so will usually cover very little, or a solitary one of the area(s) of the topic, meaning a more in-depth view.
The level of detail may have an effect on the popularity of such videos, as will obviously be different levels of interest for different people, so the nature of the video could be a deciding factor for the amount of viewers it gets. It is fair to say that a most people would rather be entertained than informed, but if a person is serious about the topic, they will watch a video that is likely to help them.
This is a key reason as to why such videos can affect those that watch it, as the ones that ’scare’ the viewer statistics often makes them consider their lifestyle and perhaps improve themselves, which would mean that the videos have done thier job. It is good that the videos that can do this, as some people do need the information much more than they realise, but overall the viewers must not let such videos have an ultimate influence on their desisions.
These informative videos can greatly affect the way people think about their health, as they will usually ’scare’ a responsive action from the viewer by virtue of unpleasant facts and stats. In turn, it will generally help the audience to consider their health options and improve themselves for the ‘better’, which is what the videos will want to achieve. It is good that the videos can make people think where it is needed, but there should be reassurance in that no-one is ‘perfect’, and that the viewers should not come to dramatic conclusions and decisions.
Overall, nonetheless, the majority of individuals do not get heavily influenced by them, and rather live a regular life with only a limited level of direction on health and fitness, which is perhaps best, as long as that they recognise what they are doing and are conscious of potential dangers and able to combat them. The topic is very debatable on the grounds of making individuals afraid and paranoid of their selections, but it must be stressed that it is, generally, their decisions that lead to their thoughts of a healthy, natural, and balanced way of life.
