Develop a workout routine

               The benefits of maintaining healthy eating habits, physical activity and optimal levels of vitamins and minerals are clear: actively managing your fitness contributes to long-term health and longevity and increased livelihood in the interim.

 Shockingly, many people, children and adults alike, do not engage in enough physical activity; the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion reports that only nineteen percent of high school students are active for twenty minutes per day, five days per week in physical education classes.
                Taking the time to develop a workout routine that fits your individual schedule and physical needs reduces the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and premature death. Eating healthy foods combined with dietary supplements ensures your body receives the appropriate amount of nutrients for optimal performance.  Fuel is a great source for vitamins and protein available here:  http://www.kristine.automaticbody.com  "The only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday"

Healthy heart..... 5 items

Our heart is the most important muscle in our body, without it we can’t survive.  Adding certain foods to your diet can help you keep a happy, healthy heart.  Here are 5 items you can add to your diet!

1. Nuts. They contain heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, especially almonds, walnuts and cashews. Eat a moderate portion every day.

2. Whole soy protein. If you substitute whole soy protein, such as edamame or tofu, for animal protein each day, you can lower levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that when present in high levels has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease.

3. Fresh garlic. This medicinal herb has been shown to help lower cholesterol levels. Use one or two raw or lightly cooked cloves a day.

4. Green tea. It provides EGCG, a polyphenol than may help to moderate inflammation and lower cholesterol. Substitute a cup of heart-healthy green tea for your morning coffee or afternoon soda.

5. Soluble fiber. It has a powerful cholesterol-lowering effect. Beans, legumes and whole grains are good sources to add to your diet – aim for 1-2 servings per day.
