If you want an easier life, you had better take care of your body along the way.

This flies in the face of what a lot of people think as they grow up.

When you are a teenager, your idea of an easy life is probably lounging around on the settee after school or work, then living entirely for the weekend!! Nothing else matters, I know that, I used to think the same thing myself!

The idea of training was tough, when having an extra hour’s nap was far more appealing.

Some of you may still be going through the same process. You can’t wait for your lay in at the weekend, getting up at 11 or 12 is “your right” at the weekend, and nothing’s going to get in the way of that! You are entitled to it, and you may view your working week as if you have done a shift down the coal mine!!! Some people do really talk their work up you know!!!

So all of this so far has not involved ANY exercise.

I don’t have to tell anyone that this type of “lifestyle” will make you put weight on, if not in your teens or early 20’s, then DEFINITELY in your 30’s onwards!!!

This is the time when most people realise they had better do something, or things are going to get out of serious control!!!

Now exercise had better be a part of your life or you’re going to have no energy, be way out shape and encourage ill health in later years.

You had better be eating well too, a diet rich in good healthy natural food makes you a very wealthy person internally, which will make you look good automatically on the outside!!!

So the EASY LIFE is achieved really through taking care of your body in advance, don’t wait for bad things to happen. Your body wants to reward you with good health every day, your body also wants to give you an abundance of energy to help you achieve big things with your life.

Life can be much easier if you give your most important asset a workout regularly, save time, save effort long term and get out there and exercise today!!!

I have a lot of questions about blood pressure, and by now, i have helped at least 100 individuals get off blood pressure medication that they seemed to spend a lifetime on. I am not a magician, intead i apply tried and tested ways to change a situation for people that can sometimes seem desperate!

A lot of people ask too what does blood pressure mean? And what ranges should they be in to be considered healthy?

A brief description would be that when doctors take your blood pressure, they are checking how hard the blood pushed against the arteries and veins as it moves around your body.

It is measured in mm of mercury and is always written as two numbers.

The top number, the systolic reading, measures the pressure of the blood when your heart pumps it out and the bottom number, the diastolic number, measures the pressure when your heart relaxes and refills.

Accoring to a million medical journals and accepted to be fact by 100% of the medical community, high blood pressure is diagnosed when readings are persistently above 140/90.

This means you are significantly increasing the risk of having a stroke or heart attack, and can lead to kidney disease, so its always a great idea to have your blood pressure checked at least once a year. You can also buy home machines cheaply in supermarkets these days.

One of the key reasons your blood pressure will be over the top is salt, this is the single most destructive reason why people get high blood pressure and this is why diet is so important. Salt really is the hidden evil in foods. People always go on about fats and sugars, but salt is equally as bad if not more so, and is more or less in every food, especially pre packaged food such as ready meals and all processed food, this literally is a disaster waiting to happen so try and get it out out of your life as soon as possible, and im VERY SERIOUS!!!!!

Other contributory factors are alcohol and a lack of exercise but we will touch on these important points again!!

Diet is so important, fail to pay attention and you’re on a one way track to ill health, change it now if you want to be at your best health levels!!!

Every time you exercise, see it as if you are looking after your body.

Every time you eat good natural food, see it as you are giving your body its best possible care and you’re healing it every day from life’s stresses. Your body needs protecting as well as it needs energising!

The process of looking after your body shouldn’t be seen as a hardship at all. If you view your training as a treat, a chance for you to have YOU time, then its going to be a lot more attractive.

Talking about attractive, that’s exactly what’s going to happen to you if you carry on training hard and eating well.

Anyone who looks slimmer, stronger and fitter, will automatically look more attractive. There is a glow about anyone who eats right and trains well, they give you a far better vibe than someone who idles their time away in a pub every night for example. Being a slob never did anything positive for anyone!!!

If you eat fresh natural food every day, then you know its going to being you a healthy amount of body fat on your body, its going to bring you more energy and therefore much more positivity in your attitude, don’t forget your attitude is key when you embark on your health and fitness programme, theres always a million reasons not to exercise if you are negative, that’s what we are trying to avoid-negativity!!

The difference between feeling positive and negative about life WILL make the difference between being successful and mediocre with your health and fitness results across the board.

If you survive on takeaways, ready meals and alcohol most days, then you know for sure that your body is not going to respond very well in terms of benefits, in fact there will be a whole lot of negatives that will fill your life, and lets face it, theres nobody if they are truthful wants to overweight, have bad skin, no energy and a low physical performance.

Life is there for living as the saying goes, so  cut the negativity out of your life and go shopping for the right foods right now, and bin the foods that are going to bring negativity in your life into a big black bag right now!!!

Its only then you can move forward!

May 3rd

May 3rd means you should be in the shape you promised yourself way back in January in your new year resolutions! The sad reality for most people is that never happens, and may instead signifies panic instead of satisfaction at the shape you could have been in.

We have also had two big bank holidays in a row, with two Fridays off too, which have made the job of staying in shape that much harder!

So if today means blowing off some cobwebs, then so be it, it has to be done and a process you have to go through to feel as if you’re back to life again!

The way you treat your body every day determines what kind of shape you’re in full stop. If you tell everyone you’re on fish salads all the time and never drink, yet go home and eat fish and chips every night as well as having a couple of glasses of wine every night, then the only person you will be fooling is yourself. Lying to yourself is common and doing it more and more is never going to get you magically in shape.

If a chicken salad is really fried chicken with salad drenched in mayonnaise and heavy dressing, then you may well have had a burger and chips, there really is no excuse for those kind of calories going into your body and you know it. This is one way to get fat, it works every time!

For example, if you went mad and had a good sized easter egg over the holiday, you would need to swim for around 3-4 hours just to work it off! This is heck of a task when you think about it and might deter you next time you have a treat as rich in calories as that.

These are the types of scenarios that stop individuals getting into the kind of shape they REALLY want, its these times when you really need to avoid constant streams of high calories that are so important to being in shape.

The bank holidays are done (at least until the end of may), so now is the perfect time to get your head down and really work hard again, starting right now!!

As booze will be such a big part of the weekend coming up, its time to realise what it means to you in real terms. Nothing wrong at all with a drink, i will have one myself but all im saying is the reprecussions could be worth considering.

Booze has a massive effect on blood pressure, and can really set about ramping it up to levels you don’t really want over a period.

Alcohol is packed with calories and WILL lead to weight gain, there is no doubting this.

You dont even have to drink a lot, just 3-4 units per day will DOUBLE your chance of suffering blood pressure problems according to the health authorities!

If you are a woman though, just 2-3 units can increase your blood pressure risk by a third, anyone who has suffered from blood pressure will know that this risk is not worth taking.

Theres a good site at www.drinkaware.co.uk

Caffeine used to be seen as a big problem for blood pressure, but as long as its in moderation, this is no longer true.

Lifestyle factors are far more relevant when it comes to blood pressure issues.

If you’re a smoker for instance, thats flat out the worst thing you can do and will bring you a whole lot of trouble over time.

If you drink less alcohol, you will benefit immensely.

If you have a diet rich in nutrients full of fresh natural foods, you are very unlikely to suffer blood pressure issues.

And of course, if you exercise with purpose on a regular basis, you are very likely not to suffer from blood pressure issues especially if you combine it with the lifestyle choices already mentioned.

So this weekend, its fine to go out and have a drink or two, AS LONG as your general lifestyle is good, then there is no problem at all!

It makes me laugh when i see the everyday drinkers out on bank holiday claiming its a one off day for them, THIS IS everyday life for them and unfortunately they will be likely suffering from many ailments brought on by a life of alcohol abuse. When you add smoking and an unhealthy diet to all of this, its a grim picture!!

Time for everyone to change their lifestyle surely!!! If you are having a few drinks, get out the next morning and exercise!!!
