Hello Again,
When people think of exercise, chances are they think weightloss, muscles, and cardio. What you're probably not thinking about is the positive effects it has on your bones. The structural foundation of the human body.
As we age our bodies begin to deteriorate (breakdown) and can become brittle and weak. Now sometimes certain things are unavoidable and unfortunately we are not the "Man of Steel" (ie. Superman) so we're not impervious to disease, infection and other illnesses.
This blog is directed more for the ladies, however, the gents can take something from this as well. Osteoperosis is the deterioration of the bones causing them to become brittle and weak increasing the chances of breaks as we age. Now, we can take an active roll in preventing and/or slowing the process of osteoperosis or we can just sit back and let it overcome us. You Choose!
Attached is a link to an Exercise and Osteoperosis webmd article I found very informative. Take a look and then take action.
Best wishes,
Derek

Sunlight= Vitamin D= Postitve Attitude= Positive Results
Hello Again,
I realize I have been gone for a while. Sorry!
As humans there are certain things in life we need to live healthy, happy lifestyles. Obviously exercise (physical activity) and a good nutritional foundation are the most common. But one we tend to over look from time to time is our natural need for sunlight to survive. Unfortunately living in the midwest we do not have the luxury of it being 80 degrees year around, so we do have to make due with what we have. But have you ever noticed how different our moods are during the winter months than in the spring and summer.
Unless you use artificial tanning to maintain your "year roun' brown" there is a good chance that you have experienced these slight changes in mood. When you are regularly getting sunshine, the UV rays, provide your body with vitamin D which has been shown to enhance positive attitudes in human beings. And on a more superficial note people tend to feel better about themselves when they have that radient bronze tone. (Note: Artificial tanning does increase the chances of skin cancer.) However, like tanning from natural sunlight, artificial tanning does have safety precautions that can be taken to decrease the risks.
So, if you're down in the dumps, TRY GETTING YOUR BRONZE ON!
Best Wishes,
Derek
