John gives his top eight tips for achieving optimal health in 2008. Theseare relatively simple steps one can take to a healthier life and lower bodyfat. They are very manageable and do not involve drastic changes. Theseinclude:
These are recommended for anyone who wants to welcome the New Year with afresh outlook on a healthier and leaner body that will surely lead to ahealthier life for years to come.1. Switch to organic foods. Toxins in traditional farmed foods may be keeping you heavyset and inflamed. 2. Switch from coffee to green tea for your morning pick-me-up. The EGCG in green tea combined with caffeine boosts metabolism about 50 kcal/day. 3. Incorporate full-body strength training into weekly routine. Include exercises such as squats, dead lifts, and standing overhead presses. This builds bone density, increases metabolism, and gives overall increased strength. 4. Use heart rate monitor such as Polar. Take the guess work out of your routine, add fun, and science as you optimize results. 5. Talk less, increase intensity. Too many people lack focus and intent and high enough intensity to reach desired results during cardiovascular exercises. 6. Increase intake of omega-3 via cold-water wild fish, flax, or supplements. Benefits include reduced inflammation, improved heart and brain health, and immune function. 7. Discover the benefits of complementary health care such as chiropractic treatments, massage therapy, acupuncture, and naturopathic medicine. 8. Embrace the wellness lifestyle -- by improving your sleep environment, the respect for your body, and continuing your quest for knowledge.
