Coweta, OK – New Aerobics Class StartUp

It’s that time of year again!  The holiday’s are nearly over and we’re thinking ahead to the New Year!  This is the time when we also begin to evaluate the past year.  As we review, we remember the things we did well and that makes us proud.   On the other hand,  we also remember those things that we didn’t do so well and those things challenge us.  Of course, one of the things that we always consider at this time year is our health.  After our holiday indulgences,  we know we’ve got to make some changes.  Our energy levels are lower, in fact we’re worn out.  We’ve most likely put on a few pounds or several pounds duriing 2009 and we definately want to shed that extra weight.  Simply put, the last year(s) has caught up with us and it’s time for us to do something about it!     So at this time of year we make New Year’s Resolutions!  We love them and we hate them!  We have the conviction we need to see it through when we make the resolution, but as we’ve all experienced sometimes that doesn’t last very long.  In fact, a few weeks later our resolution is often a disppointment and/or forgotten.  Well let’s make this year different!  Let’s jumpstart our New Year’s Resoluton with an 8 week “Get Fit” Challenge!     We’ll succeed together as we support and encourage each other to have fun and “stay the course”.  Please join us and learn more about the “8 Week Get Fit Challenge”.  The first class is an orientaton and is free.  We’ll workout and present our course of action with several options….if you like what you see and hear you’ll have the opportunity to join us, however there is no obligation!  So get a workout partner, put on your workout gear and join us!  You’ll be glad you did!

The Upside of Adversity

 

Have you ever considered that there might be an upside to adversity? 

                                 

Author, Os Hillman gives some great tools to deal with adversity in our lives.  There’s always a ring of authenticity that comes from someone who is living and writing out of their own personal experience, including their adversity.

“A defining moment is a time in our life when everything changes and we know that there’s no turning back.  A defining moment crystallizes us and shapes us into the kind of people we will be.  It’s an event in our lives that gives form and meaning to our existence.”                      -Os Hillman, The Upside of Adversity

Lifestyle recommendations during menopause

Today we are pleased to bring you a great article written by our esteemed SciMed Board Chairman, Dr. Robert Hackman. His article is to provide some tips on helping manage menopausal changes.

AdvoCare’s Formula W is an important development in women’s health supplements.  But at AdvoCare, we also promote a wellness lifestyle, recognizing that no matter how sophisticated the supplement, nothing replaces or substituted for wise dietary choices, regular physical activity and other health-promoting practices.

Many Formula W users are in the perimenopausal time of their lives – a period where a wellness lifestyle can make a huge difference in how one feels, looks and performs.  A distillation of some of the top recommendations by leading health authorities includes:

Diet

Consume a diet rich in whole grains, vegetables and fruits (7-9 servings of vegetables and fruits per day)

Consume oily fish twice weekly or take a scientifically sophisticated omega-3 fatty acid supplement.  Remember, not all omega-3 supplements are of the same quality or effectiveness.

Maintain bone health.  At a minimum, consume at least 1,200 mg calcium and 800 IU vitamin D daily.  Additional nutrients such as vitamin K, magnesium and key trace elements such as zinc, boron and manganese are also important for a complete bone health supplement

Moderate your intake of alcohol to 1 serving per day.

Balance calorie intake with physical activity (calorie expenditure) to maintain a healthy weight.

Avoid hot flash triggers, e.g., spicy foods, hot beverages

Physical Activity

As we grow older, more physical activity is needed than when we were younger, since metabolism naturally slows down with aging.  A wellness lifestyle includes some form of physical activity nearly every day.  Most health experts recommend a minimum of 30 minutes and up to 60-90 minutes of physical activity, 5 or 6 days/week

Be sure to combine weight-bearing activity (to maintain muscle mass and strength) with aerobic activities to help burn calories and maintain cardiovascular health.

Lifestyle

Quit smoking.  Because smoking is linked to a decline in estrogen levels, women who smoke reach menopause about two years earlier than nonsmokers. Smoking doubles a woman’s odds of developing heart disease and is a major risk factor for osteoporosis.

Be prepared to regulate your body heat.  Dress in layers that can be removed if hot flashes occur.  Use a hand-held or battery-operated fan for cooling.  Take a tepid or cool shower before bedtime.
