So, you’re not exactly a beacon of physical activity. You’re inactive at work, and then spend an hour or two watching TV at night after a not-so-healthy dinner. With all your attention focused on your career, hobbies, and the endless commitments you have as a responsible member of society, you wonder how you could possibly find time for vigorous exercise and strength training.

Well, here’s the bad news: Your sedentary lifestyle is probably killing you even as you read this article. Without any strength-training activity, your muscles are in a state of slow deterioration. Your bones are quite possibly weakening, along with your heart and lungs, blood vessels, immune system and brain. And, as you’ve probably guessed, you are also… Continue reading →

You want to prevent cancer, and you promised yourself that you’d exercise “tomorrow.” But tomorrow turned into a week, and a week turned into a month. And now, six months later, you still haven’t taken your first steps on your path to fitness. Or, perhaps you started going to the gym twice a week, missed a couple workouts, and then stopped going for a whole three months. In either case, you’ve let your excuses stop you from investing in your health.
Since excuses are really just a lack of motivation, you’ll need to anticipate and counter them if you expect to maintain a high degree of motivation. Here are five common excuses people tell themselves to get out of exercising,… Continue reading →

If you’ve been trying to lose weight but can’t seem to find the motivation to get started, here’s a fact that may give you the push you need: being overweight is one of the main drivers of cancer.

For most of human evolutionary history, our continuous contact with the ground provided a beneficial flow of electrons that travelled from the earth to our bodies. Our ancestors walked barefoot and slept on the ground, oblivious to the earth’s subtle electrical signals that helped regulate their bodies’ intricate mechanisms.

But somewhere in our evolution, we stopped connecting with the earth’s primordial healing energy. And now, in our modern civilization with heavily-insulated buildings, cars, airplanes, and rubber or plastic-soled shoes, we’ve distanced ourselves from the earth.

A growing body of research is showing that this lack of contact with the earth may be resulting in the aches and pains, fatigue, poor sleep and stress that many of us experience. Reconnecting ourselves… Continue reading →

You already know what makes a bank account unhealthy: too much spending, not enough income, or both. But have you ever thought about your physical health in these terms?

In a very real sense, you were born with a certain amount of credit in your health’s bank account. Over the years of your life, you lose “credit” through unhealthy eating, a lack of proper exercise, sleep deprivation, and the many other stresses your body endures. As you make harmful lifestyle choices, you’re borrowing against your future. And after too much of this borrowing, cancer becomes a likely reality.

Why think of your health in terms of an “account?” Because it will help you become more resolved to make frequent deposits… Continue reading →

You’ve heard it a million times: exercise is good for you. You know that it can improve your quality of living, your appearance, and even your mood. And you certainly already know that a healthy lifestyle with frequent exercising will help you fight illnesses and enrich your body with prevention for cancer. But do you know how?

Exercise Changes Everything: Out With The Bad, In With The Good

When you exercise properly (i.e., in a way that trains your muscles,) your body increases the things that fight cancer while ridding itself of things that promote cancer. Here’s what the research suggests:

1. OUT with high insulin levels

Did you know that proper exercise reduces the levels of insulin… Continue reading →
