Eating For A Healthier Body

By Rey Vetangelo


It's time to get moving! Exercise is a key component to living a healthy, well-balanced life. The likelihood that you will need to have a lap band procedure, or weight loss surgery, decreases dramatically if you maintain a healthy exercise regimen.

Yoga should be relaxing but should also strengthen your body as well. The stretching and moving actually does several important things to your body. As you do balancing postures and focus on stretching you will find that your cardiovascular efficiency increases. Blood is spread much more equally around the body which opens up new doors to increasing your overall health.

Before we divulge some great places to get moving in Utah, here are a few simple ways you can increase the amount of physical activity you do. Some simple decisions, such as choosing the stairs at work instead of the elevator do not take a lot of time out of your day, but are the starting blocks of a healthy lifestyle.

While your body is important, the mind is where it all starts. Yoga is one of the few exercises that takes you deed into a pondering mode where you will be able to distress and actually increase you well-being. It also teaches an awareness of your body and surroundings. Yoga can be a great exercise for those with anxiety and depression because it helps release negative emotions and helps clear your mind.

Memory and learning improvements have been noted with yoga as it allows participants to reach deep in their minds and clear them. It is really focus based exercise that is great for clearing the mind of distractions.

Many chiropractors swear by yoga because of the increased strength of back and joints. Most exercises don't target these areas and some actually harm these areas of the body. Chiropractors are fans of the stretching as well as the balance postures that yoga presents.

The second largest fresh-water lake in Utah, Bear Lake, lies along the Idaho-Utah border. Be sure to bring the whole family to enjoy the turquoise blue waters along the nearby mountains. This is a great summer destination to really enjoy nature while being active. With two beaches, and a number of marinas, it's a great location for swimming, fishing, wakeboarding, or water skiing.

When we are talking about the inner systems there are certain areas of the body that are directly targeted by yoga. Cholesterol, sodium, and glucose levels will decrease in the body and certain vitamins and minerals increase. This allows the body to function even better the next time.

On the whole, exercise is a great short-term and long-term benefit; you can feel better by enjoying the natural beauty of Utah with friends and family, while increasing your overall mood. You can also ward off serious chronic disease, which could result in a visit to Dr. Alfonso Preciado for lap band surgery, through regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight.
