Eating The Right Food Can Help Delay the Signs of Aging
Some people think that the only way to delay the signs of aging is by applying some form of cream on the skin. Tests have shown that this is effective but did you know that there is a better way that won't hurt your budget?
Scientists have determined that eating the right foods can also be good for the old folks. You should cut back on poultry and meat so it can be substituted with something healthier like fish. Vegetables should also be included in each meal with things like broccoli, onions, tomatoes and others that are green.
These contain what are known as anti-oxidants that help the body fight against diseases and absorb vitamins and nutrients. The use of olive oil in preparing meals and cooking is also helpful.
If people think that this can only be found in the main course, the good news is that these are also available as snacks and refreshments. Fruits that are rich in this are apples, berries and oranges. Nut and seaweeds are also good with something healthy to drink like coffee or tea.
The examples of food mentioned just proves that the things being bought from the grocery don't do that much for the body. This is why some doctors suggest the patient to also buy food supplements that have anti-oxidant properties.
But the price of such food supplements varies. It depends perhaps on the brand even if the same ingredients are written on the product label. The customer should compare what this item offers over another and not only look at how much it costs before making a decision.
Does this mean the multivitamins being taken are useless? In some ways yes because they don't provide the right amount of Vitamin C that is needed by the body. Ideally, you should get at least 1,000 mg. a day but studies have proven there is nothing wrong with taking more than the recommended intake.
The same can't be said about the vitamins because these aren't water soluble making it hard for the body to absorb which is considered to be toxic. This is another reason why patients should consult with a doctor before taking any food supplements.
Everyone wants to stay young and feel healthy regardless of age. Using creams and eating food or supplements can make this happen as long as it is done properly.

Vegetarian Diet - Weight Loss with Diet and Exercise and Personal Training
Think about it, have you ever seen a fat vegetarian? Probably not. In fact, for most of us, vegetarian is almost synonymous with lean and healthy, isn’t it? And when you start any diet, what’s the first thing the experts tell you? Generally it’s to increase the amounts of vegetables you’re eating and to eat limited amounts of meat, especially high-fat red meat and pork.
And what happens when you resume your old eating habits? Generally the weight will come right back on. Even the greatest will-power can’t overcome the unhealthy effects of eating high-fat meat.
When you eat a diet that’s higher in dietary fiber, that’s primarily if not totally vegetarian, you’re naturally healthier. You’re feeding your body and getting it the nutrition it needs to run efficiently. You have more energy and stamina; you wake up more easily and more refreshed. It’s easier to exercise, because you’re not so weighed down by digesting the high fat and excessive protein that comes from eating a carnivorous diet.
Many diets fail because we think of them as depriving ourselves of food we love. The trick is to change that thinking. There are so many compelling reasons to eliminate meat from our diet, so why not forget about losing weight? Focus instead on eating healthier, or eating in a way that’s in balance with the earth, and that doesn’t need to subsist on the suffering of animals. You’ll probably find you’ll start to lose weight without even thinking about it!
And when you do lose weight, so many other health risks can fall by the wayside as well. You’ll find your blood pressure falls into a healthier range and your risk for Type II diabetes can decrease. You’ll look better and feel better and probably never go back to your old ways of eating!

Personal Fitness Trainer in Santa Ana - Orange County Fitness Boot Camp - Personal Training in Santa Ana
A note from Dr. John Spencer Ellis and Orange County Adventure Boot Camp
On Saturday, I went to the beach to ride my bike and have some fun. The crowds were incredible due to the record size waves. The power of nature is incredible!
As I road from Balboa (The Wedge) down to Seal Beach and back, I couldn’t help but notice how so many people are still lacking fitness and weight management. Don’t get me wrong, many people looked great. It was obvious they live the fitness lifestyle.
This got me thinking…….. What are so many people still missing?
I want to make sure that YOU have everything you want and need to be fit, lean and strong. So, here’s a quick list of what is needed to look and feel the part.
You need motivation, clarity of thought, and the elimination of self-sabotage. No problem, MY PERSONAL COACH can help you this coming weekend. Check out CORE TRANSFORMATION.
You need deep, quality sleep. It’s actually more complex than just getting to bed at a decent hour. You can fall asleep more easily, dream in brilliant color, awake refreshed and benefit from the hormone optimization that comes with perfect sleep. You can learn EVERYTHING you need to know with my special report. It’s my gift to you. Grab the DREAM DIET REPORT at http://www.spencerbroadcasting.com.
Quality, fresh, organic foods will give you more energy, reduce inflammation, and help you stay lean. Remember, it’s most important to buy your organic food from local growers. Buying “organic” food from out of the area (or country) does not guarantee it’s really organic. For a fun experience, shop at Whole Foods at The District in Tustin. Incredible!!!
Quality food is #1. However, supplementation is a great addition to ensure there are no gaps in your diet. I suggest that you take a good multi-vitamin and Omega 3 to get started. If you want a NATURAL and non-addictive supplement for enhanced sleep, try MySleep. Here’s the link to my online nutritional supplement store.
One thing that I’ve learned about fitness (and life) is that if you don’t have a good enough reason “why” you should make a change, you likely won’t make ANY change. You may be moving towards something you want such better health, or away from something such as mental or physical pain.
Find what really moves YOU into action. Learn what motivates you most. Discover your full potential. There has never been a better time to stand above the crowd. While others may ponder, you will move ahead and gain the benefits of a healthy body and strong mind.I’m always here to help you reach your goals. All you have to do is ask!
Be well!
John
