Many Americans are faced with health risks that start off with obesity. Be it due to a culture of unhealthy eating habits, a life devoid of exercise regimens or even the lack of concern for decreasing weight, more people are facing other health issues such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

For many people, the health risks associated with being overweight are quite alarming. More people are being rushed into hospitals or subjected to expensive in-clinic treatments just so they can shave a few inches off their bodies or a few pounds of their total body weight. More people are leading lives which can be pretty limited because of such health concerns and these realities are something that we have to face head on and deal with.

It is a good thing that there are organizations such as Mbodyment’s Action Against Obesity Foundation (MAAOF), the creator of Mbodyment Fitness. It is through this organization that many lives have changed for the better. The focal point of Mbodyment Fitness are the best and latest fitness programs and products that include the popular Slim in 6, Hip Hop Abs, P90X, Kathy Smith’s: Project YOU and the Yoga Booty Ballet to name a few. The success of these products and programs has been widely popular, thus, making the products and fitness programs almost household names in American society.

One thing that sets Mbodyment Fitness apart from the many weight-loss programs out in the market now is its ability to introduce products and systems that are highly doable and achievable. Many of the weight loss programs, for instance, can be easily incorporated into the common lifestyle of the American. Huge changes in lifestyles are not the basis for success, so achievement of weight loss, fitness and diet goals are more realistic.

Another thing that sets Mbodyment Fitness apart is the fact that health support is encouraged though its coaching system. For example, anyone can lose weight while at the same time get morale, emotional and actual support online. Any person can sign up as part of the Mbodyment Fitness health community. Peer communities and coaching networks are in place so each person can have full support from the start to finish of his health and nutrition program. Not only that, but practically anyone can get the needed guidance and help online with the use of Mbodyment Fitness products, programs and the community itself.

Obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases as well as other obesity-related health problems can now be dealt with realistically. The fitness and health programs offered by Mbodyment Fitness are all based on real conditions and real lifestyles of Americans, thus, embracing a diet program that becomes easy and doable. In the end, lives are changed for the better, not just temporarily, but long-term.

Love is the illustration (the act of showing and not spoken) and range of human emotions and experiences that manifests itself into various levels of affection and attraction.

Love is the utmost affection for a significant other, friend, family member or even that of an object, cause or desire.

Love is an act and feeling that has no limit of one’s ability to love, whom to love or what to love.

Love is the union of the mind, body and soul.

Love is you, me and everything that surrounds us even in the troubled and confused world in which we co exist.

Love is good, love is kind, love is selfish, love is envy.

Love brings forth strength, love brings forth weakness.

Love is the multitude of meaning and has no one definition or conviction.

Love is . . .

I am a caring and peaceful girl.

I wonder how the world will be in 80 years,
I hear the wind whistle through the trees,
I see grass dance across the valley,
I want to see all that I can see.

I am a caring and peaceful girl.

I pretend to be a majestic eagle soaring across the sky,
I feel the agony of others in my mind,
I touch the clouds that towers over me,
I worry about the environment in which we exist,
I cry for those in need.

I am a caring and peaceful girl.

I understand the pain of losing something you love,
I say live within every precious moment that is given,
I dream about serenity for all living kind,
I try to be the best I can be,
I hope for the acceptance of everyone’s individuality.

I am a caring and peaceful girl.

“As our minds and souls are prime elements of our physical and spiritual existence,  I take such delight and honor in sharing this poem written by my 13 year old daughter.” 

My first mammogram was scheduled for January 9, 2009, however there were reservations in doing so. As I struggled and wrestled with the idea of going through the procedure late throughout the night and early morning, I was prompted to research the possible dangers of mammography, if any at all. As a result, there was an abundance of information that was available. Needless to say, my fears were confirmed and my appointment was canceled. Many of you may say, “What a foolish thing to do”, however you may have a change of heart once you’ve read just many of the resources that were so readily accessible.

As I share my thoughts, I am aware and prepared to deal with the controversy and ridicule that may arise from this topic primarily as a result of the different conditioning mindsets. As many of us know, the medical industry is not always on our side, particularly the common person. As we journey through life in a society that is governed by the practices of profit and population control, it is vital that we take control of our lives and decide what is right for us and not that of societal dictations. For this reason, it is my duty to share information that can make a difference in one’s life. If I can impress upon just one person, then a good deed has been done.

 Here’s one of the many informationals that may interest those that are willing to open their minds void from the thoughts that have been indiscreetly and involuntarily placed into our minds through societal impressions and dictations. Forgive my frankness, but it is necessary. Meanwhile, visit Fit and 40 Something for details regarding the dangers of mammography.

The concept of being in balance is the desire and act of restoring the natural equilibrium in all facets. As balance defines our Universe and not human existence, we must re-position ourselves psychologically so that balance is created in our daily lives.  As I apply, observe, research and struggle with the steps of repositioning my thoughts and the desire of a better quality of life, I can truly believe ‘freedom’ is merely around the corner.

Here’s a fantastic inspirational video that must be shared with the readers that are seeking spiritual and intellectual freedom.

Mbodyment is calling to action the fight against obesity by launching the Mbodyment’s Action Against Obesity Foundation (MAAOF). As many know, America is one of the fattest countries on Earth and has plagued our society. Obesity is the leading cause of diseases such as Type II Diabetes, Cancer, Heart Disease, Liver Disease, Sleep Apnea, Osteoarthritis, Depression and many more. These disease are life threatening and will shorten a life span by ten to twenty years.

Support this operation in order that individuals may seek and find the will to live. Today, make a commitment by helping others reclaim their lives by making a donation to the Mbodyment’s Action Against Obesity Foundation (MAAOF). Donations will be applied to the launching of the MAAOF.

A considerable carbohydrate intake results the body to burn the carbohydrates for energy rather than for the consumption of muscle mass. For this reason, an increased carbohydrate diet can minimize the fat burning process with less probability of building or maintaining muscle mass. For those that execute cardio for purposes of losing fat, it is important a high protein intake is sustained in conjunction with strength training to facilitate the construction and preservation of muscle mass.

Although it is a possibility to lose muscle from excessive cardio, the chances are less likely with adequate balance and judgment. As cardio is of an important function to health and fitness, it is ill-advised to exclude it from your exercise regimen for the sake of ‘muscle loss paranoia’. There’s life with cardio and muscle mass!

A moderate-intense 20 minute cardio approximately 3 - 4 times a week will reduce the loss of muscle mass. However, this may differ based on an individual’s body type, size and goals.

As a distance runner of 7 miles, approximately 3 - 4 times a week, the depletion of muscle mass was in the works. Consequently, I was prompted to condense my highly addicted 7 mile distance run to a 20 minute ‘moderate to high’ intensity cardio at least 3 - 4 times a week.

Creatine, also known as creatine citrate, creatine monohydrate, and creatine phosphate, is a natural compound produced naturally in the human body. It is produced in the liver and approximately 95% of the body’s creatine content is stored in the skeletal muscles. As it is produced by the liver and sent to the muscles, it is converted into phosphocreatine molecules that stores energy to the muscles.

As the body creates a fraction of creatine, the rest is from the foods we consume, primarily fish and red meats. Moreover, creatine is taken as a vitamin supplement while producing added energy. Creatine supplements are generally consumed by athletes for purposes of enhanced performance and endurance. As creatine is stored inside the muscle cell, it attracts the water while surrounding the muscle and therefore enlargens it. By means of increased energy, strength and muscle mass, it is ideal for strength training, particularly body building.

Creatine may possibly have some side effects such as diarrhea, cramps and dehydration. Weight gain is particularly common as a result of increased water retention in the muscle. The long-term effect (greater than 10 years) of taking creatine over a extensive duration of time has yet to be determined. Despite the improbability of long term effects, creatine is not suggested for persons with a kidney disorder.

For the reason there is a great deal of misinformation regarding creatine, it is recommended to thoroughly research the facts before determining whether creatine is right for you!
