An interesting article in the Womens Health & Fitness Magazine has given me food for thought.Have you ever heard it said "I want to come back as a male " Well ladies I will probably live to regret saying this but I think we could learn a thing or two from our male friends when it comes to our well being .
1- Have you noticed how a lot of men don't struggle with their weight like we women do?.....Why ??? It is quiet simple men eat more protein foods. "Feed the man meat" Protein foods promote satiety .The scientific term for fullness.Therefore preventing over eating .
2- They drink beer. Yep it's full of carbs .But according to research beer is a significant source of dietary silcon, a key ingredient for increasing bone mineral density .This is no excuse to down a six pack guys ..everything in moderation. Stick to the recommended 2 drinks per day.
3-Men use Weights more then women.While we women do use weights we tend to use them for muscle isolation rather then working muscles together .Working more muscles , working them harder will give much better results.
4- Men are not big sweet eaters preferring to pile their plate high with meat (protein).Research also has found men rarely binge. Keep a healthy option on stand by ladies .
5-Housework is a no go zone.Now before you all jump up and down here what the article is saying is this .Men don't see it as a priority.A man will put his mates and work and sport before house work .Men don't stress the little stuff. A man will respond better to a to do list in this situation ladies . Give it a go !
6-Men play more team sports.Research here suggests the social and health benifits are huge . Consider a walk on your own verse a game of netball . You can not only burn as many calories but catch up with friends.We are after all supposed to be the supe
rior multi taskers.
7-Men Rarely get stressed.They use the fight or flight instinct. Meaning they deal with it then and there or they just let it go.
8- Men are methodical.This part of the article I found very interesting . While we women can and do multi task our male counterparts tend to focus on one task at a time .Research here says " The area connecting the right part of the brain to the left is thicker in women allowing more ideas to flow .Women find it harder to immediately distinguish their right and left hand because they use both sides of the brain at the same time.Men have a dominate side of the brain allowing them to tell right from left instantly."
So ladies agree or disagree here the research does explain a little.Cant wait to hear opinions on this .

An AWSUM christmas gift.
AWSUMBODY is putting together a christmas package .Christmas is a busy time of year and we often find the dollars just don't go far enough .It is for this reason that we want to give all the opportunity to be ready for a healthy happy christmas and new year.
Our health and nutrition seem to be one of the first things we put on the back burner to deal with later . Have you noticed how later never comes?
While we put the finishing touches to our package consider the last time you put your health first . When was the last time you felt a glow from the inside out? Don't leave your health until it's to late to many rely on you .It's time you spent a little time and effort on yourself particularly the mums out there. Have an AWSUM day all.

A few extra kilo's
You have gone to put on that summer outfit you loved so much Last year only to discover it no longer fits.While you felt you had put on a little weight it didn't seem to be that much .Now you go and get on the scales and are shocked to find that the little extra you weren,t concerned about is 10 kilo's.
It is so often the case over the winter months and because it happens over a period of months we don't notice it to much and don,t become concerned until we see it either in clothes not fitting or a number on the scales.
Now consider this gradual increase in weight and the effects it's having on your body. Firstly your heart followed by your lungs,kidneys and so on .It's the little things like all of a sudden it's not so easy to run up the stairs or chase after your little ones .You find yourself stopping to catch your breath and sweating more .You ask your self "When did I become unfit?"It's not that you have become unfit but that your carrying extra kilos and still expecting your body to do what it used to be able to. Of course there is going to be some sort of effect we just don't think about it often just assuming we are unfit and while this may be the case it is mostly because of the extra pressure we have placed on our body.
So now you want to do something about it and fast . Remember you have put the weight on over a period of time .Why do we expect our bodies to do the impossible and lose those kilo's over night .Don't get me wrong there are ways you can drop body fat fast however in our experience these overnight solutions are just that and just as you will have lost a few kilos over night they will be back.because these overnight solutions cannot be maintained . If you can't maintain the weightloss solution for the rest of your life then they won't work for very long.It is also important you reconise where things went wrong ....what was it that changed?How did these extra kilo's come about?What have you been doing differently? Once you can pin point this you are half way there.
Now to get back into that favourite summer outfit. set yourself a goal and look at a long term solution so you don't find yourself here again.
Awsumbody believes by educating you on good eating habits and a little exercise you can maintain that beachbody all year around .
