How to Maintain Body Fitness with no Diet Instead Motivate Your Body Parts

Anxious about your body fitness as unhealthy eating habit leaves a negative impact on one�s body. Being fit has nothing to do with your process of diet. In fact I came across an acronym for the word diet and how actually it affects us:

D: depressing

I: illogical

E: excessive

T: taxing

N Number of times you may have heard someone saying they are on diet for weight reducing. Diet has been so much in trend from the past times that it is numerous and spread across. Diet for sure have a place in clinical scenarios but regular guys like us who are active or want to be in shape requires clean eating rather diet followed. Clean eat is full of nutrition hence a big role is played by them in our fitness world. Therefore one must not cut down in calories if thinking it by means of fad diet as a way of filter body. Rather it simply means better intake of food for enhanced results. And in case reducing on your nutrients can work against us that is less eating can store fat on to our body.

One cannot sustain diet lifestyle as it is too restrictive and sometimes remove the important macronutrients from our meal. And instead one must focus on eating macronutrients which include good amount of proteins, healthy fats and essential carbohydrates. Any nutrition plan you have must eliminate vital nutrients to reach goals earlier. It might seem to you enticing and one should believe in it if something sounds too good chances of truth is also high.

To reduce your body fat and process of gaining muscles you don�t have to eat less rather you must focus on clean and healthy eatables. Consumption of nutrient dense foods like vegetables, lean meat, whole grains, nuts and seeds all will help you in reaching your goal for living healthy and fit life. Nutritious foods you intake contain fewer calories hence giving the freedom of eating more and not felling guilty either. Health fitnessshould be enjoyed if you have made decision on living a healthy life instead taking it as burden. Whereas in case of diet it can make you feel deprived and frustrated.

Exercising with clean eat is the best combination of behavioral style of living. Walk the prime and basic form of exercise along with its counterpart such as jogging and running. The whole body is involved in walking with no equipment and no special gear needed and also can take place anywhere. Walking gives you plentiful advantages just any other form of exercise have in its account.

Benefits:

�         Control check on blood pressure

�         Lowers the cholesterol

�         Increase Bone density

�         Reduce risk of stroke

�         Lowers the risk of heart attack

Regular walk is a great management tool for keeping an eye on your weight but more of effective method needs to be in picture. As it demands less of physical involvement you will need to add other strategies at your disposal to get the desired results.

1.    Work on pace and duration: A close relationship is being observed between how quickly you   increase your fitness and how far you walk. If you are slower you need to run farther and if you run   fast you can cut down to the distance travelled. So you need to keep check on your run.

2.      Find a hill or locate stairs: Incline is great way to take any workout to another level. It is not needed to tell you that hill or stairs will recruit your lower body a bit differently than flat terrain which will enhance full body effects.

3.     Add weights to your weight: Not really. Adding extra weight while walking or on climbing of stairs. You can either hold weights in hands or tie on your ankle while climbing your home stairs nearby your house stairs. Taking up of equally distributed weight on your body will not alter the way you climb stairs and also will not lead to any injury cause as well.

4.    Get creative: be innovative with your walks as by adding up new and different form of exercises   while you have a walk. Have a look around the path you go for daily walk. Drop out and do a set of   pushups, triceps dips, burpees, mountain climbing, etc. Locate a playing ground and do some jumps on the swing, hang from a bar for chin up or leg raise. Hence being productive with walking will make it more fun while practicing.

Why wait tie up your lace sneakers and get stated with.

Monthly Retrospect on What to Eat to Stay Healthy and Fit

No more wonder on what to eat to stay healthy and fit. Treat yourself with the best of regime so as to enjoy the results later. Being fit and look healthy is what everyone wishes for as many are surrounded with obese people. But there are few who actually achieve what they desire for. Definitely you need to make sacrifices to have something in your account which for sure you going to appreciate later. Your goal should be to see yourself as the best version of yours you have had and be ahead of a journey where each day is spend like never before. To be fit and healthy one need to keep a check on dietary.

A common myth that travel among all of us is healthy eating is boring and sapless. Rather it�s a misconception as you will only come across declaring it plain and bore by trying it for a week. And then after a week or two you will find yourself enjoying the food and the same diet gives you energy as well to perform your best of workout. Follow a healthy diet that will help you in giving your 100% at gym as well when lifting weight for the first time. Often we fail to understand the importance of health in our lifestyle. As intake of good nutrients and nutrition�s filled diet, along doing physical activity and rest is must as your medicine.

In case you are motivated for a continual walk and you never miss a single day of your jogging but eating unhealthy will not give you results. And now when you are moving on a path for your own benefit you have a strong desire and don�t ever let it fade away. Only contribution from your end should be of iron will as to believe in yourself robustly. Being vigorous living and how to make our body fit is totally in our own hand. Either we can make our looks it or destroy our personality by not paying attention to it.

With the right kind of eating you need to have right kind of exercises too be practiced. Living a life with excuses will not change your in appearance instead will make you worse. But following the right dietary along with few of the exercises regularly and will get you in shape. Anyone and everyone here is to talk but what make fit people different is they don�t say attitude and they actually do it as actions speak louder than words. Instead of talking on it over and over again one must implement and have results in favor. I do understand healthy living is none of the priority but it should be if you want to live long and stay young.

With no doubt in your capability speaking about general people if change is determined than achieving it is no more difficult task. As you decided to see a different you or change in you just by thinking you are half there. To see changes in one-self you need to accept your current lifestyle which includes admitting on making excuses, not eating healthy, less sleep, more stress, and a never ending list of such excuses to run away from being in a fit world. It is important to understand why you should make your health the number one priority.

Neither it�s a myth nor unrealistic that you cannot live a healthy lifestyle. Rather anyone can have an active and good looking body physique with wellness of living beautifully. Healthy living is not an occasional event rather a full time effort giving for having sweet fruits later of your hard worker. If you have a gym membership it�s good and if not one must take it. And before getting started with weight training one must acquire the knowledge of carefully handling the fitness equipment and what purpose does it serve for your body. Hitting gym thrice a week is must and one should never miss a Monday.

Start with simple cardio slowly moving to weight training session with each day working for a specific part of body. First day go for the chest workout, then back, shoulder, biceps, triceps and finally leg day. Here you conclude your week full workout training. Don�t just sit simply get up and get yourself first a membership of any good gym nearby you.

St. Joseph's Home Animal Assisted Therapy Briefing

HOPE was invited by St Joseph's Home to speak about animal-assisted therapy. Fiona Foo, founder of HOPE Dog Rescue and trainer of Singapore's very first Hokkien therapy dog, Button, was the speaker at the event. Besides Fiona, some of our volunteers and doggy ambassador, Harper, attended the event. 

Animal-assisted therapy, as the name suggests, is a form of therapy that incorporates animals. It is believed, and backed by numerous studies, that animals make the best therapists! Studies have shown that interactions with animals reduce stress in people. Just playing with or petting animals increases the production of the stress-reducing hormone oxytocin, at the same time decreases the production of the stress hormone cortisol. Therapy dogs have been used in hospitals, hospices, nursing homes and special schools, helping with healing and rehabilitation by lifting the spirits of the people they meet at these places. 

While various types of animals can be used as therapy animals, dogs are the most common. Therapy dogs are not the same as service dogs. While the latter usually have all the characteristics of a therapy dog, their main purpose is to help humans with disabilities to navigate day-to-day life. Service dogs should not be interacted with while they are working as this may distract them from paying attention to their human's needs. Unlike service dogs, human interaction is encouraged with therapy dogs as they are there to increase the mental and emotional well-being of people other than their handlers. 

That's our little Harper 

While therapy dogs do not require as much training as service dogs, not all dogs are suited to be therapy dogs. Because these dogs are expected to interact with many people who may not know how to interact correctly with dogs, they need to be of stable temperament, friendly and easy-going. They should also not be be excitable as too much excitement may not be good for some of the people they meet, so they should be of a calm disposition. The owner, and handler, of therapy dogs also play a big part as they would be the ones to facilitate the introduction between animal and human.

The talk at St Joseph's Home was to kick-off the animal-assisted therapy program at the home. Come 7 July, we will have our first therapy session at the home. This will be an ongoing program and sessions will take place every first Saturday of the month. Harper will accompany us on these visits as training to see if she is suited to be a therapy dog.

Why People Are Still Buying Dogs?

�Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.�

Dog lovers will surely agree when we say this; however many may falter when asked the all-important question, �buy or adopt�. Just as there are many reasons to shop for your dream pooch at your local pet store, there are just as many compelling ones to adopt one! But first, let us look at what lies beneath the innocent facade of cute pet shops and the true origins of �that adorable puppy� in the window.

Two words - puppy mills. These are large-scale, high volume commercial dog breeding facilities where profit is attained at the expense of innocent lives. Bred and raised solely for monetary gains, these puppies and their mummies are kept in shockingly unsanitary and overcrowded conditions which in fact increases their susceptibility to diseases. Surely they get proper food and veterinary care then? The answer is very often NO.

Singapore is also no stranger to such abhorrent scandals. Over the years there have been numerous cases of pet shops and animal farms suspected of breeding puppies in substandard living conditions, with some clear-cut cases of abuse and negligence having surfaced as well. For example, in 2010, a batch of more than 70 malnourished dogs were rescued from an abandoned puppy mill.

Assessments done by Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (ACRES) has revealed that 83% of local pet farms do not provide basic welfare for animals; this means not ensuring the length of the cage to be at least two times the length of the animal from nose to base of tail, and for the width be at least one-and-a-half times the length of animal.

Despite hearing and knowing about the state of these puppy mills and sad, torturous lives of breeding dogs � many people are still foolishly paying thousands for each dog. Why?

�I�m paying thousands for a pure-bred dog that has �papers� to prove.� It is a known fact that such �papers� may be easily obtained with payment, or even through forgery. The certificate also says nothing about the conditions in which the puppies are bred and raised. In short, there is no guarantee that the �pure-bred� dog you buy is healthy or free from genetic defects. All these papers mean is that breeders and pet shops are �entitled� to sell their puppies at a much higher price.

When you adopt a dog, you spend a miniscule fraction of the cost and not to mention:

• You are giving them a second chance at life; they will be forever thankful!
• You are getting exactly what you see; shelter dogs have been checked and inspected (and sometimes even pee-pad trained), and you will be informed of their health conditions if any    
• You are indirectly helping to put an end to the horrible practice of puppy mills.
• You are making yourself feel good by doing good!

By opening your home and heart to foster a dog, you are spreading and sharing hope and goodwill!

Aid to Senior Citizens

Hope started out as a dog rescue. Over the years, we have extended our "clientele" to furry pals of the feline nature as well. But it is not just the four-pawed species that we help. We also help the humans we come across in our rescue work that require help themselves. 

Chinnu & Mdm Puspa

We always hear stories of people abandoning their pets like they were yesterday's news. What we hear less of are the stories of those who do all they can to keep their pets, no matter the struggles they have to face or the costs to themselves. These are the people that give us hope that not all is lost for humankind, that there are still people out there who are compassionate and kind. And these are the people we would gladly help.

Mr. Akira

Over the years, we have come across senior citizens and low income families who have pets that they love and would not give up for the world. They would rather scrimp on their own wants and needs than make their pets go hungry or cold. There have been numerous studies showing that keeping pets is beneficial to one's health. Pets can help reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and increase social interaction and physical activity. This is great news for people of all ages, but more so the elderly. Walking and playing with their dogs can help them to keep up with their own physical health. Interacting with their dogs (and other dog lovers they meet on their walks) can improve their emotional well-being and provide the mental stimulation that may stave off dementia. 

Benji, the miniature schanuzer

Knowing how these families benefit from having dogs around, and seeing first hand just how much their dogs love them back, we can't help but want to do all we can to keep them together. In the last 5 years, Hope has taken a more active role in helping senior citizens and low income families keep their families, furry companion included, together. We provide dog food and medical aid for the dogs so that these families can use more of their income on their own needs. If the families need other types of assistance, we refer them to the right community welfare organizations. We make sure that they have all the help they need to live well with their dogs. 

Pebbles

There is not a bond so special as that between a dog and its human. This is nowhere more evident then in these cases where material comfort is not a main factor in the relationship and all that keeps a human and his, or her, dog together are pure love for, and the joy they bring to each other. While Hope started out as a dog rescue, our work is not limited to dogs. We will extend our hand to humans who, like us, understand and appreciate the gift that is the dog. If you, too, wish to help these families stay together, email hopedogrescue@singnet.com.sg for more details.
