Are You A Couch Potato?

This blog is based upon a very important study that was just reported by the press. We are excited about this information because it reinforces the principles that we teach in our wellness programs.

Most people assume that they can be as inactive as they want as long as they follow the recommendation of the government and do 150 minutes of moderate activity a week. This is not so.

Researchers have found that it is also important not to spend the rest of your time being a couch potato. The study included 2,286 people age 60 an over. The conclusion was that being sedentary will lead to problems "independent of time spent in moderate or vigorous activity." People who replace even half an hour of sedentary time with 30 minutes of light activity can improve their health.

The bottom line is that a moving body is less likely to get rusty that a sedentary body. Obviously everyone needs and is entitled to some down time. Just do not make it most of the time when you are not exercising.

Is a Fast Heart Rate Healthy or Unhealthy?

How fast is your resting heart rate? The answer may not be as simple as it sounds. Why? Because there is so much variation from person to person and over the course of the day it varies for the same person. Your heart rate may be slow in the morning and faster in the afternoon.

In general a slower heart rate is better than a faster rate. Recently a study followed a large number of middle aged and older men who agreed to be subjects. It was discovered. that an elevated resting heart rate in healthy subjects is not only a marker of poor general fitness but it is also an independent risk factor that may be a better predictor of premature death than elevated blood pressure or high cholesterol.

The important take away fact is that even though there is general agreement on the fact that an elevated resting heart rate is not a good thing, there is no consensus on what an optimal heart rate is and where increased health risks begin.

If you check your own pulse when you are at rest and your heart rate is greater than 100 you should be concerned. How do you slow it down without taking medications? Consult with a physician. With his consent start a gradually progressive exercise program. We present such a program in our book Live Longer Live Healthier. Within a few months you will notice differences in your appearance, in your energy level and probably observe that your resting heart rate is beginning to slow down.

How Do I Eat For Dynamic Energy?

The power of eating well  can not be overemphasized. How and what you eat has a greater impact on your body than anything else you can do. Even more important than exercise is the fuel, the nutrients, and the vitamins that you take in.


The problem with eating is that people are confused. Americans are bombarded with so much information every day that the message gets lost with the words. Add to that the fact that the food and diet industries have been dishing out misinformation for years. Its no wonder people are confused.

We have created the TriEnergetics nutritional plan to sift through the half-truths and give you an easy-to-understand, simple to follow plan for eating for optimal health. This plan is based on the best nutritional science and has been tested and proven to be effective in our seminars.

How Much Copper Do you Need?

Copper is a trace metal essential needed for energy production, wound healing, nervous system health and other body functions. It is highly unusual to have a problem with too much copper in your system, but having too little copper can exacerbate arthritis, cancer, osteoporosis, depressed immunity and neurological problems.

There is even some evidence that copper supplementation may slow Alzheimer's disease. The bottom line is that some copper should be in your diet. There are many foods such as nuts, seeds whole grains and legumes that are rich in copper. Other than that you should take a multivitamin that supplies no more than 100% of the RDA for copper.

Diets Don't Work

Obesity is rampant in America. The percentage of Americans who are obese has increased from 13% in 1962 to 36% in 2010. Obesity and the effect that this extra poundage has on health is estimated to cost our healthcare system about $117 billion dollars a year. This exceeds the costs associated smoking or excessive drinking. This expense is a primary reason for the ever upward spiral of health costs.

The diet industry feeds on obesity. A fortune is spent on commercials touting the amazing fat melting attributes of this or that diet program. What a waste! It has been shown over and over again that diets do not work. Yes it is possible to lose weight when you diet. What you are not told is that over 90% of people who diet will regain that weight rapidly unless they change their lifestyle.

This is the message we have for you in our book Live Longer Live Healthier. We tell you up front that diets do not work. Then we give you a carefully designed easy to follow program that will coax you into a healthier lifestyle. In the process you will lose a lot of weight and you will keep it off.

We guarantee it!

What Is The Foundation Of Good Health?

Think of yourself as a beautiful building: a skyscraper, a cathedral, or a country home. In order to function, that building needs a stable foundation, strong supporting walls, and on top of it all, a roof for protection from the elements. If one is missing, the building will be incomplete. You can't have a roof without walls, and you can't have walls without a foundation. Each component works in concert with the others to achieve it's goal.

Now relate this to your health. Nutrition forms the foundation upon which your health is built. Exercise gives you the strength to support your everyday activities, and meditation shelters your mind from the constant bombardment of stress that accompanies modern life.

We've made it easy to bring your body, mind and nourishment into balance. All you need to do is take a little bit of time each day to follow the suggestions in our ebook for that week.
