Three "Hot Numbers" That Every Health Freak Must Know
By: Bean Jones
Isn't it strange that most people just focus on weight when it comes to doing the fitness math? It seems that we've forgotten that there are other "hot numbers" that are just as important.
Proving that there are other desirable digits, check out the ones summed up by experts:
15
This is the minimum number of times in a day wherein you need to laugh out loud. Aside from improving your respiration rate and enhancing your circulation, a good old guffaw has other health benefits. A study done by the Carnegie Mellon University reveals that when happy people were exposed to the cold virus, they were three times less likely to get the sniffles than their grumpy colleagues.
24
Though it may seem unbelievable, Dr. Tom Seabourne, co-author of Athletic Abs, says that this is the prescribed number of crunches you need to do every other day to tone your abs. Thus, he states that you don't need to do a thousand crunches to get a toned tummy. "In fact," he adds, "overworking your abs can be unhealthy and cause back injury, because all that repetitive motion puts undue pressure on your spinal discs."
2,000
Dr. Holly Wyatt of the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center reveals that this is the number of extra steps you probably need to take each day to prevent putting on two extra pounds each year. Don't fret--2,000 steps can be accomplished via 15 minutes of brisk walking.
If anything, these digits should distract people from the unhealthy obsession with the numbers on the weighing scale. To win the battle of wills against your "evil" weighing scale, plan your fitness program according to the energy-boosting lessons on Simpleology 103.
And, hey, I don't know about you...but I think these hot numbers are way more empowering than the ones on the scale. For starters, I'm pretty sure I'd never dread seeing them first thing in the morning.

I watch my weight - I watch what I eat - and I support my body-system with ALL NATURE "medicin" , I never take artifical chemical pills , and to be sick is Not programed in my mind and system .
i GO EVERY DAY AT LEAST 1 HOUR EXORCIZE WALKING.. LOL..MY BODY DEMAND IT , miss it in my system if I cant really do so !
Is not a "Disziplin".. is a "Feel good Demand " of my body !
I did change my FOOD Habits, No Sugar ! No Fat !
No eating late evenings !
....
ALL A PURE MIND SET!
NOT SO HARD AS IT SOUND !!!
.. just change you "Believing and you change your WHOLE WORLD"..
OKOK... sounds for many people HARD.. is not so truly !
The HARD PART on all is "MAKE THE DECISION" TO DO SO !
"NOT EXCUSES"... bring any good or changes in anyone life !
But , oh yes, EXCUSES are much easier and more comfortable - I know !@!
OK, I have to tell also,
I do "Life Coaching & Nature Healing" , ACC EFT Practioner and Light Energy Healings ( also Reiki& Seichim Master),
and I refuse all chemicals as much its possible in my life ...

I am 5'4 tall .
Little much from this "fast food" here in America, I never was this over-weight in my whole life before I cam from Germany to here !!!
Did need over one year to losing in nature way, safe and healthy , 40 pounds!
I m now between 130 and max.135 pounds!
AND I KEEP IT !

I am 56 now and can really say, I am happy and got all peace inside me,
and I am nearly in perfect
Health and shape !
I want everyone to think about this :
YOU CAN BUY A NEW COMPUTER, A NEW CAR, A NEW HOME ,

This remind nutrition in our poor countries and the way they are handled.It was in great level mistaken if you can trace the same people's health history you will find that they were gigantic,though healthy.
I think all this is a great idea. Health is a great way to start the day.
