Health Factors: Part 2

• Vitamin C:  It’s been suggested that taking large amounts of vitamin C on a regular basis can be a benefit for your health.  This has not been tested to confirm if true or not.
• Get strong:  Physical strength is considered to be the most important thing in life.  As we have developed throughout history physical strength has remained critical to our health and our daily life.  Our strength determines the quality and the quantity of our life.
• Take a nap:  Power naps will refresh you in just 20 minutes.  Sleep is the most powerful medicine we have
• Fats:  Increasing your dietary fat can actually help you get leaner.  Include fish oil caps and your body will be primed to burn fat and build muscle at the same time.
• Jump rope:  Jumping rope allows you to maintain coordination and is a great foundational exercise to help establish footwork and will keep your cardiovascular system healthy without the pounding on your joints that running creates.
• Wake up at the same time everyday:  Getting up at the same time everyday is great for your energy levels and keeps you productive.  The practice also forces you to rethink decisions when you do decide to stay up too late.
• Check email ONLY twice per day:  Being reactive every time your email alert sounds has been found to create psychological stress equivalent to sleep deprivation.
  Disconnect for a day every week:  Don’t touch the internet, don’t look at the iPhone, don’t check email and definitely don’t do any business related tasks.  Just one day a week disconnect from the world and focus on your family and/or yourself AND nobody else.
• Fast:  Do this periodically (once or twice per week max) and you’ll feel great.  Fasting will help you get leaner, increase your production of growth hormone and learn a little about yourself and how many decisions you make throughout the day because of food?  Try fasting for a 24 hour period.
• Train with Kettlebells:  With just 10 basic and foundational exercises you can gain muscle, lose fat and move better (and therefore be healthier) just by using a kettlebell.
