Elliptical Training

Elliptical Training

Elliptical training offers a low impact work out whose users are known to burn nearly twice the calories when compared to using a conventional treadmill. Sounds like a might bold statement, I know. This occurrence is known as the “Rate of Perceived Exertion.”  It is a trick on the body of sorts. An elliptical work out burns the same amount of calories in a good deal less time as compared to a treadmill, a seemingly “easier” task to the body. This allows users to work out longer, burning more calories!

My dieting aunt

My dieting aunt

Being overweight is a huge burden on the body, both physically and mentally. I remember my aunt always being on a diet. It seemed she was fanatical about her weight and constantly worried about it. She tried every new diet that came along. Diet formulas like the grapefruit diet, once meal a day diet, and the famous Adkins diet too. In looking back, I think she spent the better part of twenty years trying to loose weight and keep the weight off. Finally, she turned to diet pills to help curb her appetite. A diet pill that works can be a great tool when used properly. Portion control, eliminating junk food, and exercise along with the used of diet pills were the keys to my aunt’s success. She is in her early seventies, and no longer has a need for diet pills yet still maintains her weight. She is healthy and happy, asserting still today that diet pills were...

A Recipe For Longevity: 33 Of The Healthiest Foods On Earth

David H. Murdock is Chairman and owner of Dole Food Company, Inc., the world’s largest producer and marketer of fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, packaged and frozen foods. Is it possible to live to 125 or maybe 150? It’s certainly a possibility, as discussed on Oprah Winfrey’s recent show on longevity. She visited me at my farm to learn how, at 86, I am enjoying the robust health, energy, and mental creativity of someone many decades younger. My secret: large quantities of fruit and vegetables, plus an hour of daily exercise. No pills, not even aspirin, and certainly no supplements ever enter my mouth — everything I need comes from my fish-vegetarian diet, which incorporates 30-40 different kinds of fruit and vegetables every week. Even though I am Chairman and Owner of Dole Food Company, I do most of my own grocery shopping, and even took Oprah on an impromptu trip to Costco, in a day that included bike riding, exercise in...
