Health and You

Welcome to my blog and if you have donated to Children with Leukaemia at the Virginmoneygiving site thank you it is very much appreciated if not and you would like to then here is the address http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com. The aim is to raise £5,000 and to donate that money in the names of friends and colleagues who have sadly left us much before their time, more about that later.

Over the next few months I want to share with you some of the things I have learned over the past 10 years from my study of Human Potential and Personal Development as well as Health, Fitness and Nutrition. At first glance you might think that this is a very broad range but I want to give you as much as I can in the hope that you pick up at least one thing that will add value to your life and besides real health is as much, if not more, about mind as it is about body and depending where you are on your journey you could add spirit but we will discuss all these as we go.

No matter where you are right now in Mind, Body or Spirit know that you have the power within you to improve your overall wellbeing without making huge sacrifices, in fact if it's not enjoyable then it isn't doing you any good, the 'no pain no gain' theory is not true and we wont be discussing it here.

Other words we wont be using are 'Lose' and 'Dieting' as they both suggest sacrifice. The worst possible thing you could do is set out to lose something, your brain is designed to find anything you lose, ever wonder why someone 'loses' 10lbs only to put it back on (found it yessss!!) plus a extra 5 or 6lbs just so you know what a clever brain you have!!
As for dieting the minute you decide upon dieting everything you are 'giving up' becomes more irresistible so why do you think that is? Well it's fairly simple it's because it is what you are focused on it's what is occupying your mind - the chocolate, the muffins or whatever their equivalent is there like a hologram in front of saying "aah you have been really good you have gone a whole three hours without a snack and you are having a salad for lunch you deserve a treat, you are such a hero", well we are going to use this to our advantage to achieve things you may already have given up on so stay with me here!

Our time together will be spent on gains, winners gain, losers lose, that's the deal and it's how the mind works!

To get us started I came across an article on the benefits of Green Tea and as this blog site is dedicated to your very good health I thought that this one simple addition to your daily intake would be a great way to start this journey. I will leave you here and post both these articles, we have so much good stuff to cover it's tempting to keep writing.

Live out loud,

Liam
