The evidence is clear that EATING a balanced, whole food, plant-based meal plan combined with solid upright cardiovascular and anaerobic exercise can lower the chances of many cancers with the added benefit of avoiding the NUMBER ONE KILLER OF BOTH WOMEN AND MEN which is HEART DISEASE, as well as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, the gamut of orthopedic issues from carrying all the excess weight particularly visceral fat in the abdominal region, pelvic issues especially for all the men out there suffering from erectile dysfunction, etc...and so much more is easily avoidable. We have the power within ourselves to treat our bodies with the utmost care and respect if not for ourselves then for our loved ones who depend on us.

When traveling by air it is especially important to continue all the healthy habits of your regular daily routine. This morning I awoke much earlier than usual in order to have a full work-out and eat a healthy breakfast before boarding a flight from San Francisco to New York. I exercised for 45 minutes on my stairclimbing machine, engaged in full-body dynamic stretching and spent 15 minutes doing back and biceps exercises from a standing position as I always do in order to further engage my core stabilizer muscles. I drank plenty of water before, during and after the workout and proceeded to have a very healthy, balanced breakfast. Although I did not love getting up so early, once my feet hit the floor I was eager to have my usual workout because this is what I have conditioned and trained my body to crave daily: Proper exercise and nutrition! Although many of you may think that you just cannot get up earlier to exercise when traveling, think again! You will be sitting on an airplane for an extended period of time and although you should know to keep hydrated, move about the cabin when possible and engage in "seat exercises," it is not the same as "revving up your body and getting that very important jump-start to your day as well as before your flight.
Then after landing, take a very brisk walk for 30 minutes or as long as you can. Do remember to keep your shoulders back and down with your chin up and look straight ahead! You will feel great and your body will thank you! :-)! |
