Benefits of a life of health and fitness

Living a life of health and fitness may seem a huge sacrifice but the rewards are truly immeasurable. Not only will you be able to enjoy your life a little bit longer, you can also live it while looking good and looking young.


You don’t believe us? Here is a rundown of the benefits that healthy living can give. Read on and you may be tempted to leave the dark unhealthy side.

1. Active body Eating the right kinds of food and keeping your body in shape will result to having more energy and that will spill over to your work and your “play” time. You will be more active and will have more chance to shine in your line of work. People who are active also come across as more capable and more independent. They are also perceived as more approachable, confident and charming. 

2. Younger looking People who live healthy are younger looking than those who smoke and drink in excess. This is because chemicals in alcoholic drinks and cigarettes dry up the skin and create a more older appearance. Chemicals in the body also reduce the nutrients that go into the body, thus depriving the body of vitamins and minerals that keep the skin and other organs healthy and functioning. 

Being young looking of course gives you a whole set of benefits, from a remarkable love life to success with career and in your social life. After all, whether we admit it or not, appearance do count in a lot of ways and being young looking and attractive can take you in places. As shallow as it seems, you will have more friends and more romantic involvements. Everybody loves beautiful people. 

3. Clear thinking It is not true that chemicals in alcoholic drinks and cigarettes and drugs can amp up creativity levels. These are actually just short-lived and as studies have shown, only in the mind. People who eat and live healthy are more able to think clearly. They are more able to focus on the jobs at hand and therefore are able to accomplish much with their work than other people. They are also more dependable when given instructions and their memories are often clear and good. 

4. No illness People who live a healthy lifestyle are well, healthy. They are not prone to sickness that can slow down a person’s achievement levels. Thus, these people accomplish much of what they set out to do. They are not hampered by problems with their health or appointments with doctors that they have to go to. These people rarely take a leave of absence and when they do, they will often take a vacation and just relax. They don’t take a leave because they are sick. 

5. Emotionally-secure Although there really is no direct relationship, people who live a life of health and fitness are happier. They are able to enjoy their life more and are not distracted by odd habits and health problems. They also have less worries and are able to cope better with stressors. This is perhaps because they do not need to rely on chemicals for coping with the hardships that they encounter. Early on, they have developed natural coping strategies that can help them get through the daily grind.

diet recipe to lose excess body

Many people have benefited for years using the master cleanse diet recipe to lose excess body fat and unwanted toxins.  This effective method works well, but it's not the easiest method for weight loss around. It requires you to stick with a strict diet plan for several days up to a week. But, if you find the fortitude to do it, you'll be rewarded with practically instant weight loss and a healthier body.

We don't think it about it much, which is probably a good thing, but in today's world we are bombarded with chemicals. They are in the air, in the soil, and in our food and water. These chemicals are mostly benign by themselves but what happens when we mix one, two or a dozen in our bodies?  That is exactly what happens to all of us on a day to day basis, all the chemicals we take in daily all add up in our system.

This can cause many problems, most of them are minor like feeling tired all the time or the tendency to get headaches often. But sometimes they can be much more severe. Wouldn't it be great if we could get rid of them, quickly?  Well that's another huge benefit of the master cleanse. It will flush these toxins right out of your body. The result?  Feeling energized and healthy.

Of course, that is really only the side effect, most people use the cleanse to lose weight, and it works great for that too.  When putting together the 'lemonade' mixture, make sure to use only organic ingredients... remember, you're trying to detoxify not add more chemicals. As a matter of fact, after you're done with the cleanse you should seriously consider changing some of your eating habits.

Getting rid of things like tobacco, caffeine, and too many sweets as well as using only organic foods can help you stay toxin free long after your cleanse.  To make sure you are able to stick with the cleanse for at least 3 days you should prepare yourself for it first. Take several days before the start of your cleanse and lower your caloric intake. Get your body used to taking in fewer calories, that will make it easier during your cleanse.

And, of course, if you have any side effects during the cleanse such as dizziness, nausea, disorientation, stop immediately and talk to your doctor.  If you have existing health concerns you should talk to your doctor before you even consider doing the cleanse.

Use this recipe to make a whole pitcher full of the lemonade. You can than drink it throughout the day taking in at least 60 ounces each day:

12 Tbsp. Lemon Juice (use free squeezed lemons)
12 Tbsp. Maple Syrup (organic)
1/2 Tsp. Cayenne Pepper Powder
60 oz. of water

Just mix it all together and keep it cool in your refrigerator.  That's it. That's all there is to it. While drinking the cleanse you can also have water, tea or clear broth to liven things up. Try to stay on the cleanse for 3-5 days. After you're done, slowly add more solid foods back into your diet, do it slowly or you'll get nauseated.  That's how simple the the master cleanse diet recipe is. Enjoy!
