Prograde Nutrition 'Summer is Here' Sale

My good friends at Prograde Nutrition are very excited that summer is here. I am too, especially since I caught a glimpse of the sun today!

Nicer weather means more and more people are getting outside and getting some exercise. They're playing with their kids, swimming and having fun.

And that's always cause for celebration. (In addition to that, it's my birthday on Saturday so I am ready to celebrate even more!)

Anyway, Prograde is having a sale on it's best-selling product, EFA Icon. I've told you about it before. It's the one that has amazing benefits:

Help protect your heart

Improve your memory

Strengthen your immune system

Minimize the damage caused by free radicals

Reduce joint pain and PMS symptoms

Aid the fat loss process

But don't take my word for it. Or Prograde's.

Check out this video that tells you all about the research done on Krill Oil, the main ingredient in Prograde's EFA Icon.

Fast Food Fat Loss Failure

Back in the nineties Fast Food companies tried to change. They tried coming out with lighter and lower fat versions of their sandwiches and tacos and everything else.

Know what happened?

The "healthier" versions on their menus failed miserably. And I mean miserably. They were all pulled and replaced by newer options that were bigger, fattier and more calorie laden than ever before.

Seriously, they stopped pulling punches and did what any smart business should: They gave people what they wanted. And in the case of Fast Food companies that meant adding as much mayo, bacon, cheese and beef as they possibly could.

That's when we started seeing the Triple Burgers and Mega Burgers and tacos wrapped in melted cheese stuck to yet another taco.And people were more than happy to gobble them all right up.

I believe, fortunately, that we've come to a point where people have realized that it's all just too much. To some extent people are waking up and realizing that they cannot afford to get sick. They cannot afford to eat garbage all the time. They are understanding it WILL catch up to them.

Kentucky Fried Chicken has been in the news lately because they are trying a new Kentucky GRILLED Chicken. Supposedly it tastes as good as their fried version.

Now I don't know if it does or doesn't. And to be honest, I don't much care. You see, the fact of the matter is when people go to Fast Food restaurants and order something "healthier" like grilled chicken they typically off set it by eating every french fry in sight. Or drinking a 64oz cola.

There are better choices to be made. And if you plan your day you won't be in a position where you have to gobble a meal down at KFC, McDonald's or Burger King.

Things like:

Low fat cottage cheese

Hard boiled eggs

Fresh fruit and veggies

Raw almonds

You could also go with Prograde Cravers or Prograde Lean. Cravers are the best tasting healthy snack bar on the planet and Lean is their delicious chocolate meal replacement shake.

Look, the bottom line is simple: A little bit of planning and some smart food choices go a long way to getting that flat stomach you're looking for.

Yours in health,

Namaste,

Patricia

Chairs...the root of all evil

The reality about the chair, any chair, is that, while it may be comfortable, it is physiologically harmful. It is thought that the number of back problems directly correlates with the increased number of hours spent seated, according to Galen Cranz in The Chair: Rethinking Culture, Body and Design. If we are seated in a regular chair, feet on the floor, the ninety degree angle of the hip exerts pressure on the diaphragm and restricts the internal organs. Blood flow slows, oxygen to the brain is reduced and we tire more quickly. Chair sitting is an athletic endeavor with no cardio-vascular benefit. The body has to work constantly to stay upright and it soon works harder and harder in the name of relaxation.

Why do Yoga?

I started taking Yoga classes at the gym after injuring myself during a spin class.
I continued my pursuit of Yoga because it made me feel better, calmer and less likely to erupt
in angry outbursts.

Yoga has really simple yet powerful techniques that quickly reduce tension and stress, along with addressing a whole host of challenging health conditions.

One of the things I love most about yoga is that anyone regardless of their abilities can benefit from
the yoga postures (asanas) and breathing practices (pranayama).

I teach yoga to people of all ages. One of my older students, had open heart surgery and missed class for several weeks. When she came back to class, she told me that what she had learned about breathing in our class time together helped speed her recovery!
