I’ve seen multiple stories on the Nintendo Wii Fit games being used in nursing homes and hospitals to help people with health or mobility issues.

The latest health segment of our local news showed a 34 year old stroke victim bowling on Wii fit. His physical therapist said the game is helping him regain his hand eye coordination and this increased physical and brain activity is helping him regain the use of his paralyzed right arm and leg.

In another health segment, there was a story about seniors in a retirement center playing games on the Wii and they ALL increased their stamina, slept better and felt better about life in general after a few weeks.

Is it possible to slow the onset of senile dementia or Alzheimers by playing games on the Nintendo Wii? I don’t know but I’m willing to bet you’ll have fun finding out.

This guy probably doesn’t even realize he’s exercising but he’ll remember it in the morning when his muscles remind him.

It can become quite a fun challenge to find different training methods that you can do throughout the day while at work. All these exercises will add to a healthier body and help to relieve some of the stress of work. Overall health

If only we could turn back the clock. We need to look at our attitude towards health and fitness and ask ourselves the questions we would ask others if we were giving them advice.

Would you recommend someone starts smoking or drinking excessive alcohol if they were asking for advice on finding health for life? Not likely – Yet we make decisions like this every day that we will pay for dearly in the future.

It takes a long time for most people to get fat and this usually occurs from eating just a little too much of the wrong foods too often.

If we are to reverse that situation and only reduce our calories by 100 per day, which is something that most people can achieve without too much effort , then the effect after a year or so can be quite dramatic.

It’s not hard to lose weight. Why people find it hard to lose weight usually comes down to what they choose. As a qualified coach I can tell you it takes effort but it doesn’t have to be hard. Simple exercises.

When you think about living a health fitness lifestyle, what does that really mean? Basically it means getting in some moderate exercise on a weekly basis, eating healthily, and quitting smoking, limiting alcohol consumption and maintaining a normal weight. To the average person who is strapped for time and busy with job and family commitments, maintaining your health may seem overwhelming. It does not need to be. As we will see, small changes in your daily living can mean big changes in your health.

Eating a low diet does not have to be a chore. Simple changes you can make while on your next visit to the grocery store can get you on the right path to eating better. Small substitutions like eating more fruit and veggies and eating less refined and processed foods over time saves calories and adds nutrients to your diet plans. Don’t force yourself to shelve your entire diet and start with something restrictive. Feeling deprived leads to failure. Go slow and enjoy each new item you add to your diet to ensure weight loss.

Exercise does not have to be a dirty word. If you lead a sedentary lifestyle, start slow and increase your activity level as you reach small goals you set for yourself. It may be just using the stairs at work instead of using the elevator. Over time, you might decide to walk for part of your lunch break. Eventually you may want to join a fitness center to increase your progress. Go at a pace you are comfortable with and enjoy.

If you smoke, consider a smoking cessation program. There are medications in pill, patch and gum form that can assist you in stopping. Talking to a counselor or adopting a quit-smoking buddy has been shown to help smokers quit smoking at higher rate than trying to go it alone. Side effects of smoking include rapid heartbeat, decreased circulation, and shortness of breath and more serious problems like cancer, emphysema and heart disease can eventually develop.

Drinking alcohol in moderation has actually been shown to benefit the cardiovascular system. However, consuming more than a glass or two a day can cause liver damage. The liver acts as a giant filter system of the body. When the filter is clogged, the body does not function properly. Jaundice, gallstones, blood clotting difficulties, organ failure and death can result when the liver is compromised.

Knowing your body mass index (BMI) can help you calculate what a healthy weight is for your body type. You can calculate your BMI by dividing your weight by the square of your height or go online and use a BMI calculating tool. Regulating your diet and adding health fitness weekly can help stabilize your weight.

You may have let yourself go. Your body feels sluggish and you have no energy. You may have health issues that run in your family. What should you do? Adopt a healthy lifestyle. Add healthier food choices to your diet gradually. Make health fitness part of your daily routine. Stop smoking and drink a glass of red wine with a meal. To maintain a normal weight, eat right and increase your activity levels. The lifestyle goals you set for yourself are that much closer when you make small changes over a period of time.

Denise Austin Diet Philosophy in a Nutshell

Control Portions

First, measure foods into the bowls you usually use, and keep using those bowls until you can accurately estimate your portions. Then, read the Nutrition Facts panel on food labels and use the information as a portion control tool. Check calories, servings per package, salt, and fat content.

Maximize Fiber
Eat plenty of fiber. It may sound simple, but study after study shows that increasing the fiber in your diet speeds up both weight loss and fat loss. Fiber helps fight weight gain and by curbing your appetite and making you feel fuller longer on fewer calories. Call it nature’s natural appetite suppressant.

Eat Good Fats
Eating good fat. Good fats in moderation will help you stick with a weight-loss plan.

Eat Plenty of Fruits and Vegetables
Eating a lot of fruit and vegetable end up not only filling you up on fewer calories, but the nutrition boost you get help you fight of many modern degenerative diseases.

Eat When Hungry
