Exercise is the best way to get physically fit and lose weight. Starting an exercise at any age is extremely beneficial and can add years to your life. Experts advise that 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic activity is beneficial for both men and women.

Basic fitness and health tips.

• Quite Smoking:  Smoking is very harmful to your health.
• Avoid the obvious such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats (i.e. pork, bacon, ham, salami, ribs and sausage). Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions. Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise, margarine, butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts.
• Drinking 8 glasses of water a day is important to your health, your normal diet and to help lose weight. Water is necessary for the metabolism of your stored fat. Weight loss cannot occur without an active metabolism which requires large quantities of water. Another way to use water to lose weight is to drink a large glass of ice water just before meals. The cold causes your stomach to shrink slightly which will make you feel full faster.
• Eat small meals slowly & often. Graze healthily.
• Aerobic, swimming, cycling, walking and jumping are all considered aerobic activities. These should be performed daily atleast for 20 to 30 mintues.
• You can walk almost anywhere at almost any time. It’s one of the easiest ways to be physically active. Find out how to start your walking program, what benefits you’ll get from walking and how to warm up correctly before you hit the road.
• Crash dieting, over exercising and fasting will slow down your metabolism.
• Avoid eye strain by looking away from the screen and focus on something in the distance, then focus on something close to you, do this now and whilst at work. Good excuse if you get caught looking at somebody, just tell him or her you’re preventing eyestrain.
• To lose weight quickly, never skip a meal. Your first meal after waking starts your metabolism. Your metabolism then speeds up for about eight hours and then starts slowing down until you go to sleep when it goes to low until you wake and eat and start the cycle again. Skip breakfast and your metabolism doesn’t get started until lunch time. You’ve just missed three or four hours of fat burning time. When you skip meals during the day, your metabolism also slows down. Weight loss through the burning of stored fat is all about eating enough of the right kinds of foods so you stay full and your metabolism stays as high as possible. Remember, if you feel hungry, your metabolism slows down. Stay full with healthy, nonfattening foods and your metabolism will continue to burn your stored fat as fast as your body will allow.

First impressions matter… a lot. So, you’ve painstakingly put on your makeup, dressed in your best clothes, and added some expensive jewelry and accessories. You should knock ‘em out, right? Not necessarily…

There’s more to a good first impression than meets the eye. Unfortunately, humans are quick to judge. You can completely blow it if you don’t consider everything, including who you’re meeting and how they will perceive you in the environment where the introductions will take place.

If the first impression is bad, you won’t always have a second chance. So how do you put your best foot forward and impress others with your good looks, grace and charm? There are several ways to show that you’re not only approachable, but quite charismatic.

Appearance

Let’s face it, your appearance is the first thing people are going to notice about you. The importance is unmistakable. You have just seconds to grab that person’s attention and show off your finer points.

Dress appropriately for the occasion and the weather.  If you’re headed to a business meeting or job interview, keep your attire professional and simple. On the other hand, a party or night out on the town may call for something fun and just a little flirty. If you’re not certain how to dress, err on the side of caution and be conservative.

Keep your makeup fresh and natural-looking. People need to see the “real” you and if there’s a hint of deception, you’ll strike out. Choose a hairstyle that compliments your clothing and flatters your face. A style that’s neat and low-maintenance usually does the trick.

Body Language

Good posture is very important, so stand up straight and be confident. To be sociable, open up and smile. Make eye contact and show interest in your new acquaintance. A short but firm handshake is always welcome and crucial in business settings.

Tension and nervousness emerge in several ways, such as facial expressions and gestures. There’s nothing more disconcerting than meeting someone who obviously doesn’t want to be there — that is not the first impression you want to make. Keep your hands off of your hips and don’t cross them. Relax, don’t fidget, and be yourself.

Content and Conversation

Believe it or not, what you say and how you say it are not nearly as important as appearance and body language, but don’t discount it. Carry on an intelligent conversation and show interest in what the other person has to say. If you make them feel well-received and worthy, chances are, that will be reciprocated.

Don’t sweat it. To make the best first impression, prepare yourself and focus on good things. Be optimistic, enjoy yourself and have fun. Isn’t that what life’s all about?

Relieve Stress While You Work with Easy Exercises

Take a good look at how you’re sitting right now. Are your shoulders slouched? Is your back hunched?

Poor posture is more than bad for your back; it can be bad for your disposition. Better posture allows you to relax your muscles, sit comfortably and reduce stress, movement therapists say.

With some 800 muscles in the body, even the simple act of sitting before the computer screen presents a complex situation.

In an attempt to improve our posture, many of us will sit up too rigidly. We overcompensate with an arched back and strained neck a position that’s impossible to hold for any length of time.

The key is to find that neutral position that will bring maximum comfort and the least stress. When you’re in that position, you will find it comfortable and easy to sustain.

So how can you tell if you’re in that ideal neutral position? When you combine awareness with gentle movement, you encounter stressed areas, which then can be corrected.

There are three exercises to get your posture perfect without ever leaving your chair.

But before you begin these exercises, first assess your seat and how you sit in it. Shift around on your chair, and try resting your buttocks at different spots on the seat. Experiment with sitting far forward on the chair without using the backrest. You may have to move your chair farther away from the desk.

As you sit upright without use of the backrest, resist the temptation to force yourself into a rigid position. Place your feet flat on the floor. Think about your back. Does it feel arched?

Next, intentionally slump your lower back; round your back and let your head drop forward. Slowly arch your lower back and bring your head up and shoulders back.

You’ve experienced the two extremes of slouching and arching. Sitting up straight is not about extremes. With feet flat on the floor, try to find a neutral place for your pelvis that lets you sit up tall yet doesn’t require you to work hard any muscle group.

Now that you’ve found that neutral posture, you’re ready for this short series of relaxation exercises. Think about your movements as you do them. Go slowly and easily and don’t force anything. If you encounter any discomfort, stop.

1. Pelvis Tilt

With your feet flat on the floor, tilt your pelvis forward so your lower back rounds, and then tip your pelvis backward so your lower back arches and your belly protrudes a little. Keep your neck, shoulders and stomach relaxed. Repeat several times slowly.

This will not only help relax your lower body but will further instruct you in finding that neutral pelvic position that is not tilted to either extreme and helps you sit up straight comfortably.

2. Basic Twist

Sit up straight on the forward part of the chair, pelvis in neutral position, feet flat on the floor. Slowly twist to the right side, turning your head in the same direction while keeping your shoulders relaxed along the way.

Observe how other muscles besides the twisting muscles near the spine jump into action. The right shoulder may rise up toward the ear or move backward. As you repeat, create more efficiency in the movement. Relax more of the body each time. Do the other side.

3. Basic Twist With Variation

Do the same slow twist to the right while turning the head all the way to the left. This is impossible to do with hunched shoulders. An excessive arch in the lower back will also make it a struggle.

Sit tall yet relaxed. Observe how the muscles around the shoulders and chest may want to force the motion.

As you repeat these exercises, efficiency and relaxation will improve and you never left your desk!
