My weight loss has plateaued. How can I jump start it?

This can certainly be discouraging and a turning point for worse for many who wish to lose weight and keep it off for good.

While aerobic exercise was at its height back in the 80s and early 90s, it is really not the best exercise if you wish to lose weight. If you think about it, it is best to do things as close to natural as possible. Running, jump roping, or doing activities like that for 30 minutes or more is NOT what our old ancestors did. They generally had a hunter-gatherer life style. That means short term super fast followed by a period of rest (they could not get away from the 'lion' chasing them if they did not run fast but they also could not have run fast for too long or they'd pass out!!). With that said, the best exercise is Interval Training of super fast aerobic exercise for 90 seconds, followed by a 30 second rest done 8-9 times in a row: it is quick, fun, burns fat quickly and activates the super fast muscle fibers that deal with the Growth Hormone which  leads to fat loss.

Have a blast doing this exercise, do know that no potion or lotion is going to get the fat off of you and make you not only look but feel healthy. It is a process and not an event no matter what 'they' try to sell you on TV or magazine!!

Headaches: How to prevent them naturally

Many people today suffer from headaches, majority of which are MIS-LABLED migraine headaches because of the severity of the pain. Most headaches are in fact Tension or Suboccipital or Stress Headaches with the source of the pain coming from the back of the head where the head connects to the neck. Unfortunately our life style of using computers and seated positions contribute heavily to these types of headaches.
Solution: Chiropractic Adjustment which will bring the function back to the vertebral area in the region, taking away the tension caused by the muscles. In most cases, there is an immediate pain relief for the headache. Stretching is also very important and need to be specifically geared toward the very base of the neck. Proper positioning in front of the computer AND proper use of your pillow when sleeping are to be looked into as well.
Headaches take away fun out of life and can make one miserable so stop taking those quick fixes and look into a long term solution. BTW, if you suffer from chronic headache, talk to your chiropractor to get an MRI to rule out any thing serious like a tumor!!

Hope this helps and do know that you are in charge of your own health and life so start today.
