Good Health in the Heartland !   

Get off the clearance rack !

Too many people are carrying humility too far.  Take some time to consider what you’re worth.  Maybe you’re worth taking the time for a walk today, or a more deliberate lunch hour, or a better choice of entrees tonight.  Maybe you need to look at what relationships are getting the lions share of your energy.

Let your choices this week show that you value yourself !

Meat Consumption is Falling

Good news for Vegetarians, Vegans and everyone interested in promoting a healthier way of life.  VegNews recently printed this article with some interesting facts about meat consumption.  We think you’ll enjoy reading  not only the statistics,  but the reasons behind them:

School Lunches Improving

We’d like to extend our thanks to The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine for sharing this article on the state of school lunches in America,  both public and private.  It’s worthwhile reading even if you don’t have anyone attending school.  If you’re interested in current attitudes and trends when it comes to healthy lifestyle choices you will want to read this.

This is TOTAL health !

There’s a reason why Marilu has titled her program The Total Health Makeover.  Total health is about more than losing (or for that matter gaining) weight.  It’s about more than fitting into a specific size or competing in an event.  It’s about living your BEST LIFE.  At Marilu.com we have conversations about every aspect of this topic.  From our current Back to Booty School class; a question of the day and one member’s response:

What is one thing that you anticipate bringing you great joy in the future?

“Doing some of the things on my ‘bucket list.’ and generally learning and trying new things — and trying to live a more fearless life, this is a big one for me. To stop making decisions based on fear as opposed to passion, a hard habit to break but a very important one in order to live the life you are meant to live. Just get in that saddle and ride, right?!”

Armed and Dangerous

Everyone thinks about toning their arms somewhere around the middle of May.  It’s a last minute, panic decision for some.  But toned arms are sleek and sexy.  Stay strong all year by keeping your entire body in top shape.  Check out these workouts that will help you do just that.

ANOTHER high profile Vegan

Anyone who has committed to a healthier, more conscientious, way of life has probably encountered people who believe that swearing off of animal products will make them weak and sickly.  (As opposed to “body building” chips, cupcakes and cheesy products?? ) Here’s one more article about someone whose livelihood depends of physical strength and endurance.  Read about Houston running back Arian Foster:  http://www.khou.com/sports/Texans-Foster-opens-up-on-national-TV-168620216.html   Marilu has been ahead of the curve FOR YEARS !  It’s wonderful to see that healthy lifestyles are becoming more pervasive.

Keep On Moving

We’ve all heard that a body in motion stays in motion.  Even if you aren’t doing any type of “formal” exercise, (such as taking classes, or hitting the gym) you should be in a mindset that keeps you moving every day. 

If you’re in an area where the weather is cooperating be grateful for that and grateful for the ability to get out there and move.  In fact being active in the outdoors is thought to be beneficial to not only physical health but mental and emotional as well. 

According to a study that analyzed the mental health of individuals who committed to outdoor exercise: “Closeness to nature increases our well-being—it has an immunizing effect by protecting us from future stresses and helping us concentrate and think more clearly,” she says. (Dr. Jo Barton PhD)
