The Challenge is Called Discipline

Discipline, discipline, and discipline is a requirement that must be met if we want to succeed in getting something. Discipline is not something easy to do, because it requires a consistency. Moreover, if someone sets a high goal, so they also had to increase their level of discipline. Consistency is closely associated with discipline, so if we are able to be consistent, it will make it easier to implement a discipline. In fact, in order to maintain a consistency itself is very difficult. Motivation and high morale will be very important role. However, it is a challenge that must be faced, because discipline is a challenge.

Discipline is the key

Discipline is the key for us to obtain a high achievement. Lionel Messi didn't magically become a best footballer. He is implementing a high discipline in his work. Likewise with Pele, Valentino Rossi, or Roger Federer. To be the world class athlete, they need discipline. A success can not be achieved just by dreaming in silence, but also requires an action. Actions taken must also not arbitrary, because it takes hard work and discipline.

When you implement a disciplined, the biggest challenge you will face is boredom. Laziness is already a common problem, but boredom is also a challenge. To be an "expert", then you need to exercise regularly and continuously. When we do the same thing every day, maybe it's boredom was ready to confront you.

However, what we are talking about here is a discipline in a healthy lifestyle, particularly healthy diet and regular exercise. Because of the principle to achieve a good healthy living and optimal same as another success. We should not just dreaming and dreaming, but we have to "do it". Most of us are breaking the rules of our own, because we can not control our passions. So, if you want to acquire the discipline of a healthy life, then the first step you should do is to master yourself. You have to control your lust, not just the lust which is control you.

You may not expect an instant results. Discipline requires a process that is not a moment, because it requires an adjustment. We need not expect to be able to do the perfect thing according to what has been what we have planned. While what we do anyway in accordance with the direction of our goals (in this case is a healthy living), so you have to keep patience in the process of adaptation. Let the pattern of discipline into your daily habits. Because the discipline of one thing usually also be transmitted to other things. Surely transmitted to positive things.

To keep you motivated, then there should be a means of support to help you as a reminder. You can make little notes that you can see at any time as a reminder to you to maintain discipline. I myself use this blog as a means to guard my motivation. I also still have a little difficulty in maintaining my level of discipline. So this blog is very useful as a reminder of me. Because every time I opened this blog, so I will remember all the goals and efforts I have done.

So, do you dare to face this challenge?
Keep healthy everyone :)

A Message From A Friend

Today I get a text message from a college friend of mine, Albert. He was my best friend when i was active in the student organization. It seems, been a while we did not meet. Let alone meet, over the phone or social media, we very rarely communicate to each other. But suddenly this afternoon he sent a short message content, "Apparently, diet program using oatmeal was very effective for my weight loss" I immediately smiled when I read the message. I remember, it was the last time we talked together, when we talk about belly fat. And he surprised with my thinner body. Then I tell him the steps I took, especially about the oatmeal, which I take as a principal source of carbohydrate.

Then we continued our conversation via text message. He said that his father was sentenced to suffer from diabetes, so his father had to undergo a healthy diet. So, increase again the people who suffer from diabetes, and it comes from my close relatives. Indeed, a diabetic should change their diet pattern, if they does not want the disease eating away their body. Staple food in my country is white rice, while white rice is one type of simple carbohydrate that could be one factor causing diabetes. Thus, the father of Albert replace his staple food into oatmeal. At first, it is quite difficult to change the habit. But after getting used, it can provide very positive results.

Indeed, Albert had felt anxious about his belly condition. Because many of our friends are when they graduate college and entering the workforce, then their bodies grew fat. Albert was ever told me, that his weight had increased. So he lured to follow the diet as his father did. He was also consuming oatmeal, and the results were successfully dropped weight by 3 kg for 1 month. Albert was the person who rarely exercise. He doesn't have the endomorph body shape, so he was not easily fat. However, when people are really in an irregular diet,  the fat can be very easy to accumulate. Especially when a young man had graduated from college, then the activity will tend to decline. Even an owner of ectomorph body will also have excess fat around the stomach, or just have an enlarged stomach, while other body parts are not.

Somehow, now I will feel very happy when I heard someone change the pattern of their life into a healthier lifestyle. In fact I would be very happy to give some suggestions, although I did not take an advantage from it. Especially when it comes from family or my friends. It feels like there is a certain satisfaction.

Disease doesn't know age. Anyone and any time, you could have been stricken with a terrible disease, if you have an unhealthy habit. No exception for diabetes. Diseases previously known to only attack the middle-aged, but it's now not uncommon to young people who also have diabetes. Even people with the disease is likely to increase each year with increasing levels of obesity in the world. If people who were thin it can be exposed to the disease of diabetes, then it is likely it will be multiplied when they have a fat body.

There is no harm in living a healthy lifestyle. All you need to do is resist your carnality, and acting out of your habit. My friend above made ​​aware through her ​​father's condition. However, whether we have to wait for the disease to come first, then we have to start to live healthy? Should not we prevent than cure?

Don't Punish Yourself When on a Diet

A healthy diet is something nice, keep it in your mind again. A healthy diet is not torture, it's not make you sick, and it doesn't harm you. And the one most important thing that should always be understood, that the diet does not reduce the size of the meal, but changing to become more balanced nutrition. Mental block is still a common problem and often I have encountered in the community.

Don't punish yourself

According to the eating habits, there are two types of people. The first is the person who does not care about their diet. And the second is the one who always pay attention to their diet. People who do not care about their diet, obviously they will have an increased risk of health problems is higher. However, Whether people who have noticed on their diet were guaranteed have better health?? The answer is not necessarily.

According to the results I observed in everyday life, especially among the general public, people who done the wrong diet method were more than the people who run a healthy diet correctly. Even people who work in the health field though, not a few of them are not running a healthy life.

Not a few of people who think that a healthy lifestyle as a terrible thing. As if they were in a military training center that implemented strictly. Maintain a healthy lifestyle with the tormented heart, it won't give positive results. When we were in military training, then we make a mistake, it's likely we will get a punishment. However, a healthy diet program is in contrast to military training. When we break the rules of our diet, we should not punish ourselves.

A healthy diet should be the pattern of our everyday life, as a basic rule of our eating habits. However, sometimes there is a situation that inadvertently make us have to take another path. Perhaps in the diet, you really avoid eating junk food. However, because there is a situation that requires you to eat junk food, so you break the rule. Don't take that as a huge mistake, so then you punish yourself. I also met some of my friends who are running the diet program, especially women, when they ate junk food, and then they punish themselves by not eating for a few days and exercise excessively.

When we punish ourselves, it means we assume that diet as something that curb. There are also some people who apply the "Cheating Day" or a holiday on the middle of diet program. They took one day as a gift from their diets. They make a rule, for example, every Sunday they are free to eat whatever they want. The reality is much more difficult to burn calories rather than burn calories. We can eat 1000 calories in 1 hour, but we can take 5 hours to burn. Instead of 5 hours, 1 hour exercise alone you have been very exhausted.

I myself have never felt guilty when I had to eat a plate of junk food. However, I still realized that the food I eat is not good. Remember! Everything is have a limit. The key is self-control. When we do not consider it as an error, then we should not be complacent, and continue to break the rules. It all depends on you. Because implementing a healthy diet will train control our passions, and make us more able to be critical.

So, keep maintain your health, everyone.

Athletic Body, Is It Just a Style?

Maybe some people have an idea that athletic body belongs only an athlete only. Even some people are also skeptical of the owner of an athletic body that is not an athlete. They assume it is just for a style. So, why do we have athletic body? Is it true it's just for a style?

Athletic body
Maybe it's true, there are some people that make up his body just to beautify the appearance alone. People with such orientation is usually to take instant ways, and tend to take shortcuts. They tend to do a wrong diet and rely on the consumption of drugs. In contrast to those who have an orientation to health, they will do a healthy diet, and prefer doing natural ways by doing regular exercises. They tend to be more patient and not demanding instant results.

For men, it's not a secret that many of those who aspire to the ideal body and athletic body. Deep in the heart of a man whose chubby, surely they also have the desire to have a good body shape, it's just that they have not been able to carry out the requirements that must be done.

If anyone says, "Although I am fat, but the important thing is my body stay healthy."

How do you respond to the above statement? Do you agree with the sentence above?

I know this is a sensitive thing, but it's a reality. What must be known is, a person who has a healthy lifestyle may not have a fat body. Even if the person is rarely exercise, but if he has a healthy diet, then he would have a quite ideal body. However, it is very rare people who like it. Because people who have a healthy diet, usually automatically he will also realize the importance of exercise.

Indeed there are many people who suffer from obesity, but he still claims that he is healthy. Obesity is like a time bomb, which at times could explode. People suffering from obesity was like a cave which contains a sleeping ferocious monster. When we woke up the monster, then he will berserk and destroy everything. It was the truth. All of it is just a matter of time. Obese people already have an investment in their future disease. Indeed, people who have athletic body doesn't guarantee that he will be spared from the disease. But at least, that person is already reducing the risk for having diseases such as osteoporosis, heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

people in a public place

Indeed, the general public still lack awareness of it. We can see when we are visiting downtown or when we're walking around in the mall. Look there, then the people who potbellied be more dominant than the people who has particularly ideal and athletic body. Such a phenomenon is not only happening in one country alone.

If that people with athletic body just want to simply style, then why are they not at the centers of the crowd to show off? They prefer to be in the gym, or in a quiet place to meditate. Athletic body should not be owned by an athlete. Ordinary people may also have it. And if we can keep it, then this will be a very good investment in the future to ward off various of terrible diseases. So, it would not hurt you have athletic body instead? But of course with the condition, grab it in a natural way.

Bodyweight Training is My Favorite Exercises

Bodyweight Training
What is bodyweight training? Maybe some of you are familiar with this term. Bodyweight training is weight training using our own body as a burden. Bodyweight training does not require any special equipment. These exercises use the body weight as a burden to help increase strength and muscle growth and burn body fat. Because it requires no special equipment, and using our body weight, therefore this exercise can be done anytime and anywhere. Moreover, this exercise also does not require a fee, and therefore the bodyweight training became one of my favorite exercises, hehehe.

Actually, the bodyweight training is already very familiar to you. Push ups and sit ups are kind of bodyweight training that is very popular. You should know that most of the weight training that i do to get my ideal body is bodyweight training. Because ever since I first started my fitness program in february 2012, I have never worked in the gym, I do it wherever I want, and most of my practicing at home. The only weight training equipment I have is a pair of dumbbells each having a weight of 4 kg. And as I write on the "About Me" page, I do not use drugs slimming body. I do it in a natural way.

Then, Whether we can burn body fat and get the ideal body, although we did not go to the gym? The proof is my own body, i can do it, why you can't? Of course exercise is done is a combination of cardio and weight training. However, what I mean here is the type of weight training that I was doing mostly bodyweight training, and i didn't use any type of tool as diverse as in the gym. Of course we can think that in ancient times, not yet built a gym, didn't it? 

After all, there are so many combinations of bodyweight training. Push ups and sit ups are only small part. There are still other types of exercise such as crunches, plank, triceps dips, lunges, squats pistol, wall sit, and many more types of exercises to build your muscle body ideal. Even push-ups can still be divided into a variety of movements such as decline push ups, incline push ups, wide grip push-ups, and many more kinds thereof. So, you can train all the muscles of your body just by using your body weight.

Because bodyweight training can be done anytime and anywhere, of course, is very useful for us are super busy. Because of course the gym is not going to want to know whether you are a busy person or not. They will not adjust to the time we have, but we are the one who must adapt to their time. I myself, do not always punctual in doing workout. But clearly, I've set the day when I have to practice, and when I need to rest. What is clear, early morning and late afternoon is the ideal time to do a workout. Even for me, push up is already just like a snack for me, because suddenly I could just do it even in the middle of my busyness.

If we do this exercise seriously and regularly, it will provide excellent benefits as well as other types of strength training. Of course, our bodies will be more toned, because this exercise can increase calorie burning and muscle building. Bodyweight exercise can suppress our appetite, and it will be an important factor in running a healthy diet program. One of very important benefit of course is to increase our bone density. One thing I love about bodyweight training is that we will train more muscles in one type of exercise. We can see when we're doing push-ups exercise. Although the push-up has the objective of training the muscles of the upper body, such as chest, but while doing push-ups, in fact we will also train our triceps, back, and abdomen.

Seeing all the advantages of bodyweight training, it feels there is no reason for me to not make it as my favorite exercise. A workout that is simple, inexpensive, but provide amazing benefits. All it takes is determination and discipline in doing so. So how about you?

keep healhty all :)

Your Body is Your Health Piggy Bank

My health piggy bank
Piggy bank, or also referred to as money box is a traditional media used to save money at home. The objects are usually made of ceramic or porcelain are often used to educate children in order to have a habit of saving money. Piggy banks are more often filled with coins. In my childhood, my mother also taught me to save money in a piggy bank. And when the piggy bank is full, the satisfying moment is when we break the piggy bank, because it doesn't feel that we have had so much money from the coins that we enter everyday. There's an interesting philosophy of saving money in a piggy bank activities, that is "Little by little to make-something  considerable". By saving money in a piggy bank we are taught to do something small, but it has a great impact. And that's what made me think to make our body like a piggy bank.

Of course we will not make up our bodies to have a similar shape to a piggy bank and then put the money into our bodies. But, as i said above, about the philosophy of saving money in piggy bank. Yes, we will take the philosophy of saving little by little and then it will be something considerable. We will make our body as a health piggy bank. If you've read my first article that I wrote for this blog, which is titled "Health is a Precious Treasure", then I would argue that there health is like money, or even more than money or jewel. Health is something we must keep and store well, because it is not easy to get it back if we lose it. Because health is something that should always blend with our bodies. Certainly no bank out there that can accommodate our health to be stored safely, is not it? 

Therefore, the best storage place for our health of course is our own body. As I say that health is like money, we have to work and try to get it. The money is used to buy our needs, and what about health? Health that we get of course we used to buy a better future. The more we accumulate or save health within our bodies, then our retirement will be even greater. Most people who save money in the bank, has a goal in order to they have an investment in their retirement. So, why do we not make our health as an investment in the future?

We've been given the gift of a free health piggy bank from God, which is our own body. So, why do not we use it? However, in order to save our health , it must be done in a special way. We have to really work hard to be put into our bodies. Because the health can not be taken for granted from the street, and then easily we can swallow it into our bodies. I think, you should have already know the method, is not it? Clearly, the method is a healthy lifestyle, and the works that must be done are: healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding bad habits that damage health (such as smoking and consuming alcohol). That's the business that you have to run to be able to make a profit in the form of health, and then we can store them in the body.

Keep in mind the philosophy of saving money in a piggy bank, that by saving little by little, unconsciously you will get great results. So we must be patient in health savings. Start with small things but routine, such as drinking regularly 8 glasses of water per day, dan regularly exercise 1 hour a day. Because you will not get a great results if you just implement it for a few days. You have to do it every day, and even the rest of your life, then later you will feel the benefits of  your health investment that you deposited into your piggy bank. But also keep in mind, if you save into your piggy bank is something that is not healthy, of course certainly you won't reap happiness in retirement, but it was a serious disease that you will reap.

let's save the health

Therefore, make your body as a place to keep your health investment, because your body is your health piggy bank. Surely it would be very nice if in addition to having a financial investment, we also have a health investment. Prepare your future as quickly as possible, we aren't ever know what will happen, but at least we've tried.

So let's start saving, right now. :)

Invite Your Family to Have a Healthy Life

Happy and Healthy Family
Inviting our families to live a healthy lifestyle really be a challenge. If you already start to  live a healthy lifestyle, certainly it doesn't wrong for us to spread that habit to the people around us. Would not it be great fun if we surrounded by people who also live a healthy lifestyle? Because then, we become not alone. Living a healthy lifestyle will be easier and not too many challenges to be faced. That was my thoughts at this time. I have an ambition to invite as many people to undergo a healthy lifestyle. And i want to start to do the ambition from the scope of my family first. And also I suggest to you, which also has been undergo it, or who have a plan for undergo a healthy lifestyle. But of course it will not be easy. Because we also have to face a lot of people with their minds, it might be a mental block be one of the obstacles (as in my writing about mental block).

Would not you feel good if you have a healthy family. But it all must start from us first. Demonstrate love should not be done by giving luxury goods, or by getting them to eat in a fancy restaurant. In my opinion, by bringing them into a good life, in this case to invite them to lead a healthy lifestyle, will demonstrate a sense of incredible love. Because by providing this knowledge, we are also giving something that last a long time, and is also useful for a better life. The problem about why the majority of people are very difficult to be invited to perform a proper diet and regular exercise, i think it's because of ignorance factor. In general, they do not have knowledge of it. An example is how belly fat is considered as a very usual thing in the public, but behind it there are various diseases that are ready to pounce. I really hope the knowledge of a healthy life can be spread more widely to the public. So it is not only certain circles who received knowledge. And it becomes your job, the perpetrators of healthy living and the readers of this blog to spreading the knowledge, and let's start from your family first.

One thing that has always been my question is, why are so many doctors (especially arround me) who have excess belly fat and unhealthy lifestyle? Many people say, "The doctor was also a human being". But is not that the doctor is a profession that is supposed to make people healthier and become the health agents? They should be an example for people to lead healthy lives. This is an example where a person already has knowledge about health, but they can not apply that, even though it has become their profession. Therefore, to encourage people to live a healthy lifestyle, it takes an unyielding spirit. Because, in addition we have to provide the right knowledge, we also have to raise their mental. Believe me, by teaching the others, you will also gain a new knowledge. And by raising up the mentality of your family, then your mentality will also be uplifted.

My Aunt and My Uncle
Currently I'm forcing my uncle and aunt to start living a healthy lifestyle. The people who appear at the besides photo is my uncle and aunt. They often complain about the condition of their bodies are often seized with the disease. And just yesterday my aunt was hospitalized due to blood pressure disorders, and the cause is related to her diet. Moreover, my uncle, if you see him being eaten, wow he would eat a lot of high cholesterol foods in front of him. I always admonish them to improve their diet. In fact, I've said it is willing to always be their advisor. However, because we are not living in one house, so it's a bit hard to control and watch them. Patience is required in this case, but I will never give up to persuade them. I hope there will soon be a positive change in them. And I hope one time, their photo will be changed, with a healthier body.

Let's invites the people around us to have a better life. Do not think about the difficulties that will happen, because in an effort surely we will find a difficulty. Most important is the work we do. So, do it as an expression of love to your family, invite your family to have a healthy life. :)

When a Cigarette is So Tempting

Oh my God, what's in my mind right now?? Since this afternoon, the object in the photo is always pictured in my mind. Then I began to imagine the nostalgia, At the time when I gather with my best friends, and then we share our cigarettes. Yes, it is a moment that is so fun. But isn't that the fun is the gathering times, not times when smoking. Indeed this afternoon, I suddenly reopen a collection of my photos and my friends. And look there's a picture of me holding a cigarette.

holding a a cigarette

Indeed lately, I'm hit by a lot of problems at work, there was a lot of work piling up, and I have not had time to do a meditation at my favorite place. Currently, My country was in the rainy season, so I'm a little not free to travel. Even my activities for a jog in the afternoon is also should be eliminated for a while, because now almost every afternoon certainly raining heavily. So I mostly do cardio at home. And I was a bit bored, because I wanted to do an outdoor exercise. When the rain comes, it makes my thoughts in the past like floating in the air. Do you know? that according to research, the rain will be able to evoke the memories of our past. And at that time, the moment most convenient for smoking is during the rainy season.

But this afternoon, then I tried to do a meditation in my room, with a condition of the rooms was closed and the lights was not turned on. And thank God, it's enough to make me calm. I'll try to recall all my struggle, to achieve a healthy lifestyle. And of course, that struggle won't be undermined, just because I saw a picture. Whatever it is, smoking is a habit that is not good, and certainly detrimental to our health, and besides, it's all just my past. One thing i always remember is, at this time, I was the one who was trying to live a healthy lifestyle, and it's fun. Maybe earlier, there are a demon that came on my shoulder and whispered to me to return to smoking. So, go away Demon!!

Thank you for stopping by to read an outpouring of my heart. Keep healthy all. :)

Mental Block Is The Enemy Of Your Diet

mental block is enemy of your diet
Yesterday, I received word that my older cousin was diagnosed had many health problems, and it's required him to run a healthy diet. And incidentally in my family (the family of my mother), there is only me who successfully run a diet program, and provide a tangible evidence.  And yesterday when there was a family gathering, a method of healthy diet being a pretty interesting discussion. Incidentally, I had three uncles who were obese, and they are very difficult to be advised. It's obvious they were obese, but they still denied that they were in good health. They just said, "May God always keep my health". Ohh.. come on, health is something that should be sought, and did not come suddenly. In fact, they always eat foods containing fat and high cholesterol, they never exercise, How could the health comes automatically to them?

When people are advised to undergo a healthy diet program, the first problem that must be corrected is a mental block. Mental block to be the most common problem at once the largest in living a healthy lifestyle, in addition to laziness. Funny thing is, many people believe in the truth of a theory without thinking logically. For example, a diet with only eat a little or even not eating at all. Or the theory about eating at night that will make us fat. Those examples are wrong theories, and already trusted by many people. The theories are wrong is finally making people see diets as something horrible and excruciating. So people will tend to think of the negative things that will happen before they start the diet program. This makes them lose before the match.

At that time I was also talking about white rice, because now I don't make white rice as my staple food. Then my aunt said, "If I don't eat white rice, then my body will become weak, do I have to eat vegetables and side dishes only?". That's what I said about the importance of a knowledge base, because the science of food is the science of our daily activities, it's not an unusual science for us to learn. White rice is a source of carbohydrates, of course there are many sources of carbohydrates other than white rice. Moreover, white rice is a simple carbohydrate, whereas we should eat complex carbohydrates as a better energy source. This I have explained in my previous article, "Why you do not eat white rice?".

Mental block is a false perception that we already believe, with the pretext of "people say that .. bla .. bla .. bla ...". So, every time I advise something related to diet, then a lot of those who do not believe and deny by saying: "people say that .. bla .. bla .. bla ...". Then I asked, "Who is the person who said that theory to you?", We never know who's saying,  isn't it? So why do we easily believe it? What if that says it, is a ghost?? hehehe :)

Because the mental block that too, so there are plenty of people who claim they've run a diet, but their weight doesn't decrease, but it precisely increases. There are also many people who already exercise very hard, but no result at all. Even only to lose 4 pounds, it's feels very heavy. And the reason of all above is, they do a wrong diet and exercise, because they believe in the wrong theory. Therefore, we should really open our minds. If you really want to start a healthy diet program, you have to get rid of the mental block first. Like a car, "Although we have pressed the gas pedal, but if we are still stepping on the brake pedal, of course the car will not run"

So just like the car above, we must first let go of the brake pedal it, just as we also have to throw first all the wrong perceptions in our minds, mental block is the enemy to be eliminated. So that we can go for run the right diet program. Because previously, I also have a problem with the mental block, and this time I've been able to release it. And now it is my duty (and also your duty) to help friends and family to escape from the mental block.

Keep healthy all.. :)

Healthy Lifestyle Reflect a Personality

healthy lifestyle reflect a personality
What I feel now is how hard it is to invite people to lead a healthier lifestyle. It is very difficult to make them understand the importance of healthy living. Yes, indeed leading a healthy lifestyle is something tricky. However, when we already understand the essence, this would actually be fun. Currently, people who are obese tend to grow each year, both by children or adults. I even thought, it looks like a healthy lifestyle needs to be a common lesson in school, so that healthy living can be inculcated early. In fact, it was often said that prevention is better than cure, wasn't it?

girls who are reading food nutritions

Living a healthy lifestyle is an art to regulate our passions. People who undergo it must be able to regulate his desires. Even this might have the same difficulty level or even more when we are fasting in the rules of any religion. Therefore, I see people who run a healthy lifestyle reflects her personality that is not easily affected by lust. Of course this is a good personality.

Especially seeing the people who lead a healthy lifestyle consistently, even from young age to old age. That means they have instilled it for a long time, and has awakened a solid foundation to live a healthy lifestyle. Because to undergo a consistency is very difficult thing. That means they've been a long time in doing exercise regularly and eat healthy foods. One more thing to be learned, that the people who lead a healthy lifestyle for a long time, meaning they have loyalty. Maybe it was very influential on other aspects of their lives, such as for example in relation to marriage or employment. Currently I have very rarely come across people who have a high loyalty.

Vegetarians also have a personality that I admire. Especially people who aren't a natural vegetarian, that is, those who had previously not vegetarian then turned into a vegetarian. Including for the monks. I do have the desire to become a vegetarian (not that I want to be a monk, hehehe), but it seems difficult to me to make it happen. In leading a healthy lifestyle now, I still often find it difficult. The biggest temptation is when I get together with my friends, because of "a feeling of wanting to respect them". Because among of my closest friends today, probably just me who lead a healthy lifestyle. And I hope that later on, not just me who will do it.
Obese people

When people invited to live a healthy lifestyle, at the first time, most of people will only imagine the difficulties that would be obtained. They imagine they will not be able to eat their favorite foods anymore, they should take the time to exercise, and it will take them time. How difficult was it to set aside 30 minutes in one day? I saw people who have an increased belly fats, precisely because they only have little activity. Laziness, is a common problem that occurs in all fields. Of course the majority of people doing a healthy lifestyle and regularly exercise are not a slackers.

I don't mean to offend anyone. This article is just my opinion of what I often see in the reality of life. Keep healthy :)

Your Health Is Not Just For Yourself

a couple man and woman
Humans are social beings, we are creatures who always interact with others, and we always need other people in our lives. Even when you are an individualist people, the clothes you wear is a result of the creation of any other person, as are also the foods that you buy, and all the products you use. Everything we do will have an impact on our surroundings. When we did not shower and has particularly pungent body odor, of course this will make the people around us are closing their nose. When a student is lazy to study, and then he got a bad score in lesson, of course it would make his parents were disappointed, and would provide additional work for the teacher to guide him better. It was only a few examples, there are still very very very much, actions that we do that affect to the others without our realizing it and want to understand, especially the act gives bad effects.

Here I write about my thoughts, that the health we have is also affects others, especially our families. In general, whether a man or woman would want to marry and have a family, and of course want to have children. Have you ever thought that a health condition that you have today, will affect your offspring? When people who have a disabled child, then a lot of them blame God, and also many of them who do not accept the condition. We must realize that most of it is the parents fault, because the parents are who became media and cause the babies born in the world. Therefore, the health condition of the parents will affect their children. If the father or mother is addicted to cigarettes, have an unhealthy lifestyle, love to eat haphazardly, of course this will provide greater potential to have offspring who has a physical disability or a mental disability.
.
That became my focus here is only on the family, I invite you to understand how important your health, not only for yourself but also for your family. Because I observe around me, a lot of people from the upper socio-economic groups would have a quality offspring that are no better than those from lower socioeconomic groups. The reason is the lack of health awareness. People with upper socioeconomic level, think that they have been prosperous and can eat anything they want all day, but instead of thinking that is the destroyer of health. In fact there are many people who think if body fat is a sign they are experiencing prosperity. So they think the body fat is good. And it's more common in people age 23 to 27 years, where they have completed their college and then work to achieve a successful career.

The solution is clear, namely by increasing the awareness of healthy lifestyles. And it is an obligation for us to remind each other. So if you accidentally stopped visiting this blog and read the articles, I hope you will have a better understanding about the importance of a healthy lifestyle, and then share the knowledge with your friends. All ages are obliged to have a healthy lifestyle, because if we have an awareness of a healthy lifestyle, not only have a positive effect on our fellow human beings, but also to the nature around us, because our earth is getting old. Therefore I conclude that "your health is not just for yourself".

Be healthy :)

Your Friends and Your Health

friends of my parents
Sometimes I often imagine the moments when I get together with my friends. They have traits, habits, and character vary. You may also have friends with different characters anyway. Some of them love to play music, have a hobby sport, drinking alcohol, smoking, and other habits. And sometimes we are not aware of, that we could be adversely affected by their habits are. In essence, our friends are divided into two types, those who have positive habits and those with negative habits. So, according to the title of this article "Your Friends and Your Health", I will focus on healthy habits and unhealthy habits. How your friends can affect your healthy lifestyle.

Maybe some of you have guessed my way of thinking about it. It can not be denied, if we are affected by our surroundings. Long ago, when I was still actively smoking, indeed, I do a lot of hanging out with friends who like to smoke. And when you find friends with the same habits, of course it will be very exciting. Consciously we are often deliberately associating with people who have the same way of thinking with us, because it can make us comfortable. However, it would be nice if we find comfort in the good habits, wouldn't it?

I see women have a higher sensitivity than men, so that they could be affected by the habits of her friends, especially about physical problems. When a woman is obese, hanging out with friends who have a beautiful body, he might feel inferior, but it will make her motivated to be just like her friends. She will start looking for information so she's getting her wish. Same thing with men. When we hang out with work friends who have an athletic body, it will spur us to want to have the same thing with our friends.

Some of the examples above are just a small part of my consideration, how to get motivated to live healthy, we can get it through our friends. If we want to start living a healthy, try to get along with people who have first have a healthy life. In addition to  raise up the motivation for us to do the same lifestyle, we can also learn a lot from them about the methods they did. I also learned about health sciences by self-taught, because of my academic background has nothing to do with health. However, even though self-taught, clearly a health problem can not be studied in inconsequential and perfunctory. Because of that, I can take advantage of the friendship for studying health. I studied the theory and then I practiced on myself, and then I share that knowledge with others if it's useful and it's a good science. Because in my opinion, the good advice is by give an example.

I am not asking you to pick and choose friends in your friendship. Because we should be able to get along with anyone, as long as we are able to be critical of it. The idea above was a comparison, to raise your awareness of a healthy lifestyle. Once we've got the motivation, we can hung out as usual with our friends, as long as we can control ourselves. Lots bid for re smoking a cigarette, it is quite tempting, but since I've got the motivation, at least we can suppress the temptations that come.

Have a nice day :)

What Is The Purpose of Our Diet?

What is my purpose?
If there is a question, "What is the purpose of your diet?". Most people would probably answer: In order to lose my weight; to reach my ideal weight; to shape my body looks better: to support the muscle formation of my body, or other physical reasons. Yes, most people who go on a diet may be only oriented in any physical changes.

I was also like that before, running the diet program is only oriented to the physical shape of my body only. However, I do often feel impatient. Thus, feelings of dissatisfaction often comes to mind when I look at my body that do not change. The effect is the diet often fail, because my impatience. Actually my body shape has changed, but because i'm too often see on the mirror, it makes me become accustomed to seeing the shape of my body, so as if no change.

My experience above was only a welcome overview of my opinion that I want to say. I think the diet will get maximum results if we oriented to our long-term health. Judging from my experience, that when I do the diet and exercise just to achieve the goal of physical change, it will be less good for impatient people like me. Actually, this is just a matter of changing a perception.

If you are a bodybuilding athlete, of course, diet and exercise you should focus on the physical changes. However, for ordinary people like me, and not an athlete, it seems oriented towards health will be better. In fact, if we do exercise and diet in order to obtain long-term health, and we do it right, the ideal body shape we must also be able to achieve.

I think that the ideal body shape would be a bonus in our diet program that aims to achieve long-term health. Therefore, if only to get the ideal form, we can perform liposuction, or use drugs. Of course it is not good for health. Indeed, we will get results quickly, and if you run a diet in a focus for health purposes, we'll get the ideal body shape a longer. However, I believe in the philosophy, "If we get something easily and quickly, we will also lose it easily and quickly, too. However, if we get something with effort and the time is not instant, it will last longer with us."

I just want to give advice, lets do a diet program for the sake of our health. Wouldn't you want a healthy body performance for a long time? If you want an instant results, I am sure that the diet you do is going to torture you. So, have you set the purpose of your diet?

Getting a Natural Beauty By Doing Fitness Exercise

Women Doing an Exercise
Inevitably, that beauty is something inherent in women. Beauty from the outside is something that can make a woman look more confident. Therefore, many women are trying to gain and maintain their beauty through a variety of ways. They will go to the salon for a body treatment, using many of cosmetics, taking drugs, and even some of them doing a plastic surgery. Even in Korea, plastic surgery has become a common thing among celebrities.

I as a young man certainly looks like women who are physically beautiful. But in my opinion, the natural beauty will be different when compared to the beauty of the result of the treatment. I have many female friends who are under 20 years old who use excessive makeup at a young age. Using make-up is necessary for women, even at a young age. However, if used in excess, I feel a little weird.

When using makeup for the sake of entertainment, for a job as a celebrity or enternainer maybe it is normal, but if only for the socially normal day-to-day, it will feel strange in my country, especially in the area that is not a metropolitan city.

On the other hand, I also have some female friends, which use the make-up without one, they still look beautiful naturally. You must have guessed what I will write next. Yes, they always incorporate fitness exercises in the list of their daily activities. Most of them are like me, who are aware of a healthy lifestyle in the midst of our lives that were not healthy. When I asked them about what sport they train, their answer is almost the same everything, that doing fitness routine. They all do weight training and cardio, some even practicing yoga and martial arts.

So does weight training will not make a big woman's muscles? I answered NO. In normal women, they do not have high hormones testosterone, the high hormone in women is estrogen, not testosterone. Their skin does look more toned and refreshed. They look beautiful naturally, very different from my female friends who do skin care with medication.

It would not hurt you to obtain your natural beauty by doing fitness exercise. Beauty care with medication will only damage the skin in the future. When you've stopped using drugs, then your skin will be damaged, because I have a sister like that. Especially with the plastic surgery, it would have a higher risk, in addition to the costs involved would more expensive. Is not your goal is to stay young despite your age is old?

Being Healthy is Not Enough Just By Praying

people praying for his healthy
Hopefully long life, is a common prayer being said when people celebrate birthday. Yes, everyone is looking forward to a healthy life for a long time, until we have a lot of grandchildren. But in my opinion, healthy lifestyle can not only be achieved just by praying. Life is indeed only to God, and health is a gift from Him. Clearly, health is something that we must guard through concrete actions. Indeed, one day we would have been called by God. But as I wrote in my first article, that the health is our precious treasure. A gift that should be treated well.

Health is like money, even more valuable. To get the money, we need to work, as well as health, must also work to get it. Is the money will come naturally if we just keep quiet in the room, and just prayed, "Lord I want to be rich"??. Likewise with health, can not come by itself. To get our money is often faced with the risk of losing. Likewise, to achieve health, There are also many difficulties and challenges that must be faced. Something that we should pray is, in order to our ways be smooth, the way to achieve health. Not that health can come into its own.

In this life, we have a lot of risk for death. In my opinion, there are 2 things, the risks from outside of us and within us. Examples of external risks such as traffic accidents, robbed, poisoned by man, was shot by criminals, struck by lightning, or other possibilities. As for the risk of in ourselves, is caused by our own actions, such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, renal failure, or lung disease. The disease appears, because we could not keep our own health. Here we can actually do to avoid the risk from within, is to maintain the health of ourselves. At a minimum, we can reduce one of the many risks.

I once said that health is our most precious wealth, more precious than gold or diamonds. If for to get the diamonds that we must work, moreover for health. But we must be thankful that God actually provides the means for us to be able to maintain our health. The ways that we can do easily, but we often do not notice it. Instead we often make it worse. Remember, being healthy is a choice, have to do with action, and not enough to pray alone.

Health Is a Precious Treasure

For me, health is a precious treasure. Believe it or not, health is our wealth that is difficult to assess by cost and among the most expensive, probably it more expensive than luxury cars, luxury homes, gold, money or diamonds. A thing of inestimable value because it's a gift from God.

Surely no one wants to fall sick, all definitely want to get healthy, so anything would have been done to obtain healing when we are sick. Everyone wants, should and must to have it, that makes health is have a worth price . Pain is a condition in which cells, tissues or organs are not working properly, and not like a car or a vehicle that can be easily replaced if there are damaged component. Humans can not make the body organs just like the original manually, we simply duplicate existing cloning methods, that would still have a high ratio of difficulties. Instead of an organ, just make a leaf manually we can not turn. Yes, because it is all natural technology, algorithms, and knowledge that is only controlled by God.

Even though we are a wealthy man, our wealth could be wiped out if we suffering a serious illness that requires expensive treatments and continuously. For example, if your kidneys are damaged and are not functioning again, then we must replace it, to seek a donor must be difficult. And if there are a donor, we definitely have to buy / pay very expensive, unless if there is a good-hearted donors and voluntary. That's just one organ, whereas there are a million cells and tissues in our body . What about if you have complications and many organ to be repaired?? Will surrender be a way out??.

Clearly, our wealth does not mean if we live without health. Be thankful if you have a good health today. Because to get it back would be more difficult than we have to maintain and manage. For behold, to take care of it can be done in a way that looks simple but very profound impact. But although it looks simple, but it will be difficult if we do not make it a routine lifestyle, such as quitting smoking for smokers, reducing and replacing sugary drinks with mineral water, eat more vegetables and fruits and other good habits.

Indeed, the fact that sometimes we realize that our actions are not good for health, but we still do it on purpose. Because all habits must be changed little by little, it will be very difficult if we immediately changed all our bad habits, we need to make healthy habits as patterns of our daily lives, not just the action for one time only. If you do not want to lose that precious treasure, then let us begin to change our lifestyle for the better with the initial step's simple.
