9 Lifestyle Changes for Better Health



  1. Nutrition - Can make the difference of life or death. Vital nutrients and substances from fruits and vegetables fuel and infuse the body to operate in optimum health.

Burn 300% More Body Fat!




In order for aerobic exercise to be an effective fat burner it needs to be performed at the appropriate times. There are two ideal times when aerobic exercise is most effective in burning fat. The first ideal time is first thing in the morning on an empty stomach after drinking 16 to 24 ounces of water in order to prevent dehydration. When performed at this time you burn 300 percent more body fat than at any other time in the day because your body does not have any glycogen (stored carbohydrates) in it's system to burn. Therefore, it has to go directly into the fat stores in order to get the energy necessary to complete the activity. The other time that aerobic exercise is most effective is immediately after a weight training session, when your gycogen stores have already been depleted. Because of this, once you start doing your cardio, you will burn fat as soon as you elevate your heart rate since it will be the only fuel that will be available.

Three Keys to Controlling Hunger

Are you hungry all the time? Discover how you can use your body's own hormone, leptin, to keep hunger at bay.

Leptin is a natural hormone produced in our body's fat cells that is secreted after a meal to tell our brain that we are full and no longer hungry. After the meal is digested, our leptin levels fall and our hungry appetite returns.

Use the following 3 keys to ease your rampant hunger and loose your excess fat.

In this article I cover:


  1. Avoid High-fructose corn syrup
