Why You Must Be Fit To Be Healthy

In this article, I'm going to give you some
powerful reasons to start exercising and continue
it on a regular basis for the rest of your life.

First, I'll start of with a quote from Dr.
Douglas Graham who is one of the top raw food
speakers and authorities in the world and also a
world class sports nutritionist. I wrote this in
yesterday's article but I think it's a great way
to get your attention and get started.

* Why It's Impossible To Be Healthy Without
Being Fit

"The other part of your question was why so much
attention to fitness and that is because human
beings are supposed to be fit. It's a natural
state of being for us to be fit and it's the one
of the legs upon which health is created. It is
not possible and I will explain why in great
depth, but it is absolutely physiologically
impossible for an unfit person to be healthy."

"It is also impossible for an unfit person to be
well nourished no matter what diet they're on.
Even if they're on the best diet in the world, an
unfit person cannot be well nourished and we'll
explain that in depth because that usually rocks
people pretty deeply to their core."

This quote is taken from Dr. Graham's interview
with Frédéric Patenaude. To get the whole
interview please use this link: Look for the
4-Day Mini Course.

* Study: Exercise Can Add 3.5 Years to Your Life

I just read this article last night. There were
actually two studies that showed that regular and
vigorous exercise can extend your life. Here's a
short quote from the article.

"Life expectancy at age 50 for the medium
activity group was 1.5 years longer than for the
low activity group. The high activity group lived
3.5 years longer.

The extra years were lived mostly free from
heart disease."

This study suggests that the more you exercise
the longer you'll live. Regular exercise had a
powerful effect on reducing heart disease.

* Exercise Makes You Smarter

Last year I read a study which showed that if
you exercise regularly in your older years, you
won't lose your mental or thinking ability.

The study was done over 10 years on 290 European
men between the ages of 70 and 90. What they
found was astonishing in my opinion.

The men who continued their normal exercise
routines for the period of the trial lost no
mental abilities at all. Loss of mental function
was 3.6 times greater for men with the lowest
levels of activity compared to those who were the
most active.

"The researchers found that the reduction in
mental ability, as measured by a standardized
test, was 2.6 times greater in the men who
reduced their activity by an hour or more a day
compared to those who maintained their activity
level."

* Vigorous Exercise Alkalizes the Body

Did you know that you can make your body more
alkaline by doing vigorous exercise that makes
you breathe deeply?

This is an amazing benefit of my Lightning Speed
Fitness Program. It will get you huffing and
puffing and therefore alkalizing your body. I can
noticeably feel the difference in how good I feel
when I regularly do Lightning Aerobics which is
included when you get the Lightning Speed Fitness
Program.

In order to get this alkalizing affect, you have
to exercise in the right way. Because if you do
it wrong, you will actually make your body too
acidic. But if you follow the Lightning Speed
Aerobics Program you'll not only alkalize your
body but you'll also notice dramatically
increased energy levels.

My Lightning Speed Aerobics Program can be found
in the Member's Only forum.

If you'd like to see how fun and easy, vigorous
exercise can be, then I suggest you get The

* Exercise Helps With Detoxification

Our lymph system is like our human garbage
disposal system. This is the system that helps to
remove all the toxins in your body.

The lymph system is a protector and a defense
mechanism against infection, viruses, bacteria,
fungi and disease. It is comprised of fluid,
vessels, ducts and various other organs and
structures. It clears toxins, wastes, excess
fluids, and infection from all tissues of the
body through proper flow and drainage provided
this essential system is functioning at its peak.

Every cell in your body is surrounded by lymph
fluid. You have four times more lymph fluid in
your body than blood.

Here is an interesting fact; the lymph system
does not have a pump. Lymph fluid can only be
pumped by deep breathing and exercise. This is a
clue that exercising was supposed to be a natural
part of our design.

**  Vigorous exercise is reported to increase lymph
flow by 15 to 30 times.

This again is why it is so important to
exercise. You can never have ideal health if you
don't exercise regularly.

A book that goes into great detail about the
lymph system and how to naturally cure cancer is
"The Fit For Life Solution," by Harvey Diamond.
If you have cancer or any disease or illness,
then this book is something you should definitely
read. For more information on the book, please
visit this link:

Or maybe you just want to be fully educated in
how your body runs and heals itself. I think
you'll be astonished at how the medical system
misunderstands the lymph system and is always
trying to remove so-called cancerous lymph nodes.
Removing lymph nodes is removing a vital part of
the body's detoxification system, this doesn't
result in increased health.

* All Humans 10,000 Years Ago Exercised
Vigorously Every Day

Before the advent of agriculture or farming,
humans were nomadic. They had to travel long
distances on a daily basis to get their foods.
Here are some interesting points made by
Nutritional Anthropologist Geoff Bond, in his
book, "Natural Eating."

Early humans lived in groups of 35 to 50 people
and had a territory of about 200 miles which they
ferociously defended. This group would camp in
one place for a few days then move on and make
another camp 10 to 20 miles away.

Not only that but women, children and older men
would walk and travel an average of five miles per
day while foraging for food. But men went out on
hunting for small game and would be collecting
edible matter on an opportunistic basis. They
traveled between 9 and 12 miles per day on their
expeditions with periods of running or jogging.

I don't think humans could have been overweight
and out of shape in those days. The quality of
the food was much better, even if they cooked
some of it and of course they exercised like crazy.

It is estimated that the average female adult
energy expenditure was 600 calories per day
compared to the 230 calories for today's
sedentary female office worker. Adult men on the
other hand burned an extra 1,000 calories per
day. Compare this with the modern male office
worker expenditure of 306 calories.

So you can see that from the earliest times
humans always exercised vigorously just in order
to survive. Movement and activity was natural for
them and they were actually much healthier and
longer-lived than when humans switched to farming
and living in one place.

I hope this information gives you even more
motivation to exercise. I know it has motivated
me. I think I'll go do some Lightning Aerobics
right now.

To Your Radiant Health, Happiness, Fitness and Freedom,
