Comments Off on Fitness Buff Turned Trash At The Beach Into Full-Fledged Gym – Huffington Post
Most people go to the beach to kick back. Not Alcindo Soares.
Soares always dreamed of becoming a professional athlete, Great Big Story reported in its profile of the exercise buff. But when he couldnt afford to join a gym in Cape Verde, an island country off the coast of West Africa, he decided to build his own.
Soares, who works in construction, collects the detritus he finds on the shores of Santa Maria beach and fashions it into workout equipment. The outdoor facility is replete with many of the trappings youd find at a standard fitness club, including weights, pull-up bars and a bench for dips. But theres no membership fee here.

Theres a dual purpose behind Soares mission. Hes is cleaning up his beach at a time when environmentalists are particularly concerned about the amount of pollution in our oceans. There are more than 150 million tons of plastic in marine waters today. At this rate, there will be more plastics than fish (by weight) in the oceans by 2050.
Soares is also providing a free community center to an area thats been ravaged by poverty. In Cape Verde, 21 percent of the population lives below the international poverty line, meaning they subsist on less than $1.25 a day.
For as long as I live, Ill continue to use it, Soares told Great Big Story of his gym. Train, then go swim in the ocean, and the day is complete.

East Brunswick Seniors: Exercise Program Sparks New Life – TAPinto – TAPinto.net
Exercise Programs Comments Off on East Brunswick Seniors: Exercise Program Sparks New Life – TAPinto – TAPinto.net
EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ - For Ruth Gottlieb,82, andJean Timper, 85, andmembers atthe East Brunswick Senior Center, exercise is the high point of their day. What gets them most excited? Line dancing.
I even dance around the house. When Im vacuuming or cooking, I just stop and dance around and stretch. I like to be flexible, says Gottlieb, a former teacher who says her only regular exercise before retirement was running after students.
Since 2002, the friends have kept moving through programs designed by Rutgers Center for Exercising and Aging, in which students lead seniors in activities ranging from strength training to aerobics.If I had not been exercising all these years, I dont think Id be here or doing as great as I am,says Timper.
Sign Up for E-News
The center, which celebrates 15 years this year, was founded by Susan Kaplowitz, a teaching professor in the Department of Kinesiology and Health at Rutgers School of Arts and Sciences. As a personal trainer specializing in older adults, Kaplowitz realized that her students primarily exercise science majors would benefit from a course that taught them the importance of exercise in the aging population.
I wanted to provide a course that would prepare them for careers that involved geriatrics, she says. Plus, I thought it would be a great way to apply our knowledge to benefit the local community.
Kaplowitz launched the program with the participation of her own clients as she reached out to local senior centers and assisted living facilities, such as the East Brunswick Senior Center and Monroe Village in Monroe Township. The organizations partner with the program by allowing students to work with their members on-site or sending seniors to gyms on the Cook/Douglass campus for exercise classes throughout the year.
Seniors visit centers mainly to socialize. Its an important part of their day, Kaplowitz says. The program allows them to socialize and build their self-confidence as they see their strength improve. Many of our participants have not exercised before, especially in strength training.
Exercise helps older adults maintain daily functions, Kaplowitz notes. The most important exercises focus on the lower body to improve balance since seniors are prone to falls, she says. Cardiovascular exercise is also essential. As people age, muscle mass decreases and body fat composition increases, which can lead to conditions like diabetes. Cardio can improve body composition and endurance and allow seniors to perform daily tasks without losing breath.
Strength training improves flexibility; when seniors keep moving, their joints stay mobile, helping to prevent osteoarthritis and assisting them in activities like moving their head easier when driving.
Ive seen many 80-year-olds who are more fit than 50-year-olds. It doesnt matter how athletic you once were, when your body ages, you need to exercise to maintain it, says teaching assistant Bella Bulsara, who will graduate this spring with a bachelors of science degree and continue on to graduate school to become a physical therapist. The most important goal is to preserve the ability to perform simple tasks, like lifting your arms and walking, without losing breath. Each person has his or her own constraints. The students learn how to tailor exercises to the individual, even when leading a large group.
Last year, the center began a collaboration with Rutgers School of Health Professions, in which Aging Track program director Tracy Davisbrings her perspective as a researcher in gerontology as an instructor and guest lecturer. In the future, Kaplowitz envisions more collaborations with the school.
The students perform community outreach as well. Since 2009, they have helped supervise the New Jersey Senior Olympics in Woodbridge and participated in the Middlesex County Run/Walk by hosting programs on balance, performing fitness tests and offering games.
I bubble over when I exercise with the students. They give great pointers, says Millie Holder, 93, a resident at Monroe Village. Its so important to keep as active as possible for your ability even if youre just moving your fingers. The students help me zero in on arthritis; I roll a ball up my arm with one finger, squeeze a ball or use stretch bands, but chair aerobics is my favorite.
Exercise has improved Holders stamina. I used to think it was such long walk to my apartment. Now, I run from my home to the auditorium, she says. Being active every day is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Nutrient of the Month
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a substance similar to a vitamin. It is found in every cell of the body. Your body makes CoQ10, and your cells use it to produce energy your body needs for cell growth and maintenance. It also functions as an antioxidant, which protects the body from damage caused by harmful molecules. CoQ10 is naturally present in small amounts in a wide variety of foods, but levels are particularly high in organ meats such as heart, liver and kidney, as well as beef, soy oil, sardines, mackerel and peanuts.
Sees Candies
A new shipment is in of a delicious assortment of chocolates and candies; sugar-free varieties available.
Proceeds will help support the programs and services offered by the Senior Center.

Lose Weight Safely Comments Off on Losing weight safely | Health Information | Bupa UK
Start by thinking about what you want to gain from losing weight and if you feel ready. Losing weight isn't easy. You need to be ready to sign up to the challenge and get through some potentially tough times to achieve your goal. What works for you might be very different for someone else but below are some ideas to think about that may help keep you motivated.
If you have tried to lose weight in the past and it didn't go too well, try and identify what went wrong. Then think about how you can change things this time. Were there any triggers that made you eat more? Decide upfront how you're going to tackle these. Or you might identify that you need more support, or to build more exercise into your life to help keep the weight off.
Think about what really motivates you and how you can use this to stick to your weight-loss plan. It might help to write down your weight-loss goal and put it on the fridge as a constant reminder. Or you might be more motivated by the thought of being able to fit in those old jeans that are currently too tight. Try to pin down what motivates you and use this in your weight-loss plan.
Make sure you build some rewards into your plan if you achieve your goals, or to help you keep going if you're struggling. As well as giving yourself a pat on the back for losing weight, celebrate when you've conquered bad habits too. But don't reward yourself with food! Think about other things such as a spa treatment or trip to a sports event. Get a list together before you start it might be that extra motivation you need.
While it's great to be determined to achieve your goals, don't be too hard on yourself if you slip up once in a while. With all the willpower in the world, life can still throw up some serious temptations to knock you off course. Accept that this will happen and that its not the end of the world or your diet. Get straight back on track and dont let the slip-up make you lose sight of the progress you're making. Hopefully, you'll learn from it and can lessen the chances of it happening again.
Though it may sound easier said than done, if you want to lose weight you can do it just go for it!
Another element of losing weight is to change certain behaviours. Many of us have an array of deep-seated bad habits. Examples are anything from always eating something sweet after meals to having our local take-away on speed dial for after a bad day. A lot of this can revolve around comfort or 'emotional' eating, so it's important to take steps to recognise this. Pay more attention to what you're eating, when and why youre eating it.
Some people find it helps to practise mindfulness meditation to combat emotional eating. This is a technique whereby you train yourself to tolerate, and accept hunger, weight, and exercise-related thoughts and urges. You also learn to cope with guilt and anxiety about food.
There are tools that can help you practice mindfulness meditation. These include the following.

Lose weight with these 8 little changes – Fox News
Lose Weight Comments Off on Lose weight with these 8 little changes – Fox News
Losing weight shouldn't mean giving up all the foods you love. Try these small changes, and you may notice big results.
1.Spice up your coffee. With cinnamon, that is. Sweetening your drink with a dash of cinnamon instead of sugar and sugary creamer can save upward of 80 calories per drink.
2.Have egg-y French toast (or pancakes). Order your eggs over-easy, and use that delicious egg yolk to add moisture to your breakfast no butter or syrup needed! Youll get a bonus boost of protein, too. Need some recipe inspo? Try this egg-topped Protein-Rich Cherry French Toast, with no added sugar.
THE 14 HEALTHIEST ITEMS AT YOUR FAVORITE FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS
3.Make hummus your new favorite condiment. Next time you have a baked potato, top it with hummus instead of butter. Dont dismiss this until you have tried it, Keri Gans, RDN, author of The Small Change Diet, told Fox News. Creamy hummus adds a lot of flavor to a baked potato, with a lot less calories than butter. Thats 77 calories less per Tablespoon, to be exact. The bonus is you also get fiber and protein from the chickpeas, Gans added.
4.Turn on slow jams during dinner. The speed of music influences how fast we eat, Christy Brissette, MS, RD, owner of 80 Twenty Nutrition in Toronto, told Fox News. Quick-serve restaurants sometimes use this trick to get people in and out of their seats faster. Playing slow music could have the opposite effect helping you eat more slowly and realize youre full faster.
WHAT TO ORDER AT OLIVE GARDEN IF YOU'RE ON A DIET
5.Vinegar down your salad dressing. Dilute your favorite salad dressing with balsamic vinegar. Youll pucker up for the intense flavor, while practically slashing your calories in half,Bonnie Taub-Dix, RDN, author of Read It Before You Eat It told Fox News.
6.Eat fragrant cheese. Yes, this means you can eat cheese and lose weight! But choose the super flavorful varieties so a little goes a long way, Brissette advised. Try Manchego or Parmesan, so just a sprinkle adds tons of flavor to your salad or pasta. You wont need those big chunks of cheese you might be tempted to add when using less flavorful versions.

7.Add beans to Bolognese. I am a die-hard meat lover, but I love to add black beans to a Bolognese so I can reduce the amount of chopped sirloin used, Gans said. This not only cuts calories it also adds health benefits from the beans, like helping to decrease your risk of heart disease.
8.Mix your drink differently. In lieu of tonic water, use club soda as a mixer for your next drink. It contains zero calories, whereas tonic water has 124 calories per 12 ounces. This is nearlyas much as cola, Ginger Hultin, MS, RDN, owner of Champagne Nutrition in Seattle, told Fox News.

How to lose weight without dieting – WAAY
Lose Weight Comments Off on How to lose weight without dieting – WAAY
Stephanie McMurry is a registered dietitian who knows nearly every "lose weight fast" trick.
"I've heard of bizarre tips such as sniffing an apple to try to take away a craving," she said.
In her years of experience, she's noticed most people cannot maintain "fad" diets.
With swimsuit season around the corner, WAAY 31 wanted to find scientifically-proven ways to shed pounds, without heading to the gym. WAAY 31 presented those tips to McMurry, to see if the tricks are realistic.
Trick one, sniff a banana or peppermint. Studies found as more people sniffed fruit, they were less hungry. They even lost an average of 30 pounds!
But, McMurry doesn't believe it. She says sniffing fruit would increase your cravings and make you focus more on your food.
Trick two, eat a bigger breakfast than dinner. Studies found people who ate a large breakfast, shed 11 pounds more than those who ate a large dinner.
Trick three, tie a ribbon around your waist.As you eat, the ribbon will tighten and it keeps you conscious of when your stomach is full. McMurry likes this concept, but she says people would be tempted to take it off.
Trick four, eat in front of a mirror. A study found participants reduced their food intake by one-third. But, McMurry says physically monitoring what you eat will keep you from enjoying your meal and would not work in the long-run.
Trick five, take pictures of your food. Nutritionists say a visual account of food helps to curb your appetite.
Trick six, eat wrapped candy.A study found people ate 30-percent less candy when they took the time to unwrap it.
Trick seven, is what McMurry's husband swears by.Instead of chowing down on M&M's, he tears a corner off the bag and eats the candies, one piece at a time.
Then, he lets it melt on his tongue. McMurry says eating candy in this manner, gives your senses time to smell and taste the chocolate and you ultimately eat less.
Trick eight, light a vanilla-scented candle after dinner. "The candle takes the place of dessert. Your senses smell something sweet and it makes you think of a baked good and you will skip dessert," said McMurry. A study found participants lost an average of 4.5 pounds each, by wearing vanilla-scented patches.
Trick nine, use small plates. McMurry says we're used to piling food onto our plates, so by using smaller plates, we would put less food on it and eat smaller portions.
Trick ten, surround yourself with the color blue.Researchers found people ate 33-percent less in a blue room. They say the blue hue makes food look less appealing. On the flip side, the colors red, yellow and orange encourage eating.
Nutritionists also recommend eating under bright lights.
For the best results, make sure you consult a health professional.

Long-Term Weight Management Data Reported for Saxenda – MPR – Monthly Prescribing Reference (registration)
Long Term Weight Loss Comments Off on Long-Term Weight Management Data Reported for Saxenda – MPR – Monthly Prescribing Reference (registration)
April 27, 2017
A total of 3,731 patients were treated for 56 weeks; those with pre-diabetes were treated for 160 weeks
Novo Nordisk announced that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a labeling update for Saxenda (liraglutide) injection to include long-term safety and efficacy data from the SCALE trial.
The SCALE (Satiety and Clinical Adiposity - Liraglutide Evidence in adults with and without Diabetes) Obesity and Pre-diabetes trial was a 3-year trial that evaluated the long-term safety and efficacy of Saxenda in combination with a reduced-calorie meal plan and increased physical activity, in adults with pre-diabetes at screening. Study patients were obese ( BMI 30kg/m2) or overweight (BMI 27kg/m2) with 1 weight-related comorbidity, and on a reduced-calorie meal plan with increased physical activity.
A total of 3,731 patients were treated for 56 weeks; those with pre-diabetes were treated for 160 weeks. The study aimed to assess the maintenance of weight loss (5% of body weight). In the study, almost half of the Saxenda-treated patients (26% vs. 10% placebo) who lost 5% of body weight after 56 weeks (56% vs. 25% placebo) maintained their weight loss for 3 years.
These findings further confirm the safety profile of Saxenda and are comparable to the safety data seen at 56 weeks. Gastrointestinal adverse events (eg, nausea, diarrhea) were more common with Saxenda vs. placebo.
Saxenda, a once-daily glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, is indicated as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management in adult patients with an initial body mass index of 30kg/m2 or 27kg/m2 in the presence of at least one weight-related comorbid condition. It is available as a solution for subcutaneous injection in a pre-filled, multi-dose pen.
For more information call (800) 727-6500or visit Saxenda.com.
