Fact of the day! No starvation and drink up!

Hey everyone! This fact is about body temperature and how to stay Alive :)

As body temp drops below 37 degrees C (98.6 F), metabolic reactions become Slower and slower, and finally stop.

SO!!! This fact is telling y'all to NOT starve because your body needs food to fuel its normal body temperate and keep it right! in the end, it is very harmful to starve or skip meals. you are only damaging the rate of breaking down food. Eventually, when you do decide to eat food, the body will keep every nutrient from that food, holding onto it causing you to either stay the same weight, or gain it.
your not only starving, but your metabolism has now completely slowed down or stopped working. :/
So keep on feeding that coal ( food) to keep the fire burning( stomach and metabolism ) !!!!

Also, when body temperature is too high, chemical reactions occur at a frantic pace and body proteins lose their characteristic shape and stop functioning. At an extreme, death occurs. The activity of the muscular system generates most of the body heat!

So stay hydrated and drink your water! 60-80% of water accounts for our body weight and it is also the single most abundant chemical substance in the body. Water provides the watery environment necessary for chemical reactions and the fluid base for body secretions and excretions.
Drink up fools!

These facts were brought to you by Elaine Marieb and Kata Hoehn, the authors of my Human Anatomy & Physiology book!

Have an awesome day everyone!!
FOOD IS THE FUEL TO OUR BODIES, MIND, AND SOUL! :)

Getting there!

Just finished some abs and arms! Trying to build light 4 pack for next summer!!!! Drinking my protein shake as well, second and a half one today!!!
I feel more alive after working out. As my evening will continue, I will start to feel the motion of my muscles , as I continue my day.
Wanna know what that feels like?
Simply work out!
It's a way to connect with your own body, in a healthy way!

Don't want to work out, that's cool! But you should at least start by stretching your muscles, stretch them until you feel a little tug.
Honestly, I lost 20 lbs all by a healthy diet and stretching every day!
Now, I maintaining my weight loss and I am putting on muscle.

The power of workouts


It has been said that yoga is the ultimate way for us to feel more intuitive with the body.
I have to say, I may agree to disagree with you people on this one!
Yet maybe i feel as i do not agree because of who I am today.
I am a yogi. My mind is my spirit and my thoughts are my beliefs.

I can say that when I do happen to work out using weights, I am very more focused into my arm movements, I focus on them being slow and steady rather than fast and sloppy.

I had just finished my most recent work out about an hour ago.
I love when I am finished with my workouts because as I walk away, I feel my body is more alive.
I notice that my stride in my walk has more of a sway to it, my hips swing side to side in a smooth motion.
I notice how my knees bend with every step I take when I am walking up or down my stairs in the house.

I seem to notice these motions more than ever after a workout.

Any type of workout for my body is my way of relaxation.
Working out, for me, is my drug.
I cant life without it.

Recovery workout shake!

Just did about an hr and a half of yoga! Now it's time for my protein / recovery shake :) yum yum yum!
I need to eat more protein.
I did my calculations and I should be getting about 61 grams of protein daily :0
I hardly get Half of that!!!

TIME TO BULK UP, BITCHES : D
