We all, more than ever before, need a strong natural immune function to take on all these newly mutated bacteria, viruses, and pathogens that have invaded the food supply, the medicine supply, and our environment. Take for instance processed food. Void of most – if not all – nutrients, most processed “junk science” food contains chemicals for taste, color, texture, and preservation. Those chemicals tax your cleansing organs at extreme levels, and for extended periods of time, sometimes decades. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/exercise/physical_fitness/news.php?q=1580569462 2-1-20 Planning your hiking expedition can be a bit overwhelming, especially for beginners.  Not to mention the challenges that arise whilst you are actually out there in the wilderness. Many hikers will find it difficult to live in urban areas, and what about bears?  Then there are other concerns such as what to eat, what to pack, how to navigate while hiking and how to deal with ... text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/exercise/physical_fitness/news.php?q=1565618257 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/exercise/physical_fitness/news.php?q=1563464831 7-18-19 Have you ever tried to maintain a healthy routine? If you’re reading this, chances are you have. For many people, this can even be a difficult question to answer. What exactly defines a healthy routine? How do you know which routines are worth trying? How do you keep up? These were all questions I was asking when I first began the path to a healthy lifestyle. I felt overwhelmed by all of the different techniques, habits, and diets that I wasn’t able.. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/exercise/physical_fitness/news.php?q=1520267286 3-5-18 There are many reasons to be thankful for the cushy existence modernity affords us. War and other extenuating circumstances aside, you probably don’t fear for your life on a daily basis. You have clean water to drink. Food is widely available, and it’s affordable. You survived infancy, childhood, and adolescence, which is quite special on a historical scale. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/exercise/physical_fitness/news.php?q=1478359930 Nov. 4, 2000016   Evidence shows that physical exercise helps you build a brain that not only resists shrinkage as you age but also increases cognitive abilities. Exercise encourages your brain to work at optimum capacity by causing your nerve cells to multiply, strengthening their interconnections, and protecting them from damage. There are multiple mechanisms at play here, but some are becoming more understood than others. The rejuvenating role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is one of them. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/exercise/physical_fitness/news.php?q=1470325708 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/exercise/physical_fitness/news.php?q=1469815039 July 29 2016 If you don't drink enough water, you can easily become dehydrated. Many actually mistake their thirst for hunger, and this is one of the basic premises behind the idea that drinking water may alleviate hunger and help you lose weight. Many studies support this idea though, so it's not just pure hype. Most recently, researchers found that adults who were chronically under-hydrated had higher body mass index (BMI) and were more likely to be obese compared to well-hydrated adults.1,2,3,4,5 A BMI of 25 is considered overweight; 30 obese. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/exercise/physical_fitness/news.php?q=1446252434 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/exercise/physical_fitness/news.php?q=1424709794 Felb. 22, 2015 A 115-year-old woman, the oldest living person in Europe, believes the secret to her longevity is eating raw eggs and staying single for most of her life. At 115 years and nearly three months, Emma Morano in Italy is the oldest person in Europe and the fifth oldest in the world. Morano's elixir for longevity consists of raw eggs, which she has been eating - three per day - since her teens when a doctor recommended them to counter anemia. Morano is also convinced that being single for most of her life, after an unhappy marriage that ended in 1938 following the death of an infant son, has kept her kicking, 'The New York Times' reported. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/exercise/physical_fitness/news.php?q=1424483721 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/exercise/physical_fitness/news.php?q=1413133207 Oct. 10, 2014 Female sex hormone oestrogen is known to cause weight gain This is because it inhibits the thyroid which slows down metabolism Scientists said Western men exposed to oestrogen are becoming 'feminised'  Could also explain the drop in sperm count in men in affluent countries    Oestrogen is present in plastics, PVC and soy products  The obesity epidemic in men could be fuelled by the female sex hormone oestrogen, scientists claim. Experts believe the hormone could also be causing the well-documented drop in sperm count among Western men. They said men in affluent countries are becoming 'feminised', as they come into contact with products contain the female sex hormone. Compounds found in some plastic items, including drainpipes, and soy food products can mimic the effects of oestrogen, scientists said. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/exercise/physical_fitness/news.php?q=1400859985 May 23, 2014 There are many good reasons to work on and develop your core muscles, and these benefits go far beyond the aesthetic bonus of getting flatter abs. Developing and maintaining a strong and functional core will ensure that other areas of your body will work more harmoniously, allowing you to maintain good posture and conduct everyday movements of reaching and bending more easily and safely. It will also help prevent back pain1 and improve your continence. Planking has become increasingly popular for core strengthening, and for good reason: it works. Slacklining is another fun and exciting alternative that is gaining popularity. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/exercise/physical_fitness/news.php?q=1400029292 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/exercise/physical_fitness/news.php?q=1398861854 April 29, 2014 Human leg bones have grown weaker since farming was invented Scientists found bone structure declined after agriculture emerged Male farmers 7,300 years ago had legs of cross-country runners But just 3,000 years later, they had legs comparable to 'sedentary' students Mo Farah would have had some tough competition from ancient farmers living 7,300 years ago. Scientists claim if they were to cross paths, our ancestors would have been capable of outrunning some of the world’s most talented athletes.  That's according to recent research by Cambridge University which reveals just how far our fitness has fallen in just a couple of millennia.   The study looked at skeletons dating back to around 5,300 BC with the most recent to 850 AD - a time span of 6,150 years. Pictured is an early Neolithic (approximately 4000 - 5000 BC) 35-40 year old male from Vedrovice, Czech Republic which was analysed as part of the research. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/exercise/physical_fitness/news.php?q=1395417496 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/exercise/physical_fitness/news.php?q=1392488801 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/exercise/physical_fitness/news.php?q=1364488079 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/health/exercise/physical_fitness/news.php?q=1351878708 Nov. 2, 2012 If you're still not doing interval training, you're likely wasting an awful lot of time in the gym.

Until recently, most studies showed that after the age of 40, people typically lose eight percent or more of their muscle mass with each passing decade.  But newer research suggests that this is not a foregone conclusion. One recent study of 40 competitive runners, cyclists, and swimmers, ranging in age from 40 to 81, found no evidence of deterioration -- the athletes in their 70s and 80s had almost as much thigh muscle mass as the athletes in their 40s.
