Here is a very interesting article to read about Soy and the affect it can have on your body. Many people believe Soy is extremely healthy food and that more is better and that is much better to avoid fat from full cream milk. This is not just going to ruin your health and fitness efforts but can also create more harm than good. This is a very interesting article by Dr Larry Shapiro that explains why.

Make no mistake SUGAR WILL MAKE YOU FAT! It is really very simple. Sugar is converted directly to fat by your liver and it destroys your appetite control so you want to eat more of it all the time. There are so many diet books, information, super-foods, gurus, dieticians and nutritionists all telling us "eat this or eat that", when the most simplest tip - ELIMINATE SUGAR is often missed. No wonder people are so confused about what to do. Most of us are aware that sugar is not good for us, and we try to stay clear of this food as best as we can. However many people are not aware of just how often sugar is added to foods and just how addictive it can be. Not all sugars are created equal, and they’re hidden in most of today’s processed foods. Many health-conscious people are still under the mistaken belief that as long as the sugar is all-natural, it’s fine to eat. This is not true at all. Natural fruit juice, raw cane sugar, and any number of other natural sugars will still wreak havoc on your health. Sugar is really public enemy number one. Added sugar is not really the problem; it is now becoming what’s in a lot of our food that we don’t recognize as sugar. Whether it’s having apple juice (which is worse for you than a soft drink), or having a yogurt sweetened with fruit juice concentrate, or whether you’re just thinking that fruits are actually healthy for you which is what most nutritionists still tell us, these are all creating problems that end up as weight gain or diseases.

In the rehabilitation and occupational therapy field, therapists devise exercises and techniques for helping people suffering from severe injuries to "relearn" how to move, so they can go back to daily living without any limitation or fear. Some of the exercises used are everyday tasks that the patient needs to practice and be shown how to do while the brain reconnects the pathways for creating movement. There is obviously a loss of muscular strength, but the loss of neurological connection with movement is more significant and exercises that target this have a greater effect on strength than the strength training itself. For older adults or seniors, this is also very true and real. Their poor balance, strength, mobility and co-ordination can be significantly enhanced from learning complex movements and tasks that mimic everyday activities, as opposed to simple strength training exercises with a single focus of building muscle. Walking and machine based exercise will have no effect on learning to move with skill and co ordination. In this article I am going to show you how to use exercises we use in our Stronger For Longer Older Adults program, to enhance movement skills with Older adults and you will see videos of real clients performing these drills and exercises. The Fitness industry must recognize that the population is getting older and sicker, and it is up to us to show these people how to prevent many of the unnecessary health problems via a well designed Health & Fitness program.
