Are You Healthy

We Can Help!

Many people will visit the Hitch Fit site and see before and after pics writing comments like “I want to look like them” While this is great there is a huge difference in Looking FIT and being WELL.  Being healthy inside is more important to us then the outside look.  We can show changes from a visual standpoint but what we cannot show you is how healthy and great these people feel.

Wellness refers to the condition of good physical and mental health, especially when maintained by proper diet, exercise, and habits.  Nutrition refers to the nurturing of our body, in our ability to keep it healthy and functioning as it is supposed to do.  Our ability to provide the body with all the necessary food, vitamins, and minerals so that we continue to thrive in our daily life processes.  But do we know if we are really well?  How do we tell?

The first place to start would be with the examination of your eating habits.  Since we are a product of what we eat, if our eating habits are unhealthy, or do not provide for the nutrition we need, we’re not going to be healthy individuals at the end of the process. You will not be clear minded, your energy levels will be low and you will not look the way you want to.

Do you take in more calories than your body needs? Are you supplementing your vitamins and minerals to make sure you are getting your recommended daily allowances?  If you’re not making the most basic of efforts to take care of your nutritional needs, you aren’t a well individual.  You may not look sick, you may not have any noticeable symptoms of ill-health, but you’re not the well individual you could be.  Find a good multi Vitamin to add to your daily nutrition.  This will ensure you get the necessary nutrients to keep you healthy.

Next, you might want to look at your exercise habits, if there are any. If there aren’t any exercise routines to examine, no wellness.  Everyone, no matter what their age, benefits from exercise.  It keeps our bodies conditioned, our mental sharpness working at top speed, and thanks to the physical aspect, we get a boost to our cardio health, extra calorie burn, and more oxygen to those cells!  Our average age of client that comes to see us is around 43 years old.  It’s never too late to start a fitness lifestyle.  It’s about you being stronger and full of energy

What about the stress levels in your life? Do work in an environment with high levels of stress?  Is your personal life a source of comfort or does it add to your stress levels?  Do you engage in some form of stress-relieving activity?  Stress is the number on contributor to heart attacks and strokes, since they manage to speed up the affect of the real culprits.  Stress is basically an out of control situation for most adults today.  We manage to schedule every moment of our free time, and leave ourselves with no time for quiet reflection, or time to deal with life’s unexpected emergencies.  I always talk about controllable and uncontrollable, if there are people, Places or things in your life that are constantly bringing you down or stressing you out then you need to let these things go if possible, if not find a way to keep distance.  You need to be able to breathe and make choices that can allow you to grow.

Stress brings us to the next two topics of health abuse.  Smoking and drinking are often used to offset the effect that stress has on our nervous system.  These solutions however do not provide any real help.  If you smoke, drink, or lose sleep to excess, you’re not the well individual you could be.  Smoking, drinking, and loss of sleep work to our detriment, and it takes extreme discipline to stop.  Smoking fills our body with carcinogens, and works to keep us tired and lethargic.  You never mix a negative with a negative; it will only snowball in a very bad way leading to other negatives.  Instead of drinking or smoking, go to the gym and have a good workout.  It’s a great stress reliever

So now I want you to look at your everyday life.  Are you making good positive choices to ensure you are WELL and FIT?  You may feel trapped or scared to fail.  It’s time to break this chain.  Remember you have the power to make this happen you just have to be ready and willing to do what it takes.  It will take hard work, cutting out some things and readjusting what is comfortable to you now but what is most important is that you are healthy and happy for YOU and your family.
