Benefits of Exercise With Depression:


Improved self-esteem is a key psychological benefit of regular physical activity. When you exercise, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. These endorphins interact with the receptors in your brain that reduce your perception of pain.
Endorphins also trigger a positive feeling in the body, similar to that of morphine. For example, the feeling that follows a good workout is often described as "euphoric." That feeling, known as "a natural high," can be accompanied by a positive and energizing outlook on life.

YOU ARE NOT AN ADDICT...

Conclusions
Results suggest that an underlying negative cognitive style may account for the stress generation effect often found in depressed individuals, particularly for women. Adequately addressing cognitive patterns in treatment or prevention programs may not only effectively reduce depression, but may also reduce the likelihood of experiencing negative life events that often serve as precipitants for depression.

Immune system discoveries win 2011 medicine Nobel

PERALTAPROFITNESS.COM
Medicine, or physiology, is usually the first of the Nobel prizes awarded each year. Prizes for achievements in science, literature and peace were first awarded in 1901 accordance with the will of dynamite inventor and businessman Alfred Nobel.
The award citation noted that the world's scientists had long been searching for the "gatekeepers" of the immune response by which man and other animals defend themselves against attack by bacteria and other micro-organisms.
Beutler and Hoffmann discovered receptor proteins that can recognize attacking microorganisms and which activate "innate immunity," the first step in the body's immune response.
"Ralph Steinman discovered the dendritic cells of the immune system and their unique capacity to activate and regulate adaptive immunity, the later stage of the immune response during which microorganisms are cleared from the body," it added.

Power Outage (Disuse of the muscles)?!!!

Muscle atrophy is defined as a decrease in the mass of the muscle; it can be a partial or complete wasting away of muscle. When a muscle atrophies, this leads to muscle weakness, since the ability to exert force is related to mass.


peraltaprofitness.com

Muscular atrophy decreases quality of life as the sufferer becomes unable to perform certain tasks or worsen the risks of accidents while performing those (like walking).
 Muscular atrophy affects a major number of elderly.

Categories of physical exercise:

Sometimes the terms 'dynamic' and 'static' are used. 'Dynamic' exercises such as steady running, tend to produce a lowering of the diastolic blood pressure during exercise, due to the improved blood flow. Conversely, static exercise (such as weight-lifting) can cause the systolic pressure to rise significantly (during the exercise).

WARNINGS & CAUTIONS!!!


peraltaprofitness.com
Of all our senses-Smell, Hearing, Sight, Taste and Touch,

sight-vision  is our most developed.  It is our dominant sense and the means by which the average person receives the vast majority of their information and education. 
It has been shown that nearly 85% of all of the information that we gather in a lifetime is taken into our minds through our eyes.
The quality of our vision, how well and truly we are seeing, to a great extent determines the quality of our personal reality which shapes how we live our lives.

The information that we take in our eyes is the raw material from which we create our own sense of reality.  The context that is based upon past experiences determines our behavior in present circumstances.  Perhaps even more importantly, our eyes are the only organs of our bodies that are actually outgrowths of our brain.

Other uses of green tea are also popular, though there is little research to support most of the uses. Remember that the lack of research for these conditions does not diminish the antioxidant benefits of green tea.

is exercise intense enough to trigger anaerobic metabolism.
It is used by athletes in non-endurance sports to promote strength, speed and power and by body builders to build muscle mass.
Muscles energy systems trained using anaerobic exercise develop differently compared to aerobic exercise, leading to greater performance in short duration, high intensity activities, which last from mere seconds up to about 2 minutes.
Any activity after about two minutes will have a large aerobic metabolic component.

The Scorpio is one of the most prominent of all the zodiac signs. It represents one of the strongest, intelligent signs. The Scorpio personality is usually powerfully intense, strong, and persistent, and the traits of the Scorpio varies with both positive and negative characteristics. Overall, Scorpio's are generally powerful, independent, strong, and probing.

The Scorpio personality is a sign that has been studied for years. The persistence of these studies have concluded on several traits the Scorpio possesses. Among these traits are several positive qualities, which make this sign a powerful one in the world of astrology.

The Scorpio, which is considered the water sign is symbolized by the scorpion. Scorpio’s are strong, deep, mysterious, complex, and also secretive. They love to unveil the mysteries of life, and are usually very emotional, often keeping their own deepest mysteries and trials to themselves. Their emotions are often hidden or disguised by strength and motivation.

One trait of the Scorpio personality is that of an achiever, striving to succeed, and do well in life. They are often an influence of leadership and play important roles in the lives of people surrounding them. Scorpio’s are determined and often very passionate, causing them to be exciting and magnetic to other people. In other words, they are extremely likeable for their intuitive traits.

Scorpios are considered the most profound and intense characters in the zodiac. They may appear to calm and self controlling, but in reality they are actually very emotional individuals. The Scorpio personality is unlike any astrologically designed persona. Although it is extremely powerful, without the persistency of their own self discipline, they are more susceptible to pain. And when there is pain present, Scorpio’s feel it like no other because they are so deep.

Scorpio’s are often very powerful in the lives of the people they know and love. Their traits can be used in extremely positive manors or the exact opposite. Their strong emotionalism can often be responsible for acts that are only beneficial to themselves. In other words, at times the Scorpio personality may show severe signs of selfishness. The immense intensity that is shared by Scorpio’s can either be a good thing or a flaw, but can definitely prove to be an asset when times are hard.

Often showing an extreme sense of calmness and stability, Scorpio’s are infamous for holding their emotions within. Thus, they appear calm and stable, but could really be ready to burst at any moment. This trait can often lead to extreme actions and impulsiveness, which might be categorized as a negative trait.

Scorpio’s are considered to be gifted. Their high striving minds are often incapable of accepting failure. Thus, Scorpio’s are often more likely to succeed in their goals and dreams. There persistence in achieving their goals is considered to be one of the many positive traits of the Scorpio personality. They are often intrigued with finding a higher, deeper meaning for life.

Scorpio’s prove to be excellent friends. They are loyal and committed to their companions and are often vital roles in the lives of the one’s who love them. They are also extremely passionate lovers, but tend to be more complicated in the world of romance. The typical Scorpio believes in commitment and even marriage, usually only involving themselves with one partner at a time. Although, the Scorpio personality is one that will cherish the true aspects of love, they are more susceptible to receiving a broken heart because of their emotional traits.

Sex Appeal Thru Exercise. By Vicente

Getting in shape works wonders for improving health, alleviating stress and making intimate encounters more gratifying.

There is one thing for sure. Poor body image can be a deal breaker. People with poor images of their bodies often have diminished self-esteem making it difficult to feel desirable or sexually attractive.

 

Sexual Attractiveness Body Image And Exercise

Body image is a difficult subject to pinpoint considering it does not have standardized meaning for everyone.
Many variables affect how one perceives his or her body.
Paige Waehner, CPT, offers her version of body image as:
  • How one feels about how they look
  • How one sees them-self
  • How one thinks others see them
  • How one feels in their body
However, adding exercise could be the answer to quickly raising low self-esteem and/or enhancing strained body image.

LITERACY... ???... !!! ... ???...


MIND-BODY-FAMILY-
SOCIETY or NATURE!!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy

Literacy has traditionally been described as the ability to read and write.
It is a concept claimed and defined by a range of different theoretical fields.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) defines literacy as the "ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate, compute and use printed and written materials associated with varying contexts.
Literacy involves a continuum of learning in enabling individuals to achieve their goals, to develop their knowledge and potential, and to participate fully in their community and wider society."
This idea has forever changed the landscape of information access, and is integral in an understanding of Literacy as a practice, in the 21st Century.
It is no longer sufficient to consider whether a student can 'read' (decoding text, really) and 'write' (encoding text), and it is necessary to consider more meaningful aspects of literacy in education and in society as a whole, if we are to complete the transition we are in, from a society in which communication was never possible on the level of 'many to many', to one in which it is.

Inxs - Devil Inside!!!

1 Peter:

... 5. Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

6. Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.

7. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

8. Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

9. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. ...!!!

Consuming the right amount and types of calories, and doing so at the right times.

PROFESSIONAL BODY SCULPTING
Ohio-based registered dietician Dawn Weatherwax has seen athletes improve their speed and strength up to 15 percent with proper nutrition. Good eating also builds the immune system and helps athletes stave off or recover from injury, according to Weatherwax, who consults with athletes at all levels and was brought in to speak at Center Grove by athletic director Jon Zwitt the past two years.
"It's great for anybody, whether you're trying to gain muscle, lose body fat, have more energy (or) be more consistent," Weatherwax said.

Sportsmanship

Peralta Professional Fitness
Fairness in following the rules of the game, expresses an aspiration or ethos that the activity will be enjoyed for its own sake, with proper consideration for fairness, ethics, respect, and a sense of fellowship with one's competitors.

Being a "good sport" involves being a "good winner" as well as being a "good loser".

Fairness, respect for one's opponent, and graciousness in winning or losing.

Oz says he is most proud of the free training support the program offers.
Working with a personal trainer is more effective than working alone, he says, yet many people are unable to afford a trainer on a regular basis.
"Personal trainers are much more effective to stay in shape and to lose weight than folks alone," Oz said. "That's probably true with probably any health change you want to make...
These are well-proven, substantiated relationships."
The key to working with a trainer, says Oz, is finding one that matches your personality.
