Understanding Your Health

Have you ever wondered how it is you can eat less and still gain weight? Or have you ever wondered how stress can affect you health in so many ways? How can some people get up every morning and workout, while others (maybe even you) can't get the motivation to do so? Where does that motivation come from?

It is my intention to answer those questions here as best I can. I believe that most of the health problems in our world today stem from misinformation and false beliefs about proper diet and exercise. I’ve seen people virtually starving themselves to death and wondering why they can’t lose weight. I’ve seen people avoid carbohydrates because some doctor said we should and then can’t understand why they are tired all the time. I’ve seen people buy the latest weight loss product or piece of fitness equipment only to see them later, not taking the product or the machine sits in the corner collecting dust.

I have studied fitness and nutrition most of my adult life (I am now 46) and I wish to write, in simple terms, what I’ve learned about fitness, nutrition and good health. I will cover such topics as:

• Healthy eating
• Stress and stress management
• Weight loss (what it actually takes)
• Supplements (what they will and will not do)
• Exercise

It is my wish that you will find the information here helpful to you and your understanding of your health. Please feel free to ask questions about general health issues. Send questions to me at: jwashburnceo@yahoo.com. I am not a doctor, so please do not take my advice as medical advice. If you have a specific condition you want to know more about, please ask your physician.

Sincerely,
Joe Washburn
