For some, eating healthier isn’t always easy. Substituting healthier items in meals that are regularly unhealthy has gotten pretty popular but there are those that still feel the idea of a ‘Tofu Burger” isn’t very appealing.

Osteoporosis, which literally means porous bone, is a disease in which the density and quality of bone are reduced. As bones become more porous and fragile, the risk of fracture is greatly increased. The loss of bone occurs silently and progressively. Often there are no symptoms until the first fracture occurs.

For women, bone health begins at a young age. A woman acquires about 85 to 90 percent of her bone mass during childhood and adolescence. By age 18, her bones are completely done forming. If there is not enough calcium deposited in her bones during childhood, they may become weak later in life, leading to bone disease such as osteoporosis. Fragile bones easily fracture or break, especially in the hip, spine and wrist.

Sweating is very cleansing for your body.

When you sweat, your body undergoes a series of processes that allow for the release of toxins and an increase in metabolism.

To optimize metabolism, energy, and mental and emotional positivity, set a goal to eat five small meals per day — do NOT skip meals! Sometimes you will feel like you don’t have the time or the energy to put anything together, but this is critical to your success. Your body and your metabolism are designed to look for cues telling them when to burn and when to conserve. If you miss a meal your body does what it is programmed to do — stop burning. Ideally, the five meals include breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch, mid-afternoon snack and dinner.
