BEAUFORT HEALTH AND FITNESS: EXERCISE, EAT RIGHT TO BEAT CANCER RISK
As so many of us are trying to adapt a healthier lifestyle in the New Year, the American Cancer Society (ACS) is providing, with its newly updated set of recommendations, helpful tips on keeping cancer at bay.
The guidelines, released focus on the importance of regular physical activity like Beaufort health and fitness programs, nutrition, and tobacco-free life – the second leading cause of death in the United States – in preventing cancer,
While certain kinds of cancer have hereditary ties, often they are attributed to unhealthy lifestyle. According to ACS, each year one-third of all cancer deaths in this country are caused by poor diet and lack of exercise, and another third is linked to tobacco use – both smoking and chewing. It’s true that in some cases of cancer, genetics may play a role, but much too often, bad habits are to blame says Beaufort fitness experts. It is well known that inactivity, sedentary lifestyle, and unhealthy diet can contribute not only to many forms of cancer, but also to other preventable illnesses like heart disease, obesity, and Type II diabetes.
To lower cancer risk, the ACS recommends not smoking, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, and eating a low-fat, high-fiber diet that includes at least 2½ cups of fruits and vegetables every day, as well as whole grains instead of refined grain products. Consumption of red and processed meat, as well as alcohol, should be limited, the ACS says.
How can a Beaufort health and fitness program help keep cancer at bay?
- Exercise boosts the immune system so it is more resistant to various diseases. It may also alter levels of certain hormones that feed the growth and spread of tumors.
- Beaufort health and fitness activity along with a calorie-restricted diet prevents obesity, a major risk factor for many types of cancer. ACS reports that doctors are seeing more patients with cancers linked to obesity, including pancreatic, esophageal, stomach, liver and kidney cancers.
In fact, the American Institute for Cancer Research estimated in 2009 that over 100,000 cases of cancer cases diagnosed in this country each year are caused by excess body fat. And the figures have not improved since then – according to a recent article by USA Today. These are other examples of a huge impact our lifestyle choices can have on our health and longevity.
To maximize and maintain Beaufort weight loss, Beaufort personal trainers and Beaufort fitness experts recommend fat reducing workouts like interval training in combination with fat burning, strength-boosting exercises.
Interval training is very effective, with the added bonus that it continues to burn fat and calories for up to 24 to 36 hours after the workout is finished. As for strength training, while it may not burn as many calories that you can use calorie counters to monitor during the session, it does boost the overall calorie expenditure and builds lean muscle which is a huge metabolism booster, not to mention all the other health benefits, such a stronger body, joints and bones.
What it all comes down to is that combining Beaufort health and fitness activity may very well reduce our lifetime risk of developing or dying from cancer.
Your Belief Create Your Health, Wealth and Prosperity
“Hey! What’s going on? Here it’s Ian Hart at EarthFIT Blog and today I am going to talk to you about the #1 thing that is going to prevent or create your goals or getting the result that you are looking for in life.
That #1 thing has to do with your Beliefs. You can actually go further beyond that what, how are your beliefs formed but basically your beliefs lead to your Thoughts. Your thoughts create your Feelings and your feelings lead to an Action and create a Result. But the important part here is your Thoughts. When you have a thought, it creates a feeling so you think “Ugh.. Today sucks!” or “Today’s great!” that releases chemicals and those chemicals when released are attached to your cells, they send chemicals from the brain, they attach to your cells and those feelings that you have lead to a specific action. So when those chemicals are released, they can send pain signals, they can lead to a thought of you being poor or never having money – and that is a belief that led to a feeling – or feeling unhealthy, overweight or feeling misery or you can have the opposite reaction which is feeling good, feeling like you are going to be rich and wealthy, healthy, happy or in good shape.
So obviously what we want to do to get the result we want is break down our belief patterns. So if we have a belief that is not benefitting us we need to reprogram ourselves so we can get the end result. So changing our beliefs so we have different thoughts. So what I want you to do is right now,
anytime you have a negative belief or negative thought what you could do is wrap rubber band around your arm and every time you have a negative thought or thought that is not positive for your life or for the direction that you want to go in, I want you to just snap the rubber band and that is just to remind you and give you bio-feedback as to how you need to change your thoughts and your belief.
So let’s think about what can be something that is not a good thought like “Oh! you know I can’t do that, I’m not going good enough to get that result, I’m not good enough to have that car, I’m not good enough…” Those thought patterns anytime you talk to yourself that way, snap the rubber band and tell yourself “You know what I can have that or I can do that.” And once you start to believe it then you have different thoughts, then you have different feelings, then you take different action and then you have a different result. So remember, beliefs need to be changed first, so I want you to start that simple thing just by snapping that rubber band anytime you have any negative belief, any negative thought pattern and change it to a positive. So turn the negative to a positive and your life will change into a positive.
So this is Ian Hart of EarthFIT blog on I’m telling you how to get results by changing your beliefs.”

BEAUFORT PERSONAL TRAINER: IN 2013, WORK OUT THE KINKS IN EXERCISE MYTHS
It’s a New Year and your #1 resolution is to start a regular exercise or a Beaufort health and fitness routine. And this time you’re serious, motivated and committed. Congratulations – you made a very wise decision!
However, if you’re new to the world of fitness, you may be swayed by some false ideas about exercise.
There are a lot of misconceptions out there that have to be debunked and clarified, says Beaufort personal trainers. The more people are informed before they start working out, the more benefit they will be able to get from their regimen.
Some of the commonly held myths about exercise that Beaufort personal trainers says have no merit are:
- Any exercise is good.“Actually, no. There are some moves that can definitely harm you. For example, if not done properly, the lat pull-down behind the head can cause serious injury to your shoulders or vertebrae. The list of potentially dangerous (and often useless) exercises is long. Again, ask your Beaufort health and fitness professional or a Beaufort personal trainer for safer and more effective alternatives.”
- “No Pain No Gain:”Absolutely not true, Beaufort fitness experts says. “While you might feel a burn in the belly of the muscle if you are training hard, you should not be feeling pain in any of your joints. You may experience some soreness and minor aches when you first start working out. But the way to minimize this is to gradually increase intensity over time. Your exercise program should take off more like a plane than a rocket. The key is to start gradually. If you’re in a lot of pain or discomfort, you may have injured yourself. Maybe you did start exercising too abruptly, without a proper warm-up. Or perhaps you’re not doing the exercises correctly. In either case, ask a Beaufort personal trainer to show you how to work out safely and effectively. Remember: Often, pain is your body’s way of telling you something is wrong.”
- Exercise alone will make me lose weight quickly. “Exercise is very effective in Beaufort weight loss IF it goes hand-in-hand with sensible eating. But if you don’t pay attention to your calorie intake, it will be difficult – for most people – to achieve enduring weight loss through exercise alone. Remember: while exercising will burn a significant number of calories, a weight loss will occur only if you don’t replenish those calories in between workouts. Combining exercise with eating in a way that supports your metabolism, on the other hand, will give you the results you want.”
- Toning sneakers will burn more calories than “regular” athletic footwear. “That’s what all the ads would have you believe. However, the American Council on Exercise says there is no evidence to suggest that these expensive shoes will help you firm up butts, legs and calves. In fact, sports experts say that this footwear has special design features such as rounded soles, which may cause people with balance problems to fall down while walking or running.”
These are just some of the myths you should be aware of. There are many more. Again: this is where a Beaufort personal trainer can put you on the right track – no pun intended.
All Personal Trainers At EarthFIT Beaufort are CSCS certified (Strength and Conditioning Specialist)
In the professional world you typically see letters after an individuals name. The letter signifies a distinction, certification, schooling, etc.
When it comes to personal training there are only a few letters that really count. The reason being, is that the personal training industry is unregulated. Someone can tell you they are a certified personal trainer but it means absolutely nothing because 1) they could have gotten that cert online or over the weekend with little effort; 2) They can have absolutely no experience. So at EarthFIT I decided to self regulate by only allowing people with highest level of education, experience, and of course, certification train our clients. Each trainer must garner the best the industry has to offer, the CSCS or Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist certification.
Before I explain to you the significance on the CSCS certification please join me in congratulating Jeff Conover, Maxine Langford and Khadine Clifford in obtaining this certification over the Holidays. Being that you train at EarthFIT, you can be proud that everyone on staff has the highest distinction in certification when it comes to coaching and personal training.
Now, since most people don’t understand what the CSCS really means, allow me to convey this certification to the layman, compared to the rest in the sea of certs that laden our industry (and sometimes give it a bad name). There are numerous certifications in our industry that Joe Shmo can get without having a high school diploma or any personal training experience. Someone can literally study for a couple days or weeks, take a test, and then call himself a personal trainer. Imagine if any other profession was like that, accounting, Law, Medical, Engineering, Architecture, it would be fair to say that life would be more complicated… When it comes to the CSCS, before you can even qualify for the test you must have at minimum a 4-year degree from an accredited college. This prerequisite eliminates every other certification in the industry except 1, which caters more towards rehab than personal training. On top of that, it is the only fitness certification that you will typically see directly after a PhD distinction. Meaning that it is the only certification that holds weight or respect in the academic world because of its in-depth sciences and difficulty in passing when it comes to strength and conditioning and personal training. I will spare you all the details but you can rest assured that you are in the best hands when it comes to quality, education, experience – and let’s not forget attitude – when you work with any personal trainer at EarthFIT.
Again, please join me in congratulating these 3 Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists by leaving a comment below this blog post.
