2018 Is the Year to Get a Healthier Lifestyle
Lifestyle Changes 2018 is the year for us to get healthy. For many people, including myself, their New Year's resolution had something to do with health, losing weight, or dieting. Most people will start dieting and working out like crazy in the first couple weeks of a new year. When the proper way to stick with these lifestyle changes would be to simply ease yourself into it all.

It's that time of year again! (Groan...) But before you kickstart that redundant gym membership, here are some things my three years as a fitness instructor have taught me about taking care of your mind and body.

Laura's VocalPublished 6 years ago in LongevityWe Are Living Energy Beings!
We've all experienced those moments where we suddenly feel sad, angry, or confused for no apparent reason. Why is that so? Well, we are living energy, and as living energy beings, we have a frequency. Yes, frequency. Frequency is defined as the rate at which a vibration occurs that constitutes a wave. Some of us can display more frequency than others. Being sad or angry is an emotion and what is "emotion?" Emotion is "energy in motion" a wave, vibration, or a frequency. The stronger the emotion, the stronger the frequency you are vibrating out to the world. Chances are, someone is going to feel that frequency. They may even fall victim to it, depending on how strong your frequency is. We are all, literally, walking antennas and can pick up, absorb, and display this "energy in motion." Some can do this stronger than others. Those of us that absorb it more than others will find ourselves constantly changing moods wherever we go.

Buckle up folks. Yes, there are many healthy body types that are likely fine for most people. However, there’s a dangerous game that society has been playing and it goes by the name of “body positivity.”
Chris VanderburghPublished 6 years ago in LongevityDaily Mail Promotes Body Shaming
“Weight loss gallery shows slimmers’ beautiful features that were there all along.” This was posted today (Dec. 15) by The Daily Mail UK on Snapchat. Essentially, the “story” here is that all these people who have lost weight have discovered their “beautiful features” that were hidden beneath “excess padding.”
Faith for an S-Shaped Back
It's crazy to think how quickly something can change your life forever. The slightest thing can cause a huge impact… From either just carrying a heavy bag to doing sit-ups or walking with the wrong "technique." I never even thought about the implications of carrying a side bag instead of a backpack with all my books in (ones I sometimes didn’t even need for the day) in my bag for school EVERY DAY!

I don’t really know when food became my security blanket. Maybe I was born with it. But somehow, somewhere along the way food became my safe place. Happy? Eat a cheeseburger. Sad? Have a slice of cake.

In 1995, located somewhere in a bitter, wintry town in Illinois, a young couple and their 9 year old son were about to have their second child. Following a standard C- section procedure, their seemingly healthy baby girl was delivered on November 21st at 9:30 am. After what seemed like an eternity of silence, she finally busted into an uncontrollable cry while being cleaned off and examined by the pediatrician. As if by instinct, her mother spoke words of love and compassion; resulting in the infant going silent, looking in the direction of a very familiar voice. Just like all newborns, she had a hole in her heart; one of the doctors announced to the parents his desire to crack open their baby's chest to fix the hole. Utterly horrified, her father kicked him out of the room, looking at his new baby worried about her health. Now, at the time, what they didn't realize is that approximately 75% of the hearts of babies heal themselves on their own, while the other 25% live on with the hole, exchanging blood between the two chambers of their hearts; often never experiencing any health complications. And so, with their baby girl, they brought her home on Thanksgiving day and celebrated the creation of a new life!

As a person who has been getting tattoos for over nine years now, I have learned to work with the skin type that I have, which happens to be VERY sensitive. More often than not, after getting a tattoo, I experience difficult healing, something that was once daunting is now regimen for my at home after-tattoo care.
Mona LucidPublished 7 years ago in LongevityWhy I Don’t Hate My Fat Self
So let me start by saying that I am the girl, woman, and child in these photos. I am now a strong woman but at one time I was weak and childlike. I am 37 years old and I just decided to have gastric bypass surgery. I am writing this to be brutally honest about a choice of gastric bypass or sleeve surgery. So I have been heavy for as long as I can remember and I have been lying to myself for my whole life. In high school I was made fun of and picked on because in the 90s being fat wasn’t popular, it was one of the worst things in my mind anyone could do. It was hard because if you were a size 16 or over your choice of clothes were few and far between. So I always wore jeans that strangled my ankles and long T-shirts.

Typically, runners are told that they need a number of things to fix their injuries and make running more enjoyable. Whether that's a stability/neutral shoe, or an orthotic. Doctors, trainers and ill-informed running specialty stores will give loads of information to get you in what they believe is the "correction" your feet need. Then minimalist running came along. The hype first started in 2011 when Christopher McDougall's book, "Born to Run" hit the shelves. McDougall ventured into the Copper Canyons of Mexico and found the Tarahumara Indians, an indigenous tribe, that runs hundreds of miles, through the desert, hunting. All while barefoot or with some type of old tire strapped to their feet.
