Do you know that three simple lifestyle changes will improve your quality of life? Many of us don't realize what those changes are, and still many more that do know lack the motivation to consistently apply those changes. Obesity rates in America are higher than ever and impact healthcare costs. The standard American diet (SAD), starch-dominated and loaded with salt and sugar, places most Americans on a consumption cycle that leads to greater cravings even as the number of calories skyrockets. Sugar in the blood is actually toxic, and the body uses insulin to control it. But that leads to more hunger, and the cycle repeats. Combined with the labor-saving devices of modern society, and our increasingly sedentary lifestyle, that sugar has no where to go but in our storage system: body fat. But there's hope. Movement improves your brain functions, joints, and digestion. Consistent activity can help stabilize blood sugar levels, and reduce the insulin cycle that stores energy as fat. Would you like to feel better in every aspect of your life? Would you like to feel younger, look better, and live longer? You probably know what you should be doing to take care of yourself, but so many fad diets use gimmicks that they forgo lasting change. Meanwhile, the onslaught of fast food, processed meals, and a rush-around lifestyle make it difficult to sustain the benefits. Still you probably want to be fitter, trimmer, and sleep better, all of which are the result of a healthier lifestyle. Tom Matt has spent the past two years interviewing experts for his motivational fitness show, "Boomers Rock," and is presenting those findings in his new book, "Maximize Your Quality of Life, The 200% Solution." In his uniquely accessible manner and fired-up enthusiasm, Tom shares his own lessons learned the hard way with the expert knowledge about health, nutrition, and fitness. This convenient volume packs an amazing amount of information, carefully edited to be immediately useful.
