Remember the Presidential fitness test?

Remember the Presidential fitness test?
It is being talked about everywhere lately. As responsible adults we need to learn more and teach our kids leading by example. Get in control of your health and wellness, give your kids the gift of making good choices and give them healthy parents for many more years to come.
What is the Presidential Fitness Test? The original test was developed in 1966. It tested the physical abilities of children and provided a way for educators to track and motivate kids. The test we all know has been phased out in favor of a more comprehensive fitness initiative that stresses health-related fitness and personal progress over athletic prowess.
The original test provided a “friendly” competition and bragging rights among peers. By the end of testing we knew who could do the most chin ups or sit ups. It provided limited information on actual health and limited professional development to ensure teaches were using meaningful way to provide feedback to students.
What is the current Assessment? It is a more comprehensive tool. The information collected helps to reach new health goals specific to the individual and promotes healthy lifestyles.
The assessment measures these components:
- Aerobic capacity
- Body composition (measures body fat)
- Muscular strength
- Muscular endurance
- Flexibility
Knowing the above can lower the risk of high blood pressure, diabetes and back pain. We all want to look good, feel good and fight the aging process. Know your numbers.
Are you interested in getting tested? Get your fitness test done with Dr. Gina! She will provide a pre-participation screening that indicates if you are at risk for cardiovascular events during the exercise challenge. She will assess all of the components listed above and make recommendations. She will provide safe, effective and efficient options to get started on a better way of living.
Let Dr. Gina motivate you. Take advantage of 50% off of the $85 exam! This offer is complete with results and recommendations. Purchase your certificate this month and use it when you are ready. No expiration!
You have to know where you are to know where you are heading and have the knowledge to know how to get there.
Let Dr. Gina help you.

Joy helps Dr. Gina, you should see the picture.

Dr. Gina here. This is a photo of my back after a session with Joy. No she didn’t beat me. She performed cupping which is a technique to help rid my body of toxins. I had no voice yesterday after a day of coughing. She used 5 cups during treatment and notice only 2 show bruising. Those are directly related to my symptoms. The areas bruise as a result of the toxins being released. How cool is that? Guess what? Today I can speak and my coughing is about 80-90% better. I’m so lucky to have her as a part of my team.

10 negatives to sugar:
1: Sugar can speed the aging process, causing wrinkles and gray hair.
2: Sugar can suppress the immune system weakening your defense to infection.
3: Sugar can upset the body’s mineral balance, interfering with absorption of calcium and magnesium, contributing to osteoporosis.
4: Sugar can produce a significant rise in triglycerides, reduce helpful high-density cholesterol (HDLs), promote elevation of harmful cholesterol (LDLs) and increase total cholesterol.
5: Sugar increases acidity which means cells are not using oxygen efficiently; supporting cancer cells, fungal conditions and encourage inflammation.
6: Sugar will also bring about calcium deposition in the arteries, joints and soft tissues.
7: Sugar can cause headaches, including migraines.
8: Sugar can cause hormonal imbalance.
9: Sugar can cause ischemic heart disease, cause hypertension,increase the risk of coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease.
10: Sugar can cause an increase in delta, alpha and theta brain waves, which can alter the
mind’s ability to think clearly and cause depression.
10 Tips for Reducing Sugar in Your Diet:
1: Cut back on the amount of sugar added to things you eat or drink regularly
2: Buy sugar-free or low-calorie beverages
3: Buy fresh fruits or fruits canned in water or natural juice
4: Instead of adding sugar to cereal or oatmeal, add fresh fruit
5: When baking cookies, brownies or cakes, cut the sugar called for by 1/3 to 1/2
6: Instead of adding sugar in recipes, use extracts such as almond, vanilla, orange or lemon
7: Enhance foods with spices instead of sugar; try ginger, allspice, cinnamon or nutmeg
8: Substitute unsweetened applesauce for sugar in recipes (use equal amounts)
9: Try non-nutritive sweeteners such as aspartame, sucralose or saccharin in moderation.
10: Avoid pre-packaged foods
Bonus material:
Sugar names: Look for “ose,” such as maltose or sucrose, other names for sugar include high fructose corn syrup, molasses, cane sugar, corn sweetener, raw sugar, syrup, honey or fruit juice concentrates.
Recommended daily value: Women, no more than 100 calories/day (6 tsp of sugar) and men, no more than 150 calories/day (9 tsp).
When reading the nutrition label the line for sugar includes all sugars. There are 4 calories in each gram (15 grams = 60 calories).
