NUTRITION

Essential Fatty Acids are important for weight loss, memory, muscle gain, joint support and so many  more vital body functions! Since most people don't get enough EFAs, it's a supplement you may want to consider! In this podcast,  I try to narrow down some of the scores of information out there on EFAs, such as Udo's Oil High Lignan 3-6-9 Blend.
Here are some of the highlights:

What are EFAs?

• EFAs cannot be made by the body, thus must be supplied through the diet
• Two basic categories of EFA's: Omega-3 and Omega-6
• EFAs are the good, "fitness" fats ans are unsaturated

What can they do for you?

• can improve skin and hair
• reduce blood pressure
• aid in prevention of arthritis
• lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels and reduce risk of blood clot formation. 
• EFAs are essential for rebuilding and producing new cells.

How do you use EFAs?

• best dosages for health are 1-3 grams, and up to 5g/day. 
• Check with your doctor before beginning any new supplement, s some medications can have negative interactions with EFAs.  
• Take EFAs throughout the day, liquid form is better than the pill form
• It is beneficial to rotate/change your source of EFAs every 10 days ie- change brands since many are vary in ratios.

EXERCISE

Get Fit TV: Video instruction of one of my favorite times saver combinations: squats and shoulder press!

MOTIVATION

Daily Goals: sometimes reaching a goal is much easier in little pieces. From my twitter daily motivations: Set a goal for yourself each day. Many little accomplishments add up to a big result!  Having a small or simple daily goal can provide the motivation you need to stick to your long term plan. Examples:

• walk 5 minutes more on the treadmill 
• do 10 chair squats at my desk before lunch
• drink 1 glass of water 30 minutes b/f dinner or lunch
