Keys to Fitness: Anti Cancer Foods

Introduction

Hello Everyone!!

Firstly let's get the excuse of being "too old" to get in shape out of the way.
For me my birthday is just a date on a calender as i have competed for over a decade against competitors half my age. How you might ask? By having the knowledge of how the body functions and just as importantly how to get the most out of your workouts, i will pass on my wisdom & tips to you my fellow bloggers and followers.

The "Key"(s) to exercise is having a variety. First not allowing the task to become boring and/or cumbersome as you must keep the brain guessing thus eliminating the plateau effect. Also when changes are not immediate one tends to become frustrated and feels like quitting, so we are going to change this with the blog to keep the routines far from boring and productive.

Secondly i will pass on knowledge regarding nutrition and water which is critical. You can work out all you want but remember what you do during exercise is tearing down the muscle and if you don't repair and hydrate you are just wasting your time, this aspect is probably 60%+ of the equation to a healthy body

Within the continuation of this blog, I will show you how to improve your health, change your shape and improve your game.... from the serious athlete to the weekend warrior. There will be video's of weight bearing exercises per body part and routines that everyone can fit in to their schedule and lifestyle no matter how hectic it is.

And remember, there is no point in having an empire if you are not around to enjoy it. Your body is a temple!

Yours in Fitness,

Anti Cancer Foods

Ok, a small recap..... remember we have to choose the foods that work for your body ( yes I'm saying not to follow the food guide) again four or five small meals spread 2 1/2 hrs apart and drink the recommended water intake. You now know how to determine calories and your daily intake and not to go below that level or your brain will ramp down the metabolism. Also at the beginning we talked about building up our defenses for everyday cancer causing carcinogens.
With that in mind here is a list of some anti-cancer foods for everyone to improve those odds…

All Berries
Whole Wheat
Tomatoes
Red Cabbage
Beets
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Kale
Spinach

Garlic
Oranges
Yellow & Orange veggies
Red Grapes
Dark Cherries

For the female Bloggers, foods to help prevent Breast Cancer:
