Technology is good for the environment...bad for the waistline?

Did you know that on average Americans spend at least 8 hours in front of a screen of some sort?  I'm just as guilty.

Compared to 2003, this rate is growing rapidly and it's among not just youngsters but seniors also.

Think about how much Online Shopping you do?  Not having to drive your car or leave your home is freaking awesome.

How many hours do you spend looking at a screen everyday?

Yes, it's convenient to shop online except the fact that people are moving less.  We barely have to get in our cars to drive let alone leave our homes and laziness becomes a way of life to jest early press a button.

We barely communicate to get to know our community or neighbors anymore like I feel people were back when there was no social media, which I feel like also disconnects us to rely on social media all because our lives are consumed looking at a screen.

Adults ages 18-24 spend 70% more time at home compared to when adults ages 18-24 in 2003!

When you sit and are sedentary that much, you can guess that the body isn't moving at the normal way it should be and well, yea...weight gain, poor posture, laziness are just a few of the issues that happen because of this result.


Technology may be good for the environment because were not having to drive anywhere anymore, but, ultimately it is also bad for the waistline.  Don't forget to take as many steps as you can by grocery shopping and parking further away.  Participate in a weekly activity that has some type of vigorous activity to it and remember to just turn off that screen and go outside.

Let me help you balance your life away from the screen and more on your waistline!

What is Whey and Caesin Protein? Dairy protein supplements best selling 2 source of protein powders on the market. How do these powerhouses compare?  Both are complete proteins with amino acids and easily digested by 97% in the body.  Both are extremely popular but don’t share the same benefits. Whey-  their digestion faster rate to reach amino acids higher and reach blood faster Caesin-with a curdling effect is slower up to 8 hours in the body and slowly digested. Lucien is a amino binding syntheses and has more immediate to the body with whey and spikes blood sugars higher but Caesin carries more protein syntheses is also leaves the blood elevated up to 36 hours which releases less Lucien levels than whey.

What’s Your Mandala Look Like?

What would your Mandala look like?    What colors and shapes would you choose?  How would it represent you? Color therapy is real. It’s defined as Chromotherapy. But let’s go into details about what a Mandala is and how it defines and represents you. A mandala is an integrated structure organized around a unified center.  From the classical Indian word “Sanskrit” And loosely translated to mean “Circle” but a mandala is far more than just a circle.  It represents wholeness, and can be seen as a organize structure to represent the meaning of life.  A mandala diagrams the infinite meaning into our soul and representatives a dream into our being both in this world and past that to what we cannot see.

I got offered a position at KSHP Radio!

Image
Since I have not been on social media for 3 days I have been thinking about all the online work I used to do in radio as a VOA and Radio Broadcaster.   I really enjoyed the face to face connections I did back at KLAV1230am and VANR Online and the relationships part is what I hold very dear to my heart.  Since my family is in Ca and I don't have kids, my family tends to be the people I spend the most of my time with in and out of the gym.  This part of finding my true career path has lead me to where I am today but I still know that with my time and energy that there is more for me to pursue to making more of an income.  So, today as I was driving down Jones heading to my chiropractor at Canyon Lake Neck and Back, I passed by KLAV, an old radio station I was training at years ago and had a thought that I should stop in and say hi.  Overtime I've driven by there on my way for my back adjustment and something tells me to go back in there, so today I did....
