Exercise for a Younger Heart!

Exercising regularly can protect/reverse cardiac

disease and improve your quality of life.

Your heart becomes less stiff and it provides

adequate flow without increasing your blood

pressure thus not overworking itself.

When your heart works better, you can perform

better not just physically. You can start at any

age and you will reap the benefits.

Moderate to high intensity aerobic exercise for

at least 3 days a week is what will do the trick.

Wellness is a lifetime commitment! Be

consistent!

Eat Better

Live Better Being Present

“Mindfulness is awareness that arises from pay-ing attention on purpose to the present moment, nonjudgmentally, so you begin to notice how insanely judgmental we are.”

Jon Kabat-Zinn

How many of us live life in the past or the fu-ture instead of the present? How many of us are so judgmental of ourselves and of others?

Let’s learn to live in the present and reap the benefits of mindfulness:

Reduces stress, anxiety and other destructive emotions.

Increases sense of well-being

Reduces compulsive/addictive tendencies

Sharpens your memory

Improves health and boosts immunity

Improves your emotional/social intelligence

Develops yours empathy and compassions

Make every day count. Live the present!

meat alternative.

4 x 4 interval training

¡Haz ejercicio para un corazón más joven!

El hacer ejercicio regularmente puede proteger/ revertir la enfermedad cardíaca y mejorar su calidad de vida. Su corazón se vuelve menos rígido y proporciona un flujo adecuado sin aumentar su presión arterial, por lo que no se sobrecarga. Cuando su corazón funciona mejor, puede funcionar mejor (físicamente, mentalmente, y emocionalmente). El ejercicio aeróbico de intensidad moderada a alta por lo menos 3 días a la semana es lo que proporciona mejores resultados. ¡El bienestar es un compromiso de por vida! ¡Sea consistente!
