I thought this was interesting for people to see. I have known for a while that room temperature water is better for you, but not to this extent.

Hi Everyone,

One of my favorite exercises is using the jump rope. It’s such an easy thing to do and you don’t need a fancy gym and you don’t even have to go somewhere. You can go on your driveway, sidewalk, walkway, street and even in your house. You can use it to complete HIIT workouts a few times a week and you will be amazed how great you feel and look.

“Jumping rope allows you get in a good cardio workout while also working on lower-body strength training.

You can make your legs burn, torch calories, and get all sweaty, just by using something you considered a toy as a kid, he points out.”

Believe me when I tell you it’s worth adding to your routine, and if you don’t have a routine. Start one with a simple jump rope.

I am going to post some simple workout routines you can use that will help you jumpstart your journey to feeling and looking better.

Check out this article:

It's an easy cardio routine to pick up, for starters.

Have you ever heard of a CHAFFLE?? I know it sounds strange but it’s a delicious life saver when on keto.

So if you can’t guess it here it is - chaffles (cheese waffles)

The word “chaffle” refers to a waffle made with just cheese and eggs. Basic Chaffles do not contain flour, baking powder or any other ingredients. The mixture of egg and cheese makes the perfect fluffy waffles that have a slightly crunchy and cheese exterior. This viral low-carb trend is super keto-friendly, super easy to make, and SUPER low in carbs so it makes the perfect keto bread.

I can tell you that I can eat these things all of the time and they are so versatile.

If you want a great recipe let me know and I will post one.

Other health benefits of KETO:

The ketogenic diet actually originated as a tool for treating neurological diseases such as epilepsy.

Studies have now shown that the diet can have benefits for a wide variety of different health conditions:

Heart disease. The ketogenic diet can help improve risk factors like body fat, HDL (good) cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and blood sugar.

Cancer. The diet is currently being explored as an additional treatment for cancer, because it may help slow tumor growth.

Alzheimer’s disease. The keto diet may help reduce symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and slow its progression.

Epilepsy. Research has shown that the ketogenic diet can cause significant reductions in seizures in epileptic children.

Parkinson’s disease. Although more research is needed, one study found that the diet helped improve symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.

Polycystic o***y syndrome. The ketogenic diet can help reduce insulin levels, which may play a key role in polycystic o***y syndrome.

Brain injuries. Some research suggests that the diet could improve outcomes of traumatic brain injuries.

I am working on putting together a small menu to offer healthy prepared meals. This will allow people to not have to worry about cooking and also over eating. Eating the right thing and the right amount is one of the biggest challenges when it comes to diets/lifestyle changes. Stay tuned!!

What Is Intermittent Fasting (IF)?

Intermittent fasting (IF) is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of fasting and eating.

It doesn’t specify which foods you should eat but rather when you should eat them.

In this respect, it’s not a diet in the conventional sense but more accurately described as an eating pattern.

Common intermittent fasting methods involve daily 16-hour fasts or fasting for 24 hours, twice per week.

Fasting has been a practice throughout human evolution. Ancient hunter-gatherers didn’t have supermarkets, refrigerators or food available year-round. Sometimes they couldn’t find anything to eat.

As a result, humans evolved to be able to function without food for extended periods of time.

In fact, fasting from time to time is more natural than always eating 3–4 (or more) meals per day.

Fasting is also often done for religious or spiritual reasons, including in Islam, Christianity, Judaism and Buddhism.

What is a Keto Diet?

A keto diet is one that limits carbs and has many potential health benefits.
When you eat far fewer carbs, your body begins to burn fat for fuel. This can put your body into a metabolic state called ketosis. In this state, your liver turns fat into small energy molecules called ketones, which your brain and other organs can use for energy.

Eating a keto diet lowers insulin levels, often dramatically, which can help you access your body fat stores for energy.

Many studies show significant weight loss on keto, without having to count calories.

Keto diets may have other positive health effects, such as reducing blood sugar levels.

This has been something I have been thinking about doing because people have always asked for advice on working out, eating right, keto, fasting, etc.. So this is my opportunity to do just that. I am here to provide a helping hand when it comes to learning to live a healthier lifestyle. We will focus on eating healthier, intermittent fasting, following a keto diet and working out. I have struggled with weight gain and know the challenge of staying on course and helping yourself stay on track. One of the biggest challenges is your mental health. Life throws a lot of curveballs and will sometimes place obstacles in your way. Some people just need that extra support to get them over the hump. I am here to help as much as I can.
