CORE
EXERCISES
The
significant benefits of Core Exercises follow through to whatever you are involved
in, because the area around your trunk and pelvis is where your center of gravity
is located.
Some
of the benefits of Core Exercises are:
- Better
posture
- Better
shape
- Improved
fitness performance
- Injury
prevention and rehabilitation
- Increased
protection and stability for your back
- Increased
performance for sports movements
When
you have good core stability, the muscles in your pelvis, lower back, hips and
abdomen work in harmony. They provide support to your spine and help transmit
increased power and performance for just about any activity.
CORE
HYDRATION
Achieving
optimal health and fitness means including plenty of nutrients and water in your
daily regimen. Choose Core Hydration for optimal body hydration,
since your total body weight is about two-thirds water and it is vital for all
chemical reactions in the body.
Some of the benefits of Core Hydration
are:
- Prevents
hyponatremia - low blood sodium levels.
- Prevents
respiratory distress and ultimately death.
- Improved
fitness performance
- Decreased
infections (e.g., urinary tract infections)
- Lowered
urinary pH
- Decreased
constipation
- Decreased
acute confusion and disorientation
- Increased
performance for sports movements
The
basic rules of survival are that many people can survive for weeks without food,
but they can only live a few days without fluids.

NUTRITION
Do you know what to eat? Suggestions on what and how much to eat can be confusing,
especially when faced with varied and conflicting nutritional advice.

in saturated fat -- better for the heart

iron -- better for muscles and blood
- More
zinc -- better healing and fighting infection
- Organic
meats and fish -- stay lean
- More
vitamin A -- better vision
- More
calcium --
stronger bones and teeth
Core
Nutrition helps to promote the 3 basic rules for a healthy diet: variety, balance,
moderation
Variety
means that you must include many different foods from each level of the Food Pyramid
because no single food can supply all of the nutrients that your growing body
needs on a daily basis. This can help to expand your food choices. It is best
to eat foods of all colors. The more colors and textures in your daily meals,
the better range of nutrients you'll get. Balance
means that you must eat the right amounts of foods from all levels of the Food
Pyramid each day. This way you will get all the calories and nutrients you need
for proper growth and development. Moderation means that you are careful
not to eat too much of any one type of food.
CORE
ENERGY
The
energy of your body will not be balanced and free-flowing if you do not have good
emotional balance, good physical health,and good relationships with your environment
and yourself. There
are three primary components that make up your body's energy expenditure:
-
Physical Energy: Physical activity has a profound effect on human energy expenditure
and contributes 20-30% to the body's total energy output
-
Metabolic Energy: Most of the body's energy, about 60-70%, goes to supporting
the ongoing metabolic work of the body's cells. This includes such activities
as heart beat, respiration and maintaining body temperature.
- Thermal
Effect of Food: The last component to calculate has to do with your body's management
of food.
Understanding
your body's energy requirements can help guide you when making nutritional choices.
