Q: What is The Daniel Plan?

A: The Daniel Plan is a book written by Pastor Rick Warren, Dr. Mark Hyman, and Dr. Daniel Amen that will completely change your view on food, health, and exercise. During the first trial of this plan, 15,000 people lost over 250,000 pounds collectively. People from over 190 countries joined in the movement online. [1]

I’m not kidding. This book is the real deal! If you’re serious about stepping up your health game, this book is the only tool you’ll need to do so.

How The Daniel Plan Changed My Life

When I bought The Daniel Plan, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I thought this book was just another health book, but as soon as I began reading it, I knew it was different. I was completely sucked in and could not put this book down.

It all started with Pastor Warren. He had become overweight and realized that he wasn’t being the best role model he could be. Through conviction, he announced to his congregation that he was making a change in his personal health. To his surprise, many church members supported him and signed up to take the journey with him.

Tens of thousands of people have had their lives transformed and yours can be one of them too!

This book has taught me how to read a nutrition label, the dangers of eating processed food, the beauty of eating natural foods and enlightened me to the food industries dangerous tactics. There are many foods that I’ve stopped eating because I’m worth preserving my health.

For example, my family simply does not partake in fast food anymore. I know, crazy right? Once you know what is in these foods, I guarantee you’ll think twice about spending your hard earned cash on these disease ridden foods. After all, the truth will set you free.

Importance of Stretching: How Stretching Daily Can Change Your Life & Your Health!

Importance Of Stretching

There are so many reasons for the importance of stretching, but people don’t seem to rave over it that much. I understand that people doing yoga may stretch more than the average person, but the average person still needs to do their own stretches. Yes, that means you. I guarantee you’ll feel a lot better once you incorporate stretches into your daily life.

Stretching allows the body to warm up for the day. Have you noticed the first thing animals do when they awaken? They stretch! From their head to their toes, they make sure to extend every muscle. How about babies? Have you notices babies stretch the second they open their eyes? It’s not a coincidence that toddlers rarely ever experience cramps. Preparing your muscles beforehand helps keep them strong and healthy!

Unfortunately, people don’t understand how necessary it is for a healthy lifestyle. Many people feel older than what they truly are. The chances of pulling a muscle, straining something, or damaging tissues increase if you do not stretch. (Pretty scary, huh?)Most people stop participating in physical activity after high school, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Once we become active again, our bodies will adapt and become strong. Since there are many benefits of stretching daily, why not get started today?

Lose Weight Without Exercising By Removing These Foods From Your Diet

October 25, 2018May 23, 2019 - Ariel Shanelle 3 Comments

Weight loss can be confusing and difficult when you don’t know where to begin. There are so many diets that exist. Health experts teach various things and leave us questioning which one to follow. To be honest, losing weight is not rocket science. You can lose weight without exercise by changing around your diet.

Think of your body as a vehicle. Cars can’t function properly without oil, gas, antifreeze, etc. Likewise, our bodies function differently depending on what we put in our bodies. For example, lack of fiber can lead to constipation and lack of iron leads to anemia. Both of these symptoms come from the foods we eat! You only get one body in this lifetime. Please take care of it.

Although exercise is important and shouldn’t be neglected, I’m going to show you foods you can remove from your diet to lose fat without exercising.
