Activity

Exercise’ Feel Good Hormones

• Endorphine Enkephalin• Serotonin Oxytocin

-done in 30-60minutes

-lasts for hours!!!!

Why not just take a Hike!?

• Most people believe exercise = sweating• ACSM says 1-3% of Americans are Weekend Warriors• Is being a W.W. better than nothing?

-not if you are injured

So you wanna sweat?

• Back packs• Weight vest• Walking Sticks• Elevation change• Speed

• How about Activity and Thinking together• Benefits of relaxation = exercise for disease

modification• Markers of inflammation (oxidative stress)• Working the lungs/heart with breath will

prepare you for vigorous workout later

The Anti Inflammatory Diet

The Anti Inflammatory Lifestyle

Thinking

• Americans aren’t taught to meditate • Slow down/pay attention• Practice Practice Practice • Calendar daisy chain to “going deep”

The Plan

• 10 minutes twice a day for 21 days• Google Earth -Your Town -Look for green

unplug

• When you make 21 days, prepare for the next level…..(find a course, coach, counselor)

Eating

• Mostly plant based, whole food diet Green is obvious/Fiber is not Fat Zebra? Catch the Rainbow EWG By thinking Plant, you will avoid Processed

Nature at its best

• Smell (olfactory sense is one of the fastest stimulators)

• Sight (the speed of nature slows the brain)• Sound (birds, waves, crickets, rain, wind)• Feel (soft trail, leaves, snow, gravel, twigs)• Taste (low glycemic index foods)
