Cause and Effect Blog on Why people exercise

Exercising is very important and positive for a human’s body. People exercise for many reason. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or CDC, they recommend that all adults in the United States get at least 150 minutes of exercise every week to remain healthy. There are many types of work out programs available such as going to the gym, walking, biking, or even working out at home using DVD programs. Exercise intensity levels can vary depending on your overall fitness level, your reason for exercise and goals. For example, someone who is severely overweight may exercise to improve his health by shedding off pounds. Others may exercise for appearance reasons, such as gaining a certain muscle tone and other may exercise just to stay healthy as part of their diet.
One of the most noticeable effects of exercise is the physical changes that occur due to loss of body fat. As you exercise, your body burns calories. Exercising can make people look wonderful and feel amazing. Working out can lead to improving a person self esteem. Your clothes will fit better, hair and teeth will be stronger, and posture will be improved. Exercising also relieve stress and tension. When you exercise, your body produces “feel good” chemicals called, Endorphins that helps treat contributing factors to depression and anxiety per the American Council on Exercise.
Exercise also causes noticeable effects on your heart. When a person’s heart begins working because of exercising it pumps harder and faster. This leads to a better circulation for blood flow. Since the blood flow is increasing it causes more oxygen to be carried through the body resulting to lower blood pressure. In general, exercise is a great benefit of preventing heart disease.

Anyone can exercise, whether you are a baby, teenager, adult, or elder. Exercise can help anyone and it can be fun. Exercising has many great benefits as mention above and there are many more reasons. It’s a great health benefactor for your body, mind, and soul.

Why I Blog


“Why I blog,” by Andrew Sullivan was very interesting to read. First of all many people either knows about blogging or don’t. I had never really follow any blogging until recently this fall per our writing communication class. I agree with Andrew Sullivan “Blogging is to writing what extreme sports are to athletics: more free-form, more accident-prone, less formal, more alive. It is, in many ways, writing out loud.” There are many different types of bloggers, all with different agendas and motivation. In order to get the most from blogging it is important to understand why you are blogging. Without a clear understanding of why you need a blog it’s impossible to develop goals and guidelines to meet your blogging objective. It can also help to understand why other bloggers may be blogging. Here are a few blogs that I’ve come across what bloggers have blogged about: Political or Religious Blogs, Family or Social connections, Personal Journals, and Business and brand building. People write blogs as a way to express themselves and their knowledge or expertise. They are also used to educate people and as a leisure activity. Blogging has emerged as one of the unique and most promising career on the Internet. Other people write on blogs to offer good tips, advice and knowledge. People read blogs as a source of information or because they find the writer interesting. Per Sullivan, “The blog remained a superficial medium, of course. By superficial, I mean simply that blogging rewards brevity and immediacy. No one wants to read a 9,000 word treatise online. On the Web, one sentence links are as legitimate as thousand word diatribes- in fact, they are valued more.”

Process Analysis Draft - Basic Guideline to cleansing


Many of us have heard celebrities talked about cleansing their body and I’m sure several of us have wondered what it is and how to do it. Well, cleansing is a strategy that helps your body get rid of bad toxins. We’re exposed to harmful substances all the time ((pesticides, microbes, and mercury, to name a few) they’re in our diet, and every air that we breathe in (think disinfectants, deodorizers, and the gasses released by fresh paint). We as human being have an excellent system in place to handle those toxins: Enzymes throughout the body are continuously breaking them down and helping to flush them out. Think of it as the body is coming out of what might be called hibernation. It’s a way you can jump-start your body for a more active life, a healthier life.
I’m just going to provide you some guidelines when it comes to doing a diet or whole body cleansing. First step for cleansing is choosing what type of cleansing you want to do. A good rule of thumb for a thorough and effective body cleansing is to focus on what your expectations are and your individual health needs. There are various types of cleansing techniques and programs; some have been around for centuries, while others are new. Make sure to look closely at your choices and weigh the pros and cons of each and every option you are considering.
Afterwards, make sure to follow your instructed instructions according to your cleansing product. When you start an cleanse, you don’t have to go caffeine free but it is not a bad idea. Sweeteners and extra fats are not helpful during a cleanse so try to avoid them if all possible. Try substituting green tea for coffee, and most definitely stay away from sodas and alcohol. Drink plenty of water. Increasing your water intake is one of the most important things you can do when attempting to cleanse your body naturally. You should aim to drink at least 8 glasses or 2 quarts of water throughout the day.
Next, you want to think about your meal plans. Fiber is the number one nutrient for maintaining proper digestive function. Eating more fiber helps the body to rid itself of the toxins, preservatives, and other harmful waste materials. Increasing your fiber intake helps to cleanse your body by stimulating regular bowel movements, leaving you feeling light and healthy, rather than bloated and sluggish. Therefore, try having whole-grain cereals, pasta, rice, fresh fruits and vegetables. For your meat, do chicken, turkey, or fish.
Following, you want to get some exercise. Getting regular exercise is one of the healthiest, most natural ways to cleanse the body. It helps you lose weight, thus releasing the toxins that have built up in fat cells over the years. Exercise improves both circulation and digestion. Try to incorporate at least 30 minutes of exercise within a day. Any exercise will do, walking, biking, going up and down the stairs, or dancing.
These are just some general guidelines on doing body cleansing. If you follow these instructions you’ll feel healthier and happier in no time. How often you cleanse is an individual matter and it’s up to you. I would usually recommend doing a cleansed at least twice a year. Once during spring and once during the fall.
