What is a personal trainer? A personal trainer is someone who specializes in exercise and nutrition and could help give you a better body this summer. Many of us need motivation. How many mornings have you woken up saying “this is it, today is the day, I’m going to start an exercise routine and stick to it” but then throughout the day, that thought is gone and we end up doing nothing.

A personal trainer can no t only help motivate you; they can show you different personalize exercises that will give you the perfect body. Nowadays you can hire a personal trainer to come to your home with the intention of waking up your body and putting in gear your motivation.

Everyday I find a new technology that promises to help us in one way of another and each one is just stranger and more odd than the next. For example, I introduce you the BOD POD, a capsule that looks more like a mini space ship. Bod Pod, helps measure your body composition to determine your fat and lean mass.

If you weight yourself on a regular old scale you will only obtain your weight in number but a scale can´t tell the difference between fat and muscle pounds. You could be gaining fat and losing muscle but still have the same weight. Bod Pod, helps determine what percentage of fat you have and what risks you run of getting diseases such as diabetes, heart disease or even cancer.

You could buy this contraption and use it at home, but for the $42,000 it costs and the bulkiness, I think you might be better of going to a professional who owns this machine and could guide you to a new you.

With each season we start to realize how fast time passes by us leaving us older and making us think of our youth. I don´t know if I´m the only person who thinks about this and I´m sure I´m not. Many of us try to make a change around the same time the seasons are changing because it just seems natural.

So before summer gets here completely why not go to an antiaging clinic where they can help us prepare a health plan to we could enjoy future seasons. La Clinique de Paris located in Alicante, is one of the best in Spain, and they offer you everything you need to start a new season and a future full of vitality and happiness.

Today I read an article in the newspaper that stated that doctors are diagnosing more and more cases of orthorexia every day. What is Orthorexia?

Wikipedia describes it as a term coined by Dr. Steven Bratman, a Colorado MD, to denote an eating disorder characterized by a fixation on eating what the sufferer considers to be healthful food, which can ultimately lead to early death.

Food obsession and too much health obsession can affect all of us. I admit I have a couple of the signs of this disorder, I worry about what I eat and I feel very guilty when I indulge in things I know are not good for me. But at the end of the day I feel very good about myself and I know if I live a healthy life in moderation that is all that matters.

So if you find yourself obsessing about this post, relax and trust yourself, use your intuition and live life to the fullest without going overboard with the healthy stuff.

Well, if you haven´t heard about this fruit yet, it´s time you track it down and try it. It looks very much like cherries but they are a little softer and have a more citrus taste. They are native to South America, Central America and the Caribbean.

This fruit is different from the rest because it is said to contain more than 65% more vitamin C than an orange. It also contains vitamins B1, B2, niacin, and potassium among other nutrients. How can such a little thing be so potent? In many parts of the world acerolas are used as anti inflammatory, astringents, fungecide and much, much more.

Ask your local grocer where you can get some and start to enjoy the benefits today.

Imagine that after your long search for the perfect diet someone tells you all you need to do in find our what your blood type is and follow the new blood type diet, eating foods that correspond to your individual group.

Peter D´Adano a doctor recognized as the leader investigator in this field, has determined that each blood type group needs to eat certain foods that correlate to their particular group.

Group O (there I´m) is said to be the oldest group around, these individuals should eat plenty or red meat and avoid bread, group A are called vegetarians, they should avoid red met but enjoy fruits and vegetables, Dairy is the chosen food for group B who are called omnivorous, and finally group AB who have a combination of A and B and go by the name of modern omnivorous should limit their chicken intake.

I find this all very interesting and think it doesn´t hurt to try.
