Gym ball - definitely recommend!

For some time I have been watching the exercises of our participants with using the gym ball.
They seemed to me very simple, even I had the impression that they can do little, so I decided to find out about the properties of the ball.
Well, I must admit that the exercises with the ball are not so easy!
The first thing you need to learn is to maintain a balance. Easy control over the ball starts the muscles of whose existence we have forgotten since we stopped being children. The gym ball allows to perform exercises of every part of the body: exercise the arms, legs, buttocks, abdomen and waist.
The ball has also a great influence on the correction of faulty posture by strengthening back and abdominal muscles. Exercises performed on the ball, stretching the whole body and let us relax. An important advantage of the ball is its low price and ability to perform exercises at home. I highly recommend!

Are Organic Foods Healthier Than Conventional Foods?

"Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity." - World Health Organization

Natural food in my opinion is a healthier choice. I will share with you why I feel eating natural food will provide better long term health benefits. When I say natural food, I mean food that is not man made. Natural food does not have chemicals, additives or growth hormones. Natural food is simply food grown organically the way nature intended.
Why are we experiencing so much sickness today, particularly in the western world? I strongly believe it is because of the lack of knowledge when it comes to proper nutrition and not incorporating natural and organic foods into our diet.
It seems as if the system is treating us like cattle, fattening us, then leading us to the slaughter. We are a society bred for disease solely to sustain the food and pharmaceutical conglomerates. If drug companies invented a cure for disease, they would be out of business. Realize that your body is a remarkable piece of machinery. It has the capability to heal itself. But upon the first sign of pain, we reach for a prescription or non-prescription drug.

This may provide temporary relief, but does not change the cause of the problem. This is why I choose to eat natural food and live an organic lifestyle. Let me give you another example.

Food manufacturers are pressed against time and have a fiduciary responsibility to its shareholders. They need to mass-produce large quantities of their fruits and vegetables. How do they do this? They grow their fruits and vegetables faster and in huge quantities with the aid of chemicals. So the fruits and vegetables you buy at your local supermarket are laced with toxic chemicals. Over time these toxins can make you sick. For this reason, it is better to eat natural food that is organically grown. Are organic foods healthier than conventional ones? I think you may say yes.

In the meat industry they also need to mass produce, so they feed their livestock chemicals and growth hormones, this way the animals grow bigger and faster. Could this be the reason our children are becoming obese at an earlier age? It is quite possible. The meat industry also uses sneaky tactics to trick consumers into thinking the meat is still fresh. You may have read recently about carbon monoxide being put into meat to keep that fresh rosy look. You can experiment by placing meat on your kitchen counter, leave it exposed for a few days and notice it will still have that "fresh" meat look. They add the carbon monoxide in small quantities through a procedure called "modified atmosphere packaging" and it's approved by the FDA.

This is not natural food and the practice is deceptive. Again are organic foods healthier than conventional ones? It would seem so.
It is important to get educated when it comes to health. Today with the internet and the information age, there is no excuse.

When it comes to our health, ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance can be hazardous to one's health. Have more control of your health and your diet.
