Chicago Fit 4 Life Fas ng to get there faster!

Fas ng is the act of giving up food or certain foods for a period of me. This isthe Lent season (Lent deriving from the word Lengthen) or 40days before Easterand billions of people worldwide will be depriving themselves of certain foodsand/or acts. Many of us understand fas ng but do not understand how good itreally is for your body. Here are a few bene ts of fas ng:

Fas ng helps rest the system: Our intake everyday causes our diges ve systemundergo the process of diges on several mes each day. Fas ng for a period is thought to o er some rest and respite for the bodyssystems. This is also thought to provide me for the system to heal and rejuve-nate itself.Cleansing and elimina on of toxins: Fas ng is thought to cleanse the body oftoxins and help ush them out. This is par cularly true in the case of waterfas ng, so that the system is ushed and cleansed of toxins and other harmfulsubstances.Even the mind can get help achieve greater clarity with fas ng, it is claimed.According to some experts, fas ng helps improve the health of the liver since itdetoxi es the liver.Helping one remain younger: For a long me now, it has been thought that therenewing and refreshing impact of fas ng can help slow the aging process. Thisis probably because of the fact that fas ng reduces glucose and insulin in theblood and therefore reduces oxida ve stress on the body.Good for the immune system: Since the intes nes are also rested during a fast,this can help to increase the amount of good bacteria that lines the intes neshelping to give a boost to the immune system.Fas ng can also increase white blood cell count according to some studies andthis can help to destroy harmful bacteria in the body.

Types of Fast: Water Fast or Full Fast

Drink only liquids, the best liquid to drink is water. This fast really assists withushing out your system. The best water to drink is spring water during this fast.

Monitor your energy level very closely because when you are drinking only liq-uids then your body becomes weak at a certain point and you will need solidfood. Start back ea ng solid food with soup, then move on to fruits and vegeta-bles and eventually meat.

The Daniel Fast

Eat no meat, no sweets and no bread. Drink water and 100% juice. Eat fruits andvegetables. Stay away from white potatoes.

3-Day Fast This fast can be a Full Fast, Daniel Fast or give up at least one item of food. Youhave to prepare ahead of me for all fast, dont try to just fast on the morningyou wake up.

Par al Fast

A par al fast is from sun up to sundown. You can select from three types offas ng a Full Fast, Daniel Fast or give up at least one item of food. You caneven perform a dry fast where you dont eat or drink anything during this me.Just remember to reduce your level of physical ac vity because you do not haveany calories to burn for energy.

Each year, thousands of older Americans fall at home. Many of them are seriouslyinjured, and some are disabled. In 2002, more than 12,800 people over age 65died and 1.6 million were treated in emergency departments because of falls.

Falls are o en due to hazards that are easy to overlook but easy to x. This check-list will help you nd and x those hazards in your home.

The checklist asks about hazards found in each room of your home. For each haz-ard, the checklist tells you how to x the problem. At the end of the checklist,youll nd other ps for preven ng falls.

FLOORS: Look at the oor in each room.

Q: When you walk through a room, do you have to walk around furniture? Ask someone to move the furniture so your path is clear. Q: Do you have throw rugs on the oor? Remove the rugs or use double -sided tape or a non -slip backing so the rugs wontslip. Q: Are there papers, books, towels, shoes, magazines, boxes, blankets, or otherobjects on the oor? Pick up things that are on the oor. Always keep objects o the oor. Q: Do you have to walk over or around wires or cords (like lamp, telephone, orextension cords)? Coil or tape cords and wires next to the wall so you cant trip over them. If needed,have an electrician put in another outlet.

Look at the stairs you use both inside and outside your home.

Q: Are there papers, shoes, books, or other objects on the stairs? Pick up things on the stairs. Always keep objects o stairs. Q: Are some steps broken or uneven? Fix loose or uneven steps. Q: Are you missing a light over the stairway? Have an electrician put in an overhead light at the top and bo om of the stairs. Q: Do you have only one light switch for your stairs (only at the top or at thebo om of the stairs)? Have an electrician put in a light switch at the top and bo om of the stairs. Youcan get light switches that glow. Q: Has the stairway light bulb burned out? Have a friend or family member change the light bulb. Q: Is the carpet on the steps loose or torn? Make sure the carpet is rmly a ached to every step, or remove the carpet anda ach non -slip rubber treads to the stairs. Q: Are the handrails loose or broken? Is there a handrail on only one side of thestairs? Fix loose handrails or put in new ones. Make sure handrails are on both sides ofthe stairs and are as long as the stairs.

KITCHEN: Look at your kitchen and ea ng area. Q: Are the things you use o en on high shelves? Move items in your cabinets. Keep things you use o en on the lower shelves(about waist level). Q: Is your step stool unsteady? If you must use a step stool, get one with a bar to hold on to. Never use a chair asa step stool.

BATHROOMS: Look at all your bathrooms.

Q: Is the tub or shower oor slippery? Put a non -slip rubber mat or self -s ck strips on the oor of the tub or shower. Q: Do you need some support when you get in and out of the tub or up from thetoilet? Have a carpenter put grab bars inside the tub and next to the toilet.

BEDROOMS: Look at all your bedrooms. Q: Is the light near the bed hard to reach? Place a lamp close to the bed where its easy to reach. Q: Is the path from your bed to the bathroom dark? Put in a night -light so you can see where youre walking. Some night -lights go onby themselves a er dark.
