Your March Health Success Free Monthly ezine March 10, 2026 |
| Hi there
I hope you enjoy the e-zine as much as I do writing it. Index: Warren’s Notes :We are going through change of season again. Time just keeps slipping by, doesn't it? Today we are looking at resistance exercise and weight management for people who don't want to add obvious muscle mass. Personally I have been able to add weight training back into my lifestyle this year. Starting in January I've been back doing whole body exercise (dead lifts and squats) twice a week. It has only been a short time back in that rhythm but, as Jim Rohn always used to say, look for measurable progress over measurable time. Squats started with
bear bar, 20 kg. Monday was sets of 10 with 70kg bar. I was finding that I was just getting older, having trouble reaching things on the ground to pick them up, aches and pains, carrying a little extra 'pre-season conditioning' around the waist. Knowing about nutrition I have no excuse for carrying extra weight but life just seems to get the way of good intentions. Now I'm doing the exercise again I'm finding no difficulty picking up a dropped paper or coin. Those aches and pains seem to have disappeared. Muscle tone is assisting with trimming up again (though there is still a
way to go with that!). The point here is, I think, that I've been doing that exercise for couple of months and over that time there has been measurable progress. Maybe today's articles will be a trigger for you to focus on something you would like to improve with your health, stress levels, or other things in your life. We really hope so and wish you will with anything that you decide to focus on. Warren.

New order website for Australian customers:Cells are the fundamental unit of the body and make up our tissues, organs and body systems.

Herbalife Nutrition’s Cellular Science provides the elements that the body needs on a daily basis to maintain good health. Optimal Health Tip:Achieve Toned Muscle without Bulking UpFor women mostly, the fear of exercising and using weights is associated with their fear of building mass muscle and looking a little too bulky. If you’ve been afraid to try weight lifting for this reason, you’ll be happy to know it’s not an issue. If you’re overweight, strength training will actually help you burn more fat. The muscle helps increase your metabolism, which means you burn more fat without having to do more cardio or eat fewer calories. The last thing you want to do is lose weight and end up with a large amount of flab hanging around your arms, legs and stomach. You want those areas toned and svelte without looking like Rambo. One way you can do this is to build a strength training regimen that uses lighter weight and a high amount of reps. When you do this, you’re still building muscle and getting toned, but the focus is more about fat burning than mass
muscles. You do want to slowly add more weight to your workout until you shed all of the weight you want to lose. And from that point on, it’s simple maintenance. You don’t have to continue adding more weight. As you slim down, your bodyweight might not be enough for you – so at some point, you might want to add a few weights. Go as light or as heavy as you want to. Unless you’re eating huge portions, you’re not going to be able to build mass like you’re worried about. Even using heavier weights in your workouts isn’t going to make you build a lot of mass. It simply means you get stronger. You still have to consume larger portions to turn that into bodybuilder-sized muscles. You can also tone up without weights using forms of exercise like yoga or pilates. These also use your bodyweight (like pushups do) to help strengthen your body and give you that all-over toned look you’ve been hoping to get. Motivating Quotes:
"To err is human, but it feels divine." – Mae West "Just remember, we're all in this alone." – Lily Tomlin "I have a simple philosophy. Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. And scratch where it itches." – Alice Roosevelt Longworth "The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits." – Albert Einstein "A year from now you may wish you had started today." – Karen Lamb "Nothing makes a person more productive than the last minute." – Unknown "Life is too short to be little." – Benjamin Disraeli "Always do right. This will gratify some people, and astonish the rest." – Mark Twain

What Are Hiccups?
How often do you get hiccups? They’re a common condition surrounded by a lot of misinformation. In the movies, they’re often a telltale sign that a character has a drinking problem. In reality, they have many causes. You’ve probably heard of dozens of home remedies. Understanding Hiccups They happen when your diaphragm, a muscle under your rib cage, starts to spasm. The sound comes from your vocal cords closing after each contraction. Hiccups rarely cause any harm, unless they embarrass you during a movie or a job interview. While you may need to accept them
as part of life, you can learn more about how to prevent and stop them. Preventing Hiccups They often take you by surprise, but you may have noticed that certain activities are more likely to make you hiccup. Focus on the factors you can control: 1. Avoid overeating. Too much food, especially fatty and spicy dishes, could be the culprit. Downsize your servings and eat slowly, so you’ll take in less air with each bite. 2. Skip soda. Carbonated beverages have a similar effect. Enjoy plain water or tea, instead of cola and seltzer. 3. Limit alcohol. When you drink, you increase the risk of acid reflux or heartburn. That’s when the contents of your stomach flow back into your esophagus. This can cause hiccups and more serious symptoms. 4. Quit
smoking. There are more compelling reasons to give up tobacco, but it causes hiccups too. Pick a quit date and use a combination of methods, like nicotine replacement devices and social support. 5. Manage stress.

Featured Store Product:THERMOGENISISThe NEW Development in Weight Management and Energy! (Taken from 9 to 5 magazine) Scientists believe the concept of thermogenisis is the most exciting news from weight management research in fifty years. Thermogenisis, meaning the generation of heat, is a normal process, like digestion, in which the body’s brown adipose (fatty) tissue (BAT) burns up the calories your body doesn’t need, thus creating a natural energy. Being overfat or obese, occurs primarily when BAT is not functioning properly, and the body must deal with excess calories by storing them as white fat. Scientists have discovered that by combining specific amounts of certain “totally natural” thermogenetic substances, it is possible to create a basically new compound with an “amazingly safe” thermogenetic action! THERMOGENISIS WILL DO THE FOLLOWING: * Prevent dietary lipids from being stored as white fat * Convert current white fat back into soluble lipids to be burned off * Burn off the soluble lipids * Increase the body’s energy by increasing the flow of blood, oxygen and nutrients to muscle tissue, . . . and * Remove the craving for high calorie food that causes the problem in the first place. THERMOJETICS ™ by Herbalife. THERMOJETICS ™ Beverage can be taken in hot or cold water, added to soup, Orange juice, Tomato juice etc. Only limited by your own creativity. It activates the thermogenetic process as described in article above. Often described as “rocket fuel”, due to the lift in mental clarity and either increased, or more sustainable energy.

It's not enough to just flippantly learn about stress relief for when things are really bad. You need to have a clear understanding about what stress does to your body and mind - and it doesn't have to be life changing events - it can be small stress that adds up on a daily basis. Stress Can Literally Break Your Heart When stress is running rampant in your life, it's taking a toll on your heart. High blood pressure is always a recurring theme of stress, and when you're under a lot of stress, your cholesterol levels soar, too. Cortisol hormones cause a great imbalance. Cortisol, paired with adrenaline, get into your bloodstream the minute you encounter a stressful situation. Left untreated, these two hormones
will wreak havoc on your body, keeping you ramped up in a fight or flight state of mind. Sometimes it's not just the high blood pressure or cholesterol levels that hurt your heart - it's the stress relief measure you're engaging in that do the most damage. For example, someone who is untrained in stress relief might reach for fattening, sugar-laden foods like a big bowl of ice cream that helps them drown their sorrows. Others might deal with stress by having a cigarette break every time they encounter even the smallest amount of stress. Those unhealthy habits are what cause the most damage to your heart, not the stress itself. Stress Devastates Your Immune System Whenever you experience a chronic amount of stress, it starts to weaken your immune system, making you vulnerable to viruses and colds as well as other diseases. Your body has first responder cells that
attack invaders, and when you are highly stressed, you don't have as many of these natural defense mechanisms. Keep stress at bay, but when you know you're under more stress than usual, make sure you load up on vitamin C and other supplements that might help your body fight back. Your Digestive System Takes a Beating Your digestive system doesn't work as well when you are feeling burdened by stress. Some people will have symptoms like heartburn when they're stressed out - even if they haven't eaten any traditional heartburn-inducing foods. Others will suffer from constipation or diarrhea during particularly stressful episodes. Some of these symptoms can be better controlled by dietary changes under stressful conditions. Your stomach might experience pain if you don't handle stress well. Some people find themselves suffering from ulcers and the chemical makeup of your gut gets altered because oxygen
doesn't reach it the same way, making it not function properly. If you know that you're prone to digestive disorders during stressful times, then you can make dietary changes to help you alleviate some of the concerns. Try adding probiotics to your diet (you can find them in yogurt). Stress Causes Physical Pain Have you ever heard the term "stress headache?" That's a tension headache brought on by a great deal of stress that you're experiencing. For some people, it's mild - and for others, it's a full-blown migraine. Headaches aren't the only pain you can suffer from stress. Back pain is a major symptom of too much stress. The lower back especially is susceptible to stress attacks. Many people experience a kink (also called a crick) in their necks due to stress. Sometimes this is caused by aligning your body improperly during sleep, but other times it's due to tension during your
sleep patterns, and muscles aches from the anxiety. Fatigue from Stress Wears You Down Anyone who has gone through stressful times will know how overwhelming the fatigue can be. The cortisol that heightens your alert system will eventually subside, causing your energy levels to crash. Cortisol also boosts your blood sugar, so when that eases up, your energy levels will drain and you'll feel like you've just run a marathon, even if you've been sitting on the couch all day long. Many times, individuals won't sleep well during prolonged periods of stress, so the lack of sleep causes daytime fatigue. Even if you think you got enough sleep, it may have been restless in nature. Stress Evolves Into Full-Blown Depression If you're not careful, then stress can turn into something much more harrowing - depression. It's one thing to feel increased anxiety from time to
time, and another to become depressed by the constant state of stress that you're in. Because the cortisol floods your body, it diminishes the amount of serotonin, or feel good hormones that you have. Under stack from stress, this makes it difficult when you have nothing that's able to fight back against the negative thoughts. Usually, one event or small situation that's stressful won't cause you to fall into a deep depression. It takes on-going stress to get you to that point. If you notice you're getting depressed past the point of slightly upset periodically, seek help and also work on treating it naturally. Stress Plays Games with Your Memory Some people start to forget things and instantly worry that they're aging prematurely and possibly suffering from Alzheimer's disease. But it might just be that you're experiencing stress. From losing your keys to forgetting names, stress
can interrupt your thought processes and cause you to forget things you've always known before. Cortisol is to blame for coming between you and your memories - and unfortunately, during stress, it is flooded into your bloodstream. What's odd is that in short bursts of stress, your memory can actually be improved slightly because your body and mind are under pressure. But chronic stress is what causes an impediment in your memory. Hair Loss Is a Sign of Chronic Stress Although you normally lose up to 100 strands of hair each day, during times of on-going stress, you might lose much more. Small stressful events don't cause you to shed your locks. The chronic stress is what causes one of the three forms of stress-related hair loss. Some people get so stressed out that they pull their hair out. This is known as Trichotillomania. Another form of stress-induced hair loss is Alopecia
areata. This is when your immune system goes haywire and attacks your follicles. We already know that your immune system is compromised during high levels of stress. The other way stress causes hair loss is called Telogen effluvium. The cortisol and high stress levels send your hair into a dead phase, and it ends up falling out over time in high quantities. Sometimes, when the stress subsides, the hair grows back. Other times, it's permanent. You can get hair loss treatments to help you save more of your locks during stressful times, including the supplement Biotin, which strengthens your hair and your nails. Stress Ages You Much Too Early Stress can age you quicker than usual - especially at a cellular level. The cortisol running rampant through your blood is debilitating your cells, so when it comes time for them to go to work repairing your body from toxins and other things, they don't have it
in them to do the work. The blood pressure that spikes during times of stress also ages you because the blood vessels constrict and end up damaging your hearing and your vision. This could be temporary - but if it's chronic, it could be permanent. You might already notice that when you're stressed and not getting enough sleep, you look older the next morning. You have dark circles and bags under your eyes. You're probably not hydrated well, either. You may have noticed how quickly American Presidents age after four years in office. Researchers believe that high levels of stress can contribute to a hastening of the aging process, from both an internal and external viewpoint. Stress is unavoidable. Everyone will experience it at one time or another. But how you handle it will make a big difference in whether it becomes a danger to you, or a simple temporary, and minor distraction.
