At the age of 23, I became over weight. I was unhappy with
myself and my life. I decided that I needed to do something to
get rid of the excess baggage. I joined a weight club in hopes
that it would encourage me to diet and exercise in order to get
the weight off. The weight club helped, but not enough, I had to
come up with a better plan.

After working each day, I would run up and down the long drive
where I lived several times. In a few weeks I saw an improvement
and the weight was coming off. I was now fresh encouraged and
started jogging on the critical road and any place that I could.
After a few months time, I was almost back to my normal weight.
I felt good about myself and what I had accomplished. The
jogging gave me extra energy than I had ever had before.

Jogging has its advantages and disadvantages. Time is a big
factor to most of us. We don’t have the time to spend hours in
an exercise program each day or even every other day. Jogging
takes less time to burn calories and to achieve cardiovascular
fitness. A heavier individual would burn innumerable calories quicker
than a smaller individual for the same amount of exercise. How
many calories an individual would burn would depend on the
duration of the workout. Jogging conditions the heart, improves
muscle tone and strength, and relieves stress. It can also help
with a variety of other health problems such as osteoporosis,
heart disease and arthritis. Some of the disadvantages of
jogging are: Due to the high impact, jogging is higher likely to
cause joint problems. Other injuries can be from placing stress
on the muscles although; with the proper shoes and proper
stretching, you can greatly reduce your risk of injury.

Before you decide to get into an exercise program of any type
you should get a medical clearance from your doctor, especially
if you have a heart problem, high blood pressure, over 60 or are
or have been a smoker. When you start your jogging program,
start off by stretching all your muscles. Begin by walking to
get your body use to the new program. Gradually build up to a
faster pace and then on to a short jog. Your feet may be tender
from always wearing shoes. You can condition your feet by
jogging barefoot. At first you may want to jog on the grass but
then work up to jogging on pavement to toughen up the feet.
Don’t overdo, set a pace that is comfortable for you. Pushing
yourself will only be discouraging and you will become tired of
the program. If you are not feeling well or just don’t feel up
to doing the routine, then don’t. It is major harmful to push
yourself if you really are not up to it. If you find you are out
of breath after a jog, or cannot carry on a conversation while
jogging, you may need to slow the pace. Jog properly, landing on
the ball of your heel and let the rest of your foot follow. Push
off from your toes as you begin your next step. Let your arms
swing and keep your back straight, don’t hunch up. It is only
natural to lean forward some while jogging up hill. Relax your
body. You can do larger harm to your body by being tense. Make
sure that you bring cool water along to keep your body from
dehydrating. Always stretch your body again after a work out.

Wearing proper gear is important. You don’t have to pay a
fortune for a pair of running shoes. A comfortable pair of shoes
will do in the beginning. As you get massed advanced in your
jogging program, you may find that you are willing to spend further
money on a good pair of running shoes. Avoid wearing thin or
dress socks. You may want to wear athletic socks; it may help in
the reduction of blisters. If you find that you are getting
blisters, you may want to try applying petroleum jelly to your
feet before jogging. You should wear light, loose fitting
clothing. Light or white clothing will help keep the body cooler
and loose fitting will let you move freely. If you are jogging
at night, wear bright colors so you can be spotted easily but
don’t jog at night unless it is absolutely the only time that is
available for you.

Safety when jogging is important. Never jog in an unfamiliar
place. Jog facing the traffic. Change your route; don’t jog in
the same areas every time. Keep alert! Be aware of you
surroundings. Carry a whistle in case needed to alert someone
that you need help. If you are being followed, go to the nearest
house and call the police. Stay away from bushes where someone
could hide. If you can, jog with someone that you know. Always
take a key to your home with you so you can get back in and
never leave your home unlocked while you are jogging.

I have continued to jog throughout my life time for one reason
or another. Jogging can be fun and relaxing as well as getting
exercise and reducing stress levels. Enjoy the view. Put on a
headset and listen to music. Make jogging fun, relaxing,
enjoyable, and spend some quality time for yourself. You will be
amazed at the benefits you will receive.

In a regular cup of coffee there are about 170 mg of caffeine
and in decaffeinated coffee there are about 30/40 mg of caffeine.

On the stock market, Coffee is a 90 billion dollar industry but
what is significant is that just in North America 85%+ drink 3
to 5 cups of coffee per day. A huge number of people are at risk
for many of the issues surrounding coffee consumption.

Top Ten Reasons why you should consider switching to a
“Healthy Coffee”

Cardiovascular Problems

Caffeine increases your heart rate, elevates your blood
pressure, and can contribute to the development of heart
disease. Both decaf and regular coffee increase your cholesterol
and homocysteine, the biochemical that science has linked to
increased risk for heart attack. Caffeine is also linked to
coronary vasospasms, the cause for 20% of all fatal heart
attacks which kill otherwise perfectly healthy people.

Stress

Caffeine stimulates the excretion of stress hormones which can
produce increased levels of anxiety, irritability, muscular
tension and pain, indigestion, insomnia, and decreased immunity.
Increased levels of stress from caffeine can keep you from being
able to make healthy responses to the normal daily stress
everyone is subjected to in their lives.

Emotional Disturbances

Anxiety and irritability are hallmark mood disturbances
associated with caffeine consumption, but equally important is
depression and attention disorders. Depression may occur as part
of the let down after the stimulant effects of caffeine wears
off. It may also appear during the recovery period after
quitting caffeine while the brain’s chemistry is readjusted.
Caffeine rather than increasing mental activity actually
decreases blood flow to the brain by as much as 30% and
negatively effects memory and mental performance.

Blood Sugar Swings

Diabetics and hypoglycemics should avoid caffeine because it
stimulates a temporary surge in blood sugar which is then
followed by an overproduction of insulin that causes a blood
sugar crash within hours. If you’re trying to loose weight, this
rollercoaster will actually cause weight gain since insulin’s
message to the body is to store excess sugar as fat.

Gastrointestinal Problems

Many people experience a burning sensation in their stomach
after drinking coffee because coffee increases the secretion of
hydrochloric acid leading to an increased risk for ulcers.
Coffee, including decaf, reduces the pressure on the valve
between the esophagus and the stomach so that the highly acidic
contents of the stomach pass up to the esophagus leading to
heartburn and gastro-esophageal reflux disease. With America ’s
high consumption of coffee, its no wonder the number one selling
over-the-counter drugs are the so-called antacids.

Nutritional Deficiencies

Caffeine inhibits the absorption of some nutrients and causes
the urinary excretion of calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and
trace minerals, all essential elements necessary for good health.

Male Health Problems

Male Health Issues: Coffee is an irritant to the urinary tract
and bladder. It is also a diuretic that aggravates conditions
associated with frequent urination. Eliminating coffee and
caffeine often relieves symptoms associated with frequent
urination due to enlarged prostate glands.

Dr. Milton Krisiloff, M.D. has found that in the majority of
cases, men can significantly reduce their risk for urinary and
prostate problems by making dietary changes which include
eliminating coffee and caffeine.

Female Health Problems

Fibrocystic breast disease, PMS, osteoporosis, infertility
problems, miscarriage, low birth weight infants, and menopausal
problems such as hot flashes are all exacerbated by caffeine
consumption. Women on birth control pills are particularly at
risk since they have a decreased ability to detoxify caffeine.

Adrenal Exhaustion

Caffeine consumption leads to eventual adrenal exhaustion which
can leave you vulnerable to a variety of health disorders
related to inflammation, autoimmunity, and fatigue.

Aging

Many people find in their forties that they can no longer
tolerate the same level of caffeine consumption as they could in
their twenties and thirties. The production of DHEA, melatonin,
and other vital hormones start to decline and caffeine speeds up
that downhill drop. Caffeine dehydrates the body and contributes
to the aging of the skin and kidneys. It has been shown to
inhibit DNA repair and slow the ability of the liver to detoxify
foreign toxins.

Exhausted Adrenal Glands

Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant. It causes the
adrenal glands to secrete adrenaline, the hormone your body
depends on in emergencies to elevate your heart rate, increase
your respiration and blood pressure for a rapid flight-or-fight
response. When you overuse stimulants, the adrenals become
exhausted. If your caffeine sensitivity has fade awayed or you’re
one of those who claims you can drink 3 shots of espresso and go
right to sleep, guess what? Your adrenals have given up
responding. This means you have less resistance to stress, which
leaves you vulnerable to health hazards such as environmental
pollutants and disease pathogens

Severe Blood Sugar Swings

Caffeine forces the liver to release glycogen into the blood
stream. The pancreas responds to the sudden rise in blood sugar
by releasing insulin, the hormone which causes excess
carbohydrates to be stored as fat. Within the span of an hour or
two, the result is a sharp blood sugar drop resulting in a state
of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). That’s when you think it’s
time for another cup of coffee and the whole cycle starts up
again.

Acid Imbalance

Over 208 acids in coffee can contribute to indigestion and a
wide variety of health problems resulting from over-acidity
associated with arthritic, rheumatic and skin irritations. Many
people experience a burning sensation in their stomach after
drinking coffee because coffee increases the secretion of acid
in the stomach. Optimal health calls for an alkaline pH balance
in the body.

Essential Mineral Depletion

Coffee inhibits the absorption of some nutrients and causes the
urinary excretion of calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and
trace minerals, all essential elements necessary for good
health. Women need to be concerned about osteoporosis as
menopause sets in. Studies show that women who drink coffee have
an increased incidence of osteoporosis compared to non-coffee
drinkers. Men are not immune to osteoporosis either.

These are a number of health conditions for which doctors advise
their patients to eliminate coffee and all caffeine from their
diet.

Acid indigestion Anxiety, irritability and nervousness Candida
or yeast problems Colitis, diverticulitis, diarrhea and other
irritable bowel symptoms Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and other
auto-immune disorders Diabetes or hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
Dizziness, Meniere’s syndrome or tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
Gout (Elevated Uric Acid levels) Heart disease or heart
palpitations High blood pressure High cholesterol Insomnia and
interrupted or poor quality sleep Liver disease and gallbladder
problems such as gallstones Kidney or bladder problems including
kidney stones Migraines or other vascular headaches Osteoporosis
Skin irritations, rashes and dryness Ulcers, heartburn, and
stomach problems such as hiatal hernias Urinary tract irritation
