The holiday season proves to be a challenging chapter of the year. With over booked schedules, non-stop holiday parties, and pastries at every turn, it’s no wonder people are stressed out and gaining weight!
According to a study published in the US National Library of Medicine, the average weight gained during the holiday season by Americans is 1lb. Not so bad. However, it is a pound that you will never loose! After thirty five years of indulging in the holiday junk food-a-thon, it’s no wonder the mid-section tends to grow! A second study published a year later showed that obese people gain on average 5lbs! So how do we enjoy the festivities and keep the weight down?
According to an article posted on WebMD, the food choices we make are connected to our emotional state. Our emotional state has a huge influence on what kind of food we decide to eat and how much. If a person is exercising daily and feeling strong, he/she is less likely to over eat. Regular exercise keeps the stress down and the weight off!

Balance is the key to a healthy lifestyle and healthy eating habits. At Body for the Ages, we believe in our online Wellness Program which delivers the support and encouragement you need in order to create a healthy balance in your life! The online Wellness Program offers an individually tailored plan to each unique person.

Turning Back the Clock
If you’ve reached middle age and your health habits are less than desirable, don’t give up hope. Making a change at this stage of life will yield significant results, and set you on your way to an improved quality of life now, and in your senior years.
Dr. Dana King, a University of South Carolina professor of medicine, is part of a research team whose findings indicate that changing lifelong unhealthy habits in middle age may yield you a longer life.
“It’s not too late,” says Dr. King. “If you make [healthy] changes now, it has a tremendous impact.”
Dr. King and his team colleagues looked at four healthy habits in over 16,000 people between 45 and 64 years of age. Here are the categories they evaluated: eating five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day, 2.5 hours or more of exercise per week, a healthy weight level, and not smoking.
Dr. King’s research team found that the people who adhered to the four healthy habits were “40 percent less likely to die and 35 percent less likely to suffer heart problems than those who did not adopt the beneficial habits.”

Are you self-conscious about going to the gym?
Check out this quote from the Apria Healthcare website:
“In today’s weight room, you’re as likely to see a grandmother working her glutes as a quarterback working his quads, now that resistance exercise is recognized as vital to building strong muscles and bones.”
Read more here: http://www.apria.com/channels/1,2748,94-193,00.html
Pax’s Prescription Method of Training will show you how weight-resistance training will not only strengthen your muscles, but your heart as well.
Pax didn’t just treat his heart disease – he reversed it. Now his passion is to show others how to do the same. Why? Because it’s completely unnecessary that 50% of people die from Heart Disease or heart related illnesses. Body For The Ages seeks to eliminate this insidious statistic.
Read Pax’s story at www.BodyForTheAges.com. He’s living proof that you can take control of your health, beat heart risks, and have fun in the process.
Until Next Time,

Hey there Folks,
This is pretty helpful for anyone looking for some background information on the practice of anti-aging and exceeding the average human lifespan: Wiki - Anti-Aging.
We at BODY FOR THE AGES place an emphasis on anti-aging through preventative and rehabilitative Heart Health. We do this utilizing a more holistic / fitness regiment [concentrating on Heart Health and fighting Heart Disease], as opposed to some of the more scientific perspectives that are discussed in this Wiki page.
However we do implement the power of Pyruvate and Protein supplementation, found as a portion of our Online Wellness Program, you may visit us there to learn more about our Nonprofit mission or for direct access visit us at our retail Online Store now offering a 2 for 1 special on Pyruvate and 2 for 1Protein !! Visit and learn how Pyruvate can help you prevent Heart Risks.
until next time,

Pax Beale here.
I am no-nonsense about my passion to work with you as a team. However, my team has no laggards, quitters, or members who believe that “life just happens.”
We believe in the Body for the Ages Wellness Philosophy. Its rewards: a new you, greater self-esteem, and a hell of a lot of fun.
Bet you thought as a bodybuilder, I was going to show men how to put an inch on your arm, or women how to get rid of cellulite.
I want to show you more than that. Together we can change your life. My mission is to attack America’s number one killer: heart disease. And I do it through the Body for the Ages Wellness Philosophy.
But then, there is so much more that comes with it. Learn my protocol, and it can position you to become a millionaire, have success in your field of endeavor (not all life is based on the almighty dollar), to enhance your self-esteem, and/or you can have optimized success, health and happiness.
I’m not going to tell you the need to strangle America’s number one killer: heart disease. I want to show you how to do it.
Once done, it will affect your entire life. In the process I guarantee you will learn weight loss or weight control. I will show you how to get a body of your dreams. You will be exposed to the prospect of a complete, positive, remake of your life, from what you eat, to how you feel when you wake up.
Your life changes and as a by-product, you will reduce or reverse your heart disease risks.
It’s all based on the Body for the Ages Wellness Philosophy.
I’ll leave you this week with a true story. My friend Elaine Pedersen was flying to Portland, Oregon, and on the plane she met former football coach John McKay of the University of Southern California. The USC team was to play Oregon that Saturday. Upon departing, Elaine said to coach McKay, “good luck on Saturday.” The coach turned and paused for a moment. He looked at Elaine and said, “I suppose that has something to do with it.”
The moral of the story: having a plan, like the Body for the Ages Wellness Philosophy is what wins football games, not luck. The same applies in life.

In the past, I saw fitness as a hobby. (A strange, painful activity done by strange people.) I’d see friends head to the gym in the evenings for a workout, and think, “Run on a treadmill? Lift weights? No thanks. Not for me.”
I’ve lately begun to notice that in this day and age, a “not for me” attitude, when it comes to fitness, leaves you lacking in many areas of life, including job security. With health insurance rates rising, companies are beginning to take active measures to insure their employees are health-conscious assets to their companies, rather than costly burdens.
So I guess you could say I jumped on the bandwagon out of fear. Once the seed had been planted, though, I began to think more about it. Faced with the opportunity to join the Body for the Ages Online Wellness Program, I asked myself what such an undertaking really meant to me. Well, of course it may seem obvious: a healthier lifestyle… Duh. But I think it’s easy for us to lump the terms “health”, “fitness”, and “wellness” into an abstract idea - a chore or an obligation, like when we’re little and we hear “Eat your vegetables” at the dinner table every night.
It’s important, though, to stop and think about how wellness is connected to our life’s most cherished goals. I got out a pen and paper and asked myself what exactly I wanted from the Body for the Ages Wellness Program.
What will you bring me, health? I asked in big letters at the top.
Underneath, I listed:
More energy
A sexy body
The ability to keep up with my children
A long, happy life
I stopped and read over what I’d written. Each item on my list was non-negotiable. Now that my list of wants was there in black and white, staring me in the face, I couldn’t crumple it up. I couldn’t toss it in the trash and say “not for me”, and head home to my couch and a few mindless hours of television, to end my day.
So after work, I headed over to the Body for the Ages Health Center instead…
…Check back next week to hear about Day One on Team Body for the Ages.
