I heard that!! Okay, I'm kidding. I
promise I'm not a crazy person. So what is "Eat Clean and Train like
Choo-Choo"? Well, to be honest, it's supposed to be catchy. I've been told
that's how you should title a blog. HAH! But really. Eat Clean and Train like
Choo-Choo is a movement that encourages people to make the best of what we
have.
So,
what do we have?!
We have our minds and our bodies.
Duh!
So what?
So, what if I told you that I have
discovered a formula that will fuel and enhance both our minds and our bodies!
Uh,
Cool. What is it?
Glad you asked! First off, all
living creatures require sustenance (bear with me). What we sustain our body
with (our energy) has a direct impact on our actions (our energy expenditure)
and vice-versa. That's not to say that if we eat a hamburger it will cause us
to do the boogey-woogey (although it might, if it's really tasty). I mean that
the food we consume will provide us with a certain amount of energy as well as
number of different possible side effects (positive or negative). Most
convenience foods contain high amounts of chemicals and preservatives. How does
this affect our body and mind? Well, negatively (we will get into this later!) The
first part of my formula to fuel and enhance one’s body and mind is eating
healthy.
So
what’s the second part?
While the fuel we use for our
bodies and minds has an impact on our actions, our actions also have an impact
on how we fuel our bodies. It is pretty common knowledge that those who do very
little activity throughout the day simply require less fuel.
So
why don’t we all just sit around doing very little and not eat a lot? It would
save money on groceries!
Well, you could be a malnourished
hermit if you’re really trying to save a few bucks, but that certainly is not
the way to a stronger body and brighter mind! Engaging in physical activity not
only encourages your body to fight off illness and disease, it also promotes the
release of neurotransmitters and endorphins which result in a feeling of
happiness (that’s right, your body LIKES moving around).
So my formula for fueling and
enhancing one’s body and mind is a combination of healthy eating and physical
activity! Okay, I’ll admit that I didn’t actually discover this… I’m just a
strong believer in it! The only question now,
How
do you eat healthy and stay active?
