Workout and weight loss on wheels- sitting sweetly
1) Experts suggest that when you have to sit for long periods of time, you should stand up, walk, or stretch every 20 minutes. In the case of people who can't walk, there are other movements that can be done. One idea is to lay down but this is impractical during the day. The idea of not sitting is about getting the blood flowing differently so ideas could be shifting your weight from side to side by leaning over, change your position in the wheelchair, or straighten out your legs (they are usually bent).
2) Sugar actually makes thing unhealthy. Not only can this ingredient add a lot of calories but sugar can damage cells; reduce the body's ability to resist infection; it can cause cancer, etc. There are a slew of other negative reactions. Look at the label and notice how high the sugar content is in your favorite meal or snack. If it’s more than 10g, find a replacement food. Some examples may be honey, syrup, fresh fruits, Soda can be a huge problem with dieting. Test yourself by trying to drink or eat something you normally sweeten regularly but this time consume it without adding anything to it. It may take some getting used to so don't decide immediately that it can't happen. Eventually you are likely to get used to it, if for no other reason it becomes much more healthy.
