Diets That Didn’t Work
Mr. Banting was not happy with this state of affairs. He struggled for years to take off weight. He tried everything that the medical profession of that day would either sanction or not positively prohibit. He tried steaming, spas, starvation diets; he subjected himself to leeching and purging; he tried exercise, which must have taken superhuman effort in a man of his proportions.

It might be just what I need to jump start my “get in shape” plans.
Changing Diet, Behavior and Exercise
Keep in mind the factors that increase risk for atheroselerosis and coronary heart disease in persons who, like you, have been diagnosed as having elevated cholesterol. Cigarette smoking, obesity, insufficient exercise, high blood pressure and diabetes all compound the danger of disease in a person who also has the major risk factor of high cholesterol. How fortunate that you can eliminate or control these risk factors by simply making the one-day-at-a time choice to live a healthy life.

This process has a greater impact than just shrinking your waistline; adding exercise to your beauty routine can help enhance the look of your skin and hair, improve sleep habits, boost your immune system and improve your mood.
