 A case in point: moderate exercise is a known hormetic stressor that results in increased life span,3 but too much exercise can result in a shortened life span. Whoa, there it is again. moderate exercise is good for you because it's bad for you. Because of this stress response, some exercise improves your immune system and too much destroys it. The bottom line is, whenever your genes sense too much stress, they conclude that you're not a successful animal and therefore don't need to be protected and preserved, activating killer genes. |

 As well, although moderate exercise tends to help normalize appetite, severe exercise can provoke a profound increase in appetite and can even promote binge eating in some people.
The most sensible approach to weight loss is to decrease caloric intake and increase moderate exercise simultaneously. Reading labels and paying close attention to the caloric content of foods can be very valuable. As well, making frequent use of Internet resources such as the USDAs National Nutrient Database (www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/food comp/search/) or private nutrition services such as www.calorieking . |

 Moderate exercise can be your best friend—building strong muscles around the joints can go a long way toward relieving joint pain, not to mention the benefits exercise provides to overall endurance, well-being, and mood. Two exercise modalities worth checking out are tai chi, a very gentle form of martial arts that involves soft, flowing movements and no stress on the joints, and water aerobics, which can be done at different levels of difficulty without putting any stress on the joints. For more ideas, the www.about.com website has an excellent introduction to exercise with arthritis. |

 Caring for Your Body
Make the following part of your lifestyle:
Regular, moderate exercise, such as brisk walking, swimming, and rebounding. Daily use of a Chi Machine is beneficial.
Some kind of weight bearing exercise three times per week.
As health and vitality returns, increase exercise to raise pulse rate and bring on perspiration. This improves cardiovascular function and releases toxins through the skin and breath. It also works to generate more energy.
Get the full rest your body needs. Try to keep regular sleeping hours. Review Rest in chapter 11. |

 First, it leads to weight loss, which improves GERD and dyspepsia. moderate exercise also directly reduces symptoms of IBS and dyspepsia apart from its role in weight loss and promotes the movement of food out of the stomach and into the intestine. Thirty minutes of sustained movement such as fast walking, running, or strength training four or five times a week is all it takes to improve or eliminate these conditions.
The Bottom Line
Exercise, cook your own meals, and avoid junk food and dining in restaurants. |

 Cooper recommends a moderate exercise program for everyone, but he also suggests that everyone take antioxidants in supplementation. Only serious athletes should undertake strenuous exercise, and they should balance it with significant amounts of antioxidant supplements.3
Excessive Stress
As with exercise, a mild to moderate amount of emotional stress produces only a slight increase in free radicals. Severe emotional stress, however, causes the number of free radicals to rise significantly, creating oxidative stress. |

 Exercise is an important part of the puzzle for the insulin resistant and the diabetic. Even moderate exercise (such as brisk walking) enhances insulin sensitivity, as does resistance training with weights.
DRUGS FOR DIABETES AND THE NUTRIENTS THEY DEPLETE
If you have a diagnosis of diabetes or insulin resistance, also known as "prediabetes," borderline diabetes, metabolic syndrome, or Syndrome X, you should not head right for the pharmacy. It's been proven over and over that you can reverse this condition yourself, with the right diet, plus exercise. |

 Light to moderate exercise early in the evening was found to promote sleep and improve its quality. A walk after dinner is a perfect way to get a bit of exercise, wind down, and improve digestion all at the same time. However, exercise late in the evening was found to be less beneficial. In the study, 65% of the respondents said they felt better in the morning when they had exercised the previous evening. When asked their feelings on sleep-promoting activities, 33% of the respondents said evening exercise promoted sleep and improved its quality. |

| Remember, your genes are always seeking pleasurable experiences and compounds; mild to moderate exercise not only floods your brain with these compounds, it is actually enjoyable. Strenuous exercise, on the other hand, is rarely pleasurable and sends the opposite message: You are struggling to survive and are not a good example to keep around.
In the next chapter, I'll discuss the fork in the road: the point in any weight-loss program where you confront the fact that you're unwilling to drop below a certain number of calories in a day but want to continue to lose pounds. |

 In another study of 573 women with colon cancer, women who followed a moderate exercise program for more than six hours a week after their colon cancer diagnosis were 61% less likely to die of cancer-specific causes than women who exercised less than one hour a week. In all cases, exercise was found to be protective regardless of the patient's age, stage of cancer, or weight. A third study, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, confirmed the above findings after examining the effects of exercise on 832 men and women with stage III colon cancer. |

 When the body is in a state of cleansing, it is best to conserve most of your energy to build the vital force in order to stimulate cellular detox, but moderate exercise that moves the lymph and blood, and that leaves the body stimulated but not exhausted, is excellent. Don't overtax your body with activity. After 45-60 days, if you are continuing to Juice Feast, your coach may advise you to begin weight training, as your body is now in a state of rebuilding as much or more than a state of cleansing. |

Riboflavin, or vitamin B2, is another nutrient that has been shown to be effective in the treatment of migraines. It can potentially decrease the number of migraine days by about 25 percent and lower the frequency by 30 percent. Similar to CoQIO, riboflavin is needed to convert food into energy. Dairy products, eggs, and meat contain significant amounts of B2 but wouldn't come close to providing the high doses you would need to treat a migraine. |

 The reality is that if no one used tobacco and everyone ate a balanced, healthy diet of natural organic foods coupled with moderate exercise, the incidence of these types of diseases and the number of prescription drugs that people take would be a fraction of what it is today. Despite the fact that it is obviously smarter and better to take these preventive measures, many people continue to eat poorly and refuse to perform even a minimal amount of physical activity. Instead, we look to our doctors and their prescription pads to cure our ills. It's an avoidable tragedy. |
| Since people are creatures of habit, it only makes sense that creating a routine of healthy eating and moderate exercise will improve your health and help you manage your weight. When this routine is broken, things can spiral out of control very quickly.
A Caribbean cruise I took with my wife should have been called the gluttony cruise because people spent the majority of their time eating as much food as possible, and I was no exception. Sure, I made my way to the ship's fitness center three times during the week, and I swam a few times too. |

Exercise Recommendations. Physical exercise that includes strength, cardiac, and flexibility modalities (see Appendix A) ensures a menopause without exaggerated symptoms and protects against heart disease and osteoporosis when it is initiated early in life, is appropriate and moderate, and lasts throughout life.

 Usefulness of the study data is further impaired by the restriction of participants to a moderate exercise program (walking 30 minutes/day, 3 times weekly), thereby preventing the assessment of safety in the presence of greater cardiovascular stress normally associated with traditional programs of aerobic exercise (Boozer et al, 2002).
In an open-label, single-arm study, coadministration of ephedra and guarana significantly increased mean maximum change in heart rate and systolic blood pressure in healthy subjects (Haller et al, 2002). |

 The author of that review commented that people with adequate vitamin C status oxidize 30 percent more fat during moderate exercise than those with low vitamin C status.1' Given this preliminary evidence, people with low vitamin C intake—a very large percentage of the population as we've just seen—could be potentially resistant, or at least sluggish, when it comes to weight loss. Other research has shown that improving vitamin C status is associated with significantly more weight loss compared to a placebo." |

 Bear in mind that moderate exercise has profound anti-inflammatory and antistress effects, whereas heavy and prolonged exercise releases huge quantities of stress hormones. For this reason I recommend moderate levels of exercise. Does this mean you shouldn't do an hour of cardio? No. It means that you shouldn't be pushing yourself to complete exhaustion every time you work out. Listen to your body. It will tell you when it's time to stop. Also don't forget that the benefits of exercise are cumulative. You don't have to go at it for a full hour straight. |

| Moreover, moderate exercise is linked to an improved immune system and an increase in white blood cell activity—both of which positively influence cellular detoxification. Let's not forget how exercise also helps us manage stress better, which can cycle back to boost our immunity further and help us improve our resistance to stress factors that can make us sick and retain more toxins.
One area of exciting study currently under way is how exercise can literally reverse aging. Just last year researchers showed that exercise can help reverse the aging process at the cellular level. |
