Fitness isn’t just physical; Change your thoughts, and you change your world.Of course we all agree that gaining and losing weight, exercise, diet, strength, and flexibility(灵活性) are a part of fitness.But what about body image, aging , relationships, success, and happiness? They are all related, all connected, and fitness in all areas is important if you want true and total fitness.
But you may say , “I just want to lose 20 pounds.If I do, I will feel better about myself and I will be happy .”Maybe in the short term, but honestly, if we don’t deal with our mental and emotional fitness while working on the physical, there is very little chance of keeping the weight off, feeling good about yourself, and improving every other area of your life.
Let’s not waste tine changing our bodies if we don’t change our minds, Let’s work“out”and work“in” at the same time .Change your mind and you must, because if you have been trying to lose weight, but cannot, there is something inside you that is disallowing it.You can change this pattern, improve your self-esteem, increase your joy, and change your body for good by focusing on changing your mind.This is training for life.
Work-ins will repair your mind, improve your attitude, change your perception and encourage motivation at the same time you are conditioning your body for weight loss, shaping, strength and endurance.
If you repeat a positive statement over and over to yourself——like a mantra(祷文),your mind will change, the same way your body does, even if you don’t believe it.Like lifting a weight over and over, your muscle changes——even if you don’t believe it.

Vitamin D helps bones and muscles grow strong and healthy.Low levels of vitamin D can lead to diseases such as rickets(软骨病), mainly found in children.The thinning of bone is a common problem as people, especially women, get older.
But more and more research is suggesting that vitamin D might also help prevent many diseases.The easiest way to get vitamin D is from sunlight.The sun’s ultraviolet(紫外线的)rays react with skin cells to produce vitamin D.But many people worry about getting skin cancer and skin damage from the sun.As a result they stay out of the sun.Also, darker-skinned people produce less vitamin D than lighter-skinned people.The amount also de-creases in older people and those living in northern areas that get less sunlight.
Not many foods naturally contain vitamin D.Foods high in this vitamin include oily fish and fish liver oils.Farmed fish have only about one-fourth as much vitamin D as wild fish.Small amounts of vitamin D are found in beef liver, cheese and egg yolks.But most of the vitamin D in the American diet comes from foods such as milk.
Research in the last several years has shown that low levels of vitamin D may increase the risk of heart attacks in men and deaths from some cancers.More doctors are now having their patients tested for their vitamin D levels.But as research continues, some experts worry that if people take too much vitamin D, it might act as a poison, Also, skin doctors warn people be careful with sun exposures because of the risk of skin cancer.
