The rise in degenerative and stress-related ailments and diseases has health experts and people all over the world looking for permanent solutions to this epidemic.  The South Beach Detox, a Miami-based leader in health & wellness programs which offers its services worldwide is sharing its knowledge on how to remain healthy, prevent illness, and find long-lasting happiness. 

Miami, FL (Feb 7, 2011) The past 2 years have seen tremendous interest and emphasis on integrating a preventative approach to healthcare.  As the first lady, Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" initiative progresses within public schools, proper nutrition and exercise remain at the heart of its successful implementation. To attain the objectives set forth by the Obama Administration and achieve permanent changes, mentalities need to change and people must become aware of the direct relationship between their nutrition and exercise regimen and their state of health.  The South Beach Detox has made it its primary objective to support this reform and provide an affordable and non-invasive detox program that can benefit as many people as possible. Both parents and children need to be educated on the value of health and how to achieve it if sustainable changes are to take place.

The South Beach Detox has integrated yoga, breathing, mantra chanting and meditation to a line of powerful nutritional and cleansing products in order to offer the most effective and powerful holistic cleanse possible. Further, the pioneering company is now offering the detox as a 'virtual' program which can be done in the privacy of your home.  Not only has this made  The South Beach Detox very convenient for people who cannot spend 4 days in-studio but it has also cut down the cost to a third of what you would pay for it before.  In-studio and private options remain available for those clients who prefer group settings for motivation or need the support and counseling of an expert by their side throughout. 

While The South Beach Detox primarily aims at achieving long-lasting health objectives and developing a more balanced and healthy lifestyle, the benefits both short-term and long-term are multi-dimensional and far-ranging. On the physical front, you'll lose weight, feel lighter, more energetic, boost your immune system in order to prevent the on-set of disease or be better equipped to rid your body of it.  Mentally, you'll be at peace and worry-free; having balanced the energy in your body and replaced old cells with new ones that have attained a perfect state of balance through optimum nutrition. Emotionally, you'll be feeling cleansed and open as you let go of the old feelings and emotions that often keep you feeling a slave to your past.  Spiritually, you'll feel more aware than ever and clear about your priorities and intention for your life.

While our modern and busy lifestyles may leave us feeling like we don't have time for a detox or simply to just relax and reflect on ourselves, it's essential that we shift our perspective, re-prioritize our life and realize the essential values of health and well-being for without them we cannot support other objectives and endeavors.

 “A lot of clients come with health and weight-loss as their primary objectives, others are looking for stress-relief and peace or even a spiritual awakening.  No matter what your objectives are, The South Beach Detox affects you on all levels of your being and it will completely change the way you think about food and nutrition.', says Alessandrina Lerner, co-owner and director of The South Beach Detox.

Unlike other cleansing programs, the four-day detox offered by The South Beach Detox provides the benefits of a real fast without the nutritional deprivation and psychological consequences.  The cleansing program includes optimum nutrition through a live blue-green algae product that taste great and leaves you feeling completely satisfied and satiated.

The South Beach Detox is looking to improve the health and outlook of Miamians all across the board. By day four you'll full of energy, your skin will be glowing like never before and you'll feel a sense of ease and contentment that may have been missing thus far.  With our undivided attention and support, you'll make it through the program like a breeze and it will change your life forever.”

Ranging from just $99 for a home-based basic package up to $299 for a private package, the detox includes all the nutritional and cleansing supplies, yoga, breathing, mantra chanting, and meditation practices as well as a full-size manual and informative tracks to maximize your detox. Private options include one-on-one detox consultations with the detox expert, Fred Busch or Alessandrina Lerner. The education is priceless. Participants will learn about the benefits of cleansing and beyond. “We wouldn’t recommend it or provide it if we didn’t believe in it ourselves,” Alessandrina Lerner. “Being healthy and content is so much more than just not being ‘sick’ or 'depressed'– it’s about putting only the very best stuff into your body so you feel your best all the time.”

The benefits of Fitness & Physical Exercise: 'Move More, Gain Less Weight With Age'

The benefits of Fitness & Physical Exercise: 'Move More, Gain Less Weight With Age'

'High Activity Levels Over Time Reduce Weight Gain With Age', Study Finds

Dec. 14, 2010 -- Keep moving as a young adult and you will likely lessen the dreaded middle-age spread, according to a new study that focused on physical activity and weight gain over time.

'Young adults who maintained a high level of physical activity gained less weight in middle age', found researcher Arlene Hankinson, MD, an instructor of preventive medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of

Medicine in Chicago.

''Activity has an effect, but it doesn't completely eliminate age-related weight gain," she tells WebMD. 'But it does help', she finds, and the benefit appears greater for women, though she is not sure why.

Highly active women gained 13 pounds less over 20 years than women with low activity levels, while highly active men gained 6 pounds less than the men with low activity levels.

The study is published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

While some who hope activity can wipe out age-related weight gain may see the results as discouraging, Hankinson disagrees. "I think it's extremely optimistic news," she says. "It's showing how beneficial activity is in reducing weight gain with age."

Physical Activity and Weight Gain: The Study

Hankinson evaluated 3,554 participants in the CARDIA study, an ongoing study that now has 20 years of follow up.

Participants were ages 18 to 30 at the start of the study. They answered questions about activity at follow-up exams done after two, five, seven, 10, 15, and 20 years.

Hankinson evaluated weight, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference. She took into account such factors as age, alcohol use, and calorie intake.

She looked at the differences in activity levels in two ways: by comparing those in the top level of activity with those in the lowest level and by evaluating those who got 150 minutes or more of moderate to vigorous intensity activity a week. (The 150 minutes of moderate activity is recommended by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.)

When she compared the high activity group with the low? "Women who had low activity gained 33 pounds over the 20 years while women who had high activity gained 20 pounds over the 20 years," she says.

"Men who had low activity gained 28 pounds over the 20 years and men who had high activity gained 22 pounds over the 20 years."

Only 11% of the women and 12% of the men in the highest activity group at the study start kept it up over the 20 years. Over the 20 years, nearly 37% met the 150-minute a week goal.

When she looked at the 150-minute a week group, she found "women who didn't have 150 minutes of physical activity a week gained 32 pounds over 20 years; women who did gained 22 pounds. Men who didn't get 150 minutes gained 29 pounds; men who did gained 26 pounds."

Those in the high activity group also had smaller gains in waist circumference with age.

Physical activity included not just sports and other formal exercise but also occupational activity and home maintenance.

''Physical activity is something everyone can do in some form," Hankinson tells WebMD.

Move More, Gain Less: Second Opinion

The new study findings are scientifically sound and are important, says Tim Church, MD, PhD, director of preventive medicine research at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, La. He reviewed the study findings for WebMD but was not involved in the research.

"It brings some more balance to the discussion [about the obesity epidemic],'' he says. Often, people zero in on food only, he says. "Here's more evidence that physical activity clearly has a role in preventing weight gain. The optimal way to control weight is both through diet and physical activity."

The link found by Hankinson between lesser weight gain among highly active people may be more encouraging than at first glance, he says. He points out that the study followed them only to ages 38 to 50. "I would expect to see bigger group differences [between low and high activity groups] as the groups continue to age," he says.

Minimizing weight gain is just one reason to stay active with age, he says. "You are going to be able to get around easier" if you stay active with age, he says.
