The Importance of Resistance Training

When people think of resistance or weight training, they might picture a bodybuilder or other extreme athlete. However, all body types benefit from resistance training. This type of exercise not only builds and strengthens muscles, but it also burns calories both during and after the workout. Many overweight people surprise themselves at how strong they already are and this helps motivate them to continue this type of exercise program.

Weight training also strengthens the tendons and ligaments in your joints, helping to reduce joint pain. And, performing weight training exercises builds stronger bones to help prevent osteoporosis.

Walnuts

Nuts tend to be high in calories and fat, but their monounsaturated fat is better for you than the saturated fat found in meat and dairy. In fact, high levels of omega-3 fatty acids actually make them a heart-healthy ally. Bonus: walnuts carry some of the highest antioxidant content of any nut. Add them to cereals, yogurt, or breads. But don’t overdo it – the calorie count can pile up fast.
