What are the health risks of eating the typical Brisbane diet?  
You may be surprised to learn the effect I’m about to list are the typical conditions that we have learned to associate with the ‘normal’ aging process - heart disease, diabetes, cancer, obesity, high blood pressure, migraines, fluctuating energy, bloating and gas, constipation, diarrhea and even dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease. 

You see most people, have never really considered that a large amount of these conditions have a cause other than aging.  Likewise, you may not realize that in many cases there is a way to prevent and assist them. 

The answer?  Detoxing your body and feeding it what it needs for optimal health.

What is Detoxing? 
After years of feeding our body the tox(sick) foods that is so typical in our culture, it is very important to cleanse our system (liver and thyroid) and decrease the inflammation and stress that we have placed it under.  Of course, toxins don’t come just from the food that we eat - we can breathe them, slap them on out skin with personal care and clean with them. 

The good news is that through a smart and effective natural detox program, we can lighten the tox(sick) load that our bodies are under.  

In my next article blog post, I will give you some practical ways that you can cleanse your body and lighten the tox(sick) load that it is under.

To successfully make this happen, we need to have a reasonable strategy that focuses on identifying what and why we want and how we going to do it (with a plan). Remember, the brain will persist in working hard to follow the old pathways (habits), so introducing new ones is going to take a lot more structure, endeavour and energy.  Now you know why our emotional and spontaneous resolutions, are set up for failure before we begin - because shifting a thought for change and converting into action (to change a habit) takes a lot more to apply.

Cool Suggestions On Changing Lifestyle Habits 
We still have just under 3 months to achieve our 2014 goals.  So for the Brisbane Gym | Brisbane Personal Training fanatics,  I have come up with some cool suggestions to help you make positive changes in your life NOW.  I reckon 2015 has already come - :), so no need to hold off til then!  Check out our 21 Day Nutrition Rebalance Spring Clean Challenge.

Focus on the one. You increase your chances to make new lifestyle changes if you keep the “overwhelm myself factor” under total control.  When we try to make change to multiple lifestyle habits “all at once”, this can promptly result in frustration and burnout.  I suggest you focus on one specific area that you would like to change, and centre your energy there for around 21 Days. This will instil the habit…

Small steps go a “loooong way”.  I’m not suggesting that you should not maintain big, brave goals.  Of course you should.  I see big goals like a mountain, and the best way we get to the top is one step at a time.  That’s why you should set a goal, and then break it down into smaller manageable portions.  If your seeking to further improve your health start by ensuring you drink 1 litre of water for your every 25kgs of body weight every day.  When you’ve successfully achieved this for 21 days straight without forgetting, and you feel confident it is part of your normal habit, add in a new small step habit…perhaps, eating at least 5-6 smaller meals/snacks each day.  When you’ve achieved success with that add another small step habit, and keep moving forward from there…

Plan for red lights and roadblocks.  I always say to my Brisbane Personal Training clients, healthy lifestyle habits are about managing past red lights and road block – the more of them, while you are changing to a healthier lifestyle, the better – this means you will preserve the new changes because you have control.  Seriously, what’s the likelihood that we can drive from the northside of Brisbane to the Brisbane Southside and have all 20 or so traffic lights be green? And then doing it day after day?…  Hardly a chance – so lets get real! The unexpected WILL happen, so embrace this concept rather than 
lose control and get frustrated with life.  I suggest you focus on a solutions when the unexpected happens. The best way I do this is anticipate what are potentially going to be the red lights and road blocks, and then develop a simple strategy to manage it.  Of course, sometimes we cant anticipate the unexpected and it arrives before we know it..  I suggest you don’t panic, give yourself the next 24hours to work it out (I learnt not to get cornered to making rash decisions within the first 24 hours) , and if by that stage you are stuck, contact your Brisbane personal trainer for support – that’s what we are here for… Having a process like this in effect hardwires the habit to account for those things that would throw the habit off.  Here is a real life scenario I used have to deal with (and still do at time) quite often.  Lets say you want to avoid unhealthy sweets and food at functions but know that eventually someone is going to bring in something that will tempt you.  You know that no matter how much you say no, people are going to insist with typical frustrating phrases like ‘cmon its only this time’ of ‘you gotta enjoy life’.  You get the picture.  Well, I make a deal with myself prior to attending as to whether its an option (ie my cheat day) and then I drum up a convincing pass back statement that will diffuse any persisting people – for example “I’ve had an upset tummy all day, I don’t want to risk it”, “I’ve been recommended not to for the next three days”, or “I’m having a health analysis check done in a few days and I need to lay off the carbs, so that it doesn’t adversely affect results”.  I’m sure you get the gist of it – the point is, don’t let yourself get caught off guard.

Shift it to the visual.  I believe the more ways you can make your goals for lifestyle changes real and tangible, the greater the chance for success.  Why not place calendar or chart in a visually seen place.  Whenever you successfully achieve your new habit, indicate it on that date.  This will set the platform for seeing a visual cue of your past success and achievement, and will be undoubtedly motivated and focused on staying on track to keep working on your new neural pathways habitual changes.  Clearly you will be able to visually see a connection of achievement on your calendar forming a “chain of success.”

Be crystal clear on your “why” Let’s be real: chances are you are going to want to give in to pressure or challenges or through laziness at some point.  Clearly, if you don’t have a strong enough “why” in front of you, you will not achieve the life change that you are seeking.  Be serious about spending some time reflecting about why you want to create a new habits.
Reflect on questions such as:
     What attracts you to your goal? 
     How will your life change when you reach your goal? 
     What are the consequences of not reaching your goal? 
     What will significant others say about you when you successfully achieve your goal? 
     What kind of meaningful regrets will you have if you quit before you achieve? 

I’m certain, each of the above questions will help you clarify why you are focusing so hard towards your inspiration, and they will certainly help you push past any rough patches.

In summary, the great news is that while some of the old habits may continue to circulate in your brain, you have the power to build new circuits that can certainly become as strong as the old ones, if not stronger.  It’s really up to you, your planning and structure.  So the moral of this blog post, when you apply what I have suggested above, you have not just made and kept a New Year’s Resolution, instead, you have made a significant channel forward to change your life.
