At 1UP Nutrition we love fitness, but to us, being fit is about more than just having a great looking body.
\xa0
Lets face it, last year we all realized how important our health is, and for many of us, we realized just how far we were from being healthy.
\xa0
Many health issues begin because the body is already in a non-ideal state to begin with.
\xa0
And the farther your body is from where it should be, the easier it is for more and more health issues to crop up.
\xa0
For example, many people struggle with being too overweight.
\xa0
Being too overweight is one of the worst things you can do to your body, by doing so you put yourself in a position for all kinds of bad things to happen to you. To mention a few:
\xa0
- High blood pressure, which can lead to heart attacks, damaged arteries,and strokes.\xa0
- Decrease of HDL (good) cholesterol, and increase of LDL (bad) cholesterol, which can cause coronary and peripheral artery disease.
- Type 2 diabetes, which can leave you dependent on bottled insulin for the rest of your life.
- Back and joint problems. Having an unnatural amount of weight on the joints can cause them to break down resulting in osteoarthritis.
\xa0
But of course being too overweight isn't the only way to be out of shape.
\xa0
Because of today's sedentary lifestyle, if you don't regularly exercise in some way, your body probably isn’t in an ideal state.
\xa0
And there are still plenty of problems that can affect you because of it.
\xa0
If you often feel like you don’t have enough energy, this could easily be a result of not getting enough exercise.\xa0
\xa0
Exercising increases the cellular process called mitochondrial biogenesis, which is how your body produces energy.
\xa0
If you take a long time to recover from sickness or injuries, if you are constantly stressed, or if you regularly have stomach troubles, this could be a sign that you have a weak immune system.
\xa0
Regular exercise reduces stress and strengthens the immune system by increasing the white blood cell count.
\xa0
To answer the question in the subject line.
\xa0
The reason why we organize things like the 8 Week Transformation Challenge, with \\$50,000 of total cash prizes, is because we want to motivate people to get into a healthy place physically.
\xa0
Not only does being healthy reduce the risk of developing many health problems, but it also raises the quality of your life in general.
\xa0
When you have your body in a place where you wake up feeling good everyday, every part of life becomes more enjoyable, the little things and the big!
\xa0
This is the type of life we want everyone to have! Don't wait sign up for the upcoming challenge today.
