Mole 4U - Dna-For Fitter & Happy Living...

Francis Harry Compton Crick was a physicist, molecular biologist and neuro scientist ? a co-discoverer of the structure of the DNA molecule in 1953. He was awarded the 1962 Nobel Prize jointly with James D. Watson and Maurice Wilkins for discovering the molecular structure of nuclei acids and the importance for information transfer in living matter.

DNA is an abbreviation for Deoxyribonucleic Acid. Since its discovery, a new page has evolved in scientific history where old questions have a new and different yet startling answers. It has mostly improved human life and thinking. It has brought the past under a clear microscopic view and the present to advancement in every field. This 3 letters have tremendously altered and will renew many aspects of living. You can pronounce it as ?de nah?

In my early years , I always had an ?addiction? for staying slim. To me staying slim means staying fit. I would never had a day without a 30 minutes jog around my living estate. The day I felt bored was the day when I did not go for a run. I was obsessed with it.

In child hood I was very playful. Not hyper but playful. Like most children. I played lots of games and my favourite was all of them. I thought this might be the reason for my being active in later life. But then my peers were not as ?slim conscious? as me. They would have been playful too like all children. And they were not excercising at all! A friend wondered how I had the desire to run everyday while he had the desire to eat anything he wanted. Despite this weak encouragement from friends I just run and burnt off that fat with delight.

My son who is now 17 years of age does not have the desire of running but has the desire to be as tall as Mr Dwayne Douglas Johnson-?Mr Rock?. My son is greatly influenced by the World Wrestling Entertainment championship matches in television. He had been jumping like a kangaroo. Well at least he has the desire to stay tall. I think his DNA is an improved version. My two daughters are still young and my eldest who just turned 16 in fact won a 1st prize in school running competition when she was 13. First participation and won. Her interest in running could have faded. Must be her pressure in school work which is taking a lot of her time. I did not notice anything in my third child and she is only 8 years old.

In one incident, I had forgotten to bring my wallet work. I told my office land rover driver to give me a lift and alight me at the nearby road so that I could run to my house to get my wallet back. No wallet no money. The driver kindly agreed. Once I reached home, I took my belonging from the drawer swiftly and came running back towards where the rover was parked as I did not want to affect my colleague's plan for the day?s work. My working colleague who was sitting behind the rover back seat looked at me with curiosity. I thought my private problem had somewhat irritated him slightly,

Surprisingly, he told me that ?you ran all the way to your home and returned so quickly??I replied, ?yeah?. He said ?you are a fast runner and you are not panting at all, very fit huh?. That was it. I was so happy to hear this. The first and only encouragement I get from a public and this pushed me to pursue with my passion- running! I kept running.

That was back in 1983 where after a clerical job in a bank for about 6 months, I joined a more ?manly job? in the Singapore Land Authority(formerly known as the Land Office) where I had all the the leisure time for my piece of cake ? running.

As I had got married in 1988 and changed to a more vibrant job in estate management I found that I could not find time for my passion . In 1995 my passion gradually came to a standstill. When my children came into my life, I did not sharpen my organisation skill to find time to pursue with my passion. The river has stopped flowing. It has frozen and became a glazier.

The year 2001 is a year with a difference. After 11 years of married life. I joined another company in estate management and I was given a project in managing a warehouse building. It was a fantastic project where everything fell into place. I had a good working team. My assistant really took care of the building and this freed me and let me had the time to divert my attention to staying slim. This time I was going high tech.

I joined a fitness centre known as Planet Fitness in 2002 for an annual fee of 900 dollars. But I did not care about the money. All I need is to burnt off my accumulated fats all over me. When I joined my burden was 90 kilogram. When I left the fitness in 2003, a year later my weight has dropped to nearly whopping 20 kilogram! I did not realise this drop in my weight until I took a photograph of me and my son (which I will post this later). It was an amazing feeling.

My profile of my body features has changed drastically. I could not believe myself. I was ineffably happy.I am not saying that the fitness centre improved my weight problem but I did 3 things for the fantastic improvement to my physique. The 3 factors are De ? Exercise,Never Over Eat and Adore Thyself. The DNA for fitter and happy life.

The word ?de? means ?do or make the opposite of ?. For example the word centralise means to cluster together or concentrate in one place. To ?de centralise? means to do the opposite that is ?to disperse?. Another example will be the word ?regulate? which means ?to rule? or ?to control?. To ?de regulate? means the opposite which means ?to remove such control?. I can go on with other examples but it comes to the same point I am making.

I use this new word ?de exercise? which means to do the opposite of exercise. To not to exercise. But in reality we are actually exercising every moment even while we are sitting down without doing anything. To understand my proposition we need to fly to outer space.

In outer space, there is microgravity or zero gravity- weightlessness.Which means , what goes up comes down quite late or in fact very late. When the heart pumps blood to the head, micro gravity slows it when it downstreams. The blood returning back from top down slows down. As a result there is decreased production of red blood cells which leads to poor nourishment to all parts of body. Likely problem is bone and muscle loss. That is why space travellers do heavy resistant exercise to stay healthy.

In other words, while on earth a slight movement of your cells means your body is ?execising? as long your heart is good and pumping blood to the rest of your body. So when you ?de exercise? your are actually taking care of your heart by not doing anything. But you are exercising!

In actual life, you are doing something everyday. You are living. While I am typing at this moment means I am doing some form of exercise. If I feel thirsty and wanted toget a cup of water, I am doing ?walking exercise? to get the water. Drinking is an exercise. Stretch your arms if you feel tired and you are exercising! All these are done unconsciously. But still you are exercising. Living is actually an exercise. Thanks to gravity. Just hold on, I am going down to the shop to get my news paper. Exercise again!

A 10 kilogram of extra weight is the equivalent of a whopping 320,000 kilojoules- but spread over a year, that works out to a mere 875 kj per day. Take a brisk 13-minutes walk with your pet dog or a good friend and you will lose 420 kj. Indulge yourself with a 20-minutes shopping spree and 470 kj will be lost.Play hide and seek with your children in your garden for 15 minutes and you can lose 485 kj

All the writings in italic, most of the readers will know by now as we are being well informed.But what need to be understood, if you are living, be rest assured that your are indeed exercising. You do not have to do a heavy workout in the gymnasium or do serious aerobics provided you follow all my DNA constantly and concurrently for 365 days. I bet you that your ugly fats will fade away from your beautiful body.

But not to unwind your conditioned mind, let me introduce an equipment which I think can deliver exceptional results. This one is actually shown in television ad and it works wonders. It is called ?ab slide?. I am not an advertiser for this product but it is easy to use. It is cheap. Try 10 stretches per day and increase by the day.

Stand infront of your mirror naked and ask yourself am I overweight? The profile will tell you the truth. If it is ?yes? then follow my step 1 that is to ?de-exercise?. I am not asking you to exercise. I need you to put in your mind that the very fact you are standing infront of that mirror, you are exercising. By ?de-exercising? and avoiding heavy workout you are actually doing a favour to your already ?hardworking? heart. By ?de-exercising? unneccessary hunger can be prevented. Are you hungry? Don?t go to MacDonalds. Read DNA for slender body step 2- Never Over Eat.

You might be wondering what I did in the fitness. I go around a circuit training using only one plate of weight or zero weight in every weight guided machine and only doing 5 workout in each machine. For example I just did 5 crunches for my tummy. I did go on like this twice in a week 365 days to be exact. But I ?never over eat? for 365 days.

Only Angels never eat. All human beings and living creatures eat. This natural stimuli from the brain telling us to put in food into your mouth to fill up your stomach. Most of the time I see it is not necessary for your body. It has so much fat in it as evidenced by the inflated image where the body can use its fat to burn as energy.

Remember, whatever your brain tells you to do is not necessarily the truth. Control it . If not you will be a slave to your brain for the rest of your lives. If you do not take a stand to fight it, even if you spend thousands of dollars working out in an expensive gymnasium or seeing a professional phisiology it will not work for you. Compete with your brain, fight it now! Fight it by food knowledge.

In a battle field even a best gladiator will lose if he has no weapons. Absence of knowledge about the energy contained in any food means absence of weapons to fight the brain?s persuasion to eat. Feed your soul with the food knowledge : the kilojoules of the food you eat. I do not want to write down all those things here to prevent duplication of information.

Kilojoules information in food is essential for weight watchers. If you take a slow walk for 20 minutes an average of 450 kj will be lost from your body. If you are in an optimum weight then you will be reading this to maintain your body. But if your are obese, then you have to seriously watch that kilojoules intake! The equation for slimmer life is I = O, input equals output. If I is greater than O then your body inflates. Otherwise, it is underweight. I was in the I > O category and I told myself to minimise my intake.

I have an acute sense of observation. Once during lunch hour I went to a restaurant to appease my apetite. It was quite empty and I was able to spot immediately a guy sitting apparently waiting for his meal. My eyes readily focused on his overblown tummy. It was so outstanding!!. Like it was going to blow out like a balloon. It was drastically not in proportion to his body. He looked like a ?d ? in side profile. When the order was placed on his table, luckily I did not swoon from shock. A ?mountain? full of rice was on his plate. I immediately got the answer to my enquiry. His tummy was overblown due to his incessant filling up of rice into his body!!!

I walked out of the restaurant and skipped my lunch. I was thinking, how could the body gets inflated by eating rice meal? I began to do reading on food and its nutrients.I will try to post later on the ABC of Nutrients. For now I will just give you a concept which will drastically improve your conscience of eating. If you follow this formula, you will attain a slimmer body. I call it the Food Code ? F-Code

(Play hide and seek with your children in your garden for 15 minutes and you can lose 485 kj)

(Take a brisk 13-minutes walk with your pet dog or a good friend and you will lose 420 kj)

If you do any of those things above for 16 to 18 minutes, you can shed 458 kj. That?s simple! Now I give you the gist of the matter. What specific food you should avoid?

Food is a fuel to your energy. It becomes fat if it is not used. Input must be equal to output. One such fuel is carbohydrates. I reduce my weight from 90 kg to 70 kg in a period of 365 days with a workout of 15 to 20 minutes - a simple routine movements of the machine. In most of the machines I did not put a single weight on it. I will give one secret with this. I forgo rice in my daily meals totally for those 365 days. I only survived on a simple bread meal 3 times a day. My wife is the witness.

Avoiding food containing drastic amount of carbohydrates will be helpful in shedding the extra pounds of flesh all around you. Carbohydrates will be changed into glucose in the body for energy. Extra glucose is stored as gycogen in muscle cells. If not used it becomes fat. The theory of ?de-exercise? works good if food containing carbohydrates are taken with minimal intake. If this is done then you will have maximum results.

The amount of thyroxine in the body also a factor in burning the fats. Thyroxine is produced when iodine is converted in the thyroid glands. It is a known scientific fact that the absence of iodine leads to goitre. Swelling of the thyroid glands. Thyroxine will increase your metabolism rate. The higher the metabolism rate the higher the rate energy is burnt in the body. So next time you see a table salt on the table ? do not ignore it.

There are two things you need to do to stay happy and fitter. You have to appreciate physiology and psychology. You move about with your physical features to stay slimmer and feel ?healthy? by using your mind. If you have a beautiful body and do not have a beautiful mind it is no use. ?Disease? of the mind is an equal disaster to human living as the disease in the body.

The basic needs of a human being is food(f) clothing( c ) and shelter (s). One fine day after waking up and realise that the whole world has thrown out this fcs when man felt that he does need food as he is being genetically tuned not to feel hungry. Genetically tuned not to feel shy of nakedness, and his body will not be affected by the climate that surrounds him do you think all his needs are extinguished? There is one more remain that will be there with him. That is the feeling of being acknowledged or welcomed by his fellow human beings.When the first man was created, God has brought him in front of the Angels for that piece of ?welcoming party?. Be welcomed.

Acknowledgment of ?self? precedes acknowledgment by others. I use the word adore for acknowledgement as adore is a better word. To adore your ?self? means to regard with or feel utmost esteem, love, and respect; honor for your ?self ?

If you begin to love and respect your ?self? your interpretation of external information will be different. Happiness begin to bloom like a flower when this is done. It will be a major factor for the purpose of happiness. Even if your body rots you will be happy if you adore thy ?self ?

A body will not function to the optimum if there is a weak heart. The heart of happiness lies in adoring the ?self?. I am not going to teach the readers to go to the banyan tree and to do a meditation like Buddha. Neither am I going to persuade them to climb to the highest peak to attain this feeling. If the Angels can be denied of their status for not ?adoring? adam what more can happen to us if we fail to know and adore our ?selves?. Self awareness is one thing but adoring that ?self? will totally change your lives for the better. What is the instant way of adoring the ?self?. Here it is.

Have you ever looked up to the sky for an answer. Do it at night. No I am not asking you to meditate again. Immediately you will gaze the many sparkling stars. So what is so sparkling about you. What are the things that you will find ?within? that make you respect, love and honour the ?self?. Perhaps ask a question to that self ?what is good about you?? The self replies ?well I?m a good writer, analyser, speaker, problem solver, painter, well wisher, lover, energizer and controller of your mind, dreamer, a good spirit, player, listener, teacher, seer of spirit through a body, motivator, pusher when your body becomes weak, holder of a positive mirror to deflect all negativity, ??etc?. Then your reply must be ? I love, respect and honour you!?

To get a fitter and happy life is a choice and not by chance. When you take care of the physiology of the body and psychology of the self you can reach even the wildest dreams or goals in life.
