The System for Customized Diets, Fitness, & Stress Management by Tom Fox Exercise PhysiologistFirst the bad news: where there is poor nutrition, no exercise and high stress, there is a range of maladies from heart disease to various cancers.  Not surprisingly, our health care system is mostly a disease-care system that focuses on treatment of these after they happen.

Now the good news: these problems are largely preventable! 

With proper nutrition, exercise, and stress management, we can reverse the chronic problems that lead to life-threatening diseases, but there has to be emphasis on all three because they are inescapably tied together.  Predictably, that’s why most diets fail: focusing on nutrition without exercise or stress management might lose a few pounds temporarily, but the weight loss is not sustainable if other changes are not included. 

Through Tom Fox’s system, consideration is given to an individual’s particular objectives, such as weight loss, higher energy levels or better stress management.  Then a program is developed with appropriate amount and types of food, forms of low- and high-impact exercises, and stress-reduction techniques, all based on an individual’s distinctive lifestyle. 

If you’re a frequent business traveler, could you use some ideas for healthy restaurant or on-the-road eating?  If working 80 hours a week or commuting several hours a day is more your pattern, how about some high-energy, healthy snacks?  Perhaps you are just trying to keep the house in order and maintain the family schedules – a series of stress relievers or a sustainable exercise program would make your days easier to handle.  These are available through the System, a personalized program of recommendations that will improve your health profile and make your life more enjoyable.
