The Magic Approach     

The magic-theory often incorporates restricted-calorie starvation diets, pills, hypnosis, pre-packaged foods, etc. You may remember the infamous liquid-diets, grapefruit diets, amphetamine diet pills, the Hollywood Diet, Scarsdale Diet Plans and most recently the "fen-phen" diet fad.
The magic theory approach is appealing because it requires no responsibility. You simply fall into a "system" and "they" tell you what to do. You don't even need to think. (You just need to suffer). The system has all the answers. And if you fail, well, then it's your fault because you weren't a good "dieter." The magic-theory has left millions of people in hopeless despair (and hungry) in their never-ending quest to be thin.

Meanwhile, beneath the clamor of misleading advertising, dieting "gurus" and multilevel weight-loss schemes, the Fitness Industry has quietly and methodically helped millions of people throughout the world achieve long-term weight-management and fitness goals. How? By using common sense!     Weight-management programs designed by fitness professionals focus on two primary elements -- proper nutrition and productive exercise.
Fitness experts focus on body-composition (body-fat vs. lean mass) instead of body weight.
You'll also find that many fitness organizations emphasize the physiological aspect of weight-management as opposed to the psychological side. This makes sense since most fitness experts receive their training in exercise physiology, nutrition or other life sciences related to the physical world.

Harry Standel , president of Sevar Corporation , a New England construction firm , has set out to establish the first housing development composed exclusively of Health Houses , the term used by the American Lung Association .(ALA)                                                                                  

Indoor air  is now typically two to five times more polluted than outdoor air,estimates the Enviromental Protection Agency.                                   

The building criteria followed by Standel and other builders of the Health Houses focus on moisture, ventilation , and air filtration.To reduce pollen and dust buildup, houses are constructed  with hard surface floors instead of wall to wall carpeting.To reduce condensation and the resulting mold and mildew ducts are placed within the insulated portion of the house rather than in the basement or attic.And a continuous flow of fresh air keeps the house well ventilated.                                                                                                

If you would like to build your own Health House or renovate an existing home to meet Health House standards, the ALA will work with you or your builder-evaluating your blueprints and building materials, and testing your house for air quality  .
