The brain is a very important organ. It’s the control center of your body and allows you to move, think, feel, breathe and more. Because the brain has such a big job, it’s imperative that we provide it with an abundance of fuel and nutrients to help it function properly and stay healthy. The foods we eat play a huge role in the structure and health of our brains. Research shows that foods rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, flavanols, polyphenols and omega-3 fatty acids can help protect your brain. They can help to improve memory, concentration and overall brain health. Additionally, research has shown that following the MIND diet, a mashup of the Mediterranean diet and the DASH diet that promotes eating specific brain-healthy foods, can help reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Many of the foods we’ve included here are also on the MIND diet’s list of best brain foods. Here are six things you should be eating for better brain health. 6 Foods to Eat Every Day for Better Brain Health 1.

One of the most beautiful and liberating aspects of yoga is that you don’t need any fancy equipment or a designated place to practice. Yoga is accessible. The practice meets you where you are – as long as you are willing to approach it. Sometimes it’s just not possible to make it into a studio for class, and many of us may be stuck in our homes looking for the best way to practice. Regardless, developing a home yoga practice and committing to it is a profound tool for deepening into your own personal relationship with yoga. As a practitioner of Ashtanga Yoga primarily, I love the self-led nature of a Mysore practice within a group environment. But, it is not possible for me at this time to practice in a shala setting consistently, so here are some tools that have helped me in my home practice of Ashtanga and Vinyasa Yoga. 1. Stick with a set sequence Practicing the same poses every day repeatedly is a powerful way to keep consistent with your practice. This repetition offers you a clear vantage point from which to watch yourself grow and change. The nature and sequencing of Ashtanga Yoga offers […]

CONCENTRATE FOR 8 SECONDS. These days we’re all about things being faster. That’s why this advice is invaluable: When you really need to remember something, concentrate on it for at least 8 seconds.

The man who Mark Wahlberg recently called “the greatest trainer in the world” shares five exercises that will prime you for any activity When it comes to fitness Gunnar Peterson knows what he’s talking about.

Peterson’s clients train in luxury, at a place where every piece of equipment imaginable is available and the world’s greatest trainer is on hand to show you how to use it.

This is a Quick Training Tip, the best chance to learn how to work in a smarter way so that you get the maximum gains in the least possible time. If you only do straight sets in your gym then you will get average results. The drill to follow: Do one set of an exercise, after which rest, and repeat. This is the best formula for anyone who wants some good amount of gains that is going to be noticeable. Straight sets are more or less effective because the target is only on a single kind of muscle fiber. This is the place where drop sets come in. Also commonly called as the descending sets, strip sets, or simply as “running the rack,” The drop sets is a technique in which one performs multiple sets of a particular exercise using successively lighter loads and at the same time bare minimal to no rest. In doing so, one not only fatigues both types of muscle fibers that are present in our body but also helps to increase the training volume as well as the target muscle’s time under tension and metabolic stress. All of these factors can crank up muscle growth. […]
