by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
In today’s time and day, the word ‘plant-based’ is not unusual to hear, especially in the fitness and wellness world. Even though this term is commonly thrown around, many people still have numerous misconceptions about its actual meaning. For starters, people think that being vegan is the same as having a plant-based diet. Let’s stop you right there. In this post, you’ll come to learn about what exactly a plant-based diet is, its pros and cons, and how to incorporate it into your daily eating habits. Scroll down to read.   The Truth About a Plant-Based Diet For your information, choosing a plant-based diet means that you are increasing your consumption of fruits, veggies, nuts, and seeds to live a happy, healthy life. The most common reason for opting for this diet is to reduce the risks of heart disease, and blood pressure, and more importantly improve your overall well-being. There are many food items that typically fall under a plant-based diet. It is basically identified as a food pattern that consists of vegetables, fruits, legumes, and grains.

Stronger Muscles in 3 Seconds a Day

by admin in Workouts 0 comments
Could three seconds a day of resistance exercise really increase muscular strength? That question was at the heart of a small-scale new study of almost comically brief weight training. In the study, men and women who contracted their arm muscles as hard as possible for a total of three seconds a day increased their biceps strength by as much as 12 percent after a month. The findings add to mounting evidence that even tiny amounts of exercise — provided they are intense enough — can aid health. I have written about the unique ways in which our muscles, hearts, lungs and other body parts respond to four seconds of strenuous biking, for instance, or 10 seconds of all-out sprinting, and how such super-short workouts can trigger the biological responses that lead to better fitness. But almost all of this research focused on aerobic exercise and usually involved interval training, a workout in which spurts of hard, fast exertion are repeated and interspersed with rest. Far less research has delved into super-brief weight training or whether a single, eyeblink-length session of intense resistance exercise might build strength or just waste valuable seconds of our lives. So, for the new study, which […]

by admin in Workouts 0 comments
Wouldn’t you just love to be someone who regularly practises yoga at home, effortlessly? Here are some tips to help you get started. Ashtanga Guru Pattabhi Jois’ most famous quote is “Practice and all is coming”. With these words, I believe he means that by consistently opening the body and mind through yoga, truth reveals itself to you in time, and with truth comes a deep peace. For many of us, a regular yoga practice may be a difficult thing to establish. Here are some tips to help you get started.   1. Create a comfortable spot for your yoga practice If you have an extra room that you can devote to your yoga, great! Having your yoga mat unrolled and out all the time is certainly inviting. Most of us, however, have to be more flexible and create a space when we want to practise. Try and find a spot where it’s peaceful and quiet, with as much space around you as possible. An empty piece of wall can be handy too since the wall is a great prop. If you like, it can be nice and even helpful to create some atmosphere with a candle or an incense stick. Things like […]

7 ways to help over-worked and over-exercised muscles recover faster

by admin in Mind & Body 0 comments
As we get older, our energy levels dip. This includes our cellular energy produced by the powerhouse of the cell, the mitochondria. Cellular energy allows our body to perform essential functions and our muscles to move. Unfortunately, mitochondrial function declines with age, reducing cellular energy and causing muscle fatigue. However, there are several strategies to promote muscle recovery, one of the easiest being taking mitochondria-boosting supplements.   Powering our muscles Everything is made up of energy; it is the building block of all matter. Cellular energy is a specific type of energy that is created by the mitochondria, which convert glucose and oxygen into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a process known as respiration. This process is so essential that mitochondria can take up as much as 25% of cell volume. ATP actually transports the chemical energy produced by respiration and it is known as the ‘energy currency of life’. The mitochondria must produce large amounts of ATP as it cannot be stored in cells; a healthy person at rest can produce their body weight in ATP every day!. Cellular energy is required for the body to perform three main tasks: to fuel metabolic reactions, to transport molecules across membranes and for […]

Stamina vs. Endurance — Differences, Importance, and How To Improve

by admin in Workouts 0 comments
Turn into a machine by improving your strength and endurance.   If there were an award for the most misunderstood and misused words in the fitness sphere, it would go to stamina and endurance. These words are often used interchangeably. While stamina and endurance share similarities, there are differences between the two. This article dives into these terms, their differences, their importance, and how you can improve your stamina and endurance to make the most of your workouts.   Stamina is your physical and mental ability to sustain an activity for a long duration at maximum or near maximum force. Endurance, on the other hand, refers to your physical capability to sustain an exercise for an extended period.   Endurance comprises two components — cardiovascular and muscular. Cardiovascular endurance is your heart and lungs’ ability to fuel your body with oxygen. On the other hand, muscular endurance is your muscles’ ability to work without getting tired. Let’s take squats as an example. If you have to perform one squat per second, your stamina will determine how many squats you can perform at a uniform rate. On the flip side, your endurance will dictate how many squats you can do before […]
