by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
Living your healthiest life starts right now   Maintaining a lifestyle that finds balance between eating well, exercising enough and being satisfied with it can be tricky. It’s easy to under or overdo it, which is never good for you. Finding middle ground is not just healthier but can also be maintained in the long term, unlike a crash diet or juice cleanse. These 6 tips can help you find that balance so that your healthy lifestyle benefits your body and mind.   1. Eat Mindfully It’s important to distinguish between eating when you’re hungry and eating for the sake of it. When you’re stressed, angry or happy, avoid using food as a coping mechanism as it’s a habit that can easily go out of control and lead to eating disorders in the future. Turn off the TV and social media while eating as it will only distract you further. Be mindful of the food you’re eating, which will allow you to understand when you’ve eaten enough.   2. Schedule Exercise You’ve heard about the importance of exercise over and over again and that’s because it is just that important. Regular exercise isn’t just beneficial to the body but also […]

8 Surprising Foods That Can Help Strengthen Bones

by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
Go beyond dairy to help keep your skeleton healthy   There’s more to healthy bones than calcium-rich milk, although we all know that both milk and foods rich in vitamin D are good for your bones. Bone is living tissue that constantly rebuilds and repairs itself. Alas, after age 50, bones start to lose density and strength and become porous, which leads to a bone disease called osteoporosis that increases the risk of broken bones. Chances of developing osteoporosis are greater if you’re a woman; however, men also risk developing it, especially after age 70. To keep bones strong, we need two nutrients in particular — calcium and vitamin D. Our bodies cannot make calcium, so eating calcium-rich foods is vital. Vitamin D, for its part, helps the body absorb calcium from food and seems to help protect older adults against osteoporosis. Some people don’t have the taste or tolerance for dairy, but a variety of foods can help boost bone health. Although few foods have the calcium levels of dairy, if you combine several of those listed below, you can get a full day’s worth. And other nutrients — such as potassium and vitamin C — are important to […]
