Lifestyle Changes for Managing Obesity

by kevin in Healthy Living 0 comments
To manage obesity, you have to make various lifestyle changes that may be difficult. To maintain weight, you will be required to burn the exact amount of calories you consume. To lose weight, you are supposed to burn more calories than the ones you eat. Your body will burn calories as you continue to do your normal bodily functions that assist you to stay alive. Workouts, besides burning calories, also build your muscles hence increasing the amount of calories you use in your normal body functions. It is important to decrease the number of calories you take in and increase your physical activity to beat obesity effectively. Discuss with your doctor about a program that will help you in losing weight. It is easier to accomplish your goals if you participate in a program. A program needs to include some strategies such as exercise, diet, counseling and medicine. Your doctor may refer you to an athletic trainer or dietitian for a more personalized assistance. Dietary changes Dietary trends might make a type of nutrient seem more vital that the others when dieting. This is evident when comparing a low-carb diet, Mediterranean diet or the low-fat diet. However, research hasn’t ruled […]

Here are ten superfoods to heal your body.   10. SMASH Fishes Sardines, mackerel, anchovies, salmon, and herring (SMASH) are noted for having low mercury and other toxic levels and being high in omega-3 fatty acids. We need to fuel the brain with these omega-3 fats that enhance mood and focus since 60 percent of the brain is fat. SMASH fishes are also anti-inflammatory. Luckily, SMASH fishes are readily available in stores. If you can’t locate them, consider other low-toxin options, including canned light tuna, trout, catfish, pollock, and shellfish.

10 Ways to Improve Your Health

by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
How can you lead a healthier life – simply? Here are 10 health tips!   1. Eat slowly Did you know that eating too quickly can cause weight gain? According to research, faster eaters are more likely to be overweight, as compared to people who eat more slowly. In one study, it was also suggested that this is 115% more likely to happen in middle-aged women. As you eat, your body releases ‘fullness hormones’ that tell your brain you’ve eaten and should stop. However, as this process takes about 20 minutes, speedy eaters may consume too much food and only receive this signal later – which explains the ‘post-buffet bloat’ you may feel after a satisfying meal. The next time you’re having a meal, make a conscious effort to eat slower and observe the effect on your appetite.   2. Drink more water You may have heard of the saying to “drink 8 glasses of water a day”, yet not many may actually follow this, often choosing to count their total liquid intake instead – which usually includes sodas, coffee, and other beverages. Your body isn’t made up of soft drinks and beers, however. Depending on age, about 60% of […]

20 Effective Health and Fitness Tips

by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
There is no shortcut to a healthy state, no magic fruit that lets you hit your five-a-day target and no single exercise that gives you a shredded physique in minutes. It takes time and effort to get in shape and stay in shape. But if you follow these tips you’ll be able to reap the benefits (for they are legion) with a little less struggle.   1. Prep For Success The fast track to a better diet is found by using your weekends wisely. Use the extra time you have on Saturday and Sunday to meal prep, making large batches of healthy meals that you can portion up to cover at least a couple of midweek lunches and dinners, avoiding the dietary perils of takeaways and meal deals.   2. Mix Up Your Exercise Variety is – cliché alert! – the spice of life, and many sports and activities support each other in ways you won’t realise until you try it. For example, strength training for your legs and core will make you a better runner, while those addicted to dumbbells will find Pilates works muscles they’d never even considered.   3. Adjust Targets On Trackers If you invest in […]

Top 10 Nutrition Tips

by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
Healthy Tip 1: Set yourself up for success To set yourself up for success, think about planning a healthy diet as a number of small, manageable steps rather than one big drastic change. If you approach the changes gradually and with commitment, you will have a healthy diet sooner than you think. Simplify. Instead of being overly concerned with counting calories or measuring portion sizes, think of your diet in terms of color, variety, and freshness. This way it should be easier to make healthy choices. Focus on finding foods you love and easy recipes that incorporate a few fresh ingredients. Gradually, your diet will become healthier and more delicious Start slow and make changes to your eating habits over time. Trying to make your diet healthy overnight isn’t realistic or smart. Changing everything at once usually leads to cheating or giving up on your new eating plan. Make small steps, like adding a salad (full of different color vegetables) to your diet once a day or switching from butter to olive oil when cooking. As your small changes become habit, you can continue to add more healthy choices to your diet. Small Changes Matter. Every change you make to […]
