Skin Care for Men: What You Need To Know

by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
Skin care for men doesn’t have to be complicated Perhaps you’re an outdoorsy kind of guy — spending lots of time in the sun, exposed to the elements. Or you’re the casual, more indoorsy type. Maybe you’re clean-shaven or sporting a full beard. No matter your style or lifestyle, taking care of your skin is important. “A lot of men have the common misconception that skin care needs to be really complicated, but it doesn’t have to be,” says dermatologist Jane Wu, MD. “You can have a simple regimen that’s easy to follow as part of your daily routine.” Dr. Wu shares what kind of products are important for keeping your skin fresh and healthy, along with both a simple and more advanced routine for men who’re interested in leveling up.   Choosing the right skin care products  In people designated male at birth (DMAB), the dermis layer of their skin tends to be thicker and tougher than in people designated female at birth (DFAB). This causes deeper, furrowed wrinkles from repeated muscle movement. Testosterone can also make your skin more oily. But Dr. Wu says picking the right skincare products isn’t about gender as much as it’s about figuring out […]

If you find it difficult to stay healthy around the holidays, you’re not alone. Maintaining healthy lifestyle goals and avoiding sicknesses is especially difficult during the holiday season with busy schedules, family gatherings, stressful budgets, and yummy holiday treats. The holidays are meant for fun, fellowship, and food. So try to enjoy as much as you can while still maintaining your health and taking care of your wellbeing.   Here are five simple tips to keep you happy and healthy this holiday season: Tip #1: Manage your stress Stress is a normal part of the holiday season. Planning gatherings, budgeting for gifts, balancing social commitments, and missing loved ones can all add to the stress of the holidays. Take care of yourself this year by setting reasonable expectations, focusing on what’s really important, and accepting help from friends and family. You can try relaxation techniques like breathing exercises, yoga, and mindfulness, which is when you focus on living in the moment. Mindfulness can be as simple as sitting outside and noticing the sights and sounds around you. Also, although your schedule is busy, make sure to pencil in some time for sleep. A good night’s rest can help you concentrate […]

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

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 […]

Everyone wants to have a body that implements fitness. The active, healthy body that is key to happiness. But if we make bad choices in the things we do, the things we drink and eat, it can lead to bad health and unhappiness. There are some easy things we can do that can turn into beneficial habits to save us from serious health diseases such as cardiac arrest, cerebral stroke, liver malfunction, lung disease and renal failure just to name a few. While there may be more rules and these rules could be covered in more depth, here we share just a sampling: Consume Healthy Foods: Every parent should start their child with healthy eating habits from the very beginning, but it needs to continue after they are out of the baby food stage. When they begin eating table food, it should contain the fresh fruits and vegetables that we learn as adults we should have been eating all along. A balanced meal should have a balance of carbs, proteins and whole grains. This means minimal amounts of fats, good portions of whole grains and tons of fruits and vegetables. Choosing chicken over red meat and minimize the amount of […]

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. You should not fry these fishes, or you risk not getting the maximum nutrients. Steam, grill, or bake them instead.
