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 […]

Foods and drinks you consume might either aid or impede your recovery from an illness or surgery. You must eat the proper foods, such as superfoods. Each superfood, whether a vegetable, fruit, protein source, or healthy fat, offers something unique to your body. Some of these foods have been demonstrated to help with inflammation, immunological function, healing, and providing the energy you need to get better. 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. At least two servings of fish per week should be included in your diet, with one of those servings coming from an oily fish […]

by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
With the new year around the corner, resolutions are on the minds of many. Every year, millions of people commit to getting in shape; gyms become packed for the first few months, and by spring, they fall back into their old ways. Diets start the same way, but even when we lose weight, it often returns and in some cases with larger numbers. Whether your goal is to lose weight or simply live a healthier lifestyle, these tips will put you on the right path.   Eat a well-balanced diet Eating a well-balanced diet is made up of several factors that, when working together, can help you lose weight.

by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
The vacations are done, kids are back at school, and days are getting shorter again. It’s time to leave your summer behind and get back in the groove of fall fitness and health. I’ve had many people ask me recently how they can get back on the “wellness wagon.” Before you do anything, you must make a decision to do it. It’s that simple. If you let yourself have “just one more” splurge here or there, or wait until Labor Day or once school has been back a few weeks or whatever other excuse you have, you’ll keep pushing out the timeline to get started. Decide to do it and follow through. If it’s harder than you intended, fight for it. It might be hard, but that’s sort of the point. You’re changing from your summer behavior to your fall behavior. So, it’s a bit less, “Lunch Margaritas,” and a bit more “Noon Workout.” Change can be hard. Once you’ve made the decision to get yourself in gear again, decide what needs to be done. Do you need to overhaul your eating habits? Start working out again or more frequently? Cut back on alcohol? Reduce your caffeine intake? Perhaps it’s […]

If you are finding it difficult to take out time for extensive workout sessions, positive results can be experienced from brief and quick hits of activity, such as brisk walking, stair climbing, jumping rope, and high-intensity interval workouts ranging from 8-10 minutes! The holiday is a period of the year that most people prefer to spend on leisure activities, but it can easily become a cause for stress for many, owing to the reduced time available for keeping up with a workout routine.
