With that being said, you would obviously want to get a healthier way of introducing protein in your body sans the side effects. So without further ado, here’s how you get it: 1. Meat: Second to protein supplements, meat is the most popular source of protein among gym-goers and fitness enthusiasts, and we aren’t surprised why.

We know it’s not just about living longer, it’s about living healthily and happily for longer. Follow our top 10 tips for ageing better.   1. Watch what you eat and drink It sounds obvious, but having a balanced diet is crucial for good health, energy and preventing illness. An ideal diet should be low in saturated fat, with lots of fruit and vegetables, wholegrains, oily fish, and small amounts of low-fat dairy and lean meat. Don’t forget to top-up with lots of water to avoid dehydration, which can make you feel tired and confused. Tea, coffee and fruit juice will also help you to stay hydrated, but avoid sugary fizzy drinks. If you drink alcohol, keep at least two days per week booze-free to give your liver time to recover from the toxic effects of alcohol, and don’t exceed recommended daily limits for alcohol consumption.   2. Look after your teeth Brush your teeth twice a day and floss daily. Floss helps to prevent gum disease by removing pieces of food and plaque from between the teeth. If it’s left to build up you might notice sore or bleeding gums, and gum disease can also be linked to diabetes, […]

Tips and shortcuts to help you eat well when you can’t be bothered cooking after work

by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
Cooking can be hard. Particularly when you’ve come out of two years of intermittent lockdowns and are still living through one of the most severe health crises of our time. Which is perhaps why a tweet I haphazardly flung into the universe about not being able to summon the energy to cook after physically commuting into the office struck a chord with people. I received many tips and hacks, many more expressions of people experiencing the same struggle. Anecdotal evidence isn’t the only thing underlining our collective inability to cook at the moment. An UberEATS report from March 2021 revealed that Australians were spending 210 per cent more on food delivery than before the pandemic, even as in-venue dining returned. This is at odds with the significant shift in how people fed themselves while in lockdown. Research showed that as people spent more time at home and less time doing everything else that a regular life entails – socialising, exercising, commuting to the office, recreational activities – their food consumption became more sustainable and healthier. They ate more fruit and vegetables, bought local, reduced their household food wastage, improved their culinary capabilities, and used online deliveries not for readymade food, […]

Here we are going to look at 10 of those things, which are really common sense, but over looked all the same: 1. Water: Health experts tell us that we need no less than eight to ten 8 ounce glasses daily. This doesn’t all come from just glass after glass of water. It can come from the beverages and foods you consume as well. A rule-of-thumb is drink an 8 ounce glass of before each meal. Sometimes that feeling of hunger is dehydration. 2. Fruit: The daily recommendation of having plenty of fresh fruits doesn’t have to be at meal time. Grabbing a piece of fruit between meals is recommended too. 3. Protein: Each meal should have protein included such as beans, fish and red meat. If you can’t eat a full meal, there are protein bars and protein shakes that are good for your body too. 4. Avoid: The foods you should cut back on or avoid altogether are instant oatmeal, potatoes of any kind and white breads. These things turn to sugar quickly and your body […]
