Exercise – that’s why it’s good for the elderly

According to Harvard researchers, we shouldn’t stop exercising when we are older. It is our body that asks for it … Stop exercising and physical activity as an elderly person? No, this is not a good idea: we humans have evolved so that we can be active even in the so-called third age. To say it is a very serious study from Harvard University … Exercise as an elderly person – A team of evolutionary biologists and biomedical researchers from the famous American university – which also included Aaron Baggish, the cardiologist of the American national football team – a few days ago presented a series of evolutionary and biomedical evidence showing that keeping active even in old age is foreseen precisely by that complex and wonderful mechanism which is evolution. According to scholars, we human beings have evolved to remain active all our life and doing physical activity later in the years causes the body to use the energy it accumulates with food in the right way, instead of using it against itself. This mechanism protects us from chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and even some types of cancer. Being active even in old age: […]

How to get good at exercise: The secret is right in front of you

by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments tags: becoming stronger through repetition, expecting different results, how to get good at exercise, particular set of exercises, process and results in lifting, secret is right in front, small world outside the gym
There’s a saying popular in the small world outside the gym that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. That if an approach doesn’t work, try another one. Inside the gym, what works is what gets you somewhere. How you get there is much less important than showing up. So what’s the relationship between process and results in lifting? At first blush, the sport feels like a chase. We work out to reach goals: getting strong, looking good. So much of what we focus on and measure — heavy poundage in a powerlifting competition, body fat percentage, the size of your quads — are numbers we’re striving to reach. But while chasing results might be what gets us to start lifting, the sport is all about the process. More specifically, it’s about repetition. For all of the variety of programs people take on to reach their various goals, we all generally follow the same rough path — progressive overload via selected exercises, done over time — to get there. It’s not like the real world: the repetitive process shouldn’t just be rejected if things aren’t working. Rather, it should be […]

Calment lived 43.14 years longer than most Americans, which is quite a big difference. Blowing out 122 candles is not a common occurrence, and Calment was actually the oldest person in the entire world, making her the only individual on record to kick up her heels and celebrate more than 120 years on planet earth.

If you thought your sleeping position can only help you deal with those nagging aches and pains or aid in better sleep, then you would be amazed to know sleeping in a particular position can also work wonders for chronic constipation. Nutritionist Pooja Makhija recently took to Instagram to share a simple and effective hack to tackle persistent constipation in people. Chronic constipation is irregular bowel movement or difficulty in passing stools that persists for several weeks or longer. You have constipation when you are having fewer than three bowel movements a week. If you have been dealing with lumpy or hard stools and having a hard time emptying your bowels for a long time now, you can try this hack. Makhija recommends side sleeping for relief from constipation and explains how it works in her social media post. Several studies vouch for the benefits of side sleeping in this regard. Here’s how this sleeping position helps with chronic constipation. “Although our bodies are largely symmetrical on the outside, the placement of our organs internally is largely asymmetrical. Therefore, left side sleeping aids movement of the faecal matter. Gravity causes the faecal matter to move from the ascending colon into […]

6 Natural Ways to Lower Blood Pressure

by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
Lifestyle changes critical to proper BP control One in three U.S. adults has high blood pressure, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This means the force of blood pushing against their artery walls is too high, which can damage the arteries and greatly increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, heart failure and kidney failure. Lowering systolic blood pressure to a maximum of 120 mmHg has been shown to reduce these risks. There are two ways to accomplishing this: lifestyle changes and medications. While some people can lower blood pressure with lifestyle changes alone, the two approaches are complementary. “Blood pressure management is 70% lifestyle and 30% medications. If you don’t make lifestyle changes, don’t bother taking blood pressure medications, because they won’t work effectively,” says preventive cardiologist Luke Laffin, MD.   How to lower blood pressure naturally The term “lifestyle changes” implies you will need to change your habits to bring your blood pressure down. Broadly speaking, these modifications are natural — non-pharmaceutical — ways of lowering blood pressure. Six methods have been proven effective in clinical studies, and two others are recommended:   1. Eat less salt “Cutting your salt intake is probably the most […]
