Fortunately, by inserting the following practices into your routine, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of sports-related injuries.   Always Warm Up and Cool Down Before engaging in physical activities, it’s important to prepare your mind and body, which is why warming up is essential. This allows you the opportunity to gradually get your muscles working, increase the heart rate steadily, and it will improve your overall mobility. By warming up, you reduce the likelihood of straining muscles. Cooling down after sports is equally important, as it allows your body to safely dispel built-up waste.

Cooling down is a simple case of roughly ten minutes of less-strenuous activity and stretching.   Practice Correct Technique No matter what sports you take part in, correct posture will be an important aspect because it helps to prevent unnecessary injuries.

Although the term ‘healthy’ has been more often than not attributed towards the physical appearance of a person, it doesn’t tell the whole story. Sure, it is a PART of a person living a healthy life, but it certainly isn’t the whole and sole attribute which defines it. With that being said, here are some of the tips and tricks towards a healthy life (or living, whichever you prefer): 1. No addiction: Addictions are one of the major nasties which deteriorate your health on both your mental and physical. We agree that getting rid of the alcohol you drink every now and then or that cigarette you smoke every time you come home from work isn’t a walk in the park, it is necessary to get rid of that habit in order to progress towards a healthier way of living.

The idea that some extra exercise can protect you from the consequences of dietary vices is a tempting one, but there’s little evidence to support it. We’ve all justified a deep dive into a big bag of chips or a pint of ice cream after a workout by telling ourselves we earned it. But did we really? The idea that spending a few extra minutes on the treadmill protects you from the consequences of dietary vices is a tempting one. Yet there’s little proof that an unhealthy diet can be mitigated by regular exercise — a theory recently tested by a group of researchers from Australia, the U.S., Italy and Norway. Using a large sample of British adults, the multinational team reviewed the impact of exercise and diet, independently and jointly, on all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease and several types of cancer. Armed with the health history and self-reported diet and exercise habits of 346,627 study subjects age 40 to 69, the researchers cross-referenced the data against local death records over the course of a decade. The idea was to link the cause of death to baseline health records gathered 10 to 11 years earlier and gauge the impact of diet, […]
