Your health is your wealth, responsibility and your everything. You can never enjoy an excellent path to a happy life without good health. The best way to avoid chronic diseases, increase your life span and a more rewarding feeling in your body is through healthy living. Healthy living is of absolute necessity and there are tons of benefits to be derived from eating healthy, exercising regularly and ensuring that your body gets adequate rest. It is not the amount you eat or the walk in the park that will get you to the point where you are healthier than you were yesterday and enjoy a healthy life into the future. Who is responsible for your health? Your health is critically important and nobody will ever be held accountable for your health but YOU. Your body requires the available nutrients in a balanced meal served in moderate proportions in order to continuously repair worn out tissues, combat diseases, develop strong bones and teeth as well as to provide you with the energy you need to perform your daily activities. People who do not pay attention to their health are at significantly higher risks of suffering from diseases than those who make […]

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, […]

Learn to Improve Metabolism to Lose Weight Effectively There are many different ways to increase metabolism, but if you’re trying to lose weight, some methods work better than others. Why? Because some metabolism diet tricks actually cause weight gain. Yep, that’s right. They cause your body to get bigger instead of helping you to slim down. So how do you sort through the science to find effective metabolism-boosting strategies? First, it’s important to learn what not to do when you’re trying to slim down.   Dos Keep a food journal Increase your daily activity Enjoy favorite treats as a reward   Don’ts Follow fad diets Take diet supplements Consume energy drinks   How to Increase Metabolism You’ve probably seen plenty of articles online and in magazines that teach you how to increase metabolism.

Video games, television, and computers are sedentary behaviors that need to be limited to help your kids be more active. This slideshow contains to get your kids up and moving.

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 […]

During a workout, many people go into autopilot, letting their minds wander as they move their bodies, challenge their muscles, and get their hearts pumping faster.
