by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
What you eat after your workout can be just as important as what you eat before it. The foods you choose to eat after exercising can help your body recover faster, reduce muscle soreness, and improve your overall performance. In this article, we will discuss eight of the best foods to eat after working out to help your body recover and replenish its energy stores. #1 Protein-rich food: Protein is essential for muscle repair and growth, making it a crucial nutrient to consume after working out.

by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
In certain rare cases, back pain can also be caused by a tumour. Therefore, on this world spine day, we share a few tips that can help you maintain spinal health and can prevent back pain.   Back pain today and especially lower back pain have become a chronic ailment in India. The disease is no longer limited to the elderly but is also increasing among the youth. Long working hours along with a sedentary lifestyle is putting too much strain on our spinal discs and back muscles and has highlighted the need for us to take steps and prevent any long-term complications. Several reasons like sports injuries, excessive stress over flexible joints and congenital spinal problems can cause chronic back pain among children and teenagers. Additionally, substance abuse too can cause adolescents to experience back pain. According to several recent studies, it has been found that adolescents who smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol and are suffering from mental health conditions like depression and anxiety are likely to suffer from back pain more frequently. For instance, 14-15-year-olds who consume alcohol and smoke tobacco experience back pain more than once a week than those who rarely or never had pain. This combination […]

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 […]

Life expectancy of Americans is now 76.6 years old, according to a 2021 study. That age has decreased since 2019, at which point an average life was 78.86 years of age. That’s not a very impressive lifespan when you consider that one woman in France, Jeanne Louise Calment, was recorded as having lived to the incredible age of 122. 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.

12 Tips to Make It Easier to Dress for Colder Weather with Arthritis

by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
If you live with arthritis, getting dressed for cold weather can be tricky. Here are a few tips to make it easier on your body.   With joint swelling, pain, and chronic fatigue, the extra buttoning, zippering, and putting on heavy shoes and boots can feel impossible. While getting dressed is still a struggle for me, it has become easier day-to-day because I have molded my wardrobe around fairly strict guidelines I created for myself. These work for me, and although they may not work for everyone, I would like to share them with you.   Start by Sitting Down If you sit down while you’re getting dressed, especially when you’re putting on shoes, you will have less frustration — guaranteed. Get a solid wooden chair to keep by your door (or even your closet) to use while you dress. This is a total game changer.   Skip Zippers In general, I try to avoid buying clothing with zippers. If I wear traditional jeans, I buy one size larger so that I can pull them on without unzipping them. My jackets and heavy coats all have a snap option in addition to zippers. If they don’t, I add fabric Velcro […]
