Seven tips to help encourage your child to exercise

by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
Exercising is good for anyone of any age, but it can be crucial in adolescents. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), less than one-quarter of children 6 to 17 years of age participate in the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity every day. Regular physical activity can help children and adolescents improve cardiorespiratory fitness, build strong bones and muscles, control weight, reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, and reduce the risk of developing other health conditions. One way parents/guardians can help encourage their child to be physically active and to develop healthy living habits is by exercising with their child. National Exercise with Your Child Week takes place Aug. 7 to 13. This week is dedicated to helping encourage parents and guardians to empower their children to be physically active every day. Staying active together and being a role model for a healthy life can help children build confidence while teaching them the importance of physical activity. “Exercising with your child regularly can teach them how fun and exciting physical activity can be,” said John Nielsen, MD, Aspirus Family Physician at the Aspirus Merrill Clinic. “Lifestyle habits that are learned in childhood are much more likely to stay […]

Dropping pounds in your 40s can be a challenge—but these easy strategies actually work, according to a nutritionist. Hitting your 40s has plenty of benefits, such as earned wisdom, increased self-awareness, and self-confidence. Truth be told, though, it’s tough getting used to some of the physical changes. A biggie is a downshift in metabolism, which can make weight maintenance trickier and weight loss more challenging. However, losing weight after 40 isn’t impossible. You absolutely can shed pounds at any age—and do so while simultaneously optimizing overall wellness. Here are five tactics that work for my clients. And yes, one involves a daily dose of dark chocolate!   Cut back, but don’t cut out carbs Carbs are fuel, and whole food sources, like fresh fruit, whole grains, and potatoes, are bundled with vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. Cutting out carbs completely deprives your body of important nutrients. This can lead to unwanted side effects like constipation, fatigue, and irritability. But after age 40, your daily carb requirement may decline. Many of my clients find that they can’t eat large carb portions without either gaining weight or struggling to lose weight. The best resolution is to optimize the quality of the carbs […]

On the other hand, skipping breakfast can make appetite boost later in the morning or afternoon, which spikes blood sugar (which increases the risk for diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, which in turn are risk factors for heart attack and stroke sometimes).

Sometimes, the main suspicion behind this is the doubt whether you are under eating. If you are among those people as well, it’s time to have a look at some of the signs, which show that you might be under-eating after all: 1. Feeling Cold: When you generally feel cold all the time, it may very well be a sign that your body simply isn’t getting the calories that it’s supposed to get. Although this sign is also attributed to expected longevity, you can relate to it if you haven’t been eating enough. If you are confused as to whether you are actually cold or not, feeling cold in the summer season is a dead giveaway. 2.
