Everything you need to know of meditation as a beginner

by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
One of the finest methods to better understand yourself and become the best version of yourself is through meditation. While meditating, you watch your thoughts without trying to fight them or make them go away. Focused concentration, a peaceful mind, clarity of feelings and thoughts, relaxation, rejuvenation, improved inner strength, and the capacity to maintain emotional equilibrium even in stressful conditions are just a few of the many advantages of this age-old practice. Studies have also indicated that meditation can help people with diseases like PTSD, fibromyalgia, and irritable bowel syndrome as well as depression and anxiety disorders. Even though there are several advantages to this practice, you can frequently find it to be challenging and tiresome, especially if you’re just starting out. Problems with ideas and restlessness are the main causes. It is crucial to realise that even the most seasoned yoga practitioners have these typical problems. You need a little bit of direction to maintain consistency and incorporate meditation into your everyday practice.   Tips to Get Started with Your Meditation Practice: The profound technique of meditation involves ceasing all activity and letting go of all effort in order to unwind in one’s actual essence, which is serenity, […]

Can you exercise with Covid? What doctors recommend

by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
Can you exercise with Covid? If you’re testing positive for the virus and really feeling it then a workout will likely be the furthest thing from your mind. But with 1 in 3 people contracting coronavirus without symptoms, many are wondering if it’s safe to work out while recovering.  Of course we know by now that if you test positive for coronavirus, you must self-isolate at home. This is regardless of whether you’ve been fully vaccinated (including the Covid booster jab) or you’ve tested positive within the last six months. If you go out, you’re more than likely to pass the virus onto others – even if you’re asymptomatic. And with the new, possibly-more-transmissable Omicron variant on the scene, this advice is more important than ever. But a home workout, complete with all your own the fitness equipment – probably purchased during one of three previous lockdowns – may still be allowed according to doctors.   Can you exercise with Covid? While there is nothing to stop you working out at home with Covid-19, GP Dr Giuseppe Aragona says it’s not advisable. “It is physically possible to partake in exercise with Covid and there is minimal risk with this.

10 Healthy Habits of Pro Athletes

by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
Here are some easy, doable tips from pro athletes that you can use to look, feel, and perform your best every day, no matter what your baseline.   1. Start with a dynamic warm-up. Before tackling a high-intensity workout, five-time World Series champion Derek Jeter starts with calisthenics including jumping jacks, arm circles, pushups, lunges, and squats to warm up his muscles. While you may not need a lengthy cool-down post-workout, warm-ups are non-negotiable, because they help prevent injury, enhance performance, and can even stave off soreness. Ease into every fitness session with a few minutes of dynamic moves like Jeter’s.   2. Consider rest and recovery as important as the rest of your training. Three-time MLB All-Star and two-time MLB Home Run Champion Jose Bautista has to take every measure necessary to preserve his strength, and one crucial component of his training is rest. “My muscles get sore the next day if I don’t eat enough protein or drink enough water. Recovery time has a lot to do with diet,” he says.   3. Spend time fine-tuning your coordination. In his off-season workouts, Warriors point guard and 2015 MVP Steph Curry concentrates on “neuromuscular overload,” according to his trainer, […]
