by kevin in Healthy Living 1 comments
Even though a majority of the world is obsessed with reducing obesity by shedding pounds, there are many among us who are just as obsessed with gaining weight, but no amount of mass gainers, weight gainers or diet plans have been working. 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. Pregnant: Scientists have already stated and declared this since a long time that a low-calorie diet with improper nutrition leads to infertility in women, which is kind of your body’s way of telling you that you do not eat enough to […]

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, […]

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.

by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
One of the largest and most comprehensive studies is the New England Centenarian Study by Dr. Thomas Perls which identifies characteristics centenarians share and reasons for it. Perls suggests several things we can do to increase our chances of living a long life as described in his podcast of September 12, 2022 and in his book, “Living to 100: Lessons In living to Your Maximum Potential at Any Age” (Basic Books, 1999). Additional evidence comes from the Blue Zones which are places where people are living longer lives with more vitality. See “Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer from the People Who’ve Lived the Longest” by Dan Buettner. Unless otherwise noted, most of the research is from the Perls’ study.   Here are 10 suggestions:   1. Exercise regularly. Most centenarians in the Perls and Buettner studies kept active both physically and mentally. When Buettner asked the very long-lived Costa Ricans their secret to longevity, they said they enjoyed physical work all of their lives. In Sardinia, these older people leave their homes around November to walk their sheep in areas for food and don’t return until April or May. 2. Manage stress. Centenarians are natural stress shedders as an […]
