Most people believe anything that is written on the internet when it comes to food and dietary trends. Often at times, it is confusing for the people because one study will say some of the foods are beneficial for the health while another study will say it is bad for humans. So what to believe and what not to believe? Take a look Headlines that are misleading People think that scientific studies are the last speaking point for the people, but the fact is that most of the studies don’t provide users with conclusive evidence. They are simply providing theories by seeing and observing a certain group of people who have particular eating habits. So none of the outcomes from the scientific experiments can be ruled as conclusive. So this is why they should never be followed. It is better than a diet Instead of sticking to a certain philosophy or trend that you have seen on the internet, it is always better to eat wholesome and nutritious food even if that doesn’t adhere to one particular type of dieting. More example you don’t need to stick strictly to a Mediterranean style diet, you can simply focus on eating planned […]

6 tips to keep your brain healthy

by admin in Mind & Body 0 comments
Changes to your body and brain are normal as you age. However, there are some things you can do to help slow any decline in memory and lower your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias.   Here are six things I recommend to my patients in order of importance:   1. Exercise regularly. Exercise has many known benefits, and regular physical activity also benefits the brain. Multiple research studies show that physical active people are less likely to experience a decline in their mental function and have a lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. These benefits result from increased blood flow to your brain during exercise. It also tends to counter some of the natural reduction in brain connections that occur during aging, reversing some of the problems. Aim to exercise several times per week for 30 to 60 minutes. You can walk, swim, play tennis or do any other moderate aerobic activity that increases your heart rate.   2. Get plenty of sleep. Sleep plays an important role in your brain health. Some theories state that sleep helps clear abnormal proteins in your brain and consolidates memories, which boosts your overall memory and brain health. Aim for […]

by admin in Healthy Living 0 comments
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 […]

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.
