Looking to maximize your heart and brain heath? Use these three tips.   The heart and the brain are connected by more than just blood and a cluster of nerves. They’re in constant communication to keep your body functioning. But it’s more than that, the health of one determines the other. So how do you keep them both healthy? It’s actually pretty straightforward. You can improve the health of both your heart and brain with three simple tips. You can even start using them today.   What impact does the brain have on the heart? Your brain has a direct pathway to your heart through the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system has two parts — the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, which work in balance. Both sides play a key role in blood pressure and heart-rate regulation. The sympathetic nervous system is our fight-or-flight response to danger or stress. When we’re in stressful situations, the sympathetic system releases adrenaline, which will increase your heart rate and blood pressure accordingly. Conversely, the parasympathetic brings us back to a balanced, calm state that returns our heart rate and blood pressure to normal levels. It wasn’t until the 2004 InterHeart study […]

This discomfort, known as delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), can be discouraging, especially if it lasts for several days. However, sore muscles after a workout are not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, they’re often an indication that you’re challenging your body and building muscle. In this article, we’ll delve into what causes sore muscles after workouts and explore some strategies to help you relieve the discomfort.   What Causes Sore Muscles after Workout?

Pain associated with sore muscles after a workout is typically more pronounced 24-72 hours after exercise, hence the term “delayed onset muscle soreness.” DOMS is generally not a cause for concern and typically resolves on its own within a few days.
