2022-04-27 12:19:23 What prevents you from leading a healthy lifestyle

An all-or-nothing approach. There is no perfect path to success. It usually involves breakdowns and unsuccessful attempts. If you can support yourself despite missing a workout, it will be much more realistic to achieve the goal.

Lack of space for new habits. Each new undertaking needs a place, time and resource. Tune in in advance: at the beginning of the journey, you will have to sacrifice comfort until healthy eating or sports become your new habitual way of life. Clear a place for new habits, and do not try to squeeze them into a regime that has been established for many years.

The desire to change everything at once. Introduce healthy habits gradually, one by one. Think about what is the most priority and achievable from the list, and what can be abandoned completely now or in the near future.

2022-04-26 17:06:23 Healthy food for a snack

The ideal light snack is one that is convenient to take with you and can be eaten in almost any conditions. Nuts fit this description perfectly.

Nuts contain a lot of fats, fiber and protein, which provide satiety. In addition, they contain magnesium, vitamin E, zinc and folate, which are necessary for optimal functioning of the body.

Regular snacks with nuts will help strengthen heart health and reduce the risk of diabetes.

If the hunger is too strong, I suggest adding dried fruits, apple, cheese or dark chocolate to the nuts. Open / Comment

2022-04-24 22:24:06 Two ways to keep fit

One is difficult, and the second is easy.

80% of people choose the difficult one. Because the easy way sounds so implausible and intimidating that they don't even want to hear about it without understanding it.

They choose the difficult path — although they contribute to the enrichment of third parties at your expense. The same people recommend it on every corner.

The easy way is deliberately discredited at the same time — because once you get on it, you will no longer need anyone's services.

the first way (difficult) is to switch from one diet to another, hunger strikes, pills /teas/slimming belts, surgery, etc.

The second way (easy) is to switch to proper nutrition, creating healthy eating habits, exercise or some other activity.

2022-04-23 22:36:41 Sleep is the best medicine

Healthy sleep is not only a recipe for beauty, but also a guarantee of health.

Regular and prolonged sleep has a positive effect on the immune system. All due to a better hormonal balance, better blood and lymph flow, and therefore higher activity of immune cells.

Lack of sleep weakens the protective functions of the body and negatively affects the biochemical processes occurring in it, including those started by medications.

No matter how much you lean on superfoods, ginger or vitamin supplements for "immunity", the main thing that will make them work one hundred percent is a healthy sleep.

2022-04-23 16:44:54 How to prevent colon and rectal cancer

In 80% of cases, colorectal cancer is preceded by benign adenomatous polyps — which means that if they are detected in time, the disease can be prevented.

Smoking increases the probability of developing tumors of this localization by 2.5 times. If a person abuses alcohol and leans on red meat, the risks will also increase.

Adults should do at least 150-300 minutes a week (2.5 to 5 hours) of moderate—intensity physical activity with aerobic exercise - for example, walking.

Include more vegetables and fruits, whole grains and legumes in your diet.

Also, a test for hidden blood in the feces is used as a regular check — it occurs due to polyps or directly intestinal cancer.
