Simple Fitness and Health Tips that Work
Stay fit, eat a good diet and you will live longer and happier.
Sounds simple, right? But how many of us actually do? It took a life-threatening disease for me to take notice. And the difference in my life was nothing short of a miracle.
In order to live a life with more energy and less pain I realized I had to move my body and eat the right foods.
Exercise and Health
Regular exercise improves your body's physical performance and enhances mental health. I know.
Follow these simple health tips first...
- Always consult a physician before beginning any exercise program. Especially if you have pre-existing conditions like heart problems or respiratory conditions.
- Avoid overdoing it. Give yourself every other day off. Your body needs a chance to recuperate...especially with strength training. Three times a week for 20 minutes yields fantastic results.
- Make sure you stretch first to prepare the joints for motion and avoid strain. Stretching afterwards is the icing on the cake. Plus it feels so good.
Strength Training Exercises
What is Strength Training?
Strength training is any exercise that uses resistance to improve the endurance of your muscles.
Benefits of Strength Training Exercises
- Relieves stress
- Minimizes fall-related injuries
- Makes bones stronger and thereby protects you better against physical injury
- Helps natural weight loss
Examples of Strength Training Exercises
Leg lifts, pushups, sit-ups, shoulder raises, bicep curls with weights, and use of exercise bands give great results. And are simple to do.
If you are tight on cash, use bodyweight exercises in the comfort of your home instead of a gym. Start with three or five pound weights if you can.
Resistance Training
Resistance training can be done with machines at the gym or with stretch bands and towels. These type exercises improves resistance, flexibility and strength when done on a regular basis.
Using
simple fitness and health tips and a diet with plenty of fruits and
vegetables can help eliminate arthritis pain without the damaging
effects of drugs.
Natural Remedies for Arthritis
Exercise and Arthritis
To avoid the natural stiffness that comes with age, illness or being a couch potato, I exercise my joints daily. One major benefit of exercise for arthritis is to greatly decrease body aches and pain.
That way I avoid putting all those medications into my body which can cause an upset stomach and kidney problems.
Yoga and Arthritis
One of the top fitness and health tips for increasing flexibility and improving joint function is yoga.
No need to turn yourself into a pretzel to feel the benefits. Improvement is felt within two weeks of incorporating yoga and arthritis.
Diet for Arthritis
The benefits of the right diet for arthritis include detoxifying your body to decrease the pain and stiffness of arthritic joints.
If you are serious about saying "adios" to arthritis pain and stiffness then you must make changes in your eating habits. Start slow if a gradual improvement is your goal. If faster results are what you want, then diving in with both feet is the best way.
Dealing with Menopause
Menopause and Exercise
Exercise is one of the best ways of
managing hot flashes by increasing blood flow. Exercise reduces stress
and helps to combat depression. It also improves sleep.
Diet and Menopause
A
healthy diet of lean meats and plenty of fruits and vegetables is
essential in dealing with menopause. It reduces both physical and
mental symptoms...including fatigue and bloating.
Make healthy changes in your lifestyle with these simple fitness and health tips.
Incorporate strength training exercises in your everyday activities and eat a well-balanced diet.
And the changes in your health and body will be nothing short of a miracle.
