This Diwali, Gift Healthy

     This Diwali, Gift Healthy

As more and more health diseases prevail, health consciousness among people is on the rise.

The news about the quality of the milk products used in the sweets and other dishes is not a secret anymore. These have many adulterated stuff that leads to cancer. A new trend has started, gifting healthy gifts to our loved ones. For those who are new to this, don’t get confused, we are here to sort all out with some trending gifts that will promote a healthy lifestyle among your colleagues and loved ones.

   1.  Dry fruits packs

These are the go to gifts for many companies and people. Nuts are good for health with healthy fats, proteins and carbohydrates. They can be used in a lot of dishes as well. Although a little expensive, are easily available in the Indian markets. So, in place of chocolate gift packs prefer nuts. These can also be easily kept in the work places.

  

   2.   Pack of Nut Butters

Peanut butters was first made by a Italian doctor to provide the patients without teeth with fats and proteins

They don’t make you fat if exercise regularly as they have good fats such as those found in olive oil. They also have great protein content.

You can gift any of the nut butters, be it peanut, cashew etc.

 

   3.  Box of assorted green tea flavors

Recent times have seen plenty of growth in consumption of green tea as it has great fat burning properties. People looking to lose weight would love to have these. Green tea detoxes skin, boosts metabolism, burns fat and manages the water content of our body.

Also assorted flavours mean that the taste would be good.

    4.  A pair of dumbbells

A pair is all you need to kick start the muscle building processes of our body, if you want your loved ones to exercise at home gift them a pair of dumbbells or a home gym or an ab roller. Anything to get them moving at home.

 

   5.  A basket full of multi grain cookies

Who doesn’t love cookies?  A basket full of multi grains cookies should win anyone’s heart, be it an elder or a child. These cookies are high on fibre so the digestive system stays healthy, they are available in many flavours and are also low in cholesterol.

This Diwali give the gift of health and happiness.

The Pre Workout Checklist

The Pre Workout Check List

Some days, we feel like a beast, the strongest human on the planet after a workout and some days we feel like we have no strength.

Ladies and gentlemen, the major reason behind this is the pre workout regimen you follow.

Yes it is quite influential on the workout. So, today we discuss about the checklist we all can incorporate for an intense and successful workout.

   1. Adequate sleep

This may not affect the quality of the workout directly, but plays a role. If we don’t have enough sleep, our body doesn’t recover and doesn’t have the energy reserves it need for the workout. A nap of 30 to 40 minutes before an hour or two of your workout can surely help.

For some crazy tips on better sleep check the link below,

    2. Pre Workout Nutrition and Supplementation

This is a very researched and impactful factor.

The time you should eat varies, some people vomit even eating before an hour or two of workout and some directly go to the gym after having a meal. Look out for what works for yourself.

You can eat high glycaemic or slow digesting carbs and proteins such as oats, pasta, whole wheat bread, eggs and egg whites.

Supplements you can take is creatine, having pre workout supplements with stimulants is not preferred.  

  

   3.  Find the right music

Many studies have showed that people who listen to music perform better in workouts.

Different individuals like to listen to different genres. Just find what motivates you, make the playlist, get the earphones in and be ready.

 

   4. Mental preparation

I have heard lots of people saying that what athletes and bodybuilders in specific do is just physical labour. It is not so, it is more of a mental war. When we are in pain, only our mind pushes us.

Our body can take over anything, it is our mind that gives up.

Just shut off your smartphones, get on the music and visualize the workout and your goals.

 

   5. Hydration

Our body is 70% fluid and loss of water promotes muscle breakdown, which is not good for our body. Focus on hydration.

For the benefits of drinking water, please check the link below

4 Easy Ways To Be Regular With Exercise

4 Ways to Be Regular At Exercise

The lack of regularity with physical exercise is a major issue faced by new joiners or beginners.

Can’t complete your weight loss goals?

Haven’t gained an inch of muscle?

Feeling that you are wasting time by exercising?

If the answers are yes, yes and yes then the problem is that you are not regular with your workouts.  This article is to help us stay motivated and be regular.

   1. Join an expensive gym

Before you close this window swearing things about me listen to this. A study found that people who paid little more for their gym subscription were more regular.

No need of going to first class health facility,

Little expensive should do it.

 

   2.  Plan it out

Plan the workout before so that if any excuse pops up you don’t have an excuse to miss the workout. The best way is to make a timetable and a lot proper periods of time for exercise and learn to adapt, making changes to your plan whenever you feel like. Please be sincere towards your health and see the results it would get you.

  

   3.  Having proper sleep

On some mornings, do you feel that you just don’t want to get out of the bed? You feel more sleepy and lethargic compared to other days. The day feels horribly longer and time passes by slowly.

The reason behind this is lack of adequate sleep. Sleep is the time your body recharges for the day. It is the time recovery takes place so please have a whole sleep daily.

For ways to improve your sleep cycles and sleep check this awesome blog

   4.  Find your own motivation

Some days, you just don’t want to give your workouts your best shot. Many of you out there have other important things such as career and relationships except fitness. Sometimes things go wrong and we don’t want to work out with all our strength. Here the power to find motivation and the power of visualization comes in play.

Motivation is needed regularly sometimes finding it may be difficult but we have to. Close your eyes, remember why you started this, what are your goals and what will you become?

Working out is the best thing you can do for your body. Be regular at it and feel the confidence.

Losing Weight is Now Easier Than Thank You

         6 Tips to Lose Weight

The three magical words every physical trainer hates are ‘Weight Loss Secrets’ which he hears countless times throughout his lifetime. These words scare the shit out of trainers because there is really no secret medicine or supplement that would help you lose weight without exercise and proper nutrition. That’s the truth.

So, to help you with your weight loss goals, here we are with six tips to make you a fat burning machine.

Tip 1 Meal frequency

Having more of light meals throughout the day makes your sugar level maintained, so no hunger pangs and no eating whatever you lay your hands on.  

Also, your metabolism doesn’t slows down resulting in less fat accumulation.

Tip 2 Don’t stop eating carbs and fats

 Cutting calories can be a very effective way to lose fat but eating nearly no carbs and fats would hamper the proper functioning of the body.

Don’t want to feel and look like a walking zombie, then stick to a healthy amount of calories.

Tip 3 Don’t run away from desi ghee

There is reason why your grandmothers force you to eat ghee with absolutely anything, current studies and research have shown that ghee aids in fat burn and also has healthy fats essential for proper joint function and protein synthesis. Small servings would be good.

Tip 4 Move it

Yes, lack of movement results in slower metabolism and more accumulation of fat. If you are not seeing results is the because you don't exercise enough.

‘Sitting is the new smoking’ is the new mantra.

Keep your physical exercise up and watch as you lose the extra fat. Just 15 minutes of exercise and healthy eating can bring your weight down to the healthy range. Exercise has lots of other benefits as well, for an article on them please check the link below.

Tip 5 Keep the water flowing

Our body is made up of 70% water and it is essential for all the physiological processes. Often overweight people don’t have enough water throughout the day, I have seen people drinking one glass of water the entire day. That’s just 7% of your daily needs. Please have 6 to 8 glasses of water at a minimum.

For the benefits of water and when to drink, please check the link below

Tip 6 Stay miles away from fried foods

Personally, I think fried foods should be declared unfit for consumption. They are so bad for your body, you won’t even know it.

Yes it does tastes good, but sacrificing your health? Not at all.

Prefer healthier cooking methods such as steaming and oxy frying.

Losing weight is not such a difficult task some people believe it to be. ‘What you believe is what you become’ just eat healthy, exercise regularly and believe on yourself and results are bound to follow.
