Small diet changes. Big weight loss.
Most people consider losing weight a difficult proposition. Few folks have the time or interest to count calories or fat grams. Others have no patience for restrictive diets or complex dietary regimens. And even fewer are interested in the other part of losing weight, regular exercise. But you can lose a significant amount of weight by making small changes in your eating habits that don’t require record keeping or a food scale. Use the following tips to help you shed unwanted pounds.
A Stress-free and Healthy Travel Checklist
Planning a trip for your family is a daunting task, especially if you are taking an extended vacation abroad. There are online checklists you can download to let you know how to pack for certain terrains, how to get through security, and activities to try when you reach your destination; but do you know what measures to take to ensure you and your family have the safest and healthiest trip possible? Not forgetting these other important necessities will ensure your upcoming vacation is stress-free.
Exercise tips for seniors
Exercise is just as important in your older years as when you were younger. It’s well known that regular exercise can help to boost heart health, maintain a healthy body weight, keep joints flexible and healthy, and improve balance to minimize falls. And it’s not as time-consuming as you may think. For general health benefits, older adults need about 2.5 hours of aerobic (walking, running, and other activities that get the heart pumping faster) activity per week, combined with muscle-strengthening activities at least two days per week.
Setting exercise goals for healthy living
Making exercise part of your daily life isn’t hard if you make it a priority. To do that, you need to develop goals and an exercise plan that match your needs and interests.
