8 Keys To Boost Your Immune System

8 Keys To Boost Your Immune System

You might be sabotaging your immune system without even knowing it. Many common lifestyle habits can have a negative effect on the health of your immune system.

A poor immune system can leave you more vulnerable to illnesses like the common cold and the flu, and even contribute to the development of cancer and other serious diseases.

Replacing bad habits with healthy habits can bolster the strength and effectiveness of your immune system.

Consider where you could implement healthier, immune-boosting habits:

1. Exercise. Moderate exercise of only 30 minutes a day increases several factors in the immune system. The most important of these is your leukocyte count. These are the cells that fight infection.

* Sitting at a desk all day increases the odds of catching common ailments. Go to the gym or get out and take a brisk walk every day.

2. Avoid being overweight. Excess body weight greatly increases the likelihood of developing diseases like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Studies have also shown that being overweight has a negative impact on the immune system.

3. Watch your diet. Excess sugar consumption has a negative effect on the immune system’s effectiveness when dealing with bacteria. This effect can be seen after the consumption of as little as 75 grams of sugar and continues for at least a few hours.

* On the other hand, foods that are high in antioxidants and other nutrients boost the immune system. The best way to get all of these nutrients is by eating fruits and vegetables. Ideally, fill at least half your plate with vegetables.

4. Reduce stress. We’re all faced with a certain amount of stress in our lives. A small amount of stress is actually good for our health. However, excessive, chronic stress has a very negative impact on immune system health.

* Have you ever noticed you only get sick when you’re overstressed? When you’re stressed, you become much more likely to develop a variety of illnesses.

5. Laugh. Laughing is great for you. It decreases the level of stress hormones in your body. It also increases a specific type of white blood cell. Even the anticipation of experiencing something humorous has a very positive effect on the immune system.

6. Avoid social isolation. A strong social network is a great boost to both your mental and physical health. Your immune system is especially affected.

* Those with strong social connections and many close friends have a higher level of immunity than those that feel socially isolated.

* The feeling of loneliness can actually affect the way genes behave.

7. Get enough sleep. Most adults require 7 to 9 hours of sleep to maintain good health. A lack of sleep can increase the likelihood of getting sick.

* Insomnia can increase inflammation in the body, which inhibits your immune system’s responsiveness.

8. Practice relaxation techniques. Since chronic stress decreases immune system function, learning relaxation techniques will help return your immune system to a healthy state.

* Experiments have shown that regular meditation has a positive impact on your immune system.

Boosting your immune system is one of the most important things you can do for your health. It has a significant impact on longevity. Consider how many people die from the flu and other common ailments, especially as they age and their immune system function decreases.

You’ll also notice that these tips will enhance your overall well-being, as well as helping your immune system. Eating better, sleeping more, exercising, and relaxing will make you feel better every day. You’re going to like the way you feel!

How To Choose The Right Treadmill

Today everybody has become health conscious and wants to stay fit, but going to the gym can be a luxury which many people do not enjoy because of time constraint.

You can solve this problem by getting a treadmill for your home.

Not only can you workout at home without having to go anywhere, you can also exercise at your convenience anytime you want.

A treadmill is a piece of exercise equipment where you run on the spot, without moving any distance. You can exercise while watching TV, or even read while you run. Even when there is bad weather you can run indoors.

The working system of a treadmill is the belt system. The top of the belt moves to the rear, allowing you to run an equal and necessarily opposite speed. The speed and the distance covered can be set or measured.

You can also change the rate of speed when you need to. Because all factors of the run are known, the exact energy spent is able to be calculated. Some treadmills also have special built-in features such as heart rate monitors, step count, amount of calories burnt, etc.

How to choose the right treadmill:

Well, after deciding you want to buy a treadmill for yourself, but looking at the number of different treadmills available, you may get confused as to which one is best.

There are lots of things you need to consider.

Price is of course something you need to consider, but remember never to compromise on money when it comes to your fitness and health; after all you do not want to feel sorry later. Don’t become a slave to price. Consider the durability and functionality first, and then come to the price.

Before you set out to buy a treadmill, first decide where you want to put it, and measure up the space. If space is an issue, you may want to choose a model which folds for storage.

One important factor that you need to consider while choosing the treadmill is its motor. Choose one that has a larger and heavier motor if you are looking for long lasting and durability.

There are two ratings of horsepower. Peak duty rating is rated on the treadmill tag, and continuous duty rating, which is very important as it determines the quality and the duration of the treadmill, is stamped on the motor.

Get a 1.5 continuous duty horsepower or higher if your weight is more than 185 pounds.

Pay attention to the size of the walking track and the walking deck. Get a thick size deck at least 3/4 inches thick, for comfort of the feet and legs. The length of the walking track should be at least 48 inches and the width about 17 inches, so that you do not step off the track.

You can get a longer track if you are going to run on the treadmill. Next check the shock absorption. Avoid buying treadmills that have shock absorbers on the legs as this is not effective shock absorption.

The treadmill’s suspension must be directly under the walking deck to provide effective cushioning for the legs, feet and back. Foam or rubber is used for the padding. Foam can be softer and more comfortable than rubber, but it requires more time to return to its original size after impact, where rubber can recover to full thickness instantly and is a better shock absorbent.

Some treadmills even have a range of special preset exercise programs that can automatically change speed and can even measure your heart rate.

They can be more expensive than the usual treadmills, so if you are on a limited budget you could always buy a cheaper one and get a separate heart rate monitor and develop your own programs.

Bring one home!

Walking is a very effective exercise which everybody is able to do. It is basic, doesn’t require a lot of coordination, and can be an excellent way to deal with stress by clearing your head.

Anybody of any age can do it, and it is the same for a beginner as well as for an athlete.

So, if you are an indoor person, cannot go to a gym, or if you do not get time to go out to exercise, you can get a treadmill and exercise at home whenever you can and want to.

You Should Be Running Every Day

You Should Be Running Every Day!

Running is one of the most natural and pure systems for developing balance in your body. There are also a host of other benefits that running can bring to your body and mind, including physical fitness, mood enhancing, stress relief, and an overall feeling of wellbeing.

Humans have been running for a very long time. Our physiology has evolved to be highly specific and highly functional runners.

Consider these reasons why you should start running:

1. Running strengthens your feet. There might not be a better exercise for developing strong and coordinated foot patterns. Your feet are built like springs, but without proper training, they lose their elasticity.

● In some cases, this means you could actually lose some of your strength and power when you are pushing through your feet on squats and deadlifts.

● A strong base is a strong lift. Running can help to provide you with a strong base of support and elastic-like tensegrity in the feet.

2. Running is great for alignment. Assuming you have half-decent running form, your jogging is going to be great for alignment. The average person sits for about 6 hours a day. Without standing and running, your body may become accustomed to slouching and back pain.

● Slowly moving into more running can be one of the most effective ways to improve your posture and train your muscles to fire properly.

3. Running is euphoric. Think back to when you were a kid: running around and playing outside was likely the most fun you’ve ever had. This same experience can come back as long runs provide a literal high that leads to a euphoric state.

● On top of having an amazing experience, you are conditioning the body to better utilize oxygen and improving your body composition.

4. Running is easy to moderate and improve. Cardio training like running is one of the easiest styles of training to make progressions in.

● There are really only two basic premises – intensity and duration. Either you run longer at a lower intensity or you run shorter distances at a higher intensity.

● Making progressions is as simple as running longer at higher intensities and working up to greater paces.

5. Running takes you back to your roots. Many people will even make the most of their runs by wearing barefoot shoes. If this is your preferred method, ensure that you work into this slowly, as modern shoes have shaped your feet for some time.

● Strengthening your feet to work effectively in a barefoot setting will take time, but the rewards will be drastic.

What if You’re Strength Training?

In the world of strength training, many people are afraid to go running. They fear that, by running, they will lose muscle mass and may forfeit some of their strength.

Does this idea have any validity? In other words, could running really put a damper on your strength returns?

Yes and no.

Running is a type of training that requires the same form of energy that your weight training uses, especially if you’re running at a high intensity or for a very long duration.

So, if you are a strength athlete, you might want to avoid very long distances, as it will put stress on the joints (in excess of your weight training) and it would dissolve some nutrients you need for weight training.

Running for short distances, however, can still provide you with some great benefits.

Looking Forward

So, whether you go to the gym, don’t go to the gym, or you’re strength-training, running can benefit you in many ways.

Give those running shoes a workout! Start running today and reap the rewards.

This Is Stopping You From Losing Weight

This Is Stopping You From Losing Weight!

We’re creatures of habit.

We wake up, hit the alarm and hit auto-pilot…

You have breakfast.

You brush your teeth.

You get dressed.

You go to work.

You come home.

You go to bed.

Then you do it all over again the next day.

Eating and exercising – getting fatter or losing weight — all boil down to the same thing.

Habits.

We are creatures of habit.

Now you can use habit to your advantage.

Good habits help you get the things you want (and achieve the goals you have) quicker and easier.

There is a saying…

“The routine will set you free”

But it’s a double-edge sword.

It can help you lose weight or…

It can make you fat.

Now I need your help here.

I need you to think long and hard about what I’m about to ask.

And be brutally honest with yourself.

What is your biggest weakness when it comes to your food?

Is it:

– Overeating at meal times – Going without food for hours and then binge eating – Snacking between meals – Getting bored late in the evening before raiding the kitchen – Opening the ice-cream and eating it ALL!

These are classic BAD eating habits.

The problem is these are bad habits we do without thinking.

We do them (almost) on auto-pilot.

The regret it afterwards.

There are plenty more but if you can identify your biggest weakness you’re on a winner when it comes to losing weight.

I used to be a terrible night time feeder.

At night I’d raid and re-raid the fridge, the freezer and all the cupboards.

I might start with having one cookie and finish the pack.

Or have a bowl of cereal. Then another. And another.

I did it when I got bored in the evenings, watching TV or surfing the Internet.

I didn’t need the food.

I wasn’t hungry.

It was just habit.

When I realized and ended it (and with a little exercise) my body changed drastically.

Now here’s your job.

Think long and hard (and be honest).

What is your weakness?

What is your Achilles heel?

Isolate it.

Zone in on it.

Then by either replacing it with a better habit or cutting it out completely – good things will start to happen.

Like losing weight, seeing results, burning body fat and living a longer, healthier and leaner life.

So today, that’s your task.

Discover and zone in on that killer habit.

It’ll be the start of a new you.

5 Small Changes To Start Clean Eating Today

5 Small Changes To Start Clean Eating Today!

As you begin clean eating you might not be sure where to start or perhaps it looks too overwhelming. Let’s look at 5 easy ways you can get started making a positive change with clean eating today.

Here are the 5 small changes that will start you on your journey:

1.Take One Sugary Drink Away a Day

You don’t have to jump all in, start with small changes first. Pick one area that you want to improve on and figure out how to do it.

For example, you could replace one juice, soda or energy drinks with water for a certain amount of time. Then once you’ve got the hang of that eliminate those sugary drinks completely.

You don’t have to get rid of all your groceries and replace everything all at once. That would be expensive and overwhelming to do. Oftentimes a major change is the one we give up on. Instead pick an area and improve on it daily until you’ve mastered it.

2. Switch from Canned Food to Either Frozen or Fresh

Frozen vegetables and fruits have less preservatives than canned. Stop buying in the canned food aisle and replace those with either fresh food or frozen.

The taste is better and you won’t lose the nutrients from either of those options.

3. Cook Your Own Beans

Beans are a great source of plant protein. They fill you up and can be added to a variety of recipes. You’ll want to start incorporating beans into your diet.

Unfortunately beans can be time consuming to cook. One of the best ways to cook them fast is with a pressure cooker. You don’t even need to pre-soak them.

Throw them in, turn the cooker on and wait for the beep. Depending on the type of beans it usually takes about 45 minutes.

4. Eat More Fruits and Vegetables

You’ll want to buy a variety of fruits and vegetables. There are many that are easy to carry such as bananas, apples, oranges, carrots and celery.

Some will need a little bit of prep work ahead of time. What you’ll do is cut or prepare the fruits and vegetables. Then get a snack bag and put a serving in each one. Place them in the fridge in an easy and convenient place. That way when you are heading out the door you can grab them and go. It will also make it easier for you to snack on good food choices.

5. Make Salad in a Jar

You might be thinking, but they’ll get all gross and soggy before the end of the week. Surprisingly this is not true. Salads stay fresher, longer when they are put inside of a wide mouthed Mason jar. The trick is to layer them correctly.

The wet ingredients get put on the bottom and then the lettuce or spinach is on the top. These will help you stay on track for sure.

Every new journey starts with a single step. Start with these small steps to eat clean. Don’t expect to jump in and change everything all at once. Do it slow and steady and before long you’ll be clean eating all the time.

Top 3 Ways to Stay Motivated for Home Workouts

You just finished a long day of work or taking care of the kids. It’s about 6 PM and now it’s time to make dinner for the next hour until you finally get home to put your feet up. Chances are you may not have the time or the motivation to exercise.

Most people in today’s busy world would find it difficult to find time to go to the grocery store for fresh food, much less working out. Taking an hour or two in the morning or evening to train hard is difficult. We just don’t have the time in our busy lives.

However, the rise of fitness movements like calisthenics has made it easier and more accessible for all to exercise to the best of their ability in any location.

With a massive array of information online regarding exercise programs and various workouts, the most difficult component is not how to exercise but rather how to stay motivated.

Why Home Workouts Are Difficult

Gyms are built to be spaces where people of all goals and fitness levels can gather together and motivate each other. For some, this can be intimidating, but for many, seeing others exercising and working hard can be a great source of motivation.

In your home gym, you will not have that. For this reason, it’s important to find unique ways to motivate yourself.

Maintaining Your Motivation for Home Workouts

When working out at home, your biggest challenge is staying on track and progressing towards your goals.

Keep in mind that any goal that you have of building muscle or losing weight will take time. This is not a week-long event. You’ll need to stay motivated over the course of many months.

So, the big question remains: “How can I stay motivated for the long term?”

Try these motivating ideas, so you can achieve your fitness goals while working out from home:

1. Change it up. This is one of the easiest methods to stay motivated. If you’re continually doing the same workout (or series of workouts), you may find that you get bored very quickly. Additionally, having no variability in your training will make your progress much slower.

◦ Do yourself a favor and keep your mind open for new and unique workouts.

◦ Follow your favorite fitness trainers on social media. Chances are they will post workout routines that you can follow along with and see faster results.

2. Grab a suspension tool. Suspension tools like a Monkii or a TRX are great ways to always have a source of fun and engaging exercise. Pushups and lunges can get boring very quickly, and suspension tools have a huge amount of online videos with exercises for beginners all the way to advanced.

◦ When you make the exercise fun and interactive, you’ll be more motivated to exercise and stay on track. Suspension tools can help with that!

3. Make time. Integrate your home workouts into your daily schedule. Understandably, there will be days where you don’t want to train but having your workouts in your schedule and viewing them as an important element of your life will ensure you prioritize the workout.

◦ You’re more likely to follow through on training sessions when your workout time is on your regular schedule at the same time each day, or the same days each week.

◦ Making it a habit will get you to automatically work out without having to make the decision to do it.

Are Home Workouts for You?

Home workouts aren’t for everyone. Many people enjoy the setting of the gym and find that training at home is difficult. If you’re the type of person that can self-motivate and plan your days ahead of time, home workouts are for you.

Not only are they a great space to develop your relative strength, but training at home is cost-efficient, time-saving, and a great way to connect with yourself.
