Why We Need to Have Time for Exercise

Take time to exercise regularly. Experts usually advise it if you want to attain wellness. With regular exercise you can effectively cope up stress, could think well, be in a happy mood and physically fit.

Elliptical is my best friend if we talk about exercising at home. Though exercise was designed to improve flexibility and to strengthen our muscles and bones, it is best for our heart and lung functioning as well.

Exercise is beneficial for mental health not just physical health. It could improve self-concept, reduces stress, clears our thinking and help us be more receptive to learning and boosts our happy hormones too.

Stop your excuses not to exercise. Have time for it. Learn more about exercise for you to be more motivated and encourage others especially your family to have time for exercise as well.

Have time for a group exercise like family exercise. Exercising with a group of people could encourage us to continue doing it. Walking, canoeing, swimming and other sports are some of the exercise you will enjoy in a group. To parents, just be creative and plan ahead for your family exercise activities. Exercising with your kids is not just the best way to bond with them but a good influence too for them to live a healthy lifestyle.

Why We Need Not to Overexercise

Why we need not to overexercise, what is its disadvantage? Exercise helps us not just physically but mentally and emotionally as well making it important like diet and sleep. Regular exercise for at least 30 minutes a day increases muscle strength, thus, it could give great protection to the joints that they surround. Exercise could make the joints more flexible too.

But, overexercise could be injurious too. Overusing or over stressing the joints may hasten the wear-and-tear process making you more likely to suffer from osteoarthritis. No wonder, athletes are more likely to suffer from osteoarthritis on their later years.

Walking and swimming are great exercises that strengthens your muscles including your cardiovascular system but do not overstress your joints.

Tips to Improve Your Memory

Few minutes ago, my younger sister asked me what to do to improve her memory. Then she added, “I hope there is a wonder drug that provides a high quality upgrade for human memory. A wonder drug that can simply be bought anywhere and then I can just have my memory upgraded anytime. How I wish it were as easy as upgrading the Mac memory of my MacBook Pro or my PSP memory stick.” Silly as it sounds, she seemed serious when she said those words. I’m sure a lot of people also wish for the same thing, but even if some products on the market promises to do wonder in improving one’s memory, such wonder drug does not exist. However, I can give her some tips how to improve her memory.

Here are my simple tips:
HAVE TIME FOR EXERCISE.  Family exercise will not just act as bond for your family and not just good for your heart but for the wellness of your family in general. Regular exercise boosts memory. Lots of research has been conducted from small children to adults about the connection between exercise and mental functioning of the brain. All of them have proven that it does not just release happy hormone that has anti-stress effect but it boosts memory and good cognitive functioning too.

EAT A BALANCED DIET. Eating a balance meal with more emphasis on plant foods – grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes and nuts will help your brain to function well. Foods that are rich in antioxidants like strawberries and spinach may help retard age related problems and that includes memory. Foods that are rich in choline or lecithin, riboflavin and zinc are also good for the brain. Zinc is involved in enzyme reaction in the brain that could influence its functions while choline or lecithin and riboflavin improves memory.

SUPPLEMENT YOURSELF WITH VITAMINS B, C and E.  Vitamin B6, B12, thiamine and choline have big roles to play in brain functioning while vitamin C and E are powerful antioxidants that may protect your brain from normal aging.

DRINK AT LEAST 8 GLASSES OF WATER DAILY. More than 60 percent of our body is made up of water. For more info about the importance of water to your brain just click here.
