BE ACTIVE ALL YEAR

BE ACTIVE ALL YEAR

I am sure that a huge number of people have promised to change their way of life in the New Year.

Some will try to change jobs, others will improve relations in the family, others will try to lose a couple of extra pounds.

Such impulses, of course, are beautiful. The main thing is to begin to implement them, and not to reproach ourselves next year, that they did not take themselves into hand. That is why, I picked up for you, our dear readers, a number of useful tips and news that will serve as an excellent motivational impetus for starting an active and healthy lifestyle.

Forget about excuses

“I do not have time” – that’s how we tell ourselves when we plan to go in for sports. Of course, each of us works and, at times, a busy schedule takes the last forces, and go to the gym and spend from half an hour to an hour of precious time for exercise, do not want to. That is why, such reasoning is a misconception number 1. The fact is that scientists have long concluded that even if you engage in 10 minutes 3 times a day – this will be equivalent to half an hour of continuous training. Climbing and descending the stairs during working hours is an excellent alternative to running on the track. Take a walk during lunch, and when you come to work, park out and walk. If you perform these simple exercises every day, you can significantly improve your physical tone and well-being.

The second most common excuse is pain during exercise. Even if you have a disability or you experience some discomfort, this is no reason to forget about physical education. Ask your doctor, set for yourself the optimal workload and set of exercises. A competent approach to training, on the contrary, allows you to improve your health.

Finally, one of the most common excuses is like this: “I do not see the results, therefore it does not work.” Before starting any exercise program, it’s important to ask yourself what exactly you want to achieve. The reason is simple: all exercise programs are different from each other. Someone goes to the hall to build muscle mass, someone wants to give a relief to the body, and someone can not wait to lose weight. Only by understanding the ultimate goal, you can achieve results. And the secret of many successful athletes is that they periodically change their programs. It. first, it will help to achieve tangible results, and secondly, will make your time-forwarding in the gym more diverse.

What are the benefits of physical exercise for adolescents?

Most people start to play sports in order to lose weight or improve their shape. For adolescents, however, research suggests that regular exercise is of far more importance than banal weight control. A recent poll showed that teenagers who are physically active tend to avoid bad habits.

During the survey, the researchers interviewed about 12,000 students to find out how often they engage in active sports. The received data are very impressive. Compared to teens, whose main activity was watching TV and video games, sports youth were less inclined to:

  • to smoking cigarettes
  • drinking alcohol
  • driving in a state of intoxication
  • use of marijuana and other drugs
  • school promenade

Sports youth had more chances:

  • have adequate self-esteem
  • get more high marks in the exact sciences
  • normalize sleep
  • work out of school
  • help around he ho use
  • improve relations with family and class mates

Why is it important to move?

It has long been known that walking reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. A lot of research has been done, proving that, although small, but daily activity, it improves the rheological parameters of the blood and reduces the cholesterol in the blood. Having talked with your doctor-chiropractor, you can, with his help, choose for yourself the optimal program that will include both physical exercises and specialized herbal preparations that together will bring the maximum health effect.

Colon cancer and physical activity

The American Cancer Society estimates that nearly 95,000 new cases of colon cancer will be diagnosed in the United States this year. The exact cause of colon cancer is not yet fully understood, but some of the risk factors are known: high fat content in food, inadequate fiber intake and heredity.

Fortunately, there are ways to reduce some of these risks. A study published in the journal of the National Cancer Institute showed that people with a normal body mass index (BMI) are less likely to develop an oncology of the intestines than those who have this index deviated from the norm.

To maintain a normal weight, do not ignore physical activity and try to lead a more active and healthy lifestyle. After all, the foundation of a beautiful and bright future,
