Change your life with morning exercise.

Change your life with morning exercise.

How many of you love to do exercise? As per our schedule and daily life routines, most people are allotting time for exercise at their convenient time.  So that we can live a health life. Here our experts say morning is the best time for exercise. Let me know more about the morning exercise.  
Your morning routine can hold the secret to better health. Find out the habits that will super-start your day
Would you love to have more energy and a better memory? Fewer colds and fewer aches and pains? The answer could lie in your morning. The start of the day holds the key to taking control of your well-being before time gets away with you and other people’s priorities invade.
You don’t need to get up at the crack of dawn to reap the benefits. Simply going to bed 15 minutes earlier and waking up 15 minutes earlier the next day, before everyone else is up, you will have the time to make positive changes to your morning that will make a real difference to your health and happiness. So, before you tuck into your toast, try these tricks.
Cold Comfort
Health Benefit: Improve your memory
Switching your shower to cool for the last few minutes can help “shock” your body awake, helping to relieve fatigue and increasing mental alertness, so you will get more done throughout the day. In one study, a daily “cooler” shower (around 20⁰ C) was also found to help ease depression. But make sure to check with your doctor before trying this, especially if you have a heart problem.
Laying Twist Move
Work Out The Kinks
Health Benefit: Ease aches and Pains and boost energy
Doing yoga when you wake is great for loosening muscles and joints, boosting energy and starting your day in a positive mindset.
Try Laying Twist Move; it helps keep the spine flexible, and kidneys healthy and improves blood pressure.
  1. Lie on your back with legs straight and arms out a little higher than hip height.
  2. Place one foot on top of the opposite leg and gently twist over from the waist, using your top leg as a weight to take you into a Lying Twist. Hold for 10 deep, slow breaths. Repeat on the other side. Keep shoulders, arms and core muscles relaxed.
Scrap the Snooze
Health Benefit: Higher-quality rest
More than half of us set our alarm to snooze, but in fact, those extra few minutes won’t do your health or well-being any good. Set your alarm for the time when you really need to wake up. The reason? If you wake and doze, your brain will already be braced for the second alarm and it won’t let you dip back into the deep, restful stage of sleep. To feel well-rested, it’s much better to get an uninterrupted high-quality stint of sleep and then get straight up.
Good Morning
Health Benefit: Beat Fatigue
Instead of coffee, wake up with a cup of peppermint tea, its smell lowers fatigue and frustration. Worried you can’t function without a caffeine hit? People who start the day with a coffee are no more alert than those who don’t.
Mix Your Muesli
Health Benefit: Lose weight and feel great
Mix 8 handfuls of rolled oats, 2 large handfuls of ground bran, 1 handful of chopped dried apricots, 1 handful of chopped dried dates, 1 handful of crumbled walnuts, 1 handful of chopped almonds, hazelnuts or Brazil nuts, with plenty of skimmed milk and store in a large, sealable container in the fridge – it will last a good few days and you won’t be tempted to eat buttered toast instead. To serve, add more milk or yoghurt, plus some grated apple, chopped banana or berries.
Fresh-Air Fix
Health Benefit: Lowers blood pressure
That wonderful feeling of crisp air on your skin, the sounds of the birds in the trees…. Stepping outside makes us all feel better, particularly in the morning when it’s more quiet and tranquil. And it also brings with it a whole host of health benefits.
People who get a daily burst of vitamin G (what experts are now calling time spent in green spaces) have lower blood pressure and recover from illness quicker, thanks to stress-relieving benefits, which can last all day. A bit chilly to step outside? You can still reap the benefits by enjoying your morning brew of peppermint tea while looking out of the window.
Morning exercise is more beneficial than at other times
Try Your Trainer
Health Benefit: Get fit
Morning exercise is more beneficial than at other times. Those who reached for their trainers in the morning dozed off faster at night and had less disrupted sleep than those who exercised at other times.
One explanation is that the body releases stress hormones when you wake up, and working out in the morning counteracts them. People who exercise in the mornings are more likely to stick to it before that day gives you a raft of excuses.
The ideal morning workout is one you look forward to doing, whether that’s yoga, a gym class or swimming.

Wishing everyone a healthy life ahead with love

Seafood for weight loss

Seafood for weight loss
Seafood earns for itself an ideal place in weight loss programmes because of its wealth of Omega-3 fatty acids and special decrease the growth of fat cells, fish proteins contribute to the reduction of body fat mass (BFM).
Sea Food

Seafood for Health and Beauty

  • Reduces weight: Consuming Omegea-3 fish oil and combining it or following it with moderate aerobic exercises is found to speed up weight loss.
  • Stimulate fat transporting enzymes and improves blood flow to the muscles. Alternatively, it helps the body to transport stored fat to body areas where it can be used as energy during exercise.
  • Increase metabolic rate and tallies in the count of fat burned by the body. When your body is burning more fat (because the enzymes are stimulated) and you combine it with exercise, there is an increase in your intake of oxygen, and therefore an increase your metabolic rate too. In this cycle of body processes, increased metabolic rate also means more fat is burned by your body.
  • Regulate blood sugar and insulin levels. Insulin levels drop when you consume Omega 3 oil.
  • Keeps hunger at bay.
  • Reduces the risk or seriousness of ailments commonly associated with overweight or obesity.
  • Decreases blood pressure contributes to good cardiac health.
  • You will live linger and look younger as antioxidants will work to reduce free radicals.
    Good for the eyes. Improves your vision. DHA, one of the Omega 3 fatty acids, protects the retina from macular degeneration.
Between them, Omega – 3 fatty acids and special fish proteins have a mild but very long – term effect on weight loss. Omega – 3 fatty acids, by themselves are essential fatty acids and the human body cannot produce them. They are found in deep-sea fish such as salmon, mackerel, swordfish, and shark. Elsewhere, they can be found in certain oils (canola) and nuts (walnuts)

Fish Facts in Diet
fish food

Seafood has fewer calories and less fat than red meat. Fish is one of the best fat-burning foods for women. In men too, low-calorie diets that include fish are found to ensure more weight loss than those without fish. Leading the trend is Europe’s Mediterranean Diet, which is now popular in the US too. It is a heart-healthy way to lose weight, while eating healthy fats, fresh and unprocessed foods and plenty of seafood.

Take your Pick

  1. Tuna contains more fatty acids and quality protein to help burn excess body fat and balance blood sugar levels. It is heart friendly.
  2. Salmon is rich in natural astaxanthin and unsaturated fatty acids, which increases HDL and decreases LDL. It helps improve cardiovascular functions, controls cholesterol, burns fat and ensures healthy weight loss.
  3. Sardines are the best as they contain very high amounts of Omega-3 fatty acids.
Caution!!!!
  1. Too much fish oil can be harmful, as fish contains high levels of methyl mercury, a metal. It is so in larger fish, mackerel in particular, as they feed on smaller fishes which contain the metal. Other metals found in fish include lead, nickel, arsenic and cadmium. All of them are poisonous, in varying degrees.
  2. Fish must be cooked thoroughly and correctly, whatever be its kind. If weight loss is your aim, seafood has to be grilled, baked, steamed, boiled or broiled. Eating fish prepared incorrectly can only add calories. For example, frying or serving fish in heavy sauces does nothing but add on calories.
