Everyone wants to get fitness and stamina in the world. Do you agree with me? No one wants to get illness and spend the whole time on the bed. So, here I am getting focus on some rules for getting fitness and stamina. There are some rules for getting fitness. Are you ready? If yes, then read and try to follow these rules.
If you are ready to burn your fat and calories and get in shape,then ready for it.
However, many people know that burning fat is not so easy, it is challenging task. It takes a lot of will -power to give up those tasty spicy foods and other habits.
Exercise
But remember, before you follow this rules, you have to keep the aim high and cut down the calories – but it is not so easy if you don’t have the right plan.
There are definitely many things to think as balanced diet, calorie count, exercise timing and some best supplements.
But , you don’t have to worry,if you are determine to get in shape of your body and strength the muscles,then follow some basic rules and see the result after few months.
Workout
Rules
1) Limit the carb
It means that the carbs which are good for strengthening the muscles and they are stimulate fat storage by promoting the levels of insulin. So, reducing the consumption of carbs will lower the level of insulin and support the fat loss goals.
Less carbs
2) Consume less calories
If you want to achieve your goals,then you have to consume fewer calories than you are used to – this will push the body to dig deeper in your fat reserves in the search for fuel. So, a good way to start is by cutting down on excess carbs and dietary fat.
If you do this, you will burn fat.
3) Choose complex
It doesn’t mean that you should avoid carbs altogether – they are still an important part of a healthy diet.
Fast digestive carbs
Just, you should simply avoid fast digestive carbs that cause insulin peaks with slow digesting carbs. Such as, whole -grain products,corn potatoes and pumpkin in the meals .
Balanced diet
Because, these foods release glucose more slowly into the blood, offering a source of energy and keeping blood sugar and insulin levels under control.
4 ) Add more fibre in diet
As you eat the less carbohydrates then add more high fibres food in the diet.
As all of us know that adequate intake of fibre will cause a slow and steady stream of glucose in the blood helping to avoid fat – storing insulin spikes.
The best quality high – fibre foods include broccoli, cabbage,bean, spinach and green leafy vegetables.
5) Increase protein intake
Increasing protein in diet will keep feeling well while we should lowering the junk foods intake. Actually, protein is very important for stimulating the metabolism and a faster metabolic rate is the first thing we will need in order to spark up greater fat loss.
High protein supports the weight loss also. When we are trying to burn a drastic amount of fat ,our focus on protein should grow even bigger.
6) Take high protein as post workout meals
It is saying by trainer that consuming 20-30 gm protein within an hour after workout will help the body lean ,in getting shape,fat burning muscles and support faster and better recovery.
More muscles and more fat being burned up as fuel due to increased metabolic rate and higher energy requirements,so that is another good reason to enhance the muscle building efforts.
For better results, pair with post workout fast digesting carbs with 30 gm of protein powder right after the finish of training or exercise.
7) use some better supplements
Good supplements acts on the vascular system, dilating blood vessels and increasing nutrients and oxygen reaching to all muscles cells. These benefits are important for athletic performance since they increase endurance and strength.
Some trainer suggests to take nitric oxide as supplements. But remember, taking nitric oxide supplements before exercise session will enhance the blood flow, support the pump , increase growth hormone levels and speed up the metabolism.
8) Do cardio exercises
All of us know that cardio exercise is most important for fat- burning activity when it is done on an empty stomach.
Fasted cardio stimulates the release of norepinephrine, which allows for optimal fat-burning.
Cardio exercises
So,it is the best way to do cardio exercises for atleast 40 minutes for burning of calories.
I think , all of you agree with me and follow these rules for getting fitness and stamina.
Anxiety in children becomes a problem when it starts to get in the way of their day -to- day life. In anxiety, children face to fear everyday challenges,hard to concentrate,have problems with eating or sleeping,have negative thoughts going in their brain.
In children, anxiety is severe,persists and interferes with their everyday life.
Generally children tend to feel anxious about different things at different ages.
Actually, anxiety disorder affects one in eight children. It is often co- occur with depression as well as eating disorder.
Researchers say that untreated children with anxiety disorders are at higher risk to perform poorly in school, escape in social activities and engage in substance abuse.
When children misbehave whether it is because of anxiety or some other issues,it can be extremely stressful for parents.
There are so many researches trying to explain why such a rapid increase in the rates of anxiety among children.
When a child feels anxious,his behaviour can be different to manage and he may act out. Children who suffer from an anxiety disorder have face the fear , stress, nervousness and shyness. They try to avoid crowd places, and social activities. Anxiety children don’t perform better in school, game activities and trying to escape on important topics and activities.
Fearful and anxious behaviour is common in children especially as they come across new situations and experiences.
Anxiety interfere with their ability to do things that other children their age can do.
Anxiety can also result in physical symptoms such as sleeplessness, diarrhoea, stomachache and headache. Other symptoms may include irritability, difficulty concentrating and tiredness. They suffer lack of confidence.
Anxiety in children can occur due to family issues, performance in school and relationship with parents and friends.
There are different types of anxiety disorders and each disorder has different types of symptoms and treatments.
Among anxiety, generalised anxiety disorder is common. They worries like fear of bad things happening in the future such as global warming or parents divorcing, being on time or making mistakes, poor academic performance and natural disasters.
Some children have obsession or unwanted thoughts, images or urges that make them anxious or uncomfortable and they engage in compulsion ( repetitive physical or mental behaviour) .
They are starting to think that bad things are going to happen, avoiding everyday activities. Some children feeling insecure such as family arguments and conflicts or a car accident.
So, parents should focus on exploring solutions with child in stead of just talking about all the things that could go wrong. People often think of anxiety in children and teens as being displayed primarily as fearfullness and worry. This might be true when a child is afraid to leave the family in the case of seperation anxiety or having an extreme fear about something such as phobia or being afraid of social situations such as social phobia or having symptoms of panic attack such as heart palpitations, sweating, trembling and shortness of breath etc.
They are rigidity, argumentative, inflexible thinking and suffer from some somatic problems such as fatigue, headache and stomachache. They tried to avoid the social activities and getting upset easily.
So, Parents should not neglect the behaviour of their children and spend time with them.
Do you know that many cancers occur because of the lifestyle of man/woman. By modifying our lifestyle to control the risk factors we can reduce the incidence of many cancers.
Tired of being exhausted? Feeling sluggish of work?
People with cancer symptoms and signs have a lot going for them. Cancer have a very complex nature. Nearly about millions of people suffering from cancer in the world who have had some type of cancer. Some of them cancer -free ,others are still battling the disease.
There are certain factors which may not be able to modify such as age,sex,race and heredity.
1) Age- the prevalence of cancer increases with age.It is not certain whether this is due to the changes in the body as a result of the aging process, long incubation period of cancer or longer period of exposure to carcinogens.
2) Sex- Certain cancers like lung and esophageal cancers are more common in men than in women.
3) Race- Fair skinned people are more susceptible to skin cancer.
The risk factors of cancer which can modify by changing our lifestyle are:
1)Tobacco – tobacco in any form ( tobacco,bidis, chewable, cigar) is a risk factor for cancer modification.
a) stop smoking cigarettes,bidis,cigars and pipes.
b) stop use of chewing tobacco,snuffs,pan masala etc
People of the adolescents age group should be specifically targeted, because this is the age when the use of tobacco is initiated. The contents of tobacco especially nicotine are highly addictive substances and hence once hooked it is very difficult to quit the habit.
Lung cancer
2) Diet- high fat diet is a risk factor for cancer hence we should control our fat especially animal fat intake. It is better to keep away from non- vegetarian foods and excess of dairy products like ghee, butter etc. If non- vegetarian foods are used , the frequency is to be reduced and lean meat ,fish can be used.
Low fibre intake is a risk factor for colon cancer. Increased consumption of fruits and vegetables that are rich in beta carotene and Vit. A,C and E is said to offer protection against cancer. These act by hindering the formation of carcinogens or by counteracting the effects of carcinogens.
Highly salted,junk foods or preserved foods increase the incidence of gastrointestinal tract and hence their use is avoided.
3) Alcohol
Excessive alcohol consumption is another cause of cancer of the colon and other segments of the gastrointestinal tract, especially when combined with tobacco.so, the alcohol intake is to be reduced or better still stopped.
4) Obesity
Obesity is a risk factor in uterine and breast cancer. The modification suggested is to keep one’s weight in control by limiting caloric intake and by doing moderate exercise regularly.
5) Sedentary lifestyle
It pays in many ways to lead an active life. Increased physical activity is said to promote bowel contraction, which speeds up the fecal stream and reduces the time for which the colonic cells are exposed to any carcinogens in the feces,there by reducing the risk of colon cancer.
6) Sunlight
Excessive exposure to sunlight as a recreation eg. Sunbathing or occupation eg. Sailors, Farmers is an important cause of skin cancer. The risk can be decreased by reducing the time of exposure to dun especially during mid-day hours and by the use of sunscreens and protective clothing so that skin is not exposed to the radiation.
7) Occupation
Occupation exposure to asbestos, benzene, tars,chromium,nickel etc can lead to a variety of Cancers of lungs,skin, bladder and bone marrow.
So, there are modification are suggested;
1) Improved personal hygiene.
2) Daily bathing can reduce the incidence of scrotal cancers in chimney sweeps.
3) Alerting the workers to the hazards and regular medical checkup of workers.
4) Avoiding the use of masks and other protective devices.
5) Regular inspection of factories to ensure that they adhere to the safety standards.
8) Medical procedures and prescribed drugs ( iatrogenic)
Wrong or excessive use of these can lead to a variety of Cancers. This can be decline due to some safety measures like:
a) Better treatment planning eg. Careful use of anti-cancer drugs
b) Measures like addition of progesterone to hormone replacement therapy for post menopausal women has been reduced the incidence of uterine cancer.
9) Viruses
Viral infection have been implicated as causative agents in a few cancer eg. Hepatitis B in hepatocarcinoma ,human papilloma virus( HPV) in cervical cancer.
a) Vaccination against the hepatitis B virus especially in the high risk areas
b) Improved penile hygiene and use of condoms to prevent infection of cervix by HPV.
10) Genetic factors
The incidence of cancer is higher among patients with positive family histories than among unselected patients. The risk can be very high in certain groups of patients with a family history of breast Cancer or bowel cancer.
Mongolian are more likely to develop leukaemia than normal children. Osteosarcoma and thyroid cancer in twins are other examples where heredity may be involved.
So, we can concentrate more on regular screening and early detection of cancer. We can take measures like:
1) Regular physical examination eg. Breast,Eye
2) Mammography in suspect or high risk cases
3) Any symptoms or signs eg. Change in bladder or bowel habit in member of a ‘colon cancer family ‘ should be immediately investigated.
Now, you understand that the major causes of cancer such as tobacco,fat, alcohol, Obesity,UV light are clearly associated with our lifestyle.
