    Running has been one of my favorite sports activity. This is one of my passions. Not only for the health benefits but also the fun of it. It’s really cool when you are running with everyone in the Fun Run or in t […]

    • Everyone knows that running is a great way to get into shape, but did you know that it can benefit almost every part of your body, as well as lift your mood? Running is incredibly effective at making you healthier in a number of ways. While it may not be everybody’s favorite form of exercise, knowing what it can do for your life just may make you look at running in an entirely new light.

      Believe it or not, running is actually a great way to increase your overall level of health. Research shows that running can raise your levels of good cholesterol while also helping you increase lung function and use. In addition, running can also boost your immune system and lower your risk of developing blood clots.

      For women, running can actually help to lower your risk of breast cancer. It can also help reduce the risk of having a stroke. Many doctors today recommend running for people who are in the early stages of diabetes, high blood pressure, and osteoporosis, and it is proven to help reduce the risk of having a heart attack.

      By helping the arteries retain their elasticity and strengthening the heart, your chances of suffering a heart attack can be significantly reduced. tress can actually cause a number of health and mood problems.

      It can also diminish appetite and sleep quality. When you run, you force your body to exert excess energy and hormones. Running also helps to reduce your chances of developing tension headaches.

    Everyone wants a healthy heart.

     

    Nobody wants to have a problematic heart with heart diseases or cardiovascular disease that shorten a person’s life span.

     

    It is alike a ticking bomb that might exp […]

    • Keeping hearth healthy everyone wants but everyone does not know how to keep heart health 24 hours. s a young person, if you start doing small things every day that keep your body healthy, you have a better chance of living a longer, happier and healthier life.

      The things that you do to keep your heart healthy will also make you less likely to develop many other types of diseases, like type 2 diabetes and cancer.” These small steps are not expensive or difficult to take, and taking them can go a long way toward helping you feel your best.

      I say that to keep hearth healthy do these things:
      Avoid smoking and using tobacco products.
      Be physically active every day.
      Eat a heart-healthy diet.
      Keep a healthy weight.
      Keep your blood pressure healthy.
      Keep your total cholesterol healthy.
      Keep your blood sugar healthy.

      Heart disease is also known as cardiovascular disease or “CVD.” CVD is a very serious health condition that keeps the heart or blood vessels from working properly. When our heart and blood vessels are working at their best, blood flows easily and is circulated around the body freely.

      If there is a clog in our blood vessels or if our heart is not pumping blood properly, this prevents blood from being delivered to many important parts of our body. Not having blood constantly delivered to the many important parts of our body can cause serious illness or even death.

      Although some people are born with certain types of CVD, most people develop CVD as a result of poor lifestyle habits, such as eating unhealthy foods, not getting enough exercise or using tobacco.

    • It is indeed a nice and informative post. We should reduce the use of oil and ghee as it is co-related with heart issues. Eating high fat content and sparing no time for exercise or walk will make the things tougher for our heart.
      So, it is a better idea to stop consuming fats.

    • Since I reached 45 , I started getting healthy. I would always eat fruits and vegetables. I would exercise and would do household chores such as cleaning the bedroom, cooking and others just so my body can be activated.

      I also would start dieting whenever my tummy becomes protruding. I would eat just an apple just for dinner.

      Most of all, I learn to relax and avoid stress, because I know stress can make us sick .

      So far, I don’t have maintenance medicines. Though, sometime my cholesterol would shoot above the normal and I have to do medication for a month and two. After that, it would normalize, so I will try maintaining it. However, sometimes it would go up again, so since I don’t do my exercise on weekdays anymore because I am too tired already from work at night, I take medication for a month or two .

      Lately, I know I have been eating some fatty foods again. So, I eat more fruits to wash them and plan to exercise 30 minutes every night once I arrive from work.

      And you are right – commitment to exercise is a must. he he he

    We have schedule for running in our city. It is sponsored by one of the hospital and dubbed to promote good health of the people. There are three categories that include 6 kilometers; 12 kilometers and 18 […]

    • Running activates the whole body organs especially life organs that produce power for men’ whole body 24 hours that is running for everyone is must as routine.

      Belief is everything. In the past nine months I’ve learned a lot of lessons about self confidence. When you toe the start line at 6am for an ultra you will have doubts, just as you did for the first half or full marathon.

      It’s natural and the adrenaline is a good thing, but having experience – good and bad – to call on as a confidence booster is vital. Test yourself in your training runs. Put in a big hill at mile 13, stay on your feet for an extra half hour, even though you feel like you’re done. When you survive your belief will rocket.

      There’s a popular quote about endurance events. “It’s 90 per cent mental. The other 10 per cent is all in your head.” This isn’t just a neat phrase, it’s entirely true. Your preparation needs to be mental and physical.

      Learn to anticipate the tough bits but don’t fear them. Think about how you’re going to deal with the tiredness. Eventually you’ll recognise the feeling and be far more likely to push through the fatigue when it inevitably arrives.

    • That was very nice sport running, you know as an athelet you need to practice very hard because they other contenders which are preparing to win the race, you need to have a good coach which will teach you everything about what you want inback, to run is very hard sport but if you can time you time to practice you will go they and comeback as a winner. I love sports but my favorite was a football as am taking to you now am fan of cheseafc football club of england, that is my club fan them and i like the pattern of their playing, sports bring unity of countries to countries i really enjoy sports.

In our place the ingredients include fruits like cubed apple, papaya, cherries, pineapple and many more. But in here the brown sugar is one of the ingredient. I actually thought this is a nata de coco which our place really good in making this.

      But the most important is the many recipes we can make from the coconut fruit. We sometimes make buko salad which comprises of many kinds of fruits with the main ingredient of the coconut. This is just good for this Christmas season.

    • Ancient Chinese legend has it that dedication to the health benefits of lychee prompted consumption of several hundred lychees per day. The results of this practice aren’t reported. But there is medical proof that lychees can relieve coughing, ease abdominal pain, and have a positive effect on tumors and swollen glands. The seeds are prescribed for testicular inflammation and neuralgia pain.

      Tea made from lychee peelings is said to cure smallpox and diarrhea. In India, the seeds are ground to make tea for stomach trouble. Parts of the bark, root, and lychee flowers are gargled for sore throat.

      Lychee is rich in dietary fiber to help maintain optimum regularity and a healthy weight. One of this fruit’s most plentiful and unique nutrients is oligonol, which contains a number of valuable antioxidants with the ability to fight flu viruses, improve blood flow, and protect the skin from UV rays.

      Lychee is loaded with vitamin C, providing 119% of the recommended daily value in one serving. This further protects against colds and other infections, helps the body develop resistance, and fights inflammation.

      Other nutritive ingredients in lychee include high levels of B vitamins, such as vitamin B6, as well as potassium (which helps help control heart rate and blood pressure and stave off strokes and heart disease), thiamin, niacin, folate, and copper (which produces red blood cells, maintains healthy bones, prevents thyroid problems, and anemia). All these are vital for maintaining carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolization.

      However, consume lychees in moderation because they contain fructose, which may be harmful to your health in excessive amounts.
