    0 comments / Posted on by Bold Commerce

    Anyone who has a grueling daily routine and has to deal with a multitude of things like work, studies, tending to the home and children will often put physical activities at the bottom of the list of concerns. However, these priorities need to be rethought.

    The importance of physical activity for health and quality of life is enormous and can better all other aspects of your life - this can be seen through the benefits the practice brings.

    Check out some reasons to start exercising - as well as understanding what needs to be done before starting an activity.


    Increase in disposition
    This is the first change that a new physical activity practitioner will notice: a significant increase in disposition during routine tasks. That is, those who practice physical exercises wake up more willing and don't tire easily throughout the day.

    And the best: to get that energy, you do not have to spend hours in the gym. Start with something simple and do not take your body to the extreme. A stretch followed by a light jog or walk for half an hour a day is enough to see results!

    Improved conditioning
    In addition to burning fat, those who exercise regularly begin to notice a gradual definition of the muscles worked.

    It is also worth noting that there is an improvement in mental conditioning when we spend more energy with exercise. This makes it easier to focus on day-to-day tasks - and productivity at work and in education increases dramatically.

    Great tips for a more balanced diet.

    Tip 1 - Eat several times a day

    Eating foods often will allow the body to find a balance, avoiding oscillations between deprivation and overeating. Avoiding "starvation" is essential for stabilizing energy levels, for our mood, and for making rational, balanced food choices. 

    Tip 2 - Do not skip breakfast

    Breakfast helps stabilize blood sugar levels, which in turn regulate appetite and energy. Thus, people who take it are less likely to feel hungry and to consume excess food for the rest of the day. 

    Tip 3 - Reinforce your diet with vegetables and salads

    Vegetables are highly nutritious and low in calories and should therefore be the basis of any healthy diet.

    Tip 4 - Consume 2 to 3 pieces of fruit per day

    Fruits are an excellent choice, whether for a snack or for dessert. You can choose fresh fruit, cooked or roasted, but always without added sugar. 

     

    Tip 5 - Get into the habit of eating soup - one of the pillars of Mediterranean food!

    A bowl of vegetable soup for example is rich in water, fiber, vitamins and cereals. Soup helps to reduce appetite, keeps blood sugar levels more stable and still helps the bowel's function! An excellent choice for dinner ...
