Four reasons why Sleeping is important?

by Common Man, posted in Fitness

Our assumption is when we sleep we are giving rest to mind and body. But that is not the case, sleeping is the active period whereas our mind gets stabled and restored. The average sleeping hours for a grown adult is eight hours minimum. And for kids minimum Ten to twelve hours.  Sometimes if you feel stressed or not in a position to take a decision just have a quick sleep and think again your brain will get restored and you can able to explore new ideas. Listing out four major reasons why we need more sleep.

To maintain weight:

Improving your sleep can be the pivotal reason to maintain weight. Many studies proved that who sleeps less than 6 hours are more likely to have higher BMI (Body Mass Index). Poor sleep will lead to food cravings sooner.

Improves memory:

If you sleep properly your memory gets stabilized and strengthened and even during daytime naps. Regular sleeping helps the brain to put together the events that have happened during the day and ensure that it gets stored as a long term memory.

Muscle Building:

People who hits the gym will definitely sleep for eight hours. Gym sessions could help in muscle building. The actual growth of muscle happens when the body is at rest. During weight training at the gym seems to break down your muscle fibers. Hence the actual building of those sore muscles happens only when you sleep.

Healthy Heart:

Research shows that people who sleeps for eight hours are less likely to suffer from strokes or cardiac arrest. Sleep helps to keep the blood pressure at lower level and heart less stressed while pumping blood. Insufficient sleeps lead to obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes which results in Cardiac arrest.

Can we take bath after eating?

by Common Man, posted in Fitness

Definitely not a good practice to do so. Taking bath after eating will interfere the process of digestion. People who have slow digestion mechanism will highly suffer because of this. This leads to indigestion, acidity or stomach ache. For some cases people will faint. Our digestion system requires lot of energy and a good blood flow towards the stomach. So when you take bath right after your meal it will affects the body temperature. Normally it is advised to wait at least one hour to get digested or taking bath before meal is well and good.

Digestive problems

Our ancestors followed all these processes and had a healthy life. Normally when you take bath after your meal it directly affects the blood flow and as a result some chemical substances been released and transport more of blood to the nerves system. As a result, because of the low body temperature the digestive process been ignored which leads to some other major digestion problems.

5 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Skip Breakfast

by Common Man, posted in Fitness

Breakfast is the most important meal that we must not skip in order to stay healthy, and not to gain pounds. The school or work schedules of many people have made them to perpetually skip breakfast.

Our body, just like any other organism, needs a fuel to be able to work properly. But those who skip breakfast tend to eat more portions of food than usual at the next meal. There are so many reasons why people shouldn’t skip breakfast, but here are the main ones:

Healthy breakfast

Helps to maintain a healthy weight

People who eat breakfast have a much better chance of losing pounds. When you skip meals, you feel so hungry by lunch that you eat too much food. The National Weight Control Registry reports that 90 % of people who eat breakfast daily lost 30 or more pounds and have kept their weight off.

While you might think the easiest way to cut calories is to skip a meal altogether, eating throughout the day helps maintain and speed up your metabolism. If you eat a healthy whole grain breakfast paired with fruits, your body will feel more satisfied and you will not feel the urge to reach for that mid-day snack to help curb your hunger.

Keeps your heart healthy

People who don’t eat breakfast are going to be hungrier later in the day and eat more food than necessary. Those meals mean the body must process a higher number of calories in a shorter time period. That can lead to clogged arteries and cause spike sugar levels in the blood.

Most breakfasts are nutritious, low in cholesterol, low in fat, high in protein, and high in vitamins. These are all the stepping stones needed to maintain a healthy heart and an overall healthy lifestyle. Just avoid the donuts and the pastries on a daily basis.

Breakfast improves metabolism

Your blood sugar level drops down in the morning, so you need food that can provide you energy to get through the day. Our body needs fuel to keep it running, and the nighttime is the longest time in the refueling process. To keep your metabolism in a good shape you need to eat breakfast at least 2 hours of waking up.

Increased energy level

If you skip breakfast, it is possible that your organism may be up to 12 hours or longer without any food taken. By this point, your muscles need more glycogen, for energy, so the longer you don’t eat, the more glycogen your muscles use, and the less energy you have. Skipping breakfast is a common factor among those who have sedentary lifestyles, and in order to change that lifestyle you must keep your energy level high, eat a healthy breakfast each day.

Better concentration

When you feel hungry for a longer time, besides feeling the physical effects, such as headaches, weakness, and stomach discomfort, you can have mental effects too. Hunger affects your mood, concentration, and alertness, which can be very frustrating. Eating a healthy breakfast that mixes fruits and vegetables, low-fat protein food and whole grains, helps improve your concentration and focus, and allows you to stay productive through lunch.

Top 5 Reasons to Drink Water!

by Common Man, posted in Fitness

Although water has no taste, it is the most important drink, and has become the second most popular drink (behind soft drinks) around the world. Since our bodies are made up of around 60% water, it’s a nutrient we need to function properly. Generally, it is recommended that we drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. However, that has not been scientifically proven to be true and therefore is seen as more of a guideline. This doesn’t mean you don’t need water though. It just means that no matter how many ounces of water your body needs each day, you should be able to tell by listening to your body and recognizing when it’s thirsty.

Since our bodies lose water everyday through breathing, sweating and digestion, it is important that we stay hydrated and continue to replace the water being lost. Here are 5 top reasons to drink water everyday:

Aids in digestion and helps remove waste from your body:

Digestion, which starts with saliva, needs water to help break down food and other nutrients. Once food is digested, water is then needed to help dissolve fiber and allow the body to create healthy soft stools that are easy to pass. The kidneys, intestines and liver also rely on water to flush out waste and move food through your intestinal tract.

Helps control calories:

While water won’t make you magically drop pounds, substituting it for other beverages such as soda, will definitely help. In addition, water-rich foods are also good because they are healthier, more filling and aid in trimming calorie intake. Water-rich foods are also absorbed more slowly by the body, which helps you feel fuller for longer. Water-rich foods include oatmeal, beans, fruits and vegetables.

Energizes muscles and maximizes physical performance:

When muscles don’t have an adequate amount of water, they become fatigued and performance is affected. Therefore, fluid intake is important before, during and after exercising or participating in any kind of physical activity that causes you to sweat and lose water. Dehydration can lead to altered body temperature, decreased motivation, increased fatigue and overall difficulty with physical and mental activity.

Helps to prevent and treat headaches:

Dehydration headaches are one of the most common forms of headaches. Dehydration reduces your blood volume which affects the amount of oxygen-rich blood flowing to the brain. The result: pain. Drinking enough water will prevent these kinds of headaches and even migraines from happening. Several studies have also shown that water can reduce the intensity and the duration of those headaches.

Helps keep your skin glowing:

Drinking enough water can make a big difference in how your skin looks. Without enough water your skin can look duller, and wrinkles and pores are more noticeable. Water plumps up the skin filling in pores and wrinkles, making them less apparent. Also, when skin is hydrated it is less likely to become dry and cracked. When your skin isn’t cracking, it makes it harder for bacteria to get in and cause blemishes.

Think for a Moment!

by Common Man, posted in Mind

Life is not like a game or movie to either start again or rewind back to the previous scene or incident. Once it is happened its done you can’t roll back. Today when I am traveling back to home there was an incident where two bikers riding without any safety gears at high speed who doesn’t know what’s waiting for them in the next five minutes. The motive here is to showcase themselves as hero, to impress girls, or to race with others. I am not saying they don’t have talent, but riding in public is not the right forum. There is a separate platform for racers, showcase your talent there, ride for your state, ride for your city or country.

Then it is called a racing and people will appraise you. At-last here what happened, the two met with an accident. One dead on the spot and another taken to the hospital. Think about their family for a second!. A mother will be waiting for his son with his favorite dish cooked. A wife or kid will be waiting for him to share the incidents happened for the day and have supper together.

But here the person lying on the road bleeding. Don’t think that someone will save you. Everyone is busy with their priorities to focus, they will just feel pity for a second and leave. Only you have to be careful and save yourselves. Before over-speeding realize what you are doing at that moment, control your mind from temporary fun ride. It might be your passion but what if it goes wrong. If any good souls there in the spot might call ambulance or pass the information to the family. The person who was taken to hospital might recovered soon, but think for a moment if he is loosing his hand or leg. Just think about your family, your friends for a minute. I recently came across a Facebook post which says a person kept his family picture nearby his car digital meter. Whenever he starts his car, it reminds him of his family which makes him conscious to avoid over-speeding. I am not asking you to keep the picture in the same way but before starting your vehicle just think for a moment about your family which I am doing it regularly. Dear minds, life is precious, once it is lost you can’t get back. Ride safely!!

Dessert after meal?

by Common Man, posted in Fitness

There is a common habit within the people after having meal to have a dessert to fulfill the meal course. Without that they won’t feel complete. People who are in diet will sometimes ask why can’t i have just a piece of sweet after meal. Quantity doesn’t matter, a drop of poison will make the entire bowl poisoned. It is not a healthy habit to have sweets after meals. Already the required proteins, vitamins, sugar, fibre etc will be there in the meal. If you add more sugar to it then having diet meal is a complete mess. Instead try to have fruits. Thats the better way to make you feel fulfilled.

If you still feel like having sweet, then there is an alternate for white sugar. You can have Brown sugar(contains molasses), Coconut sugar(made up from coconut palm tree) or Natural Honey. You can have sweets made up with these ingredients but with less quantity and mainly give a time gap from your meal. Your meal should get digested or else it will get collapsed.

21st Century Concern

by Common Man, posted in Fitness

Hello minds! In the modern era, most of our concerns falls on our appearance. Either we want to look fair, to reduce weight and look slim or to grow more taller. May be sometimes being more taller is a concern for some. These are all the God’s little trick to make you feel concern all time. Because if there is no problems or concerns in your life then you are going in the wrong way. Problems and failures should be there in your life in order to lead a successful life.

So lets not focus on the problems/issues now. In this article, we will focus on the people who are trying to reduce their weight and look slim. Of course, I am one of the victim who tried to reduce the weight all time in life and achieved by understanding my body. After that my life has changed, it’s like a new chapter of your life. You can wear the dresses you were longing to wear for long time when you do that your confidence level will increase and you will have a positive energy with you. OK! lets talk about why people are being fat? Do you think fat guys are eating a lot? The answer is a big NO.

There are many reasons there of being fat. Either it can be genetic problem or your mind is not sync with your body. You should communicate with your body, you should understand what type of foods your body can accept. One of the major reason for overweight is stress eating. people will eat more when they are in complete stress, continuous failures in business, couldn’t get a new job, etc.. Like this we can list out many. You have to overcome the stress, rather than focusing on food, you can do the things which you like the most. Hear your favorite songs or watch your favorite hero’s movie. When I got stressed from my work I will read novels or I will play online games. Thats depends on the individuals.

Currently many new technologies, equipments and medicines arrived for weight loss. The results will be very sooner but once you stopped following them you will be doubled the size of your previous weight. Moreover in future many complications and side effects will come. Some don’t have the patience and falling into the latest technology traps. Remember one thing this is my favorite mantra and I keep on murmuring into my mind ” If you want something you have never had, you must be willing to do something you have never done” So minds just understand your body and feed what it can accept.

Just a small hack – avoid junk foods, don’t skip your breakfast, evening before 6 PM finish off your dinner, instead of having more quantity of food at a time split your meal and mainly try to avoid sugar which is the major reason for weight gain and some deadly diseases. Have more boiled vegetables and fruits. So eat healthy and have a healthy life. I will write a specific blog about diet plans and actual side effects of Sugar. Till then stay healthy, Happy Dieting!!
