You can track your calories and exercise in many practical ways. Many people like to approximate how much they’ve exercised and how many calories they’ve eaten, while some people prefer to track everything with precision. Various helpful devices and phone apps can count daily steps, record workouts, and estimate calories burned. Or, you can decide in advance that you will work out for a set amount of time or that you’ll walk a certain distance, with or without a tracking device. The easiest way to track calories is to use an app on your smartphone. If you rather use a computer there are several websites that will calculate your calories burned by simply answering a few questions like height, weight, and age.

  There are two kinds of age. Chronological Age and Biological Age are not the same. The first one is the age we count on a calendar and the second is the way your body looks and feels. I found this photo and the post on WebMD.com. Mother and Daughter photo. It takes more than money to look that look when you are over 55. Your face, your skin, and your eyes are a mirror of your body's health. Sure your doctor will take a few tests and tell you that your doing good and to keep it up. But he’s looking at your health as it compares to the history of your health.  Aging is really not about how old you are in chronological years, aging is about how old you are in biological years. A study done at a university in New Zealand recently showed that out of the 1000 people in the study of people in their late 30s, Some had a biological age as high as 60 and some of them have actually stopped aging.  You can’t reverse aging but the study shows that in some cases people have actually ...

Is Sugar Bad For Your Brain? 5.3 million Americans currently have  Alzheimer's disease , and that number is projected to sharply increase as our population ages. As we look at various ways to  reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease  and other  types of dementia , including  mild cognitive impairment , one of the many areas that has been studied frequently is that of sugar. We Americans, in general, love our sugar. But is it possible that sugar increases our likelihood of developing  dementia ? Research on Sugar and Cognitive Functioning There's an already established link between type 2 diabetes and the development of dementia. But how does sugar affect people who  don't  have diabetes? Multiple studies have been conducted on how sugar, or more specifically, glucose levels in our blood, impact cognition. A few of them include the following: In 2008, the journal  Neuroepidemiology  published research that measured the fasting i...

  Skipping Meals Promotes Belly Fat Source: Kliewer K, Ke J, Belury M The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry Skipping Meals Promotes Belly Fat Storage, Increases Risk For Insulin Resistance I want to reblog this article because this is a common mistake that everyone makes when they first think about losing weight. The author Justin Caba writes for MedicalDaily.com where you can always find valuable information. Skipping meals leads to abdominal weight gain. Beginners have a hard time grasping that concept. It's not usually the amount of food you eat that puts fat on your body. It's the kind of food you eat. Eating less of a bad diet is still a bad diet and you won't lose fat. You can lose weight without losing fat, but that's why people gain the weight back. Too much body fat is different for everyone. Your "body mass" is about 80% of your total weight. The rest is bones and organs and the contents of the digestive system. Your body retains about three days o...

  All exercise isn't complicated or takes an hour a day. I found this post on VeryWell.com and saved it. After the holidays, when most of us are looking to lose a few pounds, this is a simple routine to get your blood pumping.  By   Alyssa Hui   Published on October 12, 2023 Print   Morsa Images/Getty Key Takeaways A new study found climbing more than five flights of stairs (or 50 stair steps) daily may reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as stroke, heart attacks, and blood clots.  Experts say stair climbing increases your heart rate, which in turn helps strengthen the heart muscle, lowers blood pressure, and lowers cholesterol.  Other strategies to prevent heart disease include not smoking, limiting alcohol, and improving sleep. Nearly 48% of adults in the United States have  heart disease , and it’s the leading cause of death for most Americans. 1 2  There are steps that people can take to reduce their risk of cardiovascular di...
