What are supplements? When people don't get enough nutrients in their balanced diet, they usually look to supplements to help with some type of nutrition. One type of supplements that are popular are nutrition bars.
Supplements are especially important if we do not intake enough vitamins necessary for our bodies.
As you can see, if you do not get enough vitamins in your well designed balance, supplements can help a great deal. Billie Recently, you're able to see a lot of YouTube videos about acne, especially those with big black heads. Eww!
First of all, try not to watch videos as 3 am (just kidding), but let's discuss the topic of acne. Acne has physical and psychological effects. This is especially true for teenagers. Most feel awkward and different already, then just for giggles, let's add acne. Is there a solution? Some things that might trigger acne:
Billie Along with the normal pressures of being a teenager, how does one become healthier?
Ponder this, the healthy habits that teenagers pick up today will likely carry with them as adults. How can we make sure that this is a success? I'd say the best habit to start with is getting enough sleep. They younger years can have a lot of time taken up by homework, sports, projects, band, and choir. Add to this mix some social media, and you're seeing teenagers stay up later. One of my teenagers likes to fall asleep while listening to music. I haven't quite figured out how to respond to this, but she isn't on any social media to keep her up. Next, introduce them to healthy eating habits. Make it known that breakfast is very important. One suggestion is to include at least 5 grams of fiber in your breakfast to help meet fiber and weight control goals. Another subject to approach is peer pressure. This is the prime time for peer pressure to take effect. Cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs can make a lifelong impact to young ones. Just remember, teenagers can have a lot on their plates, and guiding them through this and steering them to good habits and staying away from bad habits will ensure that they have a successful healthy lifestyle. Billie For some reason, I haven't heard too much about Stoptober. What is it?
Stoptober, launched in 2012 by the Public Health England (PHE), is a 28 day stop smoking challenge. It's a really good name for the month. This is based on the idea that if you can stop smoking for 28 days, you are five times more likely to be able to quit for good. PHE indicates that there lots of ways to quit, and that folks should choose what is right for them. You can use medication, patches, or even e-cigarettes. In order to help you to quit smoking, there are online communities, mobile apps, and counselors to help you through the challenge. Do yourself a favor and check out the PHE at https://www.nhs.uk/oneyou/stoptober/ Billie As we have stated before, having a healthy lifestyle is easy to achieve.
One important thing you can do, is to involve the whole family. We should be introducing a healthy lifestyle to young children. One good way is through imitation. When I first starting working out in the basement to my videos, I really wanted to quit. I was rough. Then one night while in the basement, I saw two of my kids peeking around the corner of the stairs, watching me workout. I knew then that I couldn't give up while they were watching. Kids pay attention to us more than we think. Another fun way, is to have the kids involved in the kitchen. Yes, they must be supervised with sharp objects, or slowly introduce the sharp "ouchie" makers to them. Young kids love to be in the fridge anyway, so you might as well let them get involved with gathering of ingredients. What could be a more fun way to bond with your kids? At last, the best part is sitting down and just sharing a meal time together. These are the memories that will stick with them. They will pass it on to their kids, and so on. Your descendants decades later might never meet you, but you may impact them quite a bit with the habits that you start today. In other words, you may never meet them, but your blood will run in their veins along with everyday healthy living habits. Billie Hi all. I really wanted to do a few more posts about healthy lifestyles before moving on to specific topics. I believe it'll be a good spot to talk about depression. Depression can be very frightening. With the autumn equinox just recently, it reminds us that winter is near. Yes, autumn is a pretty time to see leaves changing colors, and fun holidays such as Halloween around the corner. Since we like to focus on a healthy lifestyle, try these few things to help ease your mind:
So give it a shot! Just start waving at random folks while your driving. It's kinda fun. Make it a game. Try to do this at least 5 times a day. You get points if they wave back. You get bonus points if you wave at someone while they are picking their noses, and they have to stop to wave back... Priceless! All in all, I do care about you. I want you to know that you do matter. You have accomplished more than you think, and you will do more in your future than you will ever know. Billie #YouAreNotAlone Take a look at the The Gratitude Workbook in order to find peace.
Want to begin a healthier lifestyle? It can be very easy.
Just taking small steps will make this easier. Just think of the saying, "inch by inch, it's a cinch". Start by walking around your neighborhood in the evening, before the sun goes down. Do this with your child in order to get them familiar with the neighborhood to prepare for trick or treat night. This is also a sneaky way to burn calories. Having a balanced diet goes hand in hand with a healthy lifestyle. Stay away from junk food. One rule of thumb is to only focus on foods that can rot easy such as vegetables and fruits. You can also think of using the amount of legs that your food has. A vegetable can be considered as having one leg, the stalk of the plant. Then, chicken with two legs, and beef comes from four legs. You can see the pattern that having 4 legs isn't necessarily bad. I love hamburgers, but the less legs tend to be something you would consume more often those those with more "legs". You need to get enough sleep, because your body can become exhausted. My mother used to tell me that a body grows when you are asleep. Puppies sleep. Babies sleep. Your boss sleeps! I remember when my kids were young enough to take naps, and they didn't feel like it. I would tell them that I didn't remember the last time that I, myself, did not want to take a nap! Getting more sleep can be an easy way to catapult your way to a healthier lifestyle. What advice would you give to help others that are starting a healthier lifestyle, in order to make it easy? Billie Welcome to the first post!
I know I'm supposed to focus on a specific niche in a health blog. I'm not going to go in that direction. I want to make this more of a magazine concept, and be a motivating force behind the will of those who decided to live a healthy life. Subjects covered may include:
So let's hang out and have a little bit of fun with a topic that may be taboo for most. I appreciate any comments on what should be discussed for future posts. Don't be shy. Together, we'll make this great. Billie |
