7 reasons why you should start playing sports

by

The health benefits from doing sports should by no means be ignored.

There are activities for absolutely every body type and personality – whether you cardio exercises, team sports or individual activities – you will  easily find a sport that will suit you!
And we are here to persuade you to start doing sports! 🙂
We have 7 reasons why you should start playing sports immediately!

1. Weight control

This may be the most important argument for the ladies! 🙂 Sport is absolutely the quickest and most effective way to have the perfect body. Proper nutrition will lead you halfway, because without physical activity there will be no real results.
When you exercise, the body uses the energy stored in the form of fatty deposits (excess weight) and uses the calories that you consume through food.
But do not worry, it is not necessary to sweat in the fitness center or gym for hours. It is enough just to do a shout run and instead of using the elevator use the stairs.

 

2. Health control

No matter how fit you are, the practice of sport is essential for your health! Physical activity strengthens high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or “good” cholesterol and reduces the unhealthy triglycerides. It ensures a good blood flow, which reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. In fact, regular physical activity can help prevent or control a wide variety of health problems, including stroke, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, depression, certain cancers, arthritis….

3. Improving mood

Need emotional energy? Or need to eliminate the stress after a hard day? Practicing in the gym or a short 30-minute walk can help. Physical activity stimulates the secretion of serotonin – the hormone of happiness, which is directly responsible for happy feelings. You will automatically feel better when it comes to your appearance and it will increase your self-confidence.

4. Charging your batteries 

The more energy you’ll spend, the more you’ll have it! Regular physical activity will improve your muscle strength and will boost your endurance. Physical activity contributes to a better nutrients and oxygen flow to the tissues and your cardiovascular system will work more efficiently. When your heart and lungs work efficiently, you have more energy to deal with everyday things.

5. Sports will improve your sleep

Regular physical activity will improve the quality of sleep! The faster you fall asleep the better you’ll feel in the morning, without waking up all the time and having restless dreams. But do exercise right before sleeping because your body will be too excited to fall asleep.

6. Improvement of sexual life

Every day you’re exhausted from work and you can’t do absolutely anything, let alone be intimate with your partner. This is how you enter the vicious circle of frustration and tiredness. Physical activity can help you here too. As we said it energizes you, and you will look and feel better, which will certainly have an influence on your intimate relationship! Sports can increase sexual desire in women.

7. Exercise can be fun!

Exercise and physical activity can be a fun way to spend your free time. It gives you the opportunity to relax, enjoy the outdoors or simply engage in activities that make you happy. Physical activity can also help you connect with family or friends in a fun way. So, go dancing, go on hiking or join the volleyball team. Find a physical activity that you’ll enjoy. If you get bored, try something new.

Protein salad with chickpeas!

by

Breakfast – the most important meal of the day! Eat simple protein salad in the morning so you have enough energy and proteins for workout and work.

For this bomb of a salad you will need :

  1. Lettuce
  2. Spinach
  3. Cherry tomatoes or tomatoes
  4. Chickpeas
  5. Sesame
  6. Black seed
  7. Himalayan salt
  8. Olive oil
  9. Apple cider vinegar

– The amount of the ingredients is according to your personal preference and number of portions. The one I’ll show you is done by my preference 🙂

To prepare this nutritive bomb, first you’ll need to wash up the chickpeas nicely and put them in water during the night. The next step is to boil the chickpeas for 20-30 minutes. Drain the water from the chickpeas and store it in refrigerator in a container with a lid. The prepared chickpeas can be used for couple of days so you can make more for other meals or for the same salad for the next day because it is worth it! The chickpeas are a great source for protein!

To finish up this salad you will need to clean all the ingredients nicely, chop and put the lettuce and spinach in a nice salad dish, and add the cherries and chickpeas in the dish. After that, add vinegar and himalayan salt and finish up with olive oil and  black and sesame seeds.

Be careful this salad is a true nutritive bomb, with a lot of protein and you will need to spend that energy. For that I prefer my 25 minute morning exercising for burning up fat and and making my belly look nice 🙂  wish you the best, here is the link of the exercise!

Contrast showers against cellulite

by

It is true this treatment is a little unpleasant, but it is very effective, and we have to work hard for beauty.

The weather gets better and better, not to mention that summer is coming so we need to get ready for swimwear. Everybody wants to look good and eliminate the excessive weight and cellulite that accumulated due to unhealthy diet.
The treatment is called contrast shower.
Check out how the treatment affects the reduction of cellulite and why it is so effective.

Contrast shower is the process of switching/changing the temperature from hot to cold water and back again.

The hot water on your body affects the expansion of blood vessels and lymph, while cold water narrows them. They both have positive effects on our health, which is why the combination of hot and cold water in the shower is an excellent treatment against cellulite, because it improves circulation and it is an efficient detoxification treatment.
How does contrast showers work?

Contrast showers boosts lymph drainage and restore blood to the heart. This affects the efficient elimination of toxins and harmful substances from the cells that are routed through the bloodstream to the liver and kidneys.
Cellulite is the result of six factors – weakened circulation and lymphatic drainage, chronic inflammation, accumulation of toxins in our body, relaxation of the skin, accumulation of fat and weak tissue regeneration. Contrast showering directly influences the first three factors – improves circulation, the tissues receive more oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously releasing the toxins and waste. Thus, it relieves chronic inflammation, so this treatment works on the other three factors. 

The cold water on your body stimulates the release of noradrenaline and norepinephrine – hormones that are crucial in the regulation of adipose tissue. However, showering with cold water only will not have the desired effect. You will develop tolerance to the cold water and the effect will not be as effective as the contrast showers.
The hot water expands the arteries and veins, which increases the flow of nutrients and oxygen to the cells. On the other hand, showering with only hot water can cause side effects such as water retention in the body and chronic inflammation.

So, the best solution is to combine hot and cold water in the shower. You don’t have to make any sudden changes in the temperature. Let’s say – start showering with warm hot, then gradually reduce to cold. Then gradually return to hot water and repeat this process until the end of the shower. It is recommended that you finish showering with cold water in order to make the effects last longer.
