Physical Fitness Linked to Brain Fitness

Study: Physical Fitness Linked to Brain Fitness

Staying physically fit isn't just good for your health. It's also a good way to beef up your brain, according to new research. 

Led by Laura Chaddock-Heyman, a research scientist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's Beckman Institute, a team of researchers found greater aerobic fitness is associated with more fibrous and compact white matter, a type of nerve tissue connected to learning and brain function. Previous research has shown more compact white matter fibers can lead to improved cognitive performance.

More physically fit children had stronger brain tissue linked to cognition.

The Hindu

Eat right to weigh less.

Looking for a new slim-down mantra? Just take a close look at your plate. Eating the right kind of food helps you drop a few pounds a week by reviving calorie burn and curbing cravings.

More veggies: The simple formula to losing weight is in being more aware of the calories you consume. Most people consume too many calories via fat, sugar and salt, but don’t get enough fruits, vegetables and fibre. Vegetables and alkaline fruits high in phytochemicals and other vitamins and minerals help balance the grains that form in the muscle tissues. The vegetables that have the highest amount minerals are broccoli, mustard greens, cucumber, radicchio, dandelion, lettuce and wheatgrass. Of the fruits, go for apple, kiwi, pineapple, grapefruit, berries and plums.

Don’t miss breakfast: The most important meal of the day is breakfast. It is the key factor in promoting long-term weight management. People who skip breakfast feel heavier and more sluggish than those who eat a healthy breakfast. Eat your first meal within an hour of waking up. This helps maintain hormone and blood sugar levels and also keeps your energy high. It also helps kickstart your metabolic process, leading to more calories being burnt through the day.

Home-made food: As far as possible, bring your own lunch to work rather than eat out. For those who can’t manage this, pick items that are grilled, steamed or poached. These will be easily digested and keep you feeling light.

Avoid junk food: Junk food

Medical Problems Every Winter

Neeraj Mehta

Most common medical problems every winter:

Cold and Cough      

Cold is a viral infectious disease one of the common medical problem in winters. Symptoms include coughing, sneezing, runny nose, sore throat, and fever which usually resolve in 4 to 6 days,

Consume plenty of vegetables and fruits for vitamin C, garlic and hot peppers which act as natural decongestants to reverse cold.

Relieve a cold with ginger tea.

Drink lots of luck warm water, and also can take steam and but avoid too much of tea, coffee and soft drinks.

Avoid dairy and fried food, because they lead to increase the production of mucus

Sore throat

Another big challenge in winters is some people are prone to developing a sore throat, when they consume any hot and cold drink, extra spice food.

If you get a sore throat, drink luck warm liquids can include clear soups and brew plenty of ginger tea as it soothes the throat.

Avoid using your voice at high pitch, speak in a low. Gargle regularly with little warm water and put salt in it.

Pineapples are very beneficial in curing sore throat as they are good source of vitamin C, with useful amount of Vitamin B6, folate, thiamine, iron and manganese.

Add lemon to hot water or weak tea, to loosen mucus and ease pain during sour throat.

Can soothes the throat by adding clear soups and ginger tea.

Urinary problems

People consume less water in winters, the result less urine and it becomes yellowish and a urinary infection could be the result. Changes in the kidneys' structure cause them to lose some of their ability to remove wastes from the blood. Also, the muscles in bladder ureters and bladder, get some stiffness also loss some of their strength because of cold weather.

Hot spices are to be strictly avoided.

One should be given as much water as possible to drink.

Fresh lemon juice, fresh sugarcane juice, orange juice coconut water and pineapple juice are extremely useful in this condition.

The patient should be given fruits like grapefruit, apple, pineapple, grapes, peaches and plums in good quantity.

Worsening of asthma     

The cold air that winter brings can set off asthma attacks. Because of cold and contaminated air, upper respiratory infections are common in the winter time can cause asthma attacks.

In winter the dry cold air coursing through the nasal passages and large airways reach the small airways and irritate heir lining thus causing an attack.

Need to keep the suggested medication close at hand and breathe through the nose, not mouth.

When going out from home, cover your nose and mouth.

It's possible that the stomach acid reflux that causes heartburn may damage lung airways and worsen asthma symptoms, so need to drink lot of fluids to metabolize food easily.

Eat fruits and vegetables. Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables may increase lung function and reduce asthma symptoms.

Maintain a healthy weight and exercise regularly: Being overweight can worsen asthma symptoms, and leads to higher risk of other health problems. Include cardio and resistance exercises in your daily fitness regime to improve lungs diffusion capacity in winters.

Skin problems

One of the most common problem in winter is that of dry skin, because of lack of ewater balance in the body. If we consume less water, we can easily see dryness in the skin.

First remedy is to drink lot of water.  Apply a good moisturiser twice a day, once in the morning after bath and once at night for entire body. Instead of using soap which is high in alkaline content, it’s better to have your skin wash with yogurt.

It is a good idea to apply sun screen when going out or a lighter day cream and a cream to increase moisturizer in the skin for night.

Can also do manicure and pedicure, limbs soaked in lukewarm water enriched with light alkaline soap and drops of natural oils.

Ways to cure such problems when wearing High Heels?

Ways to cure such problems?

A lower heel Stilettos can help some; the solution may require a surgical procedure that helps straighten the hammertoe.
Use of heavily padded insoles on high heels, is a much better idea for those who have bottom-of-the-foot pain.
If there is best-fitting high heel Stilettos can wore, will give less pain as possible.
Wear a thicker heel for stability
To relieve pressure on corns and calluses, I advice to wear open-toe high heels 

Are there any foot exercises that can make the problem go away?

Hamstring and Calf stretch: Need do exercises and stretches to strengthen the calf and hamstring muscles. 
During the day with heels on: If they are standing or sitting, they can do lot of stretches for their foot like plantarflexion, dorsiflexion, Inversion and eversion. 
Lower Back: Exercise to strengthen lower back and entire core muscles is very much required
Achilles stretch: Begin in the standing position, and slowly bend the knee of the extended leg. As your hips lower, both heels should be glue with the floor and you should feel a good stretch in the Achilles tendon of the extended leg.
***Hold all stretches for 10 to 30 seconds or until tension releases. If there is a pain in the joint happen or discomfort feeling, release the stretch

So they need to break the monotony and sedentary style of study. NEERAJ MEHTAsays that following an exercise regime, eating a healthy diet, keeping a good posture during study hours and sleeping for eight hours daily not only keeps the body agile, it also boosts the brain

Exams bring with them a strong sense of foreboding for most students who are going to take them. This is particularly the case when students enter the dreaded board examination years. This is when they suddenly realise that exams are a big thing. Such intense competition and pressure of securing an excellent performance tagged result put many of these little minds on the brink of pass through toilsome stressful situation. As a result what follows is a heightened anxiety level for the children. It can be very distressing and sometimes debilitating.

Myth: burn fat

Myth: We burn fat in the fat-burning zone. 

Fact: Fat Burning Zone is 60 -70 % of MHR. The fat-burning zone is a concept that the body burns a greater amount of fat at lower-intensity aerobic exercise than it does at higher intensities. Actually, the body burns a greater percentage of fat at lower intensities than at higher intensities. At lower intensities the body may burn 50 percent of the calories from fat, while at higher intensities it may only burn 35 percent. But at higher intensities you burn way more total calories-and more fat calories overall-than you do at lower intensities. Because time matters a lot, with high intensity you utilizing more calories in short duration, but low intensity takes more time for utilizing calories. And more over in high intensity you use your muscles, for which they require recovery, hence utilize fat, after the session also.
