25 Simple Tips to Improve Your Health and Fitness

25 Simple Tips to Improve Your Health and Fitness | Lyved |

1. Diets are evil

Because of their temporary nature, diets don’t work. The people who do lose weight end up gaining it back again once they come off the diet. Instead of dieting, try to change your lifestyle. The changes you make to the way you eat should be sustainable for the rest of your life.


2. Get rid of the junk food

The easiest way to ensure that you don’t eat the food you shouldn’t is to make sure it isn’t available. Go through your fridge and toss out all the junk food. Next time you go grocery shopping, make sure that you don’t buy more.


3. Make use of healthy snacks

Having a snack between your meals is a good idea – as long as they’re healthy. Stock up on fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds. Have them readily available for whenever you might feel hungry. This means both at home and at the office.


4. All carbs are not created equal

While carbohydrates are a necessary part of your diet, there are some that do more damage than good. Avoid white carbs wherever possible and switch to the whole-grain alternatives.


5. Kill the caffeine addiction

Whether it’s coffee or soft drinks, caffeine is a drug. It’s a legal drug but a drug nonetheless. If you feel the need for a warm drink, choose an herbal tea instead.


6. Don’t forget the fat

Although trans-fats and the like should be avoided, you need to consume sufficient essential fatty acids. Make sure you are getting your omega-3 and omega-6 fats. These can be found in flax oil, nuts, and seeds.


7. Water is your friend

Your body is made up mostly of water. The problem is most people walk around dehydrated. If you are feeling thirsty, it’s too late: you are already dehydrated. Make sure to drink half your body weight in ounces every day. That means if you weigh 200 pounds, you need to be drinking 100 ounces of water each day.


8. Breathe deeply

Oxygen is more important than water for your health. You can survive days without water but only minutes without oxygen. Most people today have very shallow breathing and are not getting enough air. Breathe deeply from your diaphragm to ensure your cells are well oxygenated.


9. Eat your veggies

Vegetables are rich in micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) that are essential to your health. Plus they have a cleansing effect on your body because of their alkaline pH.


10. Buy organic

Much of the commercial produce available today is devoid of nutritional value due to the depleted soil used in the industrial farming process. Organic produce also has the benefit of tasting a lot better. It might be more expensive but the benefit is well worth it.


11. Get friends that live healthy

The ongoing interaction with people who have the health you desire will be a positive influence on you. It is far easier to make the transition to healthy living when you have the social support.


12. Find healthy foods you enjoy

Just because you are eating healthy does not mean you need to suffer eating foods you hate. Look for healthy foods you enjoy and eat them more often. Find recipes online that are both healthy and enjoyable.


13. Take your lunch to work

Not only will brown bagging your lunch save you some money, it will help you avoid eating unhealthy foods for lunch. Take the extra time to make your lunch in the morning or make extra for dinner and eat the leftovers.


14. Eat out intelligently

For the restaurants that you visit frequently, find out the menu choices that are healthy options. This way, you can enjoy going out without jeopardizing your health.


15. Give yourself a cheat meal

Every now and then, it’s okay to indulge in something you know that it is not good for you but you enjoy. You shouldn’t deprive yourself. Just make sure that this only happens from time to time.


16. Sleep deeply

Get a good night’s rest every evening. Sleep in a quiet room that is dark for the appropriate amount of time for you. Most people have heard that you need 8 hours of sleep for proper health. In my experience, the amount of sleep I need varies with my eating habits and exercise. When I am living in a healthy manner, I find I feel fully energized with about 6 hours of sleep. Find the amount of sleep that is right for you.


17. Schedule exercise

Make your workout an important appointment for yourself. Schedule it at a specific time and place. Make it as important to you as a business meeting or doctor’s appointment.


18. Get a workout buddy

Sometimes your motivation to exercise wanes. When you have a partner that pushes you, it is far easier to take action. Working out with a friend also tends to make it a lot more fun.


19. Exercise aerobically

Cardiovascular exercise helps to burn fat and raises your metabolism. It also strengthens your heart and lungs. Do at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise at least 3 times a week.


20. Don’t forget to stretch

Stretching is important for your flexibility and the recovery of your muscles. Don’t stretch a cold muscle – it’s a good way to injure yourself. If you stretch before your workout, only do so after warming up. It’s always a good idea to stretch after a workout where your muscles are already warm.


21. Train for strength

Building muscle not only increasing your strength but also increases your metabolism. Strength training also stimulates the release human growth hormone in your body which slows the aging process. It’s important to engage in strength training 2-4 times a week.


22. Make exercise a habit

The easiest way to follow through and make sure that you exercise is to make it automatic. Exercise at the same time every day if possible.


23. Get a trainer

Although a personal trainer is not necessary, having one while you start out exercising can be very helpful. They can show the proper form for exercises and help motivate you to really push yourself.


24. Make changes gradually

If you’ve been living an unhealthy lifestyle for a long time, the challenge of healthy living can seem daunting. Instead of trying to change everything at once and getting overwhelmed, make sustainable changes gradually.


25. Don’t give up

If you fall back into unhealthy patterns, there is no reason to beat yourself up about it. Identify why the lapse occurred and learn from your mistakes. Move forward with this knowledge and continue to move towards health.

9 common health misconceptions

Health magazine has the real facts about common health misconceptions:

1. You don’t have to drink 8 glasses of water a day in addition to all the other fluids you consume.
2. Stress doesn’t turn your hair gray. We gray according to our genetics.
3. Reading in poor light doesn’t damage your eyes.
4. A cup or two of coffee a day isn’t harmful. As a matter of fact it has healthful benefits.
5. “Feed a cold, starve a fever” has no medical validity. Fluids will keep mucus thinner and and help loosen congestion.
6. Fresh food isn’t ALWAYS better than frozen.
7. Eggs aren’t necessarily bad for you. One egg contains 213 milligrams of cholesterol, but it also offers lean protein and vitamins A and D. Just watch your total cholesterol intake.
8. Getting wet and cold won’t cause you to get sick…. unless you get so cold that you suffer from hypothermia.
9. You won’t get sick from lead in lipstick.

Ten rarest gems on earth.

10. Jeremejevite - Pronounced ye-REM-ay-ev-ite, this is a colorless, sky blue or pale yellow stone, the highest quality of which comes from Namibia. In nature it occurs in small obelisk-shaped crystals and has in the past been mistaken for aquamarine. It was named after Russian mineralogist Pavel Jeremejev who discovered the mineral in 1883. As of early 2005, a clean, 2.93-carat faceted gem was selling on the Internet for $2000.00 per carat.


9. Black Opal - Australia is the classical Opal country and today is the worldwide most important supplier of Fine Opals. Almost 95 per cent of all Opals come from Australian mines. The remaining five per cent are mined in Mexico, and in Brazil’s north, also in the US states of Idaho and Nevada, but recently the stones have also been found in Ethiopia and in the West African country of Mali. Black Opal or Opal with a dark gray body shows the most brilliant play of colors imaginable.


8. Red Beryl Emerald - Red beryl is found primarily in the Thomas Range and the Wah Wah Mountains of Utah, and has also been reportedly found in a location in Mexico (possibly near San Luis Potosi one of the very few places beryl is also found on rhyolite). Where it is found in Utah it occurs on rhyolite, where it crystallized under low pressure and high temperature, along fractures or cavities and porous areas of volcanic rhyolitic magma. Very few cut specimens exist.


7. Musgravite - Musgravite is one of the newest and most rare gemstones in the world. Musgravite is a silicate mineral whose main ingredients are beryllium (Be), magnesium (Mg) and aluminum (Al). It was named ‘musgravite’ after the area Musgrave in Australia from where the material was first found. The musgravite was later found also in Greenland and Madagascar, but neither of them produces gem quality material. Two pieces of faceted gem-quality musgravite from Sri Lanka were reported first in 1993. Keep in mind, this is the LEAST priceless of the ten.


6. Grandidierite - This is a bluish green mineral found primarily in Madagascar. The first and so far only clean faceted specimen, from Sri Lanka, was originally mistaken for a serendibite and subsequently purchased in May 2000 by Prof. Gübelin from Murray Burford. The gem shown above weighs 0.29 carats. Grandidierite is trichroic, transmitting blue, green and white light. The mineral is named after French explorer and natural historian Alfred Grandidier, who among other things unearthed bones from the extinct half-ton elephant bird in Ambolisatra, Madagascar.


5. Painite - This gem was once believed to be the rarest mineral on earth, is today still considered very rare. British mineralogist 1950s first discovered it in Myanmar. When it was confirmed as a new mineral species, it was named after him: Arthur C.D. Pain. For many years, only three small painite crystals were known to exist. Before 2005 there were less than 25 known crystals found, though more material has been unearthed recently in Myanmar.


4. Blue Garnet - Garnets species are found in many colors including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, black, pink and colorless. The rarest of these is the blue garnet, discovered in the late 1990s in Bekily, Madagascar. It is also found in parts of the United States, Russia and Turkey. It changes color from blue-green in the daylight to purple in incandescent light, as a result of the relatively high amounts of vanadium. The most expensive, a 4.2 carat gem sold in 2003 for $6.8 Million.


3. Serendibite - This gem is a cyan colored stone that comes from Sri Lanka. It boasts an unusually complex formula consisting of calcium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, boron and oxygen. So far there exist only three faceted (cut) specimens of 0.35 carats, 0.55 carats and 0.56 carats. The first two were discovered by rare stone specialist D. P. Gunasekera and purchased by the late Prof. E. J. Gübelin of Switzerland. The smallest was sold for about $14,300.00 per carat.


2. Red Diamonds - Only a very few red diamonds are ever found, and few people have only seen even one treated red diamond. The gem is described as a purplish red, so it is not a pure red, crimson, vermilion, or scarlet. Nevertheless for its size it is one of the most expensive diamonds ever. The Argyle Mine in Australia produces a small number of red diamonds. The largest and finest of these are auctioned every year or two, and sell for millions of dollars.


1. Jadeite - Until recent years jadeite has been something of a mystery mineral, but we now know of primary sources in Guatemala as well as several California occurrences of white or grayish jadeite. Boulders in which a few small freestanding crystals have been seen occur in San Benito Co., California, with additional finds in Clear Creek, between New Idria and Hernandez. All Mexican jadeite is in artifacts, from unknown sources. The record price for a single piece of jadeite jewelry was set at the November 1997 Christie’s Hong Kong sale: Lot 1843, the “Doubly Fortunate” necklace of 27 approximately .5 mm jadeite beads sold for US$9.3 million

20 Things you Didn’t Know About... Hygiene

20 Things you Didn’t Know About... Hygiene:

1. “Hygiene” comes from Hygieia, the Greek goddess of health, cleanliness, and . . . the moon. Ancient Greek gods apparently worked double shifts.
2. The human body is home to some 1,000 species of bacteria. There are more germs on your body than people in the United States.
3. Not tonight dear, I just washed my hands: Antibacterial soap is no more effective at preventing infection than regular soap, and triclosan (the active ingredient) can mess with your sex hormones.
4. Save the germs! A study of over 11,000 children determined that an overly hygienic environment increases the risk of eczema and asthma.
5. Monks of the Jain Dharma (a minority religion in India) are forbidden to bathe any part of their bodies besides the hands and feet, believing the act of bathing might jeopardize the lives of millions of microorganisms.
6. It’s a good thing they’re monks.
7. Soap gets its name from the mythological Mount Sapo. Fat and wood ash from animal sacrifices there washed into the Tiber River, creating a rudimentary cleaning agent that aided women doing their washing.
8. Ancient Egyptians and Aztecs rubbed urine on their skin to treat cuts and burns. Urea, a key chemical in urine, is known to kill fungi and bacteria.
9. In a small victory for cleanliness, England’s medieval King Henry IV required his knights to bathe at least once in their lives—during their ritual knighthood ceremonies.
10. That’s their excuse, anyway: Excrement dumped out of windows into the streets in 18th-century London contaminated the city’s water supply and forced locals to drink gin instead.
11. A seventh grader in Florida recently won her school science fair by proving there are more bacteria in ice machines at fast-food restaurants than in toilet bowl water.
12. There’s no “five-second rule” when it comes to dropping food on the ground. Bacteria need no time at all to contaminate food.
13. The first true toothbrush, consisting of Siberian pig hair bristles wired into carved cattle-bone handles, was invented in China in 1498. But tooth brushing didn’t become routine in the United States until it was enforced on soldiers during World War II.
14. Please don’t squeeze the corncob. In 1935, Northern Tissue proudly introduced “splinter-free” toilet paper. Previous options included tundra moss for Eskimos, a sponge with salt water for Romans, and—hopefully splinter-free—corncobs in the American West.
15. NASA recently spent $23.4 million designing a toilet for the Space Shuttle that would defy zero gravity with suction technology at 850 liters of airflow per minute. That’s a lot of money for a toilet that sucks.
16. In 1843, Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. campaigned for basic sanitation in hospitals. But this clashed with social ideas of the time and met with widespread disdain. Charles Meigs, a prominent American obstetrician, retorted, “Doctors are gentlemen, and gentlemen’s hands are clean.”
17. Up to a quarter of all women giving birth in European and American hospitals in the 17th through 19th centuries died of puerperal fever, an infection spread by unhygienic nurses and doctors.
18. TV kills! University of Arizona researchers determined that television remotes are the worst carriers of bacteria in hospital rooms, worse even than toilet handles. Remotes spread antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus, which contributes to the 90,000 annual deaths from infection acquired in hospitals.
19. It is now believed President James Garfield died not from the bullet fired by Charles Guiteau but because the medical team treated the president with manure-stained hands, causing a severe infection that killed him three months later.
20. What on earth made them think manure-stained hands were remotely acceptable to treat anyone?

Kelahiran Nabi Muhammad s.a.w.

Kelahiran Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. pada 12 Rabiulawal, Tahun Gajah di Mekah al-Mukarramah sebagai pembuka rahmat di pelosok alam semesta.

Kelahiran baginda menjadi seribu satu tanda bahawa baginda akan menjadi utusan terakhir dalam menyampaikan risalah Islam. Ia merupakan peristiwa utama dalam sejarah Islam.

Baginda mempunyai kelebihan luar biasa, bukan sahaja dilihat dalam konteks sebelum kelahirannya tetapi dalam konteks semasa dan selepas dilahirkan. Peristiwa luar biasa ini disebut sebagai Irhas.

Irhas bermaksud satu perkara luar biasa bagi manusia yang normal dan hanya diberikan kepada bakal nabi. Irhas dikategorikan kepada tiga:

1. Irhas yang dinyatakan di dalam kitab yang tidak boleh diubah atau dipinda.
2. Alamat-alamat kerasulan yang dibuktikan melalui perkhabaran daripada orang alim melalui ilham dan sebagainya.
3. Kejadian luar biasa yang berlaku semasa kelahiran Nabi Muhammad s.a.w.

Sehubungan itu, masih ramai masyarakat Islam yang sebenarnya tidak mengetahui peristiwa di sebalik kelahiran baginda. Ini kerana masih banyak lagi rahsia yang belum tersingkap.

Oleh itu penulis terpanggil untuk menyingkap kembali peristiwa di sebalik kelahiran baginda Junjungan Besar s.a.w.

Sebenarnya banyak keajaiban yang berlaku sebelum kelahiran Nabi Muhammad s.a.w.

Pertama, semasa Rasulullah s.a.w. berada di dalam kandungan bondanya, Aminah, beliau tidak merasa susah sebagaimana dialami oleh ibu-ibu yang hamil.

Kehamilannya disedari melalui perkhabaran malaikat yang datang kepadanya ketika beliau sedang tidur. Malaikat mengatakan bahawa beliau telah mengandungkan seorang Nabi dan Penghulu kepada seluruh umat manusia.

Selain itu kehamilannya ditandai dengan haidnya terputus dan berpindahnya cahaya daripada wajah Abdullah ke wajahnya.

Kedua, ketika Nur Muhammad masuk ke dalam rahim Aminah, Allah memerintahkan malaikat supaya membukakan pintu syurga Firdaus dan memberitahu semua penghuni langit dan bumi.

Tanah-tanah di persekitaran kawasan tersebut yang kering menjadi subur, pohon-pohon kayu rimbun dan berbuah lebat. Begitu juga haiwan-haiwan di darat dan di laut sibuk membincangkannya.

Ketiga, peperangan tentera bergajah yang disebut di dalam al-Quran surah al-Fil, datang menyerang kota Mekah. Ia diketuai oleh tentera bergajah dengan menunggang seekor gajah besar bernama Mahmudi.

Apabila mereka hampir sampai ke tempat tersebut, gajah-gajah itu berhenti dan berundur dengan izin Allah.

Namun demikian, sekumpulan burung Ababil datang menyerang dan menghancurkan mereka sebagaimana yang disebut di dalam al-Quran. Peristiwa ini amat menakjubkan dan diriwayatkan dalam kitab-kitab sejarah.

Keempat, Aminah turut mengalami mimpi yang menakjubkan. Beliau menadah tangan ke langit dan melihat sendiri malaikat turun dari langit. Ia diumpamakan kapas putih yang terapung di angkasa.

Kemudian malaikat tersebut berdiri di hadapannya. Ia berkata ``Khabar bahagia untuk saudara, wahai ibu daripada seorang nabi. Putera saudara itu menjadi penolong dan pembebas manusia. Namakan dia Ahmad.''

Semasa kelahiran Nabi Muhammad s.a.w., Aminah ditemani Asiah dan Maryam. Dalam hal ini ia merupakan satu isyarat bahawa Nabi Muhammad lebih tinggi darjatnya daripada Nabi Isa dan Musa.

Keadaan ini diterangkan dalam kitab Taurat dan Injil bahawa akan datang seorang nabi pada akhir zaman.

Semasa baginda dilahirkan, bondanya menyaksikan nur atau cahaya keluar dari tubuh badan baginda. Cahaya tersebut menyinari sehingga ke Istana Busra di Syria.

Ia dilihat seolah-olah seperti anak panah bagaikan pelangi sehingga dari jauh kota-kota tersebut dapat dilihat.

Ada juga yang berpendapat bahawa cahaya itu datang dan menerangi seluruh dunia. Ini dapat dijelaskan oleh sumber-sumber Arab yang paling awal yang menyatakan bahawa suatu cahaya terpancar dari rahim Aminah apabila baginda dilahirkan.

Aminah sendiri melihat baginda dalam keadaan terbaring dengan kedua tangannya mengangkat ke langit seperti seorang yang sedang berdoa.

Kemudian bondanya melihat awan turun menyelimuti dirinya sehingga beliau mendengar sebuah seruan ``Pimpinlah dia mengelilingi bumi Timur dan Barat, supaya mereka tahu dan dialah yang akan menghapuskan segala perkara syirik''.

Selepas itu awan tersebut lenyap daripada pandangan Aminah. Setengah riwayat menyatakan nabi dilahirkan dalam keadaan memandang ke arah langit sambil meletakkan tangannya ke tanah sebagai tanda ketinggian martabatnya daripada semua makhluk.

Dikatakan juga pada malam kelahiran baginda, berhala-berhala yang terdapat di situ mengalami kerosakan dan kemusnahan.

Menurut riwayat daripada Abdul Mutalib, ``Ketika aku sedang berada di Kaabah, tiba-tiba berhala jatuh dari tempatnya dan sujud kepada Allah. Lalu aku mendengar suara dari dinding Kaabah berkata, ``telah lahir nabi pilihan yang akan membinasakan orang kafir dan mensucikanku daripada berhala-berhala ini dan akan memerintahkan penyembahan Yang Maha Mengetahui.''

Selain itu di tempat yang lain pula satu goncangan berlaku di mahligai Kisra dan menyebabkan mahligai tersebut retak, manakala empat belas tiang serinya runtuh. Keadaan ini merupakan di antara tanda -tanda keruntuhan kerajaan tersebut.

Namun, api di negara Parsi yang tidak pernah padam hampir selama seribu tahun telah padam dengan sendirinya. Api tersebut merupakan api sembahan orang-orang Majusi yang dianggap sebagai tuhan. Peristiwa itu amat mengejutkan orang Parsi.

Dalam waktu yang sama, pada malam kelahiran baginda, Tasik Sava yang dianggap suci tenggelam ke dalam tanah.

Setelah baginda lahir, tembakan bintang menjadi kerap sebagai tanda bahawa pengetahuan syaitan dan jin mengenai perkara ghaib sudah tamat.

Dalam riwayat yang sahih dan masyhur, ketika baginda diasuh oleh ibu susunya iaitu Halimatus Sa'diah, ladang-ladang Halimah kembali menghijau setelah mengalami kemarau.

Begitu juga binatang ternakan seperti kambing mengeluarkan susu yang banyak. Selain itu, Nabi tidak pernah diganggu walaupun oleh seekor lalat termasuk juga pakaian baginda.

Halimah dan suaminya juga beberapa kali melihat tompokan awan kecil di atas kepala melindungi baginda daripada panas matahari.

Ketika berusia empat tahun, sedang baginda bermain-main dengan saudara susuannya, tiba-tiba datang malaikat mendekati baginda iaitu malaikat Jibril dan Mikail.

Lalu membelah dada baginda dan mengeluarkan segumpal darah dan mencuci gumpalan darah itu dengan salji. Ada yang meriwayatkan bahawa gumpalan darah itu dicuci di dalam bejana emas dengan air zam-zam, lalu diletakkan semula di tempatnya.

hal ini jelas diterangkan dalam surah Insyirah ayat 1 : Bukankah Kami telah melapangkan dadamu (wahai Muhammad)?

Berdasarkan peristiwa tersebut jelaslah kelahiran Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. mempunyai keistimewaan tersendiri. Ini kerana baginda adalah khatamun nubuwwah, penutup segala nabi.

Perkara -perkara luar biasa ini telah membuktikan kepada kita kemuliaan baginda di sisi Allah, sekali gus sebagai bukti kerasulannya.

Di samping itu, bukti -bukti tersebut juga dijelaskan di dalam kitab kitab terdahulu seperti kitab Taurat, Zabur dan Injil sebagai rasul yang terakhir.
