A combined cognitive and fitness training helps restore older adults’ attention abilities to young adult levels。 A new study found promising results for a combined physical fitness and cognitive intervention designed to enhance neuroplasticity in older adults. Using a motion-capture video game, the intervention appeared to remediate age-related declines in attention. The findings were published in the journal npj Aging. With age, cognitive abilities naturally decline. But there is some evidence that this decline can be slowed with training. For example, cognitive interventions that leverage neuroplasticity have shown potential in improving the cognitive abilities of older adults. Additionally, physical fitness interventions have been found to improve older adults’ cognitive abilities as well as their physical health. This pattern of findings suggests that an intervention that combines both cognition and fitness may offer the most cognitive benefits. “My background is actually in Kinesiology, and I’ve always been excited to do a cognitive training study that involved exercise in a targeted fashion,” said study author Joaquin A. Anguera, the director of Neuroscape‘s Clinical Division and an associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco. “Some people want to do cognitive training while moving rather than sitting down, and that really spoke to me as a possibility for real benefits given anecdotal stories about games like ‘Dance Dance Revolution.'” The researchers designed a randomized, placebo-controlled study to test whether the BBT intervention could improve older adults’ attention and physical fitness. First, they recruited a sample of 49 healthy older adults with an average age of 68 and randomly assigned them to one of two groups. One group (24 people) participated in the Body-Brain Trainer, an 8-week on-site intervention assisted by a trainer. The other group (25 people) was an active, expectancy-matched control group that participated in the Mind-Body Trainer, a 6-week at-home training assisted by three iOS apps. Both groups completed a variety of physical and cognitive assessments before and after the training. These measures included a vigilance task that tested participants’ ability to stabilize their attention from moment to moment. Forty-one participants additionally participated in a one-year follow-up.

LET'S GO HEALTHY! What Is a Pescatarian and What Are the Benefits of a Pescatarian Diet? Some pescatarians believe a meat-based diet is bad for the environment. They feel that land animals raised for food use too many natural resources and add to pollution. Many people, though, choose this fish-based plan for their health. A diet that puts an emphasis on plant-based foods, fish, and seafood may provide health benefits. Fish, like meat, is a good source of protein. Yet, unlike red meat, it's low in saturated fat and often rich in healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Studies show that eating less red meat, or none at all, lowers your chances of getting heart disease and high blood pressure. At the same time, two servings of fish a week may help your heart. The omega-3 acids in fatty fish like salmon and mackerel help lessen plaque that builds up in arteries and lower your odds of getting an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia). Omega-3s also lower triglyceride levels in your blood, another bonus for heart health. The healthy fats may even have a positive effect on blood pressure. Limiting red meat or cutting it out of our diet completely may also lower your chances of getting cancer. One study shows that pescatarians live longer than people who follow a diet that includes red meat and poultry. If you go pescatarian, consider choosing lower-mercury types of fish, like salmon, mackerel, herring, sardines, and lake trout.

How to Start Running Running is a great way to get fit, feel better and even form new relationships with other runners. Starting a new running habit doesn’t have to be hard — all it takes is a comfortable pair of shoes and a willingness to move a little or a lot, all at your own pace. The Well Guide makes it easy to get started, get inspired and stay on track. Are you ready? Let’s go! Choose a Shoe Ignore shoe sales pitches about pronation or high arches and don’t be swayed by brand names. Instead, try on four or five running shoes, jog around the store and let your feet decide. In a sweeping review of the science on running shoes and injuries, researchers found that the most important feature of a running shoe is (brace yourself) — comfort. That’s it. Choose a shoe that feels good. Socks While most runners focus on shoes, socks can be important too. Blisters from bunched-up socks are painful and could sideline you for days. You want a breathable, snug sock that’s not suffocating. Some running socks are made from a sweat-wicking material that draws moisture away from your feet, preventing bacteria from accumulating between your toes which inevitably leads to foot odor. Look for a sock without thick (or any) seams and decide if you want a no-show sock or one that covers the back of your ankle where shoes sometimes rub. Try socks on in the store, and pick one or two that you like. Test them out to see how they perform when you run and sweat before investing in multiple pairs. Choose Your Playlist Running should feel like a reward. If you’re a runner who likes the quiet and solitude of running, then pick a bucolic path and go run. But many people like a combination of upbeat music or short podcasts or books on tape to accompany them on the run. My personal favorites to train with are books by comedians, who often read their own audio books and leave me laughing so much I forget the pains of running.

A squat is a strength exercise in which the trainee lowers their hips from a standing position and then stands back up. During the descent of a squat, the hip and knee joints flex while the ankle joint dorsiflexes; conversely the hip and knee joints extend and the ankle joint plantarflexes when standing up. Squats are considered a vital exercise for increasing the strength and size of the lower body muscles as well as developing core strength. The primary agonist muscles used during the squat are the quadriceps femoris, the adductor magnus, and the gluteus maximus The squat also isometrically uses the erector spinae and the abdominal muscles, among others. The squat is one of the three lifts in the strength sport of powerlifting, together with the deadlift and the bench press. It is also considered a staple exercise in many popular recreational exercise programs.

When you’ve never tried yoga, it can be intimidating, especially if you’ve been scoping the jaw-dropping, super bendy, pretzel-like poses your girlfriend practices each morning. But relax: It’s actually the most basic postures—not the fancy positions—that provide you with the foundation of flexibility and strength every man needs. With that said, there are a number of yoga styles, and finding the right one will help ensure you keep up your practice. For those who want a more fast-paced practice, consider power yoga. If you want to wipe yourself out and break a serious sweat (no joke), try Bikram (hot) yoga. Hatha yoga is good for beginners because of its slow pace and introductory poses. And Vinyasa focuses around the mind-breath connection and works the body with aggressive stretching. That’s just a handful of different yoga variations designed to improve flexibility, athletic ability, mental clarity, and more. Before we get into the basic poses, here’s why you should practice yoga, in any variation： 7 reasons men should do yoga 1. Relieve stress 2. Get flexible 3. Build more muscle 4. Prevent workout injuries 5. Have better sex 6. Calm your mind 7. Smell better

The deadlift works the hamstrings, glutes, hip flexors, quads, core muscles, upper back muscles and lower back muscles. It also includes the posterior chain which is made up of all of these in addition to your forearms and grip strength.

Nutrients Raw avocado flesh is 73% water, 15% fat, 9% carbohydrates, and 2% protein (table). In a 100 gram reference amount, avocado supplies 160 calories, and is a rich source (20% or more of the Daily Value, DV) of several B vitamins (such as 28% DV in pantothenic acid) and vitamin K (20% DV), with moderate contents (10–19% DV) of vitamin C, vitamin E, and potassium. Avocados also contain phytosterols and carotenoids, such as lutein and zeaxanthin.[99] Fat composition Avocados have diverse fats.[100] For a typical one: About 75% of an avocado's energy comes from fat, most of which (67% of total fat) is monounsaturated fat as oleic acid (table). Other predominant fats include palmitic acid and linoleic acid. The saturated fat content amounts to 14% of the total fat. Typical total fat composition is roughly: 1% ω-3, 14% ω-6, 71% ω-9 (65% oleic and 6% palmitoleic), and 14% saturated fat (palmitic acid).[100] Although costly to produce, nutrient-rich avocado oil has a multitude of uses for salads or cooking and in cosmetics and soap products.

Just one sweet potato gives you 400% of the vitamin A you need each day. This helps keep your eyes healthy as well as your immune system, your body's defense against germs. It's also good for your reproductive system and organs like your heart and kidneys.

Whether you make a beeline for the dumbbells when you get to the gym or you bounce around from machine to machine, there’s one thing we know: Strength training has numerous benefits, leading to stronger bones and muscles, better balance, and maintenance of a healthy weight. But if you ever wonder where you should be spending your time during a sweat session — with free weights or on weight machines — look no further. Yes, both free weights and machines will work many of the same muscles. But when you’re comparing apples to apples, free weights work more muscles than machines do. Think about this: When you perform a dumbbell shoulder press, not only are your shoulders engaged, but so are your core, traps, and triceps, as your whole upper body works to stabilize you. In a shoulder press machine, a fixed range of motion guides the weight up and down, eliminating the need for that extra stabilization on your end. Here, the majority of the work falls to your shoulders.

While the financial prepration for a climb is perhaps considered as the most difficult, the physical preparation is also very crucial. Especially when you are embarking on a multi-day climb, physical prepration would make sure you are fit, not just for your safety but for your enjoyment. 1. Get aerobic. Running, swimming, hiking itself, among other sports, are aerobic exercises. They prepare your lungs and your heart for the demands of a sustained, streneous activity such as hiking. Weeks or even months before a climb, try to exercise at least three times a week for at least 30-60 minutes for each session. When we say aerobic, the goal here is pulmonary and cardiovascular training. Check your heart rate before and right after the exercise…the goal is to observe a decreasing trend with the same amount of exercise. This means that the heart is becoming more and more efficient. 2. Ready those leg muscles. Running for prolonged periods is challenging; running or even walking on a steep slope can be even more so. When there’s the opportunity to jog on inclined surfaces, grab it, because you want the leg muscles to be prepared not just for locomotion, but for locomotion at an angle that the body is not really used to. 3. The best preparation for a climb is another climb. Training climbs offer what exercises on sea level cannot: the actual environment where you’ll be. The steep slopes of a Mt. Makiling Traverse would condition the muscles for all the movements and sustained actions that are involved in hiking. Importantly, the muscle groups for lifting the body in an ascent (the quadriceps, etc.) will likewise be conditioned. Joining a training climb will also prepare your lungs to the thinner air of high altitudes; train your brain to coordinate hand-leg movements, and aid in mentally preparing you for the conditions of . Also, a training climb will serve as a “test” if your fitness level is good enough for the climb at hand. If every 10 meters of ascent leaves you gasping, more exercise might be needed. How often must one climb to be fit? Personally I try to climb at least once a month, and a major climb at least once every quarter as the barest minimum. But of course this will depend on you.

Let’s clear up one common misconception from the get-go: Self-care is not synonymous with self-indulgence or being selfish. Self-care means taking care of yourself so that you can be healthy, you can be well, you can do your job, you can help and care for others, and you can do all the things you need to and want to accomplish in a day. If you think you’ve been hearing more about self-care now, you’re right. One indicator: According to Google Trends, the number of searches for “self-care” has more than doubled since 2015.right up arrow Paula Gill Lopez, PhD, an associate professor and chair of the department of psychological and educational consultation at Fairfield University in Fairfield, Connecticut, says the need for self-care is obvious. “We have an epidemic of anxiety and depression,” she says. “Everybody feels it.” Self-care is part of the answer to how we can all better cope with daily stressors, explains Kelsey Patel, a Los Angeles–based wellness expert and the author of the forthcoming book Burning Bright: Rituals, Reiki, and Self-Care to Heal Burnout, Anxiety, and Stress. It’s work stress. It’s the stress of trying to keep up with the pace of daily life, which technology has hastened more than ever (just think how many emails come flooding into your inbox each day). “People are feeling lonelier and less able to unwind and slow down, which makes them feel more anxious and overwhelmed by even the simplest tasks,” Patel says.

Workout supplements such as caffeine and creatine may be used to enhance exercise performance for high-intensity, strenuous physical activity, such as training to run a marathon or power lifting. However, a healthy diet with adequate amounts of healthy carbohydrates, protein, and water is sufficient to fuel the body for moderate amounts of physical activity, such as an hour of jogging or bicycling. As workout supplements are not reviewed by the FDA for safety or effectiveness, you should consult with a doctor before incorporating them into your exercise routine and discuss if there are any potential contraindications if you have existing medical conditions.

1 FITNESS TRENDS TO LOOK OUT FOR IN 2022 is WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY During the pandemic individuals did not have the same resources at home that they did at their onsite fitness facilities and studios. To ensure that they were still engaging in high quality workout routines at home or outdoors, many turned to wearable technology. People wanted a convenient and accurate way to focus on their health and well-being goals while being able to track their success along the way. Wearable devices were the answer to this need. This helped individuals measure the impact of their exercise sessions and ensure they were challenging themselves as it relates to heart rate zone, caloric burn, steps taken, blood pressure level, recovery time, and exercise intensity. Utilizing wearable technology has only continued to grow in popularity over the last two years. Wearable technology options include fitness trackers, smart watches, heart rate monitors, and GPS tracking devices. There are a variety of wearable devices on the market many of which allow individuals to track their fitness metrics along with other areas of their well-being like sleep, nutrition, etc. This desire to measure and track aspects of one’s health and fitness using technology is likely to continue to grow in the year ahead.

Not everyone likes getting fit just for the sake of getting fit. For those who need a goal to stay motivated, there are any number of outdoor races to choose from — 5K or 10K running races, marathons, half marathons, or 100-mile bicycle rides. There are also triathlons, Tough Mudders, Super Spartans, and other obstacle races for people who like variety. With this kind of specific fitness goal, it’s even more important to not rush getting in shape.
