Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which the retina needs!
Green leafy veggies like kale, collard and mustard greens, and spinach are good
for the eyes because they contain lutein, which studies indicate can reverse symptoms of macular degeneration.
And getting plenty of omega-3 fatty acids from fish and flax can help prevent dry eyes.
Quit smoking. Need another reason to quit smoking? You got it: Smoking increases the risk and
accelerates the development of cataracts, macular degeneration and optic nerve damage.
Eye strain. Any focused work means you do not blink as frequently.
It is always good to take a break from activities which involve prolonged staring..
And artificial tears can help reduce eye irritation, lubricating the eyes to help you work longer.
After a grueling workout, there's a good chance you are going to be feeling it ( sore thighs, tight calves).
Relieve post-fitness aches by submerging your lower body in a cold bath (50 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit; you
may have to throw some ice cubes in to get it cold enough) for 10 to 15 minutes.
A workout buddy is hugely helpful for keeping motivated,
but it is important to find someone who will inspire and not discourage.
Even, music turns out to be a cool companion!
Whether you are heading off to spin class, boot camp, or any other exercise,
it is always important to hydrate so you can stay energized and have your best workout.
Cardio Exercises:
During times of mass building you do not want to do large amounts of cardio because chances are that
you will be burning far too many calories. So if you still want to get in some
, a light jog a few days per week for 20 minutes is adequate.
We always have good luck with a high-carbohydrate breakfast such as a small bowl of
oatmeal with fruit or a couple of pieces of toast with peanut butter or cream cheese.
Magic Three:
balsamic vinegar (it adds a pop of low-calorie flavour to veggies and salads), in-shell nuts
(their protein and fibre keep you satiated), and fat-free plain yoghurt (a creamy, comforting source of protein).
Do not completely shy away from coffee! Coffee is great for athletic performances,
because it makes you sharper and may even give you extended energy .
It is easy to get in a diet rut, even if you are loading up on flavourful fruits and veggies.
Solution: Have plenty of spices, fresh herbs, and lemons at your cooking beck and call.
