Taking care of your daily food intake, knowing what to eat and what not to eat, and buying healthy and organic food are very important things to consider if you truly want to have a good life and to live longer.

Maybe you are a bit lost… Maybe you don’t really know how to have a clean eating.

Don’t worry. Here are 3 tips specially made for you, to start eating clean right away.

1 – Don’t Eat too Much Sodium

Some people swear that the worst enemy for your health is sugar. Trust me, in reality, in most cases, sodium is even worse. It leads to high blood pressure, heart and kidney diseases and tons of illnesses.

And sodium is like a snake: sometimes you don’t see it coming. You think you are eating clean because you are eating frozen organic green vegetables ? Think again.

They are packed with tons of sodium, because they are frozen foods.

Limit yourself to 1,5mg of sodium per day, and you will be fine.

2 – Reduce Your Processed Food Intake

Every food today seems to be processed. However, it is always better to follow nature’s rules. For example, nature did not make red candies nor blue sugar drinks.

So a good rule you can keep in mind is: whatever you cannot find in nature, try to not eat it.

Eat natural foods like eggs, fruits, vegetables, fishes,… there are still tons of foods that are not processed.

Do not be like anyone else, and respect your body by eating natural ingredients.

3 – Try to Eat Less Meat

People are often confused on the fact they need to eat meat in order to have proteins.

Wrong.

Proteins are absolutely necessary to survive, but meat is totally not necessary. Eating meat puts a lot of pressure on yourself for your digestion, and the less meat you will eat, the more it will help to reduce your risk of heart disease.

There is no need to go into veganism either. Just replace the meat by eating fish and eggs, if you still want to keep animal protein sources.

And if you still want to eat meat, please try to avoid at all costs sausages and bacon.

We are often losing one third of our life just by sleeping.

And yet, a lot of people complain that they don’t get enough sleep. When the alarm clock is ringing, some of us just don’t want to hear it, and we are doing everything to win some more minutes.

So how to improve your sleep ?

But first: why do we care so much about sleeping ?

Mainly because sleeping deprivation triggers low energy, low performance, bad decision making capacities, more fat storage…

You definitely want to improve your sleep.

Here are 3 tips you can start doing right now

1 – Sleep by 90 min Period Cycle

A full and complete sleep pattern is 90 minutes. Your mind and body need to accomplish several 90-minute cycles.

Have you ever felt tired even after 10 hours of sleeping ? It is because you may have woken up during a 90-minute cycles and not after finishing it. You would have slept 10 hours and 30 minutes if it was the case, doing 7 cycles of 90 minutes

Choose your number of 90-minute cycles that you want to accomplish and stick to it. Generally doing 4 or 5 cycles is what is best for you.

2 – Don’t Eat just before Sleeping

This is one of the biggest mistake you can make. If you eat before sleeping, your body will trigger all your digestion mechanisms and you will spend a lot of energy to digest the aliments you just ate.

But it is even worse than that…

Your body is not made to digest food in a laying position. You will consume extra energy to do so.

So what is the point of sleeping to have your energy back, if you spend it during your whole night ?

Think about it and don’t eat anything at least 1 hour before you sleep.

3 – Empty Your Mind Before Your Sleep

Right before sleeping, it will be very good for you to calm down, to relax your body and your mind, and to start to empty your mind.

So how do you empty your mind ?

I know it can be hard for some people. To enter in this form of meditation, if you have some trouble doing it, all you have to do is focus on your inner sensations.

Feel your head against your pillow. Really feel your legs on your bed. Feel every sensation you have at the present moment, and it will help you to drift into your wonderful dreams.

I know. We tend to have trouble to wake up early.

The alarm clock is ringing…and yet you don’t move. You want to stay in bed.
Yet you are losing a lot of opportunities that life offers you.

Early risers rule the world.

Do you want to know how to do it ?

1- Have Your Alarm Clock Away From You

Here is the most important advice I can offer you.

Put your alarm clock at least at 5 meters from you. Because you will have to get up to turn it off.

And by standing up, your brain is awaking itself, and you instantly change your state.

Then you have to go further and enter in an other room to further the process of awaking.

2 – Keep a Positive Attitude Whatever the Hours of Sleeping  You are Having

You can sleep as many hours as you want: if you are thinking that
when you wake up you won’t have enough sleep, get what ? You will
wake up tired.

Even if you sleep 12 hours and you tell yourself: “it is not enough”,
the law of attraction accomplished your desire: you feel tired when you wake up.

You just have to tell yourself that you will be alright whatever the hours of sleep you are getting.  Stay always positive

3 – Choose How to Fill your Morning Hours

What do you want to do when you wake up ? Do you want to meditate ? Do you want to do sports ? Do you want to read ?

Time is precious. And you will FEEL excited from then on when you wake up, because you will have a lot of things to do.

And the good news is: nobody will bother you! Because everyone is sleeping!

Nutrient timing and partitioning is essential to have a very good body and to feel great about yourself.

Many people, especially newbies, don’t really know what to take after a good workout.

And If it is your case, you may want to read what will be indicated below, to optimize your training.

1-Don’t Eat Solid Aliments

You need to eat foods that are very easy to digest. To go even further, having is liquid meal is the best thing you can do for nutrient targeting.

Of course you will be able after to eat a solid meal. Don’t get me wrong. But you will have at least to wait 1 hour before doing so.

If you truly want to eat something solid after your training because you don’t want to have a liquid meal (protein shake, raw eggs…) eat simple foods that will digest very fast, like white eggs and fruits.

2-Don’t Eat only Carbs

Carbs are good for replenishing your glycogen stores.
But if you want to have a good recovery, you absolutely need to eat proteins. Period.

Carbs won’t build new muscle tissues. Proteins will.

Having at least 30 grams of proteins after your training is very important, inasmuch as without proteins, it would be impossible for you to repair, maintain and build new muscle tissue.

Proteins will also help you to be in a positive nitrogen balance state, allowing you to be in an anabolic state.

You will then be able to build more muscle.

3 – Don’t Eat Fats Right After your Training

Fat intake will slow your digestion and your absorption of proteins and carbs. Your muscles will take more time to recover.

Studies have shown that eating fat after your training will reduce your human growth hormone levels by half of what levels were after fasting.

And this will occur as soon as you ingest more than 5 grams of fat after your workout.

So next time, only eat proteins and carbs, and everything will be alright for you.

The worst ingredient to your meals is added sugar.

It can have detrimental impacts on your health and triggers all kinds of diseases.

Here are 3 reasons why you have to avoid added sugar at all costs:

1 – Sugar is a terrible drug : your brain is extremely addictive to sugar intake

Each time you are eating sugar, you brain will release a large amount of dopamine.

This dopamine spike is very addictive and some people just can’t fight this addiction.

Each time you are eating foods that are not natural (like for example, junk foods), you will release much more dopamine than foods coming from nature.

You may think it is not important, but you have to realize that every single drug acts in the reward center of the brain, and sugar makes no exception whatsoever.

2 – Sugar is one of the Precursor to Cancer

Unfortunately, nowadays cancer is one of the major causes of death in the world and is characterized by a constant and uncontrolled multiplication and growth and of cells.

Insulin is a hormone that regulates this kind of growth: the less insulin spikes you have, the more the growth will be regulated and controlled.

Eating sugar constantly will raise a lot your insulin levels, and this fact can ease the cancer development.

Moreover, all the problems associated with a high sugar consumption often trigger inflammations: another important cause of cancer.

3 – Added Sugar has Anti Fat-Burning Properties

Sugar intakes can have different effects on your brains and above all on the hormones that are controling your food intake

Even if it tastes good, added sugar won’t cause satiety in your brain or lower your hunger hormones (such as ghrelin)

Therefore over time, this can result into an increased calorie intake, simply because the calories coming from sugar aren’t as fulfilling as proteins or fats.

So stay away from added sugar. Period.

2 – Can Improve Your Posture

Regular exercise can help improve your posture and help you sit up straighter. Having good posture is important for keeping your back straight and keeping the pain away from an arched back. The best way to improve your posture is to exercise the muscles controlling it and holding you back from having good posture. Just by exercising your abs, back muscles, and more, you can sit up straighter and prevent pain. You can do posture exercises either sitting or standing, whichever way you prefer.

3 – Can Improve Your Confidence

Regular exercise can improve your confidence in yourself as well. This is because, it does help you lose weight and when you start looking better and feeling better, you will feel better about yourself. However, there is more to it than that. Regular exercise gives you confidence because it can help you feel more accomplished and social, especially if you are working out in a gym where you can interact with other people who have the same goals in mind that you do.

If you suffer from insomnia every night or almost every night, you aren’t the only one who has trouble sleeping. Many people are having the same problem as you are. In fact, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, those who suffer from insomnia also suffer from stress, depression, jet lag, and being on certain diets can cause you to not be able to sleep at night. However, there are ways to beat this all too common problem. Here are a few things you can do to prevent insomnia and sleep better every night.

1 – Keep a Schedule

Keeping a schedule is something we all do every day as it is so it is not something hard to do when it comes to a sleep schedule. What you can do is, try to go to bed at a certain time at night and do this every night. You should also wake up at the same time every morning. Try to do this on the weekends as well, although you would prefer to sleep longer during your time off, it is better to keep a set schedule every single day of the week. It is best not to stay in bed for too long because then you will get lazy.

2 – Let the Sunshine in

Sunshine is good for everyone not just because of the Vitamin D it provides but also because it can help you get the natural energy you need to get through your day easier. As soon as you wake up in the morning, open the blinds and let the sun shine into your bedroom. Go outside while drinking your morning coffee and let the sun hit  your face for a little while. Although too much sun on the body can cause a sunburn, and not to mention skin cancer, getting sunshine on your body in moderation is good for you.

3 – Eat Better Every Day

Everyone knows eating right is good for the body. This is why we all should eat right every day to enjoy the health benefits from it. Make sure to consume enough fruits and vegetables all throughout the day, every day. Not only are they good for you but they taste great too. Make sure to get the right amount of nutrition on a daily basis to live your healthiest life.

4 – Cut Caffeine, Alcohol, and Nicotine

Try not to consume caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine  a few hours before you go to bed at night. Caffeine and nicotine are stimulants and will just keep you awake at night. Although alcohol is a depressant and can help you relax and sleep, it doesn’t allow you to get the rest you need when sleeping. You will also wake up feeling awful, especially if you consumed way too much of it the night before.

5 – Try Yoga

Try yoga to help relax your body. Not only this, but you can do this in bed because of the easy poses. Some different types of yoga you can do in bed include meditation, the reclining twist, and the cross-legged bend. Try these poses before bed and see how well you fall asleep at night.

Trying these different things to help you sleep will allow you to not only finally beat that nasty insomnia but it will also help you sleep better than you ever have before. Waking up well-rested in the morning will give you the energy you need to get through your busy day.

If you are overweight, even by a little bit, and maybe even considered to be obese, and you are experiencing back pain on top of it, there is actually a connection between the two. According to the National Institutes of Health, as much as two-thirds of Americans are obese, or overweight. Not only this, but they experience back pain.

Why does back pain and weight gain have a connection? The answer is because if you have belly fat, it adds strain to your back. Think about it: You are carrying around extra weight and that hurts your back. Not only your back but it adds strain to your ligaments as well.

One thing you can do about the back pain, and doctors will advise you to do this, is lose that extra weight that is straining your back and ligaments. Here is how you can do this and not only get rid of the back pain but look good and be healthy and stay looking good and healthy and pain free for the rest of your life.

Physical Therapy Exercises

If you are experiencing back pain, your doctor may ask you if you want to go see a physical therapist. It is highly recommended that you do this. The reason is because they can teach you some very good back exercises that will not only help get rid of the pain for good, but will also help you lose that belly fat you are carrying around with you all the time.

Although you can visit a physical therapist for help with special back pain exercises, if you cannot afford to do this, you can actually look online for these exercises and print them out to do them every single day. You really need to make sure to do them every day and not skip one day for any reason. It is very important to do them every day to keep the pain away and to help you lose that extra belly fat. Think about carrying a heavy baby or toddler around. Hurts your back, doesn’t it? That is what it is like carrying around the extra belly fat you may have added over the past few years.

Eat Right Every Day

Everyone needs to eat right. It is just something you need to do to be healthy and remain healthy. Fresh fruits and vegetables, low fat and low carb foods and snacks are all good for you. Instead of going out to eat at a fast food restaurant, cook homemade meals and eat at home. Eating fast food is not good for anyone, ever!

You can find good recipes online if you cannot afford to talk to a nutritionist. Many people say they can’t afford to eat healthy. This isn’t true! Everyone who works and makes money can afford to eat healthy. It doesn’t matter if you buy the cheapest fruit and vegetables the store has, as long as you are eating good, and healthy food every day.

So, the bottom line is this, exercise and eat right and you will lose weight and get rid of the back pain you are experiencing.

Home Page

Do you eat healthy now? Do you already have a good habit of eating fruits and vegetables and feel happier every day because of it? That’s right! You read that right and it really shouldn’t come to any surprise to anyone reading this since fruits and vegetables are healthy foods and most of them, if not all of them, taste great as it is.

According to a study done in Australia, it is a fact that eating healthier every day can make you a happier person. And, as long as you keep this healthy diet going, you will be a happier. One thing is for sure, most fruits and vegetables either have no calories or low calories and no fat or low fat and eating them every day can help you lose weight and keep it off. This will allow you to have more energy which will make you happier too. Losing the weight by eating better and keeping the weight off, will help you look better which will also make you happier.

Eating Fruits and Vegetables Versus Not Eating Fruits and Vegetables

The study that was done in Australia showed that people who went from eating no fruits and vegetables to eating them every day made them healthier and happier. During the study, the participants had to eat at least eight portions of fruits and vegetables per day to be healthier and happier. As a matter of fact, those who went from eating none to eight portions per day, experienced a satisfaction equal to that of someone who went from unemployed to getting a job. Not only this, but eating these healthy foods makes the person eating them happier before it even improves their health.

Although eating better does make people happier faster, their health will improve too, however, it will take longer because, according to the Australian study, the improvement of their health from eating healthier occurs over a longer period of time.

Why Does Eating Healthier Make People Happier?

Many people may be wondering why this happens to those who eat healthier. Although it isn’t exactly clear why this happens to people who eat at least eight portions of fruits and vegetables per day, the study that was done suggests that it may be because of the increased pigments, otherwise known as carotenoids that are included in certain fruits and vegetables. One example of such food is carrots with the increased level of carotenoids. These carotenoids are actually linked to an increased level of optimism in those who eat more of it.

Not only is an increase in eating fruits and vegetables linked to the higher levels of optimism in people who eat them, but it was also found, during this research study, that getting more Vitamin B12 is linked to an increased level of serotonin which is a neurotransmitter in the brain that can cause regulated moods in people making them happier overall.

Can these new facts about eating a better diet making people happier, help doctors to be able to convince people to eat healthier? What do you think?

Here are my 5 top ways to boost testosterone fast

But before I begin, don’t forget that even girls need testosterone for a lot of reasons, especially for their sex drive and to loose fat

So here are the 5 most efficient ways to rise testosterone levels

1- Eat More Whole Eggs to boost testosterone

In the egg yolk, you have good cholesterol, approximately 180mg per egg.

And Testosterone is an hormone which is derived from cholesterol, and there is a very good link between free testosterone levels and HDL cholesterol.

So if you eat more whole eggs, you will have more cholesterol that can actually convert into testosterone. The actual convertion is a bit complicated, you can watch it here:

You have to pay attention that if you cook the yolk, you will approximatky divide by 3 the level of its cholesterol. Therefore, it is better to have the yolk raw, and to cook the whites, if you want to optimize your protein bio-avilibility.

2-Boost Testosterone by Taking Vitamine D3 and Zinc

Vitamin D3 is strongly link to testosterone, it is one of the most important vitamin to rise testosterone levels.

I highly recommend to take 5000ui of Vitamin D3 per day.

Zinc plays also a good role because when people have zinc deficiency, they often have suppressed testosterone concentrations.

You can take for exemple 15mg of zinc daily, to boost it.

They are so very important things to implement in your training if you really want to optimize your recovery.

When you walk, you will improve your blood flow in your body and you need it to put more oxygen in your muscles.

Remember the more blood coming to your muscles, the more oxygen and nutriments you put into them.

Of course if you are doing some heavy squats, you can stay sitting, but this is an exception to the rule.

There is a big misconception about fruit juice.

You hear again and again the same sentence : “Eat more fruits, they are good for you”

And this sentence is true to an extend, like almost everything in life, you have to pay attention to details.

In the years 1980 to 1990, we used to consume around 15g of Fructose per day (mostly from fruits). Today we eat like 75g, which is 5 times the amount, often from refined sugars (sodas, fruits drinks…)

1-Fruit Juice can have a lot of Fructose

Fructose is a type of sugar which most of it can only be metabolized by the liver.

And the fructose ingested will be transformed into glycogen and stoed in the liver, ready to use it as soon as it needs it.

But when the liver is completly full of glycogen (it can store around 100g), the next fructose ingested will be turned into fat by the liver.

It can be an issue if you want to stay very lean.

But that’s not it. Fat is not only the issue.

By eating too much fruits causing fructose to turn into fat into the liver, some fat can stay there and not get out wit the time.

This can lead to Fatty Liver Diseases (FLD) which are booming nowdays, with persons consuming exess amount of fructose.

Excess amount of fructose can be also lead to problems like diabetes, metabolic syndromes and obesity

2-Prefer Taking Fruits instead of Fruit Juice

Consuming fruits instead of consuming fruit juice is a no brainer.

Fruits contain water and fibers, and it will be difficult to eat too much fructose by eating only fruits.

So although it can bevery convenient, a real piece of fruit is much better than fruit juice.

You will get all the antioxydants and keep the natural fiber.
