Many of us lack the time or strength of will to do the exercise that our body needs to stay in good shape , and both are necessary to a greater or lesser extent. Not to mention those people who due to injuries, overweight or any other physical problem do not have it easy to move.

With this in mind, will the day come when we can replace the sport with a pill that has the same effects? It sounds futuristic but the idea is not so far.

You just have to take a look at the offer to verify that it is overwhelming: there are dozens of mobile applications, as well as specific gadgets, which monitor our daily physical activity and set goals to be achieved.

One of the best known is walking 10,000 steps a day. The figure is not casual: it is based on a study conducted in the 60s in Japan that stated that burning a total of 2,000 calories a week through physical activity was a health benefit for middle-aged men. Hence the calculation of the 10,000 daily steps (you can find more information about this goal here).

Working the abdomen intensely and achieving true results is not incompatible with training at home, without expensive or specific sports elements. To prove it, today we suggest you work your abdomen at home with these exercises with towels :

September is usually a month back to routine. Gone are the days of relaxation and holidays for vacation. On this date is when most of us return to training and in many other cases the approach to start playing sports appears. Therefore in this post we want to see some of the main reasons why it is highly recommended and useful to exercise.

Of course, physical activity is good for everyone at any age. But it is also true that many times we do not realize what is really capable of giving us physically. For this reason we want to make a step for the most outstanding. It is not only to lose weight or to have a more or less muscular body, but simply it is necessary to get our body to work much better at different levels and therefore we must stop at each of them.

Surely all at some time you have heard the recommendation given to the general population to walk, at least, 10,000 steps a day . That said, all of a sudden, it may seem a lot, but the reality is that the equivalent distance, obviously depending on each person (especially the height of each person) are between seven and eight kilometers, which seems more affordable.

The stress is one of the key factors that affect our health and, in turn, is one of the most elusive and difficult to handle: often comes imposed on us by conditions beyond our control and each person is affected differently.

This makes it difficult to determine exactly what the effects of stress on our body are. It would be necessary to follow a large group of people closely. measure their physical evolution and stress levels over a long period of time and rule out that any change in the first factor is caused by other reasons.

A few days ago we talked about the lack of reliability of the body mass index or BMI as one of the parameters that indicate the possible obesity or overweight of a person. And is that the body mass index only relates two factors: height and weight, without taking into account other more important as the amount of muscle mass, fat mass, the amount of water in our body or where the fat is located in the same.

The fish’s own fat is rich in good quality lipids, among which the omega 3 or essential fatty acids for the body stand out, however, fish oil, is it really a superfood?

Like all oils, fish is 99.9% fat, most of which are polyunsaturated and monounsaturated. Unlike other oils, fish does have cholesterol in amounts of around 600 mg per 100 grams, because it is of animal origin, and also a good source of vitamin D and A.

Two of the most recurrent postures in Yoga sessions are the middle clamp and the standing clamp (ardha uttanasana and uttanasana in Sanskrit). These are two simple postures that help us to work with flexibility, hip mobility and stretching our entire posterior chain.
