Feel too tired to work out? No motivation to eat your greens? You’re not alone. Low motivation and fatigue are the primary factors keeping people from adopting a healthy lifestyle, a British survey suggests.

The poll of 2,086 adults was conducted online by YouGov on behalf of the World Cancer Research Fund and published Wednesday. It asked people what prevented them from making healthy changes to diet and being more physically active.

For 38 percent of people, the answer was absence of motivation, while 35 percent reported feeling “too tired.” Many more women — 40

Violin15/05/2023 46 Views

As people get older, they aspire to live healthy lives as free as possible from the natural decline of cognitive abilities that occurs with aging. At Baylor College of Medicine, researchers have been studying the biological underpinnings of age-associated cognitive decline and developing nutritional strategies to promote healthy brain aging.

They report today in the journal Antioxidants that supplementing GlyNAC – a combination of glycine and N-acetylcysteine as precursors of the natural antioxidant glutathione – improved or reversed age-associated cognitive decline in old mice and improved multiple associated defects in the aging brain. The findings are consistent with the improvements

Are hybrid workers really healthier? This CEO says it’s true

Violin10/05/2023 49 Views

“There’s actually a significant savings that companies are achieving by transitioning a percentage of their traditional workspace footprint away from a conventional lease over to either working from home or working closer to home or at a co-working location. That’s become a very significant savings.”

And with these co-working spaces, employers also ensure that workers remain engaged with their peers at work, says Berger.

“We value the opportunity to be alongside people, but companies are becoming more geographically distributed than ever before with their teams. So people are looking for a way to gather at a location, leave their homes,

Do you know the side effects of a stroke? It could save a life

Violin04/05/2023 34 Views

It was a typical Monday afternoon when my sister-in-law called me and in a hurried voice said, “Dad fell.” After a few minutes of frantic discussion and determining that my wise sister-in-law had already called 911, I switched my mindset from being a family member to a healthcare professional. My mind raced to think about the acronym that we had so often learned in school: FAST — face, arms, speech and time to call 911. Facial drooping — check; arm weakness — check; slurred speech — check; and time to call 911 — check. He had all the signs of

Mackenzie spoke with Ladysmith residents about an array of issues that face seniors in the province, from health care to housing. According to Mackenzie, 38 per cent of seniors in the province essentially live on less than minimum wage.

The 7 Best Times to Drink Water

Violin27/04/2023 39 Views

Regardless of your hydration goal, it’s important to drink consistently throughout the day. Here are seven times when sipping is a smart move to make:

1. When You Wake Up, Consume One to Two Cups of Water

Rather than a bleach-eyed reach for the coffee, drink one to two cups of water first. Because you don’t drink while you’re sleeping, you wake up already dehydrated, Krieger explains. Having water as you start your day can get you back up to your baseline. This can also help if you take medication in the morning. Then, yes, go get your coffee. The

The “long COVID” life

Violin22/04/2023 35 Views

If you have had COVID and have certain symptoms that began four weeks or more after the infection or have persisted that long, you likely have “long COVID,” officially known as the “post-COVID-19 condition.” The most common symptoms are fatigue, diminished taste or smell, difficulty breathing, brain fog, or changes in memory.

A new study shows that lifestyle has a big effect on who gets it. Thirty-two thousand nurses were assessed for their diet, weight, smoking status, exercise, alcohol use, and sleep. Those with favorable assessments of all these factors developed long COVID only about half as often
