Health and Fitness Hacks

LIFE HACKS by: Keith Bradford

I just want to share I read book that can give us more information and life techniques.

I hope it is ok to share this kind of article.

• When you feel the urge to drink or smoke, go for a run, do twenty sit-ups, or some other activity that will get you moving. You’ll soon start to associate quitting the habit with being fit.

• Gatorade and Powerade are only healthy when used during a workout, and watered down. Otherwise, it’s mostly extra sugar and empty calories.

• When you’re thirsty and limited water is available, rinse your mouth for thirty seconds before swallowing. Most of your “thirst” comes from a dry mouth.

• Recipe for relaxation: Exhale completely, inhale for four seconds, hold your breath for seven seconds, and exhale for eight seconds.

• Listening to music while working out can boost your running and lifting ability by 15%.

• A cup of coffee before a workout speeds up the fat burning process.

• Honey, when mixed with vinegar and water, can remove worms and other parasites in your body.

• Getting the right amount of sleep is crucial for your immune system. Sleeping for more than nine hours at a time can actually damage it!

• Skipping meals can cause your body to go into a fat-storing starvation mode, making it harder to burn calories.

• Feeling depressed? Drink water; you may be chronically dehydrated.

• Drinking sixteen ounces of water will increase your metabolism by up to 30%.

• Want to lose weight? Don’t eat anything four hours before you go to bed. It really makes a huge difference.

• Cold showers may help relieve depression and will keep your skin and hair healthy.

• Eating breakfast in the morning makes it ten times easier to burn calories throughout the day. It also makes you less likely to get acne.

• The more organized you are, the less likely you are to develop Alzheimer’s disease.

• Pineapple juice is five times more effective than cough syrup. It also prevents colds and the flu.

• The cells in your body react to everything that your mind says. Negativity actually brings down your immune system.

• Drinking five cups of green tea in a day can help you lose weight around your belly.

• Yawning actually cools down your brain, which helps get rid of stress.

• Smiling for sixty seconds, even when you’re in a bad mood, will immediately improve your mood. Using these muscles is enough to trigger the happy chemicals in your brain.

• Always exercise on Monday. This sets the psychological pattern for the rest of the week.

• Need some motivation to go to the gym? GymPact is an app that will pay you for working out and punishes you for missing out on days.

• Drinking chocolate milk has been proven to help relieve muscle soreness after a workout.

• Stretch for five minutes before going to bed. Your muscles will be more relaxed and it’ll be easier to find a comfortable position to sleep in.

• You can “rewire” your brain to be happy by simply recalling three things you’re grateful for every day for twenty-one days. Try it!

• If you’re going for a run, the jog.fm app will select a music playlist for you based on your pace.

• Rub deodorant between your thighs to keep them from chafing when you wear shorts. You’re welcome!

• Don’t wet your toothbrush after you put toothpaste on it. Water reduces some of the healthy benefits of using toothpaste.

• You can burn up to 180 calories while watching a horror movie.

• Eating plenty of unsalted sunflower seeds is a great home remedy for reducing your cholesterol level.

• Want to lose weight? Eat more spicy food. Spicy foods trick your taste buds into being more satisfied with smaller amounts of food.

• Drinking fruit juice doesn’t even come close to the benefits of eating fruit. Fruit juice often contains more sugar and a lot less fiber.

• Laughing for fifteen minutes has the same health benefits as getting two extra hours of sleep.

• Too much stress literally causes the human brain to freeze and shut down temporarily.

• Memorizing songs is extremely healthy for your brain and will improve your mental capacity.

• Eat an orange before working out. Not only does it keep you hydrated, but it also prevents your muscles from getting sore.

• Losing one night of sleep will impair reasoning and brain function for four days.

• When you’re stressed, try eating 1 cup of low-fat yogurt or 2 tablespoons of mixed nuts. The amino acids in them will help calm you down.
