Fitness
Buy a pedometer
Did you know that a walk a day is the best form of exercise you can do? You should also do some exercises to tone the muscles but if you cannot or do not have time to go to the gym, no problem, try to take a stroll after dinner or lunch. To find out if you are achieving your goals (staying fit or losing weight), the ideal is to buy a pedometer (they are available in sports or adventure stores). So you have the exact notion of how many steps you take. On average, we give about 3000 steps a day (especially those who drive everywhere), so if you just want to keep in shape, just try to reach the six thousand steps with a sanitary walk, for example. To lose weight, try 2500 steps in 20 minutes (or, in a softer version, take 10,000 steps daily in a relaxing stroll).
As you feel fit, try to pull the limit a bit and increase the pace of the last. What does not count: the whims in the mall peek at the stores you like. To strengthen your muscles: climb the stairs instead of going for a lift.
Podiatry
Attention to the quality of the shoes
If you lose your head with shoes, but always choose a particular style, know that you may be hurting your feet with the choice of shoes that is not right for you. If you suffer from circulation problems, you should not wear high-heeled shoes. Doing so is helping your legs become swollen, making blood circulation difficult. The use of inappropriate footwear or material of poor quality that accelerates the process of perspiration of the feet may cause, among other things, mycoses, fungi, or diseases such as athlete's foot. Bet on the good quality of the footwear you choose, in order to ensure the comfort and health of your feet.
Nutrition
Read package labels
Whenever you decide to buy food already packaged, pay attention to its composition. Carefully read packaging labels because too much of this type of food is fraught with unhealthy things like trans fats, hydrogenated or saturated fats. Saturated fats are present in most animal foods, meat and dairy products, milk and dairy products and should not exceed 10% of the total food intake. Trans fats may be present in the composition of everything that is toasted, crackers, cakes and other food industry products. To help you opt for a healthy diet read 'The Food Combinations, The Right Association of Natural Diet Foods', Gudrun Dalla Via, from Estampa, E11.42 + VAT.
Oncology
Eat more fiber, vegetables and fruit
Exaggerated consumption of food of animal origin can lead to a number of diseases, including cancer. Many meats are processed and maintained with chemicals (often deliberately to convey greater taste, color or consistency) and are also used for refrigeration and packaging of the product, substances which in the long run may interfere with our body, contributing to develop certain diseases. Many of the substances that are added to foods, only a small part has been tested for its carcinogenic potential, says Vernon Coleman's book 'How to Beat Cancer' from the Health and Life Collection. Choose to eat more fiber, vegetables and fruit. They are not free of chemicals, but in doing so they will consume less animal products that are in the top 10 of cancer-causing foods.
Dermatology
Always choose a cream with sunscreen
It is already common sense that in beach time the sunscreen is more than indispensable, but even when the days are gray and dull, you must remember to apply a moisturizing cream with sunscreen daily, advises the dermatologist Antonio Picoto, (Tel .: 218 462 376). Of course, you do not need to pack the bath cream in your suitcase, but when choosing your face cream, be aware that it has a protection factor 15, because even in winter, ultraviolet rays cross the clouds and directly affect on our skin. So think twice about combating premature aging, wrinkles and even skin cancer.
