Fitness Tip of the Week:
Get Your Steps in!
Don't have time to make it to the gym, go for a run or do a home workout? We've all been there! How about you try and get your 10000 steps in? Does that sound a lot? Well 10000 steps is roughly 5 miles or 8 kilometres and can be done in 1 hour and 40 minutes of continuous walking or you could divide it into 5x20min walks. Still sounds a lot? Don't forget that you probably will do half of that just moving around through the day, so you probably only need to do 2-3x 20min walks. Now why would you do all that walking you ask?
Health Benefits of Walking 10,000 Steps a Day
- Promotes weight loss. Walking 10,000 steps per day burns around 300-400 extra calories, which adds to total daily calorie expenditure and can help create weight loss.
- Clears up the mind. Walking opens the mind and helps the flow of ideas. It influences creativity and helps improve thinking abilities.
- Improves sleep. Taking more steps during the day may be enough to help us sleep better and we all love a good nights sleep.
- Decreases anxiety and depression. Some studies show a quick 10-minute walk can decrease a depressed mood. While the effects may be temporary, they prove that simple activity can deliver relief like aspirin!
- Improves blood pressure. A strong heart can pump more blood with less effort. If your heart can work less to pump, your blood pressure decreases. Get your steps in to look after that heart.
- Stabilizes blood glucose. Walking makes the muscles use more glucose, and over time lowers your blood sugar levels.
- Reduces the risk of a heart attack. Countless studies show that walking has Cardiovascular disease-related health benefits. Both healthy and chronic patient populations.
- It a you time. Walking gives you a chance to break a cycle of your daily routine and gives you a bit more of you time. And we all need that.
Supplement of the Week:
Collagen
Collagen is a type of protein. It is the major component of connective tissues that make up several body parts, including tendons, ligaments, skin, and muscles. Collagen has become very popular in female supplements as it strengthens your hair, skin and nails. But besides that collagen has many more great benefits to your body. It can relieve joint pain, prevent age related bone loss, boost muscle mass and improve health of your heart.
Where to get collagen from naturally?
Collagen is found in the connective tissues of animals. Thus, foods like chicken skin, pork skin, beef, and fish are sources of collagen. Foods that contain gelatine, such as bone broth, also provide collagen. Gelatine is a protein substance derived from collagen after it has been cooked. Studies are being done to find out if collagen rich food increases collagen levels in our bodies. That being said hydrolysed collagen in supplements is already broken down making it easier to absorb by the body.
