Integrating a soft workout into hectic hard training routine, can be a healthy alternative. Researchers have found that running injuries increase in direct proportion to how often you run and how far you run. A runner concerned with the possibility of being hurt and forced to lay off exercise might choose, therefore, to run three days a week rather than five and to walk, do water workouts or other low-impact aerobics on the other two days. Such a regimen minimizes the risk of injury while maintaining fitness and an active lifestyle. Even professional athletes are taking advantage of low-impact routines: a number coaches report adding water-based workouts to their teams training regimens. One should alternate soft and hard workouts. Research has shown that strenuous exercise can produce undesirable hormonal changes.…

For the modern athlete, nutrition is taken as seriously as the training program. There are no shortcuts or false starts to a winning diet–the answer lies in balancing intake with output. The physical and psychological benefits of exercise are undeniable but, when strenuous physical exercise is part of your daily life, you must make sure that you are eating the right diet for long-term health.

A 2024 study analysing the health data of more than 48,000 female NHS nurses found that protein intake was strongly linked to healthy aging. Eating animal protein was associated with several chronic diseases, while dairy and plant protein was linked with a lower risk, and mental health status later in life. But the mechanisms behind these relationships, the researchers say, are complicated – and not yet fully understood.…

There is often a debate around whether frozen foods are as nutritionally beneficial as fresh foods. Both fresh and frozen foods are harvested in similarly the same way. Fresh Food Fresh food is one that comes straight from the source. The term usually refers to any fruit, vegetable or meat product that isn’t overly processed or preserved, including salting, drying, smoking, dehydrating, canning, pickling or freezing to prevent spoiling. The food is at its very best and hasn’t been sitting on a shelf for months or years at a time. How "Fresh" is Your food? Fresh produce at a grocery store isn't always at its nutritional peak. Think about it: Apples are in season from mid-September through mid-November, yet one can buy an apple any time of the year at…
