5. Make healthy food choices. When you’re trying to lose weight, it’s important to choose foods that are nutritious and low in calories. Focus on eating lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Avoid sugary drinks, fast food, and processed snacks.

6. Avoid crash diets. Extremely low-calorie diets can be harmful to your health and are often difficult to stick to long-term. If you’re looking to lose weight, it’s better to focus on making gradual, sustainable changes to your eating and exercise habits.

Sweet Potato Bruschetta with Avocado-Tomato Topping

Is there nothing sweet potato can’t do! For these bread-less bruschetta, thin slices of sweet potato are baked then topped with avocado, fresh basil, and tomato.

Sweet potatoes are endlessly versatile, and this inventive vegan bruschetta recipe offers a great new way to enjoy them. Simply slice sweet potatoes lengthwise into long, half-inch-thick slabs, and roast them in the oven to take the place of toasted bread. Top them with sliced cucumbers, fresh arugula, and a tangy mix of tomatoes and avocado, and you have a fresh and healthy take on a classic appetizer or snack! If Campari tomatoes—sometimes called “on-the-vine tomatoes” are available, use them. They are uniquely sweet and juicy.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 medium or large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and rinsed
  • 1 cup seeded and diced fresh tomatoes, such as Camparis
  • ¼ cup minced red onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Black pepper
  • 1 avocado, pitted, peeled, and chopped
  • 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup baby arugula

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the sweet potatoes lengthwise into ½-inch-thick slices. Lay the slices flat on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the edges are browned and the slices are easily pierced with a fork.
  3. While the sweet potatoes are baking, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, garlic, basil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Cover and let sit until the sweet potatoes are done.
  4. When the sweet potatoes are just about ready, chop the avocado and gently fold it into the tomato mixture.
  5. Top the sweet potato slices with sliced cucumber and baby arugula, and then spoon with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the avocado mixture on top.

10 Exercises To Do From Home If You Have Low Mobility

Everyone needs to move. Humans were designed to move even if you have low mobility. Low mobility can make it difficult to do some everyday tasks, but there are still plenty of exercises you can do from home.
Here are 10 exercises you can do from home:

1. Seated leg raises:
Sit in a comfortable chair with your back straight and feet flat on the floor. Slowly raise one leg at a time, keeping your knee bent at a 90-degree angle. Hold the position for a few seconds before lowering your leg back to the starting position. Repeat with the other leg.

2. Hip abduction:
Sit in a chair with both feet flat on the floor and your knees bent at 90 degrees. Keeping your core engaged, slowly lift one leg out to the side, keeping your foot flexed (pointing towards your body). Return to the starting position and repeat with the other leg.

3. Knee extension:
Sit in a chair with both feet flat on the floor and your knees bent at 90 degrees. Slowly straighten one leg, keeping your foot flexed (pointing towards your body). Return to the starting position and repeat with the other leg.

4. Heel slides:
Sit in a chair with both feet flat on the floor and your knees bent at 90 degrees. Slowly slide one heel out in front of you, keeping your foot flexed (pointing towards your body). Return to the starting position and repeat with the other leg.

5. Toe taps:
Sit in a chair with both feet flat on the floor and your knees bent at 90 degrees. Alternately tap your toes on the floor in front of you, keeping your foot flexed (pointing towards your body).

6. Ankle circles:
Sit in a chair with both feet flat on the floor and your knees bent at 90 degrees. Slowly rotate one ankle in a clockwise direction, then reverse the direction and rotate your ankle counterclockwise. Repeat with the other ankle.

7. Seated marches:
Sit in a chair with both feet flat on the floor and your knees bent at 90 degrees. Slowly lift one knee up towards your chest, then return it to the starting position. Repeat with the other leg.

8. Hip raises:
Sit in a chair with both feet flat on the floor and your knees bent at 90 degrees. Slowly lift one hip off of the seat, keeping your core engaged. Return to the starting position and repeat with the other leg.

10. Arm swings:
Sit in a chair with both feet flat on the floor and your knees bent at 90 degrees. Swing your arms forward and backward, keeping your core engaged.

It’s important to make sure you move at least 35 minutes each day. Low mobility should not stop you from being active and doing exercises you enjoy.
These 10 exercises you can do from home if you have low mobility. Seated leg raises, hip abduction, knee extension, heel slides, toe taps, ankle circles, seated marches, hip raises, shoulder raises, and arm swings are all great exercises to do from home if you have low mobility.

Lentil, Chard & Sweet Potato Curry

This satisfying sweet potato stew is made even heartier with the addition of yellow lentils. Lime juice, Swiss chard, and vegan yogurt make it a comforting and well-balanced curry.

One sure sign you’re cooking something really tasty is when the aroma fills your house and makes it smell magical. This is one of those recipes. Onions, garlic, fresh ginger, curry powder, and garam masala (a smoky, peppery blend of spices often found in Indian cooking) become incredibly fragrant while cooking. By the time you finally get to serve yourself a bowl, your nose won’t be able to handle the teasing any longer! Serve this gluten-free, soy-free, nut-free dish on top of rice or quinoa, or alongside a piece of vegan chapati, naan, or crusty French bread.

Recipe adapted from But I Could Never Go Vegan! 125 Recipes That Prove You Can Live Without Cheese, It’s Not All Rabbit Food, and Your Friends Will Still Come Over for Dinner by Kristy Turner, 2014. Reprinted and adapted by permission of the publisher, The Experiment.

What you eat is important if you want to see gains in the gym.

6 Diet Supplements Every Aspiring Bodybuilder Should Know About

by with No Comment All PostsCoachingHealthWellbeing

6 Diet Supplements Every Aspiring Bodybuilder Should Know About

What you eat is important if you want to see gains in the gym. But sometimes, no matter how clean you eat, it’s just not enough. That’s where supplements come in. Supplements can help you make up for any nutrients you might be lacking in your diet. Here are four bodybuilding diet supplements that every aspiring bodybuilder should know about.

1. Creatine
Creatine is a compound that is naturally found in muscle tissue. It helps to increase energy levels and improve muscle recovery after workouts. Supplementing with creatine has been shown to increase muscle size and strength.

2. Beta-alanine
Beta-alanine is an amino acid that helps to improve muscular endurance. It does this by reducing the build-up of lactic acid in muscles during exercise. This allows you to workout for longer periods of time before fatigue sets in.

3. Vegan BCAAs
Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are a group of three amino acids that are essential for muscle growth. They are leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Vegan BCAAs are a great option for bodybuilders who don’t eat meat or poultry.

4. Vitamin D
Vitamin D is a vital nutrient for bodybuilders. It helps to regulate calcium absorption, which is necessary for maintaining strong bones and muscles. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to an increased risk of injuries and weakness. Supplementing with vitamin D can help to ensure that you’re getting enough of this important nutrient.

5. Pea Protein
Pea protein is a vegan-friendly source of protein that is derived from peas. It is high in the essential amino acid leucine, which is necessary for muscle growth. Pea protein has also been shown to be more effective at reducing body fat than whey protein.

6. Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of healthy fat that has numerous health benefits. They have been shown to reduce inflammation, improve heart health, and support brain function. Omega-3 fatty acids are also important for bodybuilders because they help to reduce exercise-induced muscle damage. Supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids can help you recover from your workouts more quickly.
If you’re looking to improve your bodybuilding diet, consider adding these supplements to your routine. They can help you make up for any nutrients you might be lacking and help you reach your goals.
By including these six vegan supplements in your bodybuilding diet, you’ll be on your way to achieving the body of your dreams!
