]]> In a world where work-life balance is often lacking, hobbies tend to take a back seat to more practical activities, even viewed by some as a waste of time. The whole point of a hobby, however, is that it is done purely for enjoyment, regardless of whether it will amount to anything productive. Ironically, practicing a hobby with this mentality can greatly improve mental health and wellbeing. If picking up a hobby sounds appealing to you, read on for some ideas to try.

Fluid Painting

Fluid painting involves pouring paint onto canvas in layers and moving it around to create abstract designs. Beyond serving as an excellent creative outlet, it can also have a therapeutic effect on mental health. The slow, mindful movements and gentle sensory stimulation associated with the practice have been shown to reduce stress and promote relaxation.

Tai Chi

For those seeking a slightly more physical practice, the art of tai chi offers a unique blend of gentle movement and meditative focus. Rooted in ancient Chinese tradition, it promotes balance, flexibility, and mental clarity through a series of postures and controlled breathing. It’s also low-impact enough to be accessible to all fitness levels and easy to incorporate into most daily routines.

Herbalism

While perhaps a bit unusual, herbalism can be a rewarding and educational wellness hobby for anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors. Start by reading some basic books on the subject to familiarize yourself with the medicinal properties of plants, then create your own garden where you can cultivate the flowers and herbs that you feel drawn to. You’ll be able to reap all of the benefits of connecting with nature as you foster a sense of holistic well-being and self-sufficiency.

]]> Cardio is the foundation of a healthy body and high athletic performance. It’s the form of exercise that gets your blood pumping, greases the joints and tendons, primes the muscles, and sparks metabolism. But while running is the most common form of cardio, it does have its setbacks and can become boring at times.

If this has happened to you, don’t give up on your important cardio workouts! You just need to find effective alternatives. Here are four other options you can try out.

Swimming

Definitely one of the best forms of exercise out there, swimming is a wonderfully effective form of cardio. It strengthens your whole body and improves fitness without exerting pressure or impact on the joints.

Rowing

Rowing is great for strengthening the cardiovascular system and training the breath, while also strengthening the arm and core muscles.

Skipping

Not only does skipping get you really fit and give you strong core muscles, but it’ll make you feel like a kid again!

Cycling

Cycling is a great alternative to running as well. It’s a wonderful way to get out of the house, explore new territories, and go on a bit of an adventure while you pedal your way to your fitness goals.

]]> As more and more gyms are closing due to coronavirus, it’s becoming more important than ever to optimize your home workout. You don’t want to lose all that you gained during the summer. Here are five top tips for exercising from home.

Skipping

Skipping is a great way to work out the whole body and improve cardio. All you need is a body and a skipping rope. It’s perfect for home fitness!

Running Route

Find a running route around your local area that will get your heart pumping and give you some fresh air. This can be comforting as you get to know the route, as well as helping your mental health.

Equipment

While it is not necessary, it’s good to have gym equipment in your house if you can afford it and have the space. The best equipment to have is running machines, rowing machines, or exercise bikes.

Yoga Mat

A yoga mat will be a great investment. In addition to yoga, it is great for bodyweight exercises, stretching, and meditating.

Workout Videos

Online workout videos, apps, or podcasts are a wonderful way of staying motivated, sticking to a routine, and knowing that you are exercising properly.

The national fiber intake recommendation is 30-38 grams per day for a man and 21-25 grams a day for a woman. It’s easy to reach that number with chia seeds, as one serving contains over 10 grams of fiber. You can also get 4.4 grams of protein, and a heaping dose of manganese, phosphorus, and calcium.

Goji Berries

Goji berries contain several vitamins that boost your immune system, protecting you from the common flu. Put them in a yogurt, salad, or eat alone for a sweet but low-sugar snack.

Beans

There are 10 types of dry beans, all with their own health benefits. The Dark Red Kidney Bean is the lowest of the group in calories and fat, and packs 8 grams of protein. All the dry beans provide fiber, protein, and complex carbs to keep you full and healthy.

A panoply of beans! I never ever thought I’d be excited about beans but I’ve learned to mix the soft mealy texture (which I don’t like) with crunchy vegetables like peppers or cucumbers to balance the feeling in my mouth. But then I’ve also learned from my great course plus The Everyday Gourmet – Rediscovering the Lost art of Cooking with Prof. Bill Briwa that if the texture is grainy or chalky or coarse instead of velvety smooth then the bean is undercooked! That was a revelation! I also learned some terrific ways to flavor beans as well with garlic, onions, sage, bay leaves and/or rosemary. So I’m looking forward to exploring these varieties of beans. Some black beans, dark red kidney beans, navy beans, pinto beans, black eyed peas and then There’s some here I don’t recognize. Anyone know what those caramelized tan beans are???? Any recipe suggestions?? Ideas💡??

Spinach

Spinach is truly a superfood. It’s extremely low in calories (7 per serving) but contains vitamins A (28% daily value), K (228% daily value), and C (14% daily value). Make a fresh spinach salad with strawberries, put some in an omelet, or eat a healthy chicken dinner on a plate of these fresh greens.
