HOW TO EAT HEALTHY WHEN YOU'RE STUCK AT HOME

The coronavirus pandemic has transformed the world in ways we couldn't have imagined. While many are stuck at home, taking precautions to reduce the potential spread of the virus, it's getting harder to maintain healthy eating habits.

Most restaurants and eateries have been closed indefinitely, and many people can't eat in their favorite food chains. Many grocery stores are now running out of essential ingredients, making it difficult to get fresh vegetables and other food supplies.

Though there's no concrete evidence regarding specific dietary factors that can reduce the risk of acute infections, eating a healthy diet is critical to keeping your immune system strong. Here are tips for eating healthy while you're stuck at home.

Use Meal Delivery Services

One of the best ways to get a healthy diet when many groceries out there are running out of stock due to the pandemic is by using meal delivery services. These professionals will deliver food right to your doorstep.

These services are amazing time-savers. You don't have to deal with going to the grocery store nearly as often since they will deliver everything you need.

They are exceptionally convenient for people with tight schedules, especially when you're trying to balance your work-from-home schedule and family life. You only need to place your orders online for whichever meal you'd like, and it'll be delivered to you.

Letting a meal delivery service, such as Factor75, prepare and deliver your food ensures that the meal is healthy with proper nutrition proportions. All you need to know before you order Factor 75 meal delivery is that their meals are freshly prepared on the day of delivery, ready to eat.

Stock Your Fridge with Fruits and Vegetables Instead of Junk Foods

Try your best to keep junk food out of your fridge—those foods that trigger a binge in you! Vegetables should be the most abundant food item on your plates.

Instead of hunting the stores for starchy food supplies, load up your cart with vegetables, including seasonal spring veggies such as asparagus, bell pepper, greens, strawberries, and sweet onions.

Some fruits, such as apples, can last for several months if refrigerated in the produce drawer. Buy more perishable fruits like berries, bananas, pineapple, and cantaloupe freeze well. Chop into small-sized pieces and place them in freezer bags.

Plan Your Mealtimes and Stick to Them

Just as you plan out the rest of your day, establish when you're going to eat. If you like to eat lunch around noon, stick to that and avoid eating outside of those times. If you often indulge in snacks in the late afternoon, plan for that as well.

When there's plenty of food available, and the fridge is all yours, you might get tempted to grab an extra snack every hour, throughout the day. This habit can break off your weight loss goals and halt your productivity.

Emotional eating from stress and boredom can also lead to consuming extra calories. Pause, take deep breaths, and ask yourself whether eating an extra snack alleviates your anxieties or boredom.

Get Your Vitamin C from Foods, Not Supplements

Vitamin C plays a vital role in your body, such as boosting your immune system. Before you grab a vitamin supplement, note that mega doses of Vitamin C, greater than 500 milligrams per day, haven't been shown to reduce your risk contracting the common cold or other illnesses.

Instead, experts recommend getting the daily Vitamin C dose from foods such as broccoli, red bell peppers, strawberries, and tomatoes. These foods also contain other nutrients and antioxidants that benefit your body.

Focus on other nutritious foods, too, like protein, healthy fats, fruits, fiber, and vegetables. Planning what to prepare for lunch or dinner ahead of time will also make it easier for you to avoid grabbing on whatever looks quickest to cook at the moment.

Be Careful of Too Much Caffeine

Having easy access to endless cups of coffee might seem a great idea, but you need to be careful. Too much caffeine can cause headaches, anxiety, digestive issues, and even fatigue. Aim for no more than two cups a day to avoid the jittery feeling. Avoid flavored creamers and other high-calorie beverages as well.

Plan Family Meals

Gathering around and eating together as a family has all kinds of benefits. They allow parents to be role models and create a supportive environment that promotes healthy eating.

Moreover, children of families who often eat together are more likely to have higher intakes of vegetables and fruits. These kids also have a healthy weight and are less likely to have health or behavior problems.

Balancing Act

As many people stay home because of social distancing, chances are they may shift to unhealthy eating habits due to boredom, anxiety, or food availability. To stay healthy and boost your immunity during these difficult times, try your best to keep a balanced diet routine.

AS WE WFH, TREAMENTS THAT WILL LEAVE SKIN HEALTHY AND GLOWING

As we all continue to naviagate working from home and staying in to continue to #flattenthecurve, we need to make sure that we have a number of spa days as we certainly deserve it. We’re sharing some great tips from mother daughter duo Kariné and Mariam Kazarian, estheticians and co-founders of Kariné Kazarian Luxury Skincare in New York City, share their tips for the most sublime at-home treatment that will leave skin healthy and glowing.

Karine’s Pro Tip #1: Think Twice About Using Hot Water

As the temperature outside is still brisk, you might want to slip into a hot shower. But, never use hot water on your face! In fact, I don’t wash my face in the shower. Heat destroys the natural protective barrier of the epidermis, removes natural oils on the skin’s surface, and strips skin of its moisture. It can even damage eyelash extensions. Instead, I recommend cleansing the face with Biologique Recherche Lait VIP O2. Emulsify with small circular movements and rinse off with tepid water to prevent drying out skin.

Mariam’s Pro Tip #2: Invigorate and Awaken with Cold Therapy   

To elevate your at-home treatment, glide Biologique Recherche’s Cryo Sticks on the face, cheekbones, under the chin, under the ears, under and over the eyes, and in the neck area. The sticks promote lymphatic drainage, which moves built-up fluids, toxins, and other stagnant waste into the body’s drainage system. Alternate between upward motions and static pulses on pressure points. It is really important not to crease the skin downwards or tug, which can lead to fine lines.

Place your Cryo Sticks in an ice bath for at least 30 minutes before use or keep in the refrigerator (which I always do.) This allows for the sticks to stock maximum thermal energy. The burst of cold not only feels amazing and immediately lowers skin’s temperature, it causes a “goose bump” phenomenon which stimulates the nerve cells and has a firming, sculpting, and lifting effect.

Another way to take your treatment to the next level is to use the Cryo Sticks with a sheet mask or eye patches, like the Biologique Recherche Patchs Défatigants. The cold components of the mask and sticks calm the skin while the increased blood flow helps achieve a gorgeous glow. If you do not have the Cryo Sticks, I recommend simply using ice wrapped in gauze over the Patchs Défatigants.

Remember – don’t let any product go to waste! If there’s still moisture on the sheet mask, rub it on your hands or body.

Karine’s Pro Tip #3: Don’t Forget About Your Lips

Lips need extra attention as the skin is much thinner and does not retain as much moisture as the rest of your body. Prevent chapped, dry, and flaky lips with Biologique Recherche BioKiss, which is rich in sunflower, raspberry seed oil extract, and vitamin E. This rich formula works to nourish and repair the sensitive skin on the lips, and is a super luxurious finishing touch to any at-home facial.

7 TRICKS IN MAINTAINING A FIRM AND HEALTHY SKIN

Your skin is bound to change as you age; as a result of your skin weakening, and the loss of natural collagen and elastin. Now, while we can’t prevent aging, as it is part of life, what we can do is prevent dermatological issues, skin sagging, and damages caused by sun exposure. So if you’re looking for natural remedies to preserve your skin and maintain its health, firmness, and overall glow, you have come to the right place.

Contrary to popular belief you do not need to have a ton of money to feel youthful, and you certainly do not need to resort to injections. There are natural treatments that can do the job, in fact, some of the most popular skincare products are more affordable and effective than you think. The trick is to know what you can do daily to maintain firm and healthy skin.

And we’ve compiled seven tricks that we swear by to achieve the look you want, and we are letting you in on the secret. 

1. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!

We cannot stress how important moisturizing is! Our skin is exposed to such extreme weather conditions, from sun exposure to wind and dust, that it can greatly affect our skin if we neglect it. The right moisturizer protects our skin and prevents it from sagging. To achieve smooth, glowing skin you must moisturize your face and neck morning and night to maintain its elasticity and firmness. 

2. Be keen on sunscreen 

To this day people overlook the importance of sunscreen. Sunscreen should be applied to your skin every day before you leave the house, even if you are just popping out to the store for 20 minutes. While sun exposure is good for your overall health, it also makes your skin susceptible to dark spots and wrinkles. So opt for sunscreens that are waterproof and long-lasting. 

3. Drink plenty of water

Yes, you’ve heard so many skincare gurus mention this, but that’s because water works wonders. One of the best ways to accomplish youthful-looking skin is to stay hydrated; while there are plenty of products you can purchase to hydrate your skin, water is at the top of that list. Water is the most natural road to hydration of the skin. We don’t need to tell you how good water is for your health, but we will remind you that if you feel healthy on the inside, you’ll appear healthy on the outside too. 

4. Exercise

You might be surprised to find exercising on this list, but you need to maintain a healthy weight to protect your skin. You see, if your weight happens to fluctuate a lot, you'll end up stretching your skin which weakens elastin fibers on your face. So, don’t put your skin through a constant fluctuation, and make exercising a part of your beauty plan. 

5. Eat healthily

A balanced diet does more for your skin than you realize. Processed foods can become harmful to your skin and cause your skin to age faster than necessary; avoid eating too much sugar as well. For healthy, glowing skin add fruits and vegetables to your diet, and try to use healthy spices to your cooking as well. 

6. Change your lifestyle

The way you care for your body affects the way your skin appears. It will be hard to revive your skin to its natural glow and condition if you expose yourself to harmful activities, such as excessive drinking and smoking; these activities drain and dry out your skin, causing your skin to sag earlier than it should. A healthy lifestyle will provide your skin with all the benefits it needs to look beautiful and refreshed. 

7. Relieve yourself of stress

Stress is known to age the skin, especially uncontrolled stress. If you do not find ways to relax and unwind, you will be more prone to acne breakouts and will trigger other skin issues, especially if you have sensitive skin. Make sure you always put your well-being first and prevent unnecessary stressful situations, by getting enough sleep every night, organizing your daily plans to avoid feeling overworked and overwhelmed, and most importantly, find time for yourself to relax and do the activities that not only calm your nerves but make you feel good too. Happiness makes you beautiful. 

It’s not really that complicated of a list, and it doesn’t cost you a thing. Maintain a healthy diet, exercise, relax your mind, drink water, avoid sugary drinks and processed foods, moisturize daily and nightly, and of course, do not forget to wear sunscreen before you leave the house. In no time, you’ll have the natural glow and smooth skin you have always wanted indefinitely.

10 MUST-HAVE KITCHEN GADGETS FOR CREATING HEALTHY MEALS

Do you need a little help cooking and crafting healthy meals? Here are 10 kitchen essentials every chef should have in their arsenal.

Great food is one of the true joys of life. And these days, more and more people are learning the value of maintaining a healthy diet.

When you're ready to start eating healthy, you'll probably need some help in the kitchen. That means you will want to buy the proper kitchen tools for cooking healthy.

Fortunately, this article takes a look at some of the best kitchen tools for creating meals that will benefit both your health and appetite. Keep reading to see a list of must-have kitchen tools that will help take your cooking skills to the next level. 

1. A Set of Quality Kitchen Knives

When it comes to getting serious work prep done in the kitchen, one of the most important smartest purchases you can make is to invest in quality cutlery.

Sure, you can save a few bucks and buy cheap knives, but nothing makes cooking more of a pleasure than slicing with a high-quality blade. The key is to buy durable stainless steel knives that will slice super thin and hold a sharpened edge.

If you've never used high-end kitchen knives, get ready, because it's truly a life-changing experience. 

2. A Quality Blender

When you're wanting to eat healthier, you'll discover the value of blending foods for smoothies and other tasty drinks and recipes. 

Yet there's nothing more frustrating than a cheap blender that continuously jams, breaks, or simply doesn't perform the task the way you need it to.

Investing in a quality blender will be one of the best purchasing you ever make for your kitchen. You'll discover the joy of effortlessly pulverizing your favorite fruits and vegetables, as well as ice, seeds, and other ingredients necessary for preparing healthy and delicious recipes. 

3. A Steamer Basket

No healthy diet is complete without plenty of fresh vegetables. And series veggie-heads know that the best tool for preparing vegetables for dinner is a steamer basket.

This classic kitchen gadget allows you to easily lower veggies into a pot of boiling water, and then simply lift them out when they are properly steamed.

Keep in mind that you don't want to boil your veggies, but simply steam them. That's what makes this tool so handy. After all, the steamer basket suspends your veggies about the boiling water so that the steam can reach them without the super-heated water washing away the nutrients.

This is a classic for a reason. It gets the job done simply and efficiently each and every time.

4. An Instant Pot

An Instant Pot is a kitchen tool that allows you to slow-cook meals during the day while you're away from the house.

Do you find it exhausting returning home to prepare dinner following a long day at work? Most people can relate. That's the beauty of the Instant Pot. 

This nifty electronic cooking pot makes it possible to return home to a hot meal that's ready to enjoy the moment you walk in the door.

Simply chop up your favorite veggies such as carrots and potatoes, add some beans and ham or roast, and let it slow simmer all day long.

You'll come home to a house that smells amazing, and the only decision left to make is who's turn it is to do the dishes.

5. A Spiralizer

Here is another kitchen gadget that will make you wonder how you ever lived without it. 

Healthy diets require a lot of vegetables and other heart-healthy ingredients. After all, you will want to make a lot of salads for lunches and dinners. That's where a spiralizer saves the day.

This is a gadget that reduces a full-size item such as vegetables, fruit, cheese, or meat in a cute spiral that will make your salad look like it came from a 5-star restaurant.

Not only will your salad look great, but prep time will also be cut in half. Simply feed a food item gently through the blades, and presto, a stylish spiral of carrots, tomatoes, or pepper will come out the other end.

What could be easier and more fun than that?!

6. Good Measuring Spoons & Cups

Having good measuring spoons and cups in your kitchen might not seem like a big deal, but they are actually key to a healthy diet.

Accurate measurements are crucial to creating great recipes. Yet many people fail to use accurate measuring tools in the kitchen.

Measuring spoons and cups are easy to take for granted, but adding the perfect amount of ingredients can make the difference between a meal that will make your mouth water and a dish that falls short of expectations.

7. A Digital Scale

Again, the ability to accurately measure ingredients while cooking is extremely important to a great culinary experience.

Along with quality measuring spoons and cups, we strongly recommend investing in a digital scale. This will help take the guesswork out of the most complicated dishes, and your tastebuds will thank you.

8. Quality Storage Containers

Leftovers are a part of life. In fact, leftovers are often more fun than the original meal. And the key to getting the most out of healthy leftovers is quality storage containers. This is certainly not the place to try and save a few dollars.

9. Quality Cookware Sets

Next, be sure to invest in quality cookware sets. Believe it or not, this is the secret to making the cooking experience fun and satisfying. Treat yourself to a great set, and you'll never regret it.

The Kitchen Witches' guide to top cookware sets will make cooking in your kitchen a true delight.

10. A Tomato Slicer

No meal is complete without tomatoes. A good tomato slicer will produce perfect slices each and every time.

5 QUICK TIPS IN MAKING HEALTHY YET DELICIOUS SNACKS

We all know that losing weight is not an easy feat. With the holidays soon approaching, shedding excess weight becomes even harder. We are always bombarded with various diet plans, but it all boils down to making sustainable, informed choices. It’s all about creating perfect decisions, and there is no better choice than eating a healthy snack.

It is easier to say than to implement, right? When you are going out on a vacation or business meeting, you don’t always know what constitutes a healthy snack. That is why this article has come to your rescue! This article will provide excellent tips to help you prepare a slim and smart snack suitable for your weight loss needs. There are a series of crucial decisions you have to make when renovating your kitchen. No kitchen is considered to be complete without modern cooking appliances.

Choosing the right cooking appliances can be an uphill task, especially when you don’t know where to start. This article will help you select kitchen ovens, refrigerators, sink and dishwasher amongst other cooking appliances.

5 Simple Tips for Healthy Snacking

1. Match and Mix

Your diet is personal. Although we have general guidelines to follow, our eating habits are unique and not universal. Maybe you consume more fat in your breakfast than an average person. If that is the case, you need to include that in your afternoon snack. Your gut will probably react with something nutritious and delicious like walnuts. Making healthy snacks are as easy as limiting specific foods and combining them with other micronutrients. Snacking using a single food can be dangerous. Match and mix for healthy, smart snacks.

2. Reduce Simple Carbs

We all understand that sugar has adverse effects on our health. You might have already started to cut out sweets, candy, soda, etc., but many times we don’t remember those simple carbs can be dangerous. They behave like the normal sugars only that they are burned quickly by your body and won’t leave you satisfied for long.

Let’s take a typical example. A sandwich is a quick snack for many people. It contains a lot of lean proteins; it has a beautiful appearance when packed in a paper. One slice of bread contains 15 carbs, but it does not exceed the macros. White bread contains processed wheat, and that could probably be the source of those carbs. To avoid this problem, you can add some proteins in the salad, vinaigrette dressing and dark greens.

3. Have a Pre-vetted, Go-to Healthy Option

Sometimes making perfect snacking choices boils down to having healthy options in your hand. Preparing meals is a hard task for many people, but preparing snacks are a little bit easier. Adding something simple like carrots can make a significant difference in your snacking. If you require something healthier, there are various pre-vetted options such as Espresso Obsesso offers balanced macros in a simple package.

4. Remove Troublesome Ingredients

Sometimes pre packaged snacks help people to eat healthily, but certain ingredients blow them off. For instance, Trail mix is full of complex carbs, fruits and nuts, but they add something such as M&M to make it more enjoyable. But removing M&M from your snack could be the best option. If you want to reduce your sugar consumption, you need to keep off from those delicious morsels. That could help you save a lot of carbs and calories!

5. Begin with the Meals

A surefire way to make sure you over-snack is avoiding eating enough food during the previous meal. Snacks should be easy, quick and sufficient food to make it to the next meal. Therefore, if a snack in between your meals ensure that you consume enough food during your main dishes.

Snacking is hard. But this article aims to make it easier, by providing top-notch snacking tips that will help you prepare healthy snacks. If you follow the snacking tips outlined above, you will be able to suppress those midday hunger pangs effortlessly. This article has provided five simple tips for healthy snacking that readers wanted to know.

SUPPLEMENTS YOU SHOULD TAKE TO STAY FIT AND HEALTHY

Supplements You Should Take To Stay Fit and Healthy

Supplements and vitamins have been excluded in the discussion of quite some time in people diet. The most affected gender is the men who do not consider discussing the useful supplements and vitamins to use. The ladies have a wide variety of probiotics to choose from supporting their health concerns. There are very minimal probiotics available in the market today available for men to use.

Jillian Michaels, NO EXCUSES

As we continue to challenge ourselves in all things, we must be mindful of balance. We got an earful and learned a thing or three when we chatted with Jillian Michaels to be properly motivated.

There are some people that inspire and it has nothing to do with their path in life but the way that they go about just getting it done. The method to
their madness and how they apply it to all facets in their life are great takeaways for how you can do the same.

As a health guru, Jillian Michaels never stops and knows how to stay focused on her goals. This Terminator that we love can motivate masses of people to stay on the path of eating right and exercising, while she continues to embrace opportunities that come her way. The Celebrity Trainer,
author, TV personality, fitness designer, consultant, mother of two and partner to Heidi Rhoades is a powerhouse as a brand and individual. She pushes her boundaries means through hard work and keeping it real. With each lane that she takes on, we get the opportunity to learn more about her insatiable drive as well as the woman behind the system.

Later this month, the E! series Just Jillian, gives access to the driven (this we know) and softer side of Jillian through her home life, appearances,
adding more layers to her dynasty. It’s the inner workings of the woman who essentially works every day to figure it out through the day to day and challenging parts of life. At the end of the day, it’s about making it happen and staying even keel in the process. Jillian is certainly no stranger to reality TV by any means as we all know her from NBC’s Biggest Loser and last fall, she was the co-host of Spike TV’s Sweat Inc which was a Shark Tank for those creating fitness systems/methods. In this show, she challenged, motivated and questioned participants on what they created and how it was applicable within studio fitness systems. In addition, she personally worked out each method providing ample feedback.

She took this same approach when she collaborated with Kmart on her fitness line, Impact by Jillian Michaels. This came out of a need to have an athletic line that she notes as “progressive and cool” while being accessible to the masses. In true Jillian style, she shared that it had to be functional and performance driven with fun style. In addition, true to her brand she stands behind the fact that it can be worn multiple times without falling apart, is at a moderate price point and every item is wear-tested by her.

PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY | JILLIAN MICHAELS

We know that all of this is merely a drop in the bucket within the world of Jillian Michaels in terms of her day to day. The Athleisure Mag team will definitely set our DVRs to check out the golden nuggets of truth on her show as she’s a straight shooter. But what can we do right now to be healthy, crush our responsibilities and find time for a friends, family and ourselves. 

2016 is a blank canvas to our health vision and she gave Athleisure Mag her no nonsense answers to eliminate any excuses that you may attempt to utter when you need a little encouragement. With the New Year comes the commitment of many who are ready to get fit (seriously); however, some lose their way. Jillian explains that she has, “heard every excuse in the book for why people can’t make the time to work out or completely fall off track”. “There are few things you can do to ensure you don’t lose focus. First off, set a specific, realistic goal. It can’t be ‘ I want to lose weight,’ “ she says. Make the reason, I want to get into a dress or get in shape for a vacation. This goal is achievable as it is anchored into an experience that you want o be in. “Once you have that, make sure to write it down in places that you will see it and for an added dose of accountability”, she suggests “to place it on Facebook”. We all know that once you post, it’s officially a thing and you’d be surprised at the amount of motivation that you will receive from those within your network.

With the initial motivation set, the fitness guru has an interesting piece of advice, “don’t let one slip up completely derail you. It’s OKAY to miss a workout, we all get off track some times — just make sure you find your focus the next day”. Coming from her, it’s easy to see that she understand
that no one is perfect; however, we have to get back up if we are truly committed.

The decision to work out and to stick with it is one of many steps that you’ll take on the road to fitness. But there are so many options out there and many are fads within dieting as well as fitness trends. We had to ask what she thinks about this. “Fads are considered fads for a reason - they go out of style just as quickly as they came in.” By trying all of these options, it can be really confusing and can cause your body to get off track!

Jillian keeps it real. “I’m old school in the sense that hard work - regular strong interval training, eating right, tracking everything you put in your mouth and burning more calories than you consume - is the key to losing weight and getting fit”. As a side note when it comes to weight loss and eating, she is a less is more kind of girl. Her 80/20 rule focuses on eating healthier foods 80% of the time and having treat foods at 20%. In addition, “avoid fake foods and chemicals” when you can.

Jillian is focused on the whole body, she reminds us that we should build a better life overall and not just a better body. It is important to have good health as well as to connect and cultivate your passions.
