Mindful Living is Healthy Living

Describing mindfulness can be hard. So, let’s do a little thought experiment and try some mindful living for a minute.

Imagine you’re walking through a city, enjoying the fresh air, and delighting in the bustle and energy of the streets. You take a seat on a bench near a busy intersection, safely tucked away from traffic. You’re happy to rest for a moment and take in the sights and sounds. What goes through your mind as you witness the traffic?

You might notice the make, model, and color of each car that passes. Perhaps you take note of how fast a particular car whooshes by. Maybe you see another car run a red light. You allow yourself to observe these visual cues and understand them as information, without the need to interpret them as good, bad, wrong, or right.

This basic analogy is what many practitioners use to describe mindfulness. Let’s unpack it to dig deeper into this important, but elusive concept.

Maintaining Muscle Mass While Losing Weight

Weight loss is rarely a straight path. One of the biggest challenges along the way is the risk of losing muscle while trying to lose fat. Unintended muscle loss can lead to slower metabolism, reduced strength, less tone or definition, and even long-term health risks.

The best strategy for maintaining muscle while losing weight is to adopt a balanced, health-focused approach that supports fat loss while preserving lean muscle. With the right combination of nutrition and exercise, you can achieve sustainable results that go beyond the number on the scale.

The key to maintaining muscle mass while losing weight lies in embracing a long-term, health-focused approach.

Learn to Practice Body Acceptance and Body Positivity

Body positivity and body acceptance are usually talked about in grand, sweeping terms. Most people are discussing the body positivity movement, not body acceptance on an individual level. And there’s nothing wrong with that. It often takes a movement to make changes. (And the body positivity movement has done a lot to redefine beauty standards in advertising!)

But when it comes to body acceptance and positivity on an individual basis, representation in advertising is only a piece of the puzzle. The others are self-love and self-acceptance.

So what can you do in your life to foster body acceptance and body positivity? Here’s a hint: forget about the scale. Or at least put it away for a bit. Keep reading for a rundown on what exactly body acceptance means, tips on how to promote body acceptance in your own life, and some health metrics you can turn to instead of weight.

Meta-Analysis of CoQ10 Supplementation’s Ties to Heart Health

CoQ10 (ubiquinone) is an antioxidant that has been used to help improve functional status during congestive heart failure (CHF). Congestive heart failure is a condition in which the heart’s pumping power is weaker than normal. As a result, the heart cannot pump enough oxygen and nutrients to meet the body’s needs.

In a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of CoQ10 supplementation on ejection fraction (EF) and functional improvements of patients with CHF. A systematic review of the research literature was performed using databases that included Medline, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and examination of references from other selected studies.

When all studies were pooled, supplementation with CoQ10 resulted in a net change of 3.67% in the EF and a trend in functional improvements. Cross-over studies of 12 weeks or more, daily dosages of at least 100 mg CoQ10, and patients with less severe CHF showed the most significant improvements in EF and health outcomes.

Although additional well-designed studies with a more diverse population are needed, this meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials suggests that CoQ10 supplementation may improve the EF of patients with CHF.

Vitamin Conversions – International Units (IU) to mg or mcg

When you look at a food label, you might be confused at the variety of different measurements used to indicate how much of each vitamin is in that food. You’ll find terms like mg, mcg, IU and more. Why are there a variety of different terms used, and how do you convert between these different units?

International Units (IU) are one of the standardized units used to calculate or measure vitamin potency and biological effectiveness. IUs are preferred rather than weight for many vitamins, because different vitamin forms can have different levels of potency. IUs provide a standardized way to calculate a vitamin’s potency across different vitamin forms.

International Units (IU) are used to measure vitamin potency. The formula for converting vitamin IU mg or mcg depends on the vitamin form being measured. Find common vitamin calculations here.

Andaming nagtatanong sa DM from my regular stories kaya minsanan ko na lang sasagutin dito.

Nakakatulong ba ang USANA Cellsentials sa laging may sipon at ubo?

Any supplements in the Philippines cannot promise cure, treatment or disease prevention. But here’s my simplest explanation: In principle, having good nutrient status supports your immune system and may make it more resilient to infections (flu) or less reactive (allergies).

-Vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, D, A, zinc, and selenium are known to support immune function. For instance, vitamin D deficiency has been associated with increased risk of respiratory infections.

-Antioxidants reduce oxidative stress, which can play a role in inflammation and immune responses. The phytonutrients in CellSentials may support these systems.

-Quercetin and similar flavonoids have been studied for anti-inflammatory and antioxidant roles; some small studies suggest they might reduce allergic responses.

USANA is heavily science-based (150 scientists, hundreds of clinical trials) when it comes to formulating the optima nutrients your body needs. Supplements can support health as part of a broader lifestyle (healthy diet, sleep, stress-management, avoiding exposures) but they are not a substitute.
