Foods to increase stamina

 Foods that are high in protein and contain specific nutrients can help you concentrate for longer periods of time. Eat at the right time can also help you stay productive. These nutrients can improve concentration, and you can make your own choices in the form of snacks sold in the market to remain focus and concentration throughout the day.

12 Healthy Eating Tips Part 1

How to eat better: Top 12 healthy-eating tips Part 1

1. Keep a food journal. I've learned, both from research studies and experience, that the most important tool for weight loss or any dietary change is a food diary (in which you keep note of every single thing you eat throughout the day for at least a week). It helps you track what you're eating, makes you accountable and makes it easier for you to identify areas for change. 
2. Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day. Even though I've sometimes had to skip it, I always feel more energetic and alert when I have it. My best mornings start with a tall, nonfat latte that I drink in a café after my walk. Back home, I eat either oatmeal (sometimes topped with fresh fruit), whole wheat bread with cheese or with peanut butter, or cottage cheese with fresh fruit. These are healthful choices, and the protein fills me enough to keep me going all morning.

7 Healthy Habits for a Great Sex Life Part 2

7 Healthy Habits for a Great Sex Life Part 2


 

Sex Life Enhancer No. 5: Limit Alcohol Consumption
In moderation, red wine and other alcohol may have some benefits. Drinking can be liberating, and some alcohol (like red wine) contains flavonoids, which may help protect against certain diseases like heart disease and some cancers. But in excess, alcohol is a drug that is a depressant. And it can exacerbate anxiety, says Berman. Keeping alcohol consumption to a moderate level is recommended. This means one drink a day for women, two for men.



Sex Life Enhancer No. 6: Consume Less Caffeine
Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor, which means it may have a negative effect on blood flow. But there is some evidence that chocolate, which contains some caffeine, can have a positive effect on libido. While there is no definitive proof linking caffeine to erectile dysfunction or female sexual arousal disorder, doctors do know that caffeine can restrict blood vessels, so keeping consumption to moderate levels may be the best practice when it comes to libido and a healthy sex life.


Sex Life Enhancer No. 7: Eat Healthfully
Eating a diet rich in colorful, antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables is great for good overall health, which in turn can help increase your libido and improve your sex life. The Mediterranean diet, based on healthy fruits and vegetables and foods with omega-3 fatty acids, is excellent for good sexual health, says Berman. She adds that supplements such as a multivitamin and antioxidants like CoQ10 and lycopene (which is thought to help prevent prostate cancer) may also help boost libido.. Be sure to talk to your doctor about any supplements so you can find the best choices for you.

  • Bread--1 slice bread, 1\2 bagel or English muffin, 1 ounce ready-to-eat cereal, 1\2 cup cooked cereal, rice or pasta, or 5-6 small crackers
  • Vegetable--1 cup raw, leafy vegetables, 1\2 cup cooked or chopped raw vegetables or 3\4 cup vegetable juice
  • Fruit--1 medium piece of fruit, 1\2 cup mixed fruit or 3\4 cup fruit juice
  • Milk--1 cup milk or yogurt, 11\2 ounces natural cheese or 2 ounces process cheese
  • Meat--2 - 3 ounces cooked lean meat, poultry or fish (about the size of a deck of cards)
  • Other foods which count as 1 ounce meat: 1\2 cup cooked dry beans, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons peanut butter or 1\3 cup nuts
