Blueberry Cuke Smoothie

As for the blueberries, you can always use fresh ones if they happen to be in season, but the frozen ones give a great cool temperature to this smoothie. In addition to that, frozen blueberries are often fresher that the fresh ones because they were frozen right after being picked up. I personally like to buy the frozen wild blueberries, which are smaller, but very colourful, juicy and packed with high levels of vitamin C and other beneficial antioxidants.
A final touch is added to this smoothie with a little bit of fresh lemon juice, which adds just the right amount of sour taste to it.
Enjoy this very quick smoothie recipe whenever you feel pressed by time and when a home cooked meal is just out of the question. This way, smoothies can be a great way to prevent you from slipping away from your good habits by allowing you to bring something with you at work or at school without having to prepare anything fancy.

Get used to it. Embrace the smell of your sweaty socks. Not many people make a daily practice out of pushing themselves beyond their comfort zones for one workout a day. Not many people step out of what is comfortable for themselves period. This is a niche movement. Not everyone will get why you train this way or why you train at all. Thankfully we don’t need anyones permission or approval, and if we are looking for support we have a place to go where people get it. Being weird requires a good measure of independ

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Image
Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution. Children are at greater risk because they are generally more active outdoors and their lungs are still developing. Exposure to air pollution can cause both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) health effects. The health of our lungs and entire respiratory system is affected by the quality of the air we breathe. In addition to oxygen, this air contains other substances
