a lot of people get their inspiration for healthy eating and fun workouts from social media, especially the younger generation. but they don't mind if some of their role models are a little older, like erica rish. most people's these start to her just looking at this. erica wisco is 81 and instagram and tick tock star. when she 1st started posting videos of her workouts during the pandemic, they were really just for her family locked down yet, and the lockdown began last march. to tell my daughter started posting the clips on tick tock. after all the comments and reactions we carried on and i took them last several times a week mother and daughter record new videos and eric is living room and she's now

racked up 100006 followers and nearly 10000000 views. and the model and the 1st thing in the morning i go into the kitchen and go online to check how many new followers and likes i have likes that the 3 that this brightly grandma has also attracted a following in the us. she was interviewed by the wall street journal and featured on good morning america. looks at her and her husband dancing are also ahead of time. sometimes he masters the steps faster than ideals of the choreography. i mean, erica moves like a teenager and even talks like what, what a pro pandemic has a lot of us resorting to online videos and homework out a good idea that can go wrong. so here are a few tips for staying in shape safely. when

lockdown was introduced last year, jennifer last from huntington and western germany, was determined to stay in shape government after i watched the videos online and checked out all the different workouts and routines and started doing them at home. across germany, jim's hand to close fitness loving jennifer through the university students simply carried on working out in the comfort of her own home. but then disaster struck. i found it in the heater the moment i made a wrong move and ended up with a sacral iliac joint sprain. it lasted 6 weeks. i couldn't walk properly or even sit down and what does it sacral illegally? this is a fairly common problem. and one of many complaints that sports physician casberg crim, seeing more of these days he advisors

against overdoing workouts at home. is a saw with currently seeing an increase in patients with injuries often sustain due to high impact sports exercise, you know, used to that you're doing for the 1st time is of course potentially problematic. and that these days exercise routines are getting more and more complex, flexible. so there's a risk that they're not done properly. and that increases the risk of strain and injury from overuse the call. and going to select someone ballast on shane hood. so how can people working out at home without a trainer on hand? avoid injury last do not. and far beyond these, the moment from the german sport university in cologne. have a few tips. first of all, being well prepared to mix all the difference with the spam home fitness.

when you're exercising at home, make sure your environment to see and that you've moved everything that can be dangerous out of the way. you need a proper mat and it's best to wear shoes and studies show that a quarter of injuries during home workouts involved the ankle joint. so shoes are important and where something comfortable you can work up a sweat in the middle of flesh with some kind of 2nd late. a proper warm up is crucial. that order. my name's question. do you need to get ready? loosen the joins the hips. do some shoulder exercises, spend about 5 minutes warming up and then you're good to go. good fall. i kept number 3, start slowly and don't do it. because i also don't the biggest challenge when you're working out at home is finding the exercises that suit you. you need to pick routines that work for you, that you enjoy, and make sure you don't overdo it and that they aren't too high impact on this one

as one license. you need to start slowly where you'll push yourself and stay motivated, but won't be risking injury to a horse for let's leave the call in this booked chip number for when it comes to equipment. less is more money. you don't need to use wait straight away. just use everyday objects or you own body weight or, or even a towel when so come on stop. last but not least listen to your body. right? if you want to increase the intensity, gradually, you don't have to go overboard. if you're focusing on balance training, you can start with both legs and then just use one leg and then work up to doing the exercises with your eyes closed. there are so many ways you can make it more challenging. lucas cabinets to jennifer laska learned her lesson the hard way, but she hasn't given up on exercising at home. and she has a new favorite work out. good old hula hooping. it's enjoying a revival,

and not only the fun, it's relatively thing. the people have been eating lemon since time immemorial, but right now they're more popular than ever. lots of lemon water. first thing is said to boost the immune system and help with wait long, at least according to the internet. but when it comes to nutrition, lemons are much the same as other fruit and vegetables. sure, lemon water might help with weight loss. but that's mainly because water helps you feel full. another example of why online health advice isn't always reliable. how healthy use milk does the medication my doctor prescribed you have any side effects which mask will protect me from covered 19. what are some good bicep

exercises? who's got the answer is power smartphone of course. so can the internet help us to help your life? well, 1st of all, free access to information, especially health information is a good thing for the group. the vision in for my thinking, new intonation and understanding what it means is always a challenging process in any context context. if you ask leading search engine how to lose weight more than 100000000 results will pop up and that's just in english. if it's clear skin year after you tube will deliver thousands of hits, you have to be able to judge if you're dealing with a reliable source. and in the case of medical information, whether it's scientifically sound in the end,

it's up to the individual user to figure that out. done the, the often the fun for them to find something in germany, the independent bachelor's mind nation surveyed more than 1000 people to ask how the search were health information online. they discovers that many users assume that hits are sorted for relevant and up to date information and only look at the top results. in top, 3 hits on your search engine are usually the most popular content. but that doesn't necessarily mean they're reliable. still search engines can be very useful, they're the gateway to a world of health information for many people without a search engine. it would be hard to find the good information and so on and off. and so how can we use the internet to find reliable information on the internet when you go online for health information, you need to more than just glance at the source, you need to ask what kind of

a source it is, who's putting this information online and what's their agenda? lie, patients associations, websites, a one good source of online health information. and they usually address specific health conditions. and they tend to draw on scientific sources and order of this softly from the dean. and there are also many forums and social media groups for people with specific health conditions. the members can often provide useful tips, but you do have to approach any advice with caution. is breaking through media when we exchange information about health issues on social media. we do that in writing . we have a natural tendency to assume that the written word is especially authoritative and reliable. but that's not always true. clar markham does certainly stuff. on instagram alone, users post millions of pictures every day. and of course, there's no way that all that content is reliable back them kite,

especially one of the key pieces of advice when it comes to medical information is to use good judgment done. that's especially true for online information, but it also applies to advice from experts. you have to a several factors. um, what does that information have to do with you specifically? can you find a 2nd or 3rd opinion? why is there any other important sources out the learning how to navigate that will make you a health information consumer to sum up? here's what to watch for when getting health information online, who's the source? and what's their agenda, is the advice backed up by scientific studies and is the information still up to date and relevant? social media can be harmful to mental health. the royal college of physicians in london analyzed some international studies,

and came to the following conclusion. social media engagement, or exposure to image related content may negatively impact body image and food choice in some healthy young adults. the main reason is that people compare themselves to the images they see and feel insecure. but the perfect bodies and flawless complexions they find on their feet are real. they've almost always been doctored with the help of filters. is social media giving users body image issues for a project called selfie. home british fashion, photographer, rankin snapped portraits a 15 teenagers wearing little to no makeup. then he told them to retouch the images using filters and apps to make them social media ready. the contrast between the before and after images was my opening. they created cartoon like versions of themselves,

hoping to look like the celebrities and influences they admire many apps unfilled as a free, and they're easy to use. most pages wouldn't dream of posting a selfie without editing it. first, clara is 16 national 15. they love taking se the social media and always use filters. mandy beth, make you look behind blemishes, and if there's something about your face, you don't like you just use a pixel filter and you instance in the last month it's a trend on the time. there are certain beauty standards and looks that are in fashion. it's just what's in right now. if you look right and then you're going to get more views. and like i did like, i just don't know. the more likes you have the most subscriber's social currency

that can be leverage. in 2020 liliana can reach the final of germany's next top model sheet now, and instagram influences which he deliberately see is clear of filters that took us extreme courses most i kept there's so much pressure until last year i really struggled with it. i use tons of filters and it was really hard to escape that tyranny and just be myself. i felt torn thinking, i had to get those likes. it's my job, it's how are my living? so if i'm not getting the likes i panic and the like the most of the panic, many people want to look like their idols on instagram, social media stuff like kylie jenna and kim cod actually. and some young people are so desperate to look like their idols. laid even on the gun cosmetic surgery. plastic surgeons say that thing, patients who ask for procedures that will make them look like their filter selfie

trends. some people are calling snapshot this morphia is shocking as it is. it doesn't surprise me. i know influencers who recommend cosmetic surgeons to do that cheap bone augmentation and offer discount codes. we take a while that a horrifies me because their job as an influence. there is to be a role model. well, that's how i see it to make them. and these days, a growing number of social media users are opting to drop their digital masks, hash tag, such as reality, and no filter are trending with influences encouraging their followers to show that true faces. are you never going to use filters anymore? have you given them up completely, or do you think sometimes they're okay? sometimes they can be fun. i though moment tab. i've used filters again privately

just for the fun of it. sure. but as liliana on instagram, my feeling now is that i'll never use them again, montana through my less still isn't morals, antiquity. it's a trend that's catching on the, on the web at the impossible the standards promoted by platforms like instagram can become dangerous and damaging to uses self confidence. once it's been design shawn best. because it led to set aside the standards that you say, you have to look and says in way you can just be yourself slow, but i'd say social media and all the filters on instagram and so on. give a lot of girls complexes when it's bad when people take it all too seriously and think that these standards are realistic. you have to remember that nothing on social media is actually real. and you shouldn't compare yourself to these images. when we stomach, which regulations the accepting yourself as you, unfiltered,

because it's our imperfections that makers perfect on social media, it's easy to make your looking younger and fresher. but what are some real life ways to maintain naturally healthy skin? our skin is our bodies largest oregon, and it's our bodies 1st line of defense. it works hard to protect us and we protect it with expensive creams and cosmetics. but do they actually work by and large, dermatologists agreed not really. a basic moisturizer is all you need. everything else comes from the inside, the nutrients food we eat. a healthy diet can boost the health of our skin. here are 3 foods with scientifically

proven skin health benefits. tomatoes, tomatoes contain a red pigment called like a pain. it's a plant nutrient with anti oxidant properties, that's also good for our skin. so what are anti oxidants exactly? when skin is exposed to sunlight or u v life, it generates free radicals, highly reactive molecules that can damage the skin. and that can lead to premature skin aging or even cancer. but antioxidants like like pain, can neutralize free radicals. that's why our skin loves tomatoes. sunflower, seed oil. it might seem on a feelin, but this oil is liquid gold for our skin, sunflower seed oil is rich and vitamin e, which is also a powerful antioxidant studies, have shown that regular consumption of sunflower seed. oil also has anti

inflammatory effects. and vitamin e also helps our body produce college in the protein that makes our skin firm and supple, sorry, can protect us from dirt, bacteria and toxins. and the skin major line of defense is the natural limpid barrier, made up of dead skin cells and the skins natural fats. fish such as sardines, help protect the skins liquid barrier, and fish oiled are high. and omega 3 fatty acids which studies have shown are beneficial to skin health and appearance. one last chip. although tomatoes, sunflower, oil, and sardines are great skin boosters. they should be part of a healthy and varied diet. ah, varied diet that's not too high in calories is important to maintaining

a healthy waste. obesity is on the rise worldwide. in 1976, the w h o reported that some 37 percent of the population in the americas was overweight by 2016. it was more than 60 percent in africa. the number of overweight adults tripled during those years. and in se, asia is almost quadruple. so we're counting calories help us, maintain a healthy weight. germany in the $970.00 s t v news cars sounded the alarm. the folks our appetite for hardy meals has brought with it and epistemic of over eating the time to hit the gym and count calories daunting prospect. ah. ready these days it's a bit easier to read labels often list the calorie content, but how's the caloric value of the food measured?

first, the food has to be chopped into small pieces. next, the food in this case, chocolate is weighed and packed into a small cup. a spoke is applied to ignite the sample, then the sample is placed into the chamber of the bomb. keller, room is the more heat it generates, the more calories that contains about at the moment colored emitter missed a bomb. color emitter only measures calories. it doesn't measure the amount of fat proteins or other nutri and for that you have to employ other methods often, balfour, balfour bacon and for fun, that's important because our bodies can tell the difference between fat of carbohydrates and proteins. they're all metabolized differently. most of the carbs and fats we eat aren't easily digested. they give us a 1st of energy, which is great if we're exercising or exerting ourselves. but if not,

those extra calories head straight for always lined. the protein and complex carbohydrates behave differently, digesting them takes time, and metabolizing them takes more work and that burns more calories and energy. and the flow of digestion means we feel full longer, which helps manage our appetite. then the calories from food we don't digest or absorb as easily take notes, for example. they're high and calories and long considered diet bus tests. but it turns out not so healthy and paper full longer with health, maintain a healthy weight new. so the feed effect that the not that do contain a lot of fat, but the amount of fat that's absorbed during digestion is comparatively less than with other fatty foods. in smithville foods, plus not rich and other nutrients such as electrolytes,

meaning minerals as well as vitamins and anti oxidants, which also makes them healthy. so if you want to lose weight, all calories are not the same. me. another factor is individual differences in metabolism. all sorts of factors can play a role age, gender illnesses, and even our genes. when it comes to losing weight, appetite is the biggest hurdle. researchers at the university of kill in northern germany put this to the test. this study investigates the link between appetite and calorie intake. the test subjects spend several days on the side and every parameter was strictly monitored. that included the food intake and how much they exercised their oxygen consumption was monitored. and so what they c o 2 production . even the urine was analyzed that and out the researchers to determine the link

between calories burned, appetite and, and physical activity diseases. what service is that when we have a high level of physical activity, when we expend a great deal of energy, our appetite is better coordinated to our energy needs. and then, but if we spend a day sitting at our desk or on the sofa watching television, what we see is that our appetite ends up out stripping our energy needs. and then we end up eating more food than we really need to fight it to feel we will get hungry and we will need to eat. but sedentary people often are hungry and they need to be and oh, the people who are physically active expend more energy, but their appetite doesn't increase proportionally. so if you're active, you can trust your up, it's going to be your going without becoming overweight. that's kind thoughts. you

don't have to work out, which is also an important point. just going on brisk walk will do the trip and you don't have to go to the gym or go jogging. just take long along the more unhealthy or diet. the longer your walks have to be quasi. an hour of brisk walking a day can be enough. the more vigorously you exercise, the shorter your workouts need to be to get your appetite in. another tip is to choose food written fibers like vegetables and whole grain gas cheap. you definitely don't want to drink your calorie liquids to the least to stealing your hunger. so it's best to stick to calorie free liquids on even better drink than before a meal because that fills you up and you eat last drinking to glasses of water before meals can be really helpful. a healthy diet that fools you up is
