In the age of technology, we’ve surrounded ourselves with electronic devices that make our lives so easy that we barely lift a finger to get things done. “Why walk to yogen früz when I can drive somewhere,” we rhetorically ask ourselves knowing that driving is faster. Yes, we save time but would it be better to walk to yogen früz and get exercise?

What are the actual benefits of exercise? Studies have show that the healthier we eat and the more exercise we get, the better our lives are. Below are 5 ways exercise can improve our lives.

1. Exercise improves your mood.

   Exercise stimulates various brain chemicals that leave you feeling happier and more relaxed. You’ll also look better and feel better when you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem. Regular exercise can even help prevent depression.

2. Exercise combats chronic diseases.

   Regular exercise can help you prevent, or manage, high blood pressure. Regular exercise boosts high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or “good,” cholesterol while decreasing triglycerides. Both combined keeps your blood flowing smoothly by lowering the buildup of plaques in your arteries.

3. Exercise helps you manage your weight.

   When you exercise, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn and the easier it is to manage your weight. You don’t even need to set aside major chunks of time for working out. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Walk to yogen früz during your lunch break. Do jumping jacks during commercials.

4. Exercise boosts your energy level.

   When you exercise, oxygen and nutrients are delivered to your tissues. In fact, regular exercise helps your entire cardiovascular system and the circulation of blood through your heart and blood vessels work more efficiently. When your heart and lungs work more efficiently, you’ll have more energy to do the things you enjoy.

5. Exercise promotes better sleep.

   A good night’s sleep can improve your concentration, productivity and mood during the day. Exercise can be the key to better sleep. Regular exercise can help you fall asleep faster and deepen your sleep. There’s a caveat, however. If you exercise too close to bedtime, you may be too energized to fall asleep. If you’re having trouble sleeping, you might want to exercise earlier in the day.

We ran into an interesting article over at the Fitness Tips for Life website. They offered advice about healthy foods you can eat while holiday shopping at the mall and what foods to avoid. Guess who they suggested?

Now we came up with our own list of tips to compliment anyone’s holiday shopping experience.

1. Try to come to the mall only wearing a light jacket as the malls are already set to a toasty 72F / 22C

2. Bring cash only so you know you will not overspend

3. Wear comfortable shoes

4. Avoid caffeine as it just gives you a short spike in energy and leaves you more tired than before

5. Avoid shopping on an empty stomach

6. Eat healthy snacks like Yogen Fruz frozen yogurt, smoothies and fruit cups to maintain your energy level. :)

7. Stay hydrated and drink lots of water

8. Bring your iPod to avoid having to listen to the same holiday jingles over and over, from store to store.

9. Take lots of breaks, cuz we know what heavy shopping bags can do.

The literal meaning of “Probiotics” comes from the Greek meaning “For Life” Probiotics are living bacteria cultures, which when consumed in sufficient quantities, have beneficial effects on health. While many yogurts contain live cultures, they may not have the strength to survive the digestive process and therefore, may not provide the same health benefits as adding Probiotic cultures. Yogen Früz, by adding Probiotic cultures to its frozen yogurt, may help to maintain optimal levels of good bacteria in your digestive system.

Some of the benefits of Probiotic cultures are that it may assist in lowering cholesterol, may help manage lactose intolerance, may improves immune system, may prevent infections, may reduce inflammation, may help improve mineral absorption and may help maintain a healthy digestive system. For more information on the benefits of Probiotic cultures, visit the following websites:
