Healthy Living

When you live near a grocery store, it can be tempting to spend half your paycheque there — picking up staples is easy when all you need to do is fill your cart. However, did you know that there are tons of things that are surprisingly easy to make at home that taste better than their store-bought counterparts? Basic pantry staples like bread, chili powder, and pizza sauce will always taste better when they’re homemade. You can make them exactly to your taste, and you don’t need to worry about any unhealthy hidden ingredients because you can control exactly what goes into the mix.

When the temperatures begin to drop our response is often instinctual — just like other animals, all we want to do is burrow into a warm nest, and spend several months sleeping, and living off food that we’ve already gathered. While jobs, children, and other social obligations make this enticing prospect more of a fantasy than a reality, we can still ensure that our fall season is cozier than ever by whipping up a series of hearty and delicious dinners that take advantage of the last days of seasonal produce.

When the weather gets cold, it can be hard to motivate yourself to leave the couch, and keep up all of your active habits from the summer months. Days are colder and nights come earlier, and it’s easy to give up on good habits formed during the bright, hot days of summer. If you’re worried that you’re going to look more like a bear than a person at the end of the winter, you’ll need to start digging deep for motivation to exercise now, rather than later.

The world of health and wellness is very crowded. New diet trends, “revolutionary” workout routines, diet supplements … you can get lost in the ever shifting, ever changing world that is your health. Our word of advice? Filter out the static and stick to the tried and true classics. Case in point: swimming.

Summer is here! Even though the thermometer has hit the high 80s early this year, it isn’t officially summer until June 21st. And now that we’ve passed that date, it’s the perfect time to plan out your ultimate summer bucket list!

We all want to make a good first impression, right? Whether you’re looking to impress a first date, hoping to stand out at an upcoming job interview, or just looking to make new friends, it’s no secret: first impressions matter.

Though it may not affect the number on your bathroom scale per se, eating right before bed can still negatively impact your sleep and make you feel bloated. But fret not our hungry, night dwelling friend. Healthversed has got you covered. Today, we’re going to provide you with a few guilt-free nighttime munchies that won’t give you nightmares.

Cutting down on the amount of meat that you eat each week is something that’s easy as long as you find healthy, protein-rich alternatives to replace those nutrients in your diet. Even if you decide to make one day a week meatless, it will really help your resolve to stick with your new meal plan if you take the time to look up some delicious new recipes to try in place of meat.

For many people, creativity is required to do a job, complete a project, or allow them to move forward in their life. If you’re one of those people — or if you would simply like to tap into your creativity as a way to enjoy life and try new things — you may need a boost from time to time.

We all see those hair commercials on TV with the girls dancing around with beautiful, shiny, voluminous hair. Unless you’ve hit the genetic jackpot, this may feel nearly impossible to obtain. Thin hair can be inherited genetically, or may be affected by a variety of other factors including diet, hormone imbalances, or aging.
