Can Travel Affect Mental Health?
Getting out and traveling can have many benefits for both your mental and your physical health. Exploring new places and engaging yourself in new cultures is mentally stimulating. If you do this on a regular basis it can have great effects on your mental health.
The Benefits of Physical Activity at Work
With the World Health Organization (WHO) recommending adults participate in at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise every week, this could be impossible (well not really) for some of us. But the good news is that this can be broken down into sessions: for example, 30 minutes a day for five days a week. Ok, but where and when is the 30 minutes coming from?
With work accounting for a large part portion of our time during the day, and home and family commitments taking up much of what is left, it’s easy to see why many of us are failing in this department. One solution is for workplaces to make physical activity a priority. They could have it where everyone has the opportunity to achieve, at least, 30 minutes of exercise each day throughout the working week.

Research shows that doing activities in groups such as team sports or volunteering helps enhance your communication skills and build healthy relationships.

When in doubt, check with your doctor, personal trainer, dietician, or nutritionist.
Should You Go Grain Free
Grains are basically the edible seeds of certain grasses (in a nutshell). Without the nuts! So, anyway some examples of such grains are wheat, rice, oats, corn, barley, millet, rye, spelt just to name a few or most of them. There are some grains referred to as “pseudo-grains” such as quinoa, buckwheat, and amaranth. These are technically seeds so I know the people that follow a grain free diet generally stay away from these as well.
