One of our favorite smart scales for measuring body fat just got its price slashed in a Walmart deal – Livescience.com

Posted: March 17, 2024 at 2:37 am


If you want to lose weight and gain muscle, having bathroom scales that provide precise measurements of your body fat percentage and muscle mass can be invaluable. One set of smart scales that does just that has been slashed by $70, now costing just $29.99 at Walmart.

In our 2023 review of the RENPHO Smart Scales we awarded them a high score of 4.5 out of 5 stars. We even called them "one of the best devices for measuring body fat that weve tested."

Regular scales will just give you one basic weight measurement, which can lead you to confuse muscle gain with fat gain. However, the RENPHO Smart Scales analyze 13 body composition metrics, including body fat, muscle mass, body water, visceral fat, and metabolic age.

You can then access health data provided by the scales through fitness apps like Apple Health, Google Fit, and Fitbit. Once you view body composition metrics on the app, its easier to set healthy goals and monitor your progress.

These particular RENPHO USB Rechargeable Smart Scales are also rechargeable, with multiple charging options so you dont need to worry about buying batteries.

Key features: 13 body composition metrics, 3 foot (1 meter) USB cable, user manual, LED display, data synced with popular fitness apps.

Consensus: Walmart customers gave the RENPHO USB Rechargeable Smart Scales 4.9 out of 5 stars. Many customers also commented on how "easy" the scales are to use.

Buy it if: You want to get an accurate picture of your body composition, such as your muscle mass and body fat. This could allow you to set health and fitness goals more easily and effectively.

Don't buy it if: The scales use popular health and fitness apps to sync health data. So if you dont have a smartphone or tablet that allows you to access such apps, these scales wont be for you.

Victoria Beckham’s 16k wellness routine will leave you surprised – HELLO!

Posted: at 2:37 am


As a mother of four and the boss of a fashion powerhouse, Victoria Beckham's schedule is undoubtedly a packed-out one, so it's no surprise that the 49-year-old prioritises her health and fitness to keep at the top of her game.

The former Spice Girls singer has been vocal about how she stays in such great shape and her love of exercise. However, her overall wellness routine is less spoken about and she has a few surprising methods up her sleeve she enlists as part of her regime.

Whether it's working out in a gym that is surprisingly relatable despite her A-list status, or her bizarre beauty gadgets, Victoria's wellness game is more than varied. What's more, she even has surprising ways of elevating her routine at her and her husband David's stunning farmhouse mansion in the Cotswolds.

Victoria is passionate about health and wellness

Victoria's wellness spends all rack up to an impressive amount of more than 16,000 so we took a closer look

We love that when Victoria previously opened up about her daily exercise routine, she explained how it was equally important to her to view it as "me time" as well as a pastime that is going to keep her in shape the ideal attitude when considering overall wellbeing if you ask us.

Speaking with The Guardian, Victoria explained her exercise regime is her opportunity to focus on herself, and usually takes place first thing in the morning at her home in West London before taking her daughter Harper, 12, on the school run.

Specifically, the fashion designer hops on the treadmill to clear her head and prioritise alone time."For me, that's where I go in the morning, that's 'me' time.

Victoria sees her workouts as 'me time'

"It's not just about how it makes you look. It's how it makes you feel. It really gets me ready for the day. It clears my mind. It's also where I have lots of ideas. It's a time when I'm not on the phone, I'm not with the children, I'm not with David; I can literally just be left alone."

Another method for Victoria to bask in some alone time and focus on wellness is to spend some time in their at-home sauna.

The Beckhams spent an eye-watering 15,000 to install a sauna in the garden of their 12 million mansion in the Cotswolds, and it wouldn't look out of place at a luxury hotel and spa! So it's clear that Posh and Becks take wellbeing very seriously indeed.

While most of us folk only get to enjoy saunas at our local gym or health spa, Victoria gets to bask in the heat therapy after exercising her muscles from the comfort of her own home.

The Beckham's have their own sauna at their country home

We're yet to see Victoria post a photo of herself enjoying the sauna but her husband is a big fan! David has shared clips of him taking to the plunge pool which is a few steps away from the sauna, and we bet the ex-footballer likes to engage in hot-cold therapy by immediately jumping into the sauna after an ice bath.

Hot-cold therapy is an epic way to elevate your wellness game, and there are so many mental and physical benefits (read our full review on why, here).

Victoria is never without her sense of humour. The fashion and beauty guru posted a photo of herself enjoying an LED mask while relaxing at home in some seriously chic loungewear.

Although the photo sparked a mixed reaction from her followers due to the mask looking a little jarring, her effort for great skin actually has many benefits.

Victoria Beckham uses LED face masks regularly

Dr Leah Totton, former winner of BBC's The Apprentice and founder of Dr Leah Cosmetic Skin Clinics, told HELLO! about LED therapy: "LED stands for light-emitting diode, a non-invasive treatment that offers a range of clinically proven benefits for the skin. Each colour of light penetrates the skin at a different level, triggering specific responses."

The good news is, LED masks are suitable for all skin types and do not cause UV damage, so there's no harm in trying them out and channelling your inner Posh Spice. However, it's worth noting that a high-end LED mask from the premium market can set you back a cool 500 or more.

Victoria is fortunate enough to have personal trainers at her fingertips and often works out in the gyms in her multiple homes, but it seems Posh Spice at times likes to keep things more low-key.

Most recently, the star was photographed at Gold's Gym, an American chain of international fitness centres, in London close to the family's Holland Park mansion.

Victoria Beckham is passionate about exercise

Surprisingly, the gym offers a range of facilities and fitness amenities such as Zumba, Yoga, Group Cycling, Mixed Martial Arts, Muscle Endurance Training, and Pilates classes, all for just 32.99 per month.

Victoria often posts snaps of her in the gym lifting weights or pulling off low-intensity exercises such as lunges and squats. She's often joined by former England Football captain David, too, who also ensures to keep on top of his fitness game.

Diet For Kidney Health: Foods To Consume And Avoid – News18

Posted: at 2:37 am


Maintaining kidney health involves a balanced diet that supports overall well-being while managing specific dietary restrictions. A kidney-friendly diet typically emphasizes low-sodium, low-fat foods and includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Limiting phosphorus, potassium, and protein intake may also be necessary, depending on individual needs.

Dr Roshan Kore, Consulting Dietician, NHSRCC Childrens Hospital, says, A balanced diet rich in whole grains, lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables is essential for maintaining kidney health. Limiting sodium, phosphorus, and potassium intake is crucial, as these can exacerbate kidney diseases. Incorporating foods like leafy greens, berries, fish, and low-fat dairy can provide essential nutrients while supporting kidney function."

One must adopt a balanced diet to prevent kidney diseases. Emphasizing low-sodium, low-fat, and low-cholesterol foods is crucial. Opting for fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins like fish and poultry, and healthy fats such as those found in nuts and olive oil can promote kidney health. Incorporating foods rich in antioxidants like berries and leafy greens helps protect against oxidative stress," shares Dr Suparna Mukherjee, Charge, of Clinical Nutrition, Narayana Health City, Bangalore.

Hydration is also key; adequate water intake helps flush out toxins and prevents kidney stones. Avoiding processed foods, sugary drinks, and excessive alcohol consumption can further safeguard against kidney damage. Remember, a mindful approach to nutrition not only supports overall health but also plays a pivotal role in preventing and managing kidney diseases," adds Dr Kore.

Additionally, limiting processed foods, sugary beverages, and excessive protein intake can reduce the risk of kidney damage.

Remember, a wholesome diet is not only vital for overall health but also plays a pivotal role in safeguarding our kidneys for the long term," signs off Dr Mukherjee.

What is the breast cancer risk calculator recommended by Olivia Munn? – Daily Herald

Posted: at 2:37 am


Olivia Munn, shown at the Governors Awards on Jan. 9, in Los Angeles, urged people to work with their doctors and use a breast cancer risk calculator when revealing her breast cancer diagnosis and double mastectomy. The calculator is a questionnaire on the National Cancer Institutes website designed for health care providers to use with patients. The calculator may underestimate your risk, so its important to go over the questionnaire with your doctor. AP Photo/Chris Pizzello, File

When Olivia Munn revealed this week that she was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a double mastectomy, she urged people to ask their doctors to figure out their score on a breast cancer risk calculator.

Munn said her score prompted further tests and the discovery of an aggressive form of the disease.

Im lucky. We caught it with enough time that I had options, the 43-year-old actor posted on Instagram. I want the same for any woman who might have to face this one day.

A look at the calculator, the Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool:

What is the Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool?

It's a questionnaire on the National Cancer Institutes website that is designed for health care providers to use with patients. The tool received a dramatic increase in visits since Munns post, according to an NCI spokesperson.

First developed in 1989, it was originally based on data from only white women. Updates have made it more accurate for Black, Hispanic and Asian and Pacific Islander women.

It doesn't take everything into account and can't actually predict whether any one person will get breast cancer.

It asks about age, age at first menstrual period, age when the womans first child was born or if the woman has not given birth, family history of breast cancer, past breast biopsies, results of past biopsies, race and ethnicity.

The result is a lifetime risk and a five-year risk based on factors that have been tied to a higher risk of breast cancer. For comparison, it also gives an average risk for U.S. women of the same age, race and ethnicity.

Dr. Elizabeth Comen, who treats breast cancer at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, said women should do the assessment with their doctors, not by themselves.

Its very important to talk to your doctor about doing that together, and then making decisions about what imaging techniques are appropriate based on the results, Comen said. Munn's high score prompted additional imaging tests that aren't recommended for women of average risk.

Should everyone use the tool?

It's not the best risk calculator for some women. If you have a certain gene mutation or a previous history of breast cancer, it's not for you. It also doesn't take into account dense breast tissue, which can make cancer harder to spot.

The National Cancer Institute says the tool may underestimate risk in Black women with previous biopsies and Hispanic women born outside the U.S.

"The model needs further validation for Hispanic women and other subgroups, the institutes website says. Researchers are conducting additional studies to gather more data to test and improve the model.

There are dozens of similar tools, said Ashley Johnson, a nurse practitioner at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, who has studied them. Many health groups recommend that women over age 25 have such an assessment, she said, but there's not enough evidence to say which tool is best.

What do the scores mean?

A five-year risk score of 2%, for example, means a woman's estimated risk of developing breast cancer over the next five years is 2%.

A lifetime risk score of 7% means a woman's estimated risk of developing breast cancer through age 90 is 7%.

Mammogram guidelines are for women at average risk, said Dr. Arif Kamal, chief patient officer at the American Cancer Society. Guidelines vary but the society says women can choose to start annual mammograms at age 40.

Knowing your risk starts even before the age of 40, Kamal said. That's where a risk calculator can help.

How can I lower my risk of breast cancer?

Everyone has some risk of cancer, Comen said, but some lifestyle changes can reduce the chances.

She suggests avoiding processed foods, adding exercise and strength training to your routine, limiting alcohol and not smoking.

The six fitness myths that drive me crazy – The Telegraph

Posted: at 2:37 am


Fitness myths breed like rabbits online and it drives me insane. The sheer abundance of self-declared experts offering solutions to improving health, wellbeing, fitness, and more, is overwhelming. While some simply have good intentions, others might be pushing an agenda... or perhaps just their new range of weight loss teas.

Either way, the mass of information and worse, misinformation, is often contradictory and confusing and could easily leave you wondering who you can trust or what to believe. So, to help you navigate through the noise, here are some of the most common fitness myths that deserve to be debunked.

Were often told to stretch before a workout. But the latest research shows that this wont reduce your risk of injury and could even make you more vulnerable.

The scientists found prolonged stretching may actually lead to a short-term reduction in strength, so you could be more likely to overestimate how far you can push your body. Rather than stretching, try warming up with a few key moves that willget your body ready for the workout youre about to do. Prior to activities like running or racket sports, perform exercises like knee raises, hip rotations, calf raises, squats, and lunges.

People should not blindly follow Instagram and YouTube videos related to health and fitness: … – India Forums

Posted: at 2:37 am


Ansh Bagri, who is currently seen in Baghin, is disappointed to see a surge in health and fitness videos on the internet.

Published: Friday,Mar 15, 2024 05:58 AM GMT-06:00

Ansh Bagri, who is currently seen in Baghin, is disappointed to see a surge in health and fitness videos on the internet. He feels it is a very sensitive matter, because every person is different and there are a lot of risks involved.

Speaking in reference to the doctors cautionary message asking people not to follow any medical advice given by random influencers on social media, after Zerodha CEO Nithin Kamaths post about his mild stroke, he said, They go to the gym for four days and start giving tips about health and everything. But it's actually very sad and sensitive when it comes to fitness, workouts, and diet. Everything is different according to your body. You can inspire people to workout, and that's it, but you can't tell people what to eat and what not to eat.

I feel a certified dietician or certified doctor can give you a proper diet and workout. I am completely against such people and influencers because nowadays every second person is an influencer. I don't think people know the actual meaning of an influencer. Influencers are those who can influence people for good, and for that, you yourself should have some experience. I can be a digital person who makes a lot of videos, I can entertain people, but I cant be an influencer. The word influencer has a deep meaning, and people should know about it, he added.

Ansh further elaborated that people and influencers post videos related to health and fitness just to gain more views and likes, however, the audience should not be following them blindly. It is very sad that you are giving out wrong information to people about things you have no knowledge about. So I think people should not blindly follow Instagram and YouTube videos related to health and fitness. Always double check the information because for some people, its just money and entertainment, he said.

He mentioned that even if he sees a video related to health and fitness, he first looks into the person and whether they are certified or not. He added, If they are, then I do listen to it and see that whatever they are saying is working for my body or not because everyone has a different body type. I always double check with professionals, and then I follow.

Ansh concluded that influencer is a very positive word and should only be used for people who are doing good. Bhagat Singh was an influencer, PM Modi is an influencer who influences people for good. So for me, they are the real influencers, he ended.

Olivia Munn health update: Actress talks about her battle with breast cancer and says Lucky we caught it on time – Sportskeeda

Posted: at 2:37 am


Actress Olivia Munn has shared her breast cancer diagnosis in a heartfelt post on social media and has asked her fans and well-wishers to find out about their - Breast Cancer Assessment scores, to keep themselves safe and carcinogen-free. Most ladies have a 12-14 % risk of getting this disease and for the ones who have a genetic predisposition, the risks go up to 60-80%.

More awareness about breast carcinoma is needed and Olivia is doing a great job, by sharing her story to make people aware of the growing risks and how a timely diagnosis can save your life.

Know About Olivia Munn!

Born on the 3rd of July, 1980 Olivia Munn is an American actress, who has played roles in blockbuster movies like Date Night, Iron Man 2, The Predator, and many more.

She became famous after playing a three-season-long portrayal of Sloan Sabbith in Aaron Sorkins political drama The Newsroom on HBO.

Olivia was diagnosed with breast cancer last year and has had four surgeries in the last 10 months, two of which were double mastectomies.

Women who are at a very high risk of getting breast carcinoma ( those with BRCA gene mutation), go through surgery, in which both bosoms are removed at the same time, to remove the carcinogens or reduce the risks. This surgery is called a bilateral or a double mastectomy. Olivia had to go through the same painful procedure, to minimize her cancer risks.

Lying on her hospital bed, she tried to inspire the world by sharing a photo of her post-surgery, in which she revealed more about her condition and said:

She took a genetic test last year in February, which checks for 90 different cancer genes - the test score came high and the test was negative for all the genes.

After this, she had several imaging tests and a biopsy too. Later it was found out that she has breast cancer on both her breasts. She went through a double mastectomy and has had multiple surgeries to date.

Olivia kept it private for some time before disclosing it to her fans and the world, stating:

While expressing her gratitude towards her family and friends who have supported her in this battle, Olivia also thanked her partner John Mulaney for supporting her through every surgery she underwent during this difficult time.

All over the world, her fans and well-wishers have appreciated her move of awareness and support, especially women who are victims of breast cancer.

Let us wish Olivia a speedy recovery and appreciate her bravery and resilience in her battle against breast cancer. Get well soon Olivia and may the odds always be in your favor.
