Since the first game was invented, the number of gamers has continued to rise steadily. However, today, we have a great number of gamers, who play games, either for their career or as a hobby. But what do all those gamers have in common? They all spend a lot of time in front of their computers, Xboxes, and Play Stations. And they are all at risk of developing some of the “gamer” diseases, just because they spend a lot of time sitting and looking at the computer screens. So, if you do consider yourself a gamer, you should know the ways of staying healthy and fit.

Marijuana seems to be on everyone’s lips these days (figuratively and literally). While the focus of conversation constantly shifts, today people mostly focus on its medicinal properties, and how it can be used in the treatment of everything from cancer to anxiety. However, there’s one subject that remains largely undiscussed—can cannabis improve your fitness life? The reason behind it is that when you imagine your typical stoner, you think of someone who’s lazy and spends their entire day watching Netflix and eating cookies. That image is so outdated and prejudiced, though! Here’s a little text that might make you consider using cannabis to improve your fitness.

The previous NFL season brought us yet another Super Bowl trophy lifting by Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. It is safe to say that their franchise is one of the most successful in the League’s history, but they’re far from unbeatable. The biggest allure of the NFL is the fact that each new season is hard to predict. The Cincinnati Bengals, for instance, had a single victory in two whole seasons before 2018, but they were real competitors last year. The 2019 season will, therefore, be super interesting to watch as athletes are preparing as we speak for it. But what exactly do these preparations consist of in terms of fitness?

College and lectures themselves are tough, but when you have to think about funding all that education, you might get demotivated. Colleges are expensive, especially if they are one of those high-quality ones, but everything can become manageable and affordable. So, if you’re not a lucky child with parents who started your college fund the day you were born, there are some things to make the whole college experience more affordable.

For most people, an ideal trip includes a hotel, a plane ticket and countless cocktails by the pool. Not for me. Before I was born my parents were campers and they traveled through Europe and Asia with nothing but their tent and backpacks. Having a child didn’t change them that much, and I am so grateful for that. My childhood was filled with exciting adventures, sleeping underneath the stars, imagination, and bruises from playing outside and I wouldn’t change a thing. Today, backpacking is in my blood and I can’t wait for my vacation so I can just pack the essentials and hit the road. I’ve spent years polishing my packing list and learning which things should be left at home. When you are traveling the last thing you want is to be slowed down by your luggage, and believe me, most things you think you cannot live without will just weigh you down. On the other hand, regardless of whether you will be staying in a hotel or sleeping in a tent, there are several things that need to find their place in your backpack or you will find yourself in a bit of a pickle. So, without further ado, here is a list of things I always carry with me when I am on the road.

Have you become a slave to technology? Do you spend more time staring at your phone, or a computer than looking at a clear blue sky? Do days go by without you even leaving your home? If you are looking for a way to reconnect with nature, and get back to your roots, hiking is a perfect solution. Not only will you get an excellent workout, but you will also instantly feel calmer and less anxious. Hiking is nothing like walking around the city, and is oftentimes unpredictable. Therefore, make sure you are prepared for any kind of situation, so you don’t get caught off guard. Whether you decide to go deep into the mountains, or stay somewhere close to your house, these guidelines will help you have a pleasant experience.
