5 Ways to Reach (and Maintain!) a Healthy Weight

1 Exercise. Regular physical activity burns calories and builds muscle - both of which help you look and feel good and keep weight off. Walking the family dog, cycling to school, and doing other things that increase your daily level of activity can all make a difference. If you want to burn more calories, increase the intensity of your workout and add some strength exercises to build muscle. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn, even when you are not exercising.

2 Reduce screen time. One reason people get less exercise these days is because of an increase in "screen time" - the amount of time spent watching TV, looking at the computer, using mobile devices, or playing video games. Limit recreational screen time to less than 2 hours per day. If you're with friends at the mall, you're getting more exercise than if you're texting them from your room.

3Watch out for portion distortion. Portion sizes are bigger than they used to be, and these extra calories contribute to obesity. Another key factor in weight gain is that more people drink sugary beverages, such as sodas, juice drinks, and sports drinks. So choose smaller portions (or share restaurant portions) and go for water or low-fat milk instead of soda.

4 Eat 5 servings of fruits and veggies a day. Fruits and veggies are about more than just vitamins and minerals. They're also packed with fiber, which means they fill you up. And when you fill up on fruits and veggies, you're less likely to overeat.

5 Do not skip breakfast. Breakfast kick-starts your metabolism, burning calories from the get-go and giving you energy to do more during the day. People who skip breakfast often feel so hungry that they eat more later on. So they get more calories than they would have if they ate breakfast. In fact, people who skip breakfast tend to have higher BMIs than people who eat breakfast.

How to Maintain Your Health

How to Maintain Your Health

Health is something that is easy to take for granted. When we start losing it, it's hard to believe we spent so long not valuing it. To ensure that you stay as healthy as possible, we've outlined a guide that should help you do just that - detailing your physical, mental, and emotional health. Why would you want to live any other way?

      part 1 /  Having a Healthy Diet

1 Emphasize fruits and veggies. A healthy diet is one that's full of vitamins, nutrients, and color (well, in addition to being balanced). And the easiest way to do this is through piling on the fruits and veggies. They're nutrient dense but not calorically dense - meaning you can eat bunches and bunches without destroying your waistline and it's good for you. And, of course, the fresher the better!

Most all fruits and veggies are good for you, but some are better for you than others, arguably. If you really want to zero in on mother nature's power, you'll add kale, spinach, carrots, celery, cranberries, blueberries, and pineapple to next week's grocery cart. [1] That's every color of the rainbow, too!

2 Add in lean meats, low-fat dairy products, and whole grains. As good as fruits and veggies are, you need some other stuff in their to mix it up and stay balanced. When you go for meat, milks and cheeses, and pasta, make sure you choose lean meats, low-fat dairy, and whole grain pasta. That generally translates to white meat (without skin), low-fat or non-fat milk, cheese, and yogurt and brown pasta, quinoa, and oats.

When it comes to grains, the browner the better. White grains should not really be in your diet. If it's white, it's been processed and all the nutrients have been taken out. Then it's just empty carbs.

3 Cut out processed junk. If it's in a package, odds are it's not super good for you. And if it's in a package that does not go old for years, that goes double. Turns out the FDA does not even regulate all the stuff that goes into them and your body does not regulate the additives, either! They're not even recognized as food-like things. Your body just stores them away, not knowing what to do with them. Gross.

The FDA does not regulate all labels, either. Words and phrases like "all natural," "free-range," "additive free," and "pure" are just claims companies can make without retribution. [2] So if you're buying something packaged that makes a claim that seems unfeasible ... it's possible it is.

4 Drink up the H2O. If you're looking for a miracle on Earth, water is the closest you'll probably get. Stay hydrated and just about every part of you will stay healthy - your skin, your hair and nails, your organs, and even your mind. And you can lose weight, too! Studies show that you could lose 5 lbs in a year by just upping your water intake around a liter a day.

Part of the reason behind the weight loss is that drinking water keeps you full, but drinking cold water also ups your metabolism. In fact, drinking cold water (17 ounces, to be precise) can up your metabolism by up to 30% for 10-40 minutes. So get icy with your workout and you could burn even more calories.

5 Cook - the right way. Since you're cutting out all that processed gunk, you inevitably will find yourself in the kitchen more, finally putting your passive Food Network viewership to good use. Cooking is great for your budget, your skills, and your waistline, but here's a couple things to keep in mind:

If you can, go as raw as possible. Frozen and canned veggies are all okay, but raw is so much better. None of the nutrients has been taken out in the processing.

Use the right kind of oils, like olive or safflower. They're full of the good kinds of fat. Do the same with cheeses, butters, and spreads - try to find a lighter version of their full-fat counterpart.

Avoid frying and battering your foods. Chicken is good for you, but not if it's covered in bread crumbs, fried in fatty oil, and doused in sugary condiments.

Do not salt your foods! The American Heart Association recommends keeping salt intake at under 1,500 mg a day. That sounds doable until you realize that a teaspoon is 2,300 mg. [3] Oof.

part 2 / Having a Healthy Lifestyle

1 Exercise. There is no way around it: having a sedentary lifestyle is just about the best way to drive your body into the ground. You have to stay active in order to stay healthy. If you do not use your brain, you lose it - and same goes with your muscles! So whether you want to run 5ks for breakfast or you just walk the dog every night, do something. Your body craves it.

The CDC recommends 150 minutes a week of moderate physical activity, including some cardio and some strength-building activities. [4] That's 2 and a half hours, by the way. 2.5 hours out of 168. That's reasonable, right? And the more vigorous your exercise, the less you need.

If you're overweight or obese, the only way you do not know that losing weight is in your best interest is if you've been living under a rock that does not get wifi. Even losing 10 pounds can make significant improvements to your health.

2 Moderate your alcohol intake. And by that, we mean 1 drink a day for women and 2 for men. [5] And no, that does not mean 7 in one day of the week; you can not bank 'em, saving them for later. 1 or 2 drinks a day keeps you healthy and, you know, not making stupid decisions. Be winning!

And by "drink" we mean 1 12-ounce can of beer or 4 ounces of wine or one ounce of hard liquor. And if the drink is not super sugary, even better.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ review

design-screen and audio

Update: Less than a month after launch Samsung has dropped the price of the S6 Edge+ to less than £600/$600(or around £40 per month). That's a significant price drop and makes it a far more attractive proposition for those wanting a large-screened phone, or phablet.

WHAT IS THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 EDGE+

Samsung has made a bold statement with its Galaxy S6 range of smartphones. Plastic painted as metal and faux leather backs have been consigned to Room 101 and Samsung has finally put style and design at the core of its smartphone offering.

The Galaxy S6 Edge+ is born of that new philosophy. That’s not to say it’s all about style. For the eye-watering price of £749/$768 contract-free we would hope not.

Just like the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge the 5.7-inch phone is a solid all-rounder and needs to be considering its key competitor, the iPhone 6 Plus.

The Edge+ is also the big-screen phone European Samsung fans will have to live with in lieu of the Galaxy Note 5 – Samsung has no plans to sell the Note 5 outside of Asia and the US at the moment.

GALAXY S6 EDGE+ DESIGN – THE BEST LOOKING PHONE EVER LOOKS EVEN BETTER

154.4 x 75.8 x 6.9 mm, 153g, Aluminium 7000 frame, Gorilla Glass 4

The Galaxy S6 Edge+ makes you feel like disappearing down an underground cavern while keeping a close eye out for tricksy hobbitses. It is precious. It is achingly desirable. It is futuristic. Slap it down on any beer stained pub table and it will make every other phone look old school.

The main allure comes, of course, from the unique, curved dual-edge display. There’s nothing else like it, apart from its smaller sibling the S6 Edge. It’s streets ahead of the Note 5 and iPhone 6 Plus when it comes to sex appeal.

An aluminium alloy frame is sandwiched between the tough Gorilla Glass 4 screen and back. It’s an upgraded version of the metal on Samsung’s previous phones and should help it avoid the (in our experience unfounded) Bendgate furore caused when the latest iPhones were released.

One thing it hasn’t managed to resolve is quite how easily the rear glass attracts greasy fingerprints. It’s a problem the S6 and S6 Edge also suffers from and it’s not too bad on the Sapphire Black version we’re testing here. Opt for the new silver coloured Edge+, though, and be prepared to regularly look like a cricketer getting ready to bowl.

Samsung has finessed the S6 Edge+ in some ways. The frame now has a fine tapered edge along the top and bottom and the curved screen seems to fit a little closer around the corners than it does on the smaller S6 Edge.

Not only is the Galaxy S6 Edge+ a stunner, it’s also brilliantly crafted.

Looks aren’t the be-all and end-all of design – ease of use is also key. The Edge+ doesn’t excel here.

For a start it’s a big phone, and that comes with its own set of challenges. Using a phone with a 5.7-inch screen is tricky to do one-handed, particularly when trying to reach the top corners. Your other hand will need to get involved sooner or later.

It’s an issue compounded by the curved screen. Yes it’s great to look at but you will, sometimes, find yourself wishing you had a little more frame to grasp. The bottom of your thumb can also interfere with the screen when stretching to tap an awkwardly positioned icon.

GALAXY S6 EDGE+ – CAMERA

16-megapixel sensor, f/1.9 rear camera with optical image stabilisation; 5-megapixel, f/1.9 front camera; 5 minutes of 4K video; 60fps 1080p video; Video stabilisation

The S6 Edge+ has the same camera as the S6, S6 Edge and Note 5 and that’s no bad thing. It is one of the best cameras you can get on a smartphone – perhaps only the LG G4 edges it in a head-to-head.

One of the best things about it is Samsung’s camera app, which opens quickly and lets you capture the moment with a minimum of fuss. This is exactly what the iPhone 6 Plus excels at and the S6 Edge+ is almost as good at capturing high-quality photos without spending ages tinkering.

Focusing and shooting is incredibly fast, even in HDR mode – this takes several photos in quick succession and merges them into a better image. It’s exactly what you want from a pocket camera.

If you do like to get a bit more hands on with your photos then you can go into Pro mode. This lets you change a huge range of settings from focus to white balance and ISO.

We find it’s not quite as easy to use as the manual settings on the LG G4, but it’s not far off.

Of course, the app also lets you add a range of filters for all the instagrammers out there. The S6 Edge+ also has an effective Bokeh app, called Selective Focus. Another nifty feature worth mentioning is Virtual Shot. This is like panorama in reverse. Select an object and rotate the camera round it and you get a little 360 degree video of it.

samsung galaxy note 5 revyo

Introduction

The Samsung Galaxy Note5 is the latest in the line that introduced us to the concept of a phablet in the first place. Following the Galaxy S-line's adoption of glass and metal, Samsung's taken the premium build to the Note series.

All is not great, and productivity features have been scrapped, just like the in the mainstream lineup - the Note no longer offers replaceable battery and microSD expansion. The S-Pen is still here though, and big-screen lovers will appreciate the beautiful AMOLED display, multi-window or otherwise.

Design and build quality

The Galaxy Note5 may have kept the screen size of the Note 4, but Samsung engineers have managed to fit it in a smaller body. Most impressive is the reduction in width - 2.5mm may not sound like much, but the side bezels are as thin as they come.

The Samsung Galaxy Note5 is the first generation Note to come after Samsung parted with plastic as the main body material. The phablet adopts the overall design of the S6, but thanks to size and a few minor tweaks it's a Note through and through.Build quality is simply superb. The innards are sandwiched between two Gorilla Glass 4 panels and an aluminum frame runs along the sides, creating a truly premium look and feel, befitting a flagship. Fingerprints are inevitable though, and glass does shatter more easily than plastic, so perhaps you should invest in some sort of protection.

A major downside to the new design is that the battery is now sealed, which may put off those used to swapping batteries. You don't get microSD storage expansion and the IR emitter is gone as well - all changes familiar from the Galaxy S6.

The S-Pen has gotten a brand new design too - it now requires a click on the top to extract it from its silo. The click serves no other function though, and we feel like it should have.

The fingerprint sensor is the improved type from the S6, meaning it doesn't require swiping, but works just by tapping. It's fast and reliable, but isn't always on, you have to wake the screen up first. It does enable Samsung Pay, if you're in the regions where the service is supported.

Display

The Samsung Galaxy Note5 comes with a 5.7-inch AMOLED display, with a 1,440 x 2,560 pixels resolution. That comes down to 518ppi, far past the point where individual pixels can be seen with the naked eye.

An inherent property of the display technology is the infinite contrast - a result of black pixels not being lit up at all. Maximum brightness in regular surroundings is a little over average for AMOLED panels, but when you set it to Auto and expose the phone to bright light, it pushes it a lot higher, and easily into LCD territory.

Sunlight legibility benefits from the infinite contrast and low reflectivity, which coupled with the boost in brightness makes the Galaxy Note5 among the best performers in direct sunlight.

Color accuracy was a problem with initial AMOLED displays, but that's no longer the case. There are several settings, and Basic gets you possibly the most accurate color reproduction we've seen with a DeltaE of 1.1 (the threshold to call a display calibrated being 4.0). The other modes bring about minor drops in accuracy, to the benefit of more punchy output.

Battery life

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 comes with a 3,000mAh battery capacity, a downgrade from the previous generation's 3,220mAh, and the fact that it's now non-removable is another red flag.

The reality is, however, that Samsung's latest phablet is a frugal spender and lasts nearly as long as the Note 4. Virtually identical numbers in 3G call times and web browsing, but 4 hours less in video playback mean the Note5 scores an 85h endurance rating in our test - 5 hours shorter than the model it replaces.

The endurance rating is an estimation of how long the phone would last if you use it for an hour each of calling, browsing and video playback a day. Such usage pattern may not be relevant to your own usage scenario, but we've established it so our battery results are comparable across devices. You can adjust the formula to better match your own usage pattern, by visiting our dedicated battery test results page.

The Note5 comes with fast charging capabilities - flat to 100% takes about 90 minutes, and there's also fast wireless charging tech built-in, which tops it up in 2 hours. The charging speed is almost enough to make up for not being able to pop in a fresh battery. When you're in a pinch, a two-tiered power-saving mode can help by turning off less essential features.

Photo camera

Imaging on the Galaxy Note5 is handled by a 16MP primary camera with a Sony IMX240 sensor behind an f/1.9 lens - a setup borrowed from the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge released a few months back. It also has optical image stabilization and an LED flash to assist in the dark.

Double-press on the Home button to launch the camera works here too, and once you're in the app, it's the familiar simple interface with shortcuts to basic functions. If you want more control, you can launch the Pro mode, which gives you access to manual exposure settings. RAW capture is available too.

Image quality is exemplary. Photos are sharp and detailed, colors are rendered nicely and dynamic range is a chart-topper. Low-light photos add up to the great impression, too.

Up front you get a 5MP selfie shooter coupled with an f/1.9 lens too, but more importantly, it has a wide 120-degree field of view helping for group selfies. The rear-mounted heart rate sensor can be used as a shutter release button, which comes in handy.
