Best yeast-free flatbread instead of bread – bake cakes on kefir in the oven

Today, at your request, I will show you the simplest recipe for unleavened flatbread dough made from kefir or any other fermented milk product, be it fermented baked milk, matsuri, yogurt, or yogurt. Flatbreads made with this dough can be baked in the oven and fried either in a dry frying pan or in oil.

It contains only 4 ingredients – flour, kefir, salt, and soda. By the way, the same dough makes quick soft pies

STA-004 Staying Active Surfing Reblog Chains

If you ever come across a reblog like this on your dash, consider yourself lucky.

This is a reblog chain. Reblog chains start with the original post, then extend with reblogs and comments. Surfing a reblog chain means clicking the blogs in the trail one by one.

Surfing long reblog chains can lead to interesting discoveries. They can either be a time machine with  predictions from blogs in the past that came true. Or an inside joke with thousands of people. Eitherway, they’re a great jumping off point for finding next content.

👟

We all know 'em, but it doesn't hurt to remind ourselves.

- self care can be dancing and singing to a song in your car - connection can be mailing a letter - staying active can be playing with your child or pet - mindfulness can be taking a deep breath - a balanced diet can be cheetos as a treat one day and a "healthy" meal the next

No need to put undue pressure on ourselves. Congratulate where you are at this very moment.

Staying Active And Healthy As A Remote Working Parent: Exercise Tips, Healthy Eating Habits, And Maintaining A Work-Life Balance

Saturday’s Hike. I met this great group and one of them is a doctor too…all the way from China!

Mobility Is Not Just About Stretching

Mobility Is Not Just About Stretching - Moving shouldn’t around hurt, at least not always. If you have what is considered a normal range of motion, you should be able to stand up, squat, walk, bend down, and reach over your head without any real effort or pain—and without having to warm up (LOL, sorry that made me giggle – reminded me of a scene from Zombie Land). Kelly Starrett is a Doctor of Physical Therapy co-author of the best-selling movement book, Becoming a Supple Leopard, and the founder of The Ready State, an online movement coaching service and gym in San Francisco. Starrett emphasizes the importance of movement and mobility to avoid pain and stiffness in the body. He discourages traditional static stretching and being “bendy” and instead prefers to talk about things in terms of mobility and mobilizing. He emphasizes that the body is “robust, tolerant, and anti-fragile,” and that the resting state of the human being is pain-free. However, the body has a “use-it-or-lose-it” policy. For example, if someone sits at a desk for hours each day, their hip flexors, hamstrings, and joints will stiffen, potentially leading to back or knee pain and trouble walking. Starrett explains that if someone doesn’t use their body in specific ways, they can lose the ability to do so. Too much typing or other computer use can impact the entire upper body.

Mobility Is Not Just About Stretching

Starrett breaks down the normal human range of motion into seven basic shapes: four shoulder shapes (arms straight overhead, straight out in front, tucked by the side of your body as if you’re about to do a press up, and by the side of your body with your elbows pulled high), and three hip shapes (a deep squat, a deep lunge, and a deep pistol squat). Every human movement is performed using some combination of these upper and lower body shapes.

Mobility Is Not Just About Stretching

If someone is struggling with everyday movements, these shapes should be considered pointers to the things that need work. If reaching overhead isn’t comfortable, they should spend time working on their shoulders. If they can’t reach down to the floor, they can target their hamstrings. When someone’s lower back or hips feel tight, the best thing they can do is spend ten minutes doing a couch stretch on each leg while watching TV.

This is NOT a couch stretch....

...more like THIS woman stretching while watching TV. Starrett believes that the body should be able to do the things someone wants it to do when they want to do them, whatever they happen to be. People shouldn’t have to warm up for two hours to go to the gym or play with their kids.

Pain Is Information

"Doctor, doctor, it hurts when I do this", Doctor: "Well, STOP doing that!" One of the most important things to know is that the body is fully interconnected. If someone has back pain, the problem might be in their back, but it could also be above or below. The back is a system that’s connected to the hips, so if someone is talking about back pain but not talking about how their hips move, they’re not actually talking about the back, they’re talking about 50% of the system. You remember the old children's song, The hip bone's connected to the back bone The back bone's connected to the neck bone, The neck bone's connected to the head bone, Now shake dem skeleton bones! ANYway.... The same is true for a lot of other problem areas. If someone’s neck is stiff, they also need to look at their shoulders, upper back, and ribs. If they’re having issues when they bend their knee, the problem could be in their calf or thigh muscles. People should not focus on one area but instead work everything around it. Pain is the body’s way of telling someone that something is up. The sensation can come from an injury or physical impairment, but it can also result from tissue stiffness, not moving enough, or sitting weirdly. People shouldn’t be walking around sore every day. Working in an office shouldn’t leave someone hurting. If it does, it’s a sign that they need to address something. They should locate the problem, figure out what system it’s a part of, and find an exercise that will help. People don’t need to leave home and dedicate their lives to yoga to start working on mobility. They can incorporate these movements into their everyday life. Starrett advises to stand up every 20 minutes if someone is sitting for a long period of time. They can do a couch stretch while watching TV. They can squat down when picking something up off the floor. That means simply moving more. “We suggest 10,000 steps as the first level, but some day you’ll only get 6,000 and some days you’ll get 15,000.” Just moving and using your body more, rather than staying seated at a desk or in front of a TV, is enough to mitigate a huge number of problems. If you aren’t getting up and wandering around every so often, start doing it now. Starrett also recommends people mobilize for 10 minutes before bed. This can be as simple as getting down in a deep squat or lying on your back and stretching out, or you can take a more active approach and use a tool like a lacrosse ball or foam roller to work over any areas that are giving you trouble. Your muscles shouldn’t hurt when you press down on them or stretch them out, and you should be able to breathe comfortably while you work on things, Starrett explains. If you’re lying on a foam roller and you’re in agony, stop—you’re doing something wrong.

Find What Works for You

Starrett is a big ole strong guy. He’s a former elite athlete, runs a CrossFit gym, and throws around heavy weights. If you’re a bit of a meathead, like me (I am a Giverik or a Kettlebeller, BIG bells), his approach might work well for you. But if you find Starrett’s stuff a bit too intense, you can also check out Jill Miller’s Tune Up fitness and Sue Hitzmann’s MELT Method. Both are pretty 'mild' and a great way to increase mobility or maintain your current state of good mobility. Or just go your own way entirely. It’s your body—do what works for you. Steve Maxwell, my fitness guru, often expresses that we need to create our own workouts and fitness routines. Not everyone can, or should, do the same thing.

You’re Not Trying to Win

Moving well and without pain isn’t a game you can win. At no point can you just declare victory and say you’re done; that your knee is totally fixed and you’ll be able to hop, skip, and jump into your 90s. Modern life is always going to throw you curve-balls and you’ll need to adapt. “You’ve just got to continue to play better and feel better,” says Starrett. “This is an infinite game.” How you play is up to you.

No running this week, I didn’t get up early enough to get out before work yesterday. Swimming in the afternoon with the kids so couldn’t get out after work, rugby coaching this morning. Weekly shop afterwards. Should really have got out but just not got the motivation! Busy week ahead, I’ll try to get out for a run post work again Tuesday. This week I will go rugby training after crying off last minute this week. I have couple of hospital appointments to hopefully close the whole, possible heart issue, situation & then it is just sorting me head out & trying to get a bit positive. #nonrunningpost #nonrunningweekend #keepingbusy #itsokaynottobeokay #stayingactive (at Poole, Dorset) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoAgEFdL1o3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Winter Solstice!❄️ On this first day of winter we are reminded that life moves forward in cycles, seasons and phases. Even on the darkest of days, we should remember the lighter days are on their way.

For me, just because it’s cold out doesn’t mean I can’t stay active! After all, being active makes us feel good!Today, I’m shoveling snow just like I did as a kid growing up in Washington. What’s your favorite winter-activity to stay active?

STA-003 Staying Active Using Queue

An easy way to keep your blog active is to use a queue. Queue automatically publishes a set number of posts throughout the day or week. Unlike scheduling, you don’t have to manually pick a time on each post.

Queue is especially helpful for reblog tumblrs. Spamming reblogs all at once limits who sees your content. It also gives you more time to browse and reblog. Here’s how to set up and add your posts to a queue.

Desktop

Click the Reblog button

Click the drop down arrow next to “Reblog”

Select “Add to queue”

Mobile

Tap the Rebiog button

Tap the three dots at the top of the post next to “Reblog”

Tap “Queue”

You can also long press on the reblog button to see more options.

Slide down to the “Queue” icon.

Been taking more walks and playing #PokemonGO again lately. 😊 We found this on one of our walks (but couldn’t find any IRL Pokemon to catch with it… 😥) Do any of you still play? Which team do you represent? ❤️💙💛 #pokemon #stayingactive #randomencounters https://www.instagram.com/p/CT3NTQTpG5G/?utm_medium=tumblr

Tips for Staying Active and Healthy While Working Remotely

~ Quarantine Challenge ~

Thursday ⎥26 March 2020

✨ How are you keeping active? ✨

My favourite thing to do these days is going for a walk with my dog! It's now part of my daily routine and it also gives me a reason to go outside for a bit. But I also like going for a run or doing a workout at home. I try to work out 4-5 days a week, and combine those with an online ballet class. 🩰

I have been doing ballet for years, so to have those online classes, it’s such a great way not to sit still. So many professional dancers are streaming their daily stretch and exercise routines and are giving ballet classes on instagram. I love how everyone is supporting and helping each other in the ballet community!

It is so important to stay active right now. Enjoy the outdoors, go for a walk, a run, a bike ride, do a workout in your garden. Get away from your desk, go outside and get some fresh air! 🌤

Studyblr Quarantine Challenge-Day 4

Thursday, March 26th– How are you keeping active?

Well, I definitely could be better at keeping active, I am ashamed to say. This last week since starting classes, it feels as though I have been so busy trying to do work and organize what exactly I’m supposed to do all the while still attending classes and submit assignments in on-time (like today I thought I was turning something in late, full-on apologizing to my prof as I turned it in and luckily her saying that the deadline was actually pushed). But what I have done in the past and will hopefully do in the coming weeks is exercise for about an hour everyday, switching off between yoga and a run/walk. I’m kind of like a 7-year old, I need constant reminding to do things I need to do haha
