Tacos are one of the greatest foods of all time. Fight me. They can be done in any manner of ways, but if you get the essentials right, they are little pockets of joy. Price ranges for tacos can vary—especially in Los Angeles. You can go to your local taco truck and get three tacos for $4 or you can go to a fancy trendy restaurant and pay $6 for one taco.
In two days, we will have finished January and entered a new month. What does that mean for you? What were your goals for January? What was your intention? Did you set any for the month? For the year? January flew by for Hungry & Fit and to be honest, we didn’t do great with our January goals, but we did alright on annual goals. Life works a little funny that way. It’s always push and pull like the tides. Just because you didn’t accomplish all 20 goals for your month (wow, might be too much?) doesn’t mean you are inherently bad. I want to guide you through a short meditation so that you can check in with yourself and be in tune with how you are and where you’re at.

Staying fit is important to your mental and physical wellbeing, no matter what your age. But, for seniors, neglecting your health and fitness can have even greater risks and consequences. Many health challenges tend to increase as we age. This can be true even if maintain a healthy lifestyle in our younger years.
According to the National Council on Aging, here are some of the scary statistics about senior health risks:
If you’re a senior, you may be able to take advantage of added benefits through a Medicare supplement plan that can help prevent health problems down the road. But, does Medicare cover gym memberships, weight loss and more?
2018 gave us movies like Black Panther, Solo: A Star Wars Movie, and Avengers: Infinity War. 2019 is no less epic and Hungry & Fit loves epic. In fact, at least for Fit, 2019 could be an even bigger year. We love movies. We are actually enrolled in AMC’s A-List program which allows three movies per week and only is around $20/month. Yeah, so if you see 1.5 movies a month, it’s worth it. And we aren’t sponsored by AMC–we just love the program. Anyhow, we love movies and we had a lot of fun creating our Top 5 Most-Anticipated Movies of 2019 list. Enjoy.
America has been stated as one of the highest problem countries among the prescription drug abuse epidemic regions by the US Department of Health and Human Services.
Anyone suffering from chronic pain knows that opiates are one of the solutions that medics prescribe. However, with the risks that come with this form of treatment, such as the risk of addiction, it is best to go for opiate alternatives. There is a wide variety of opiate alternatives out there, ranging from exercise, acupuncture, to chiropractic care. But how do you know which one to go for out of all these alternatives?

The hip flexors are a group of muscles that include the iliopsoas, as well as the rectus femoris. They work to bring the legs and trunk together, which helps you complete your ab exercises, lift your knees and bring your thighs toward your stomach. Since these movements are essential for running, it’s important to keep your hip flexors loose and limber. If you’re feeling tight around your hip area, the following stretches will improve your comfort and range of motion.
Laser hair removal leaves your skin tender and sensitive. After the procedure you may experience a burning sensation, redness, swelling, tingling, and itching, although these go away after a couple of days. That is why it is important that you take care of your skin after a hair removal procedure.
Here are four ways that you can do that.
Yesterday at the gym, in the middle of a set, a woman walked up to me and asked me if she could ask me a question… even though she already did. I nodded up and down, finished my set and took my headphones out so that I could hear her. I’ll get interrupted nearly every workout, no matter where I’m training, so it doesn’t bother me. If it did, I would use my gym at home or just ignore people. Since I designed this particular fitness center, I’m even more friendly than normal, so I decided to help her out.
Happy 2019! New year, new you, right? Great! If that’s what you want. But how are you framing it? Are you saying you want to lose x number of pounds or BMI? Are you saying you want to fit into size x? That’s all well and good, but I don’t think that’s necessarily the right way to look at it. You should never attribute your value to a number. Never ever. I love the body positivity movement that has been gaining following, but it still has a long, long way to go.
Instead of just trying to achieve a weight loss goal of thirty pounds (or whatever), why not make a resolution to change your lifestyle? I’m not saying you can’t touch a slice of pizza or bowl of ice cream again. I’m saying shifting a few things in your day-to-day life that could make a bigger impact than you might first think. I’m not going to give a direct list of what you need to do because everyone will need a different plan of action, but let me give some overall advice.
