June 14, 2021July 17, 2021Tasos-FitnessHealth

As you age, cataracts can become a genuine reality. It’s a scary thought, but cataract eye surgery may be one of the only ways to combat this life-altering problem. Going under the knife can be nerve-wracking, which is why many people may wait until their cataracts are severe until they take action.

It may surprise you to learn that while improving your eyesight is one benefit of this surgery; there are actually several more.

Improved Confidence

As your eyesight declines, you may not feel as confident in your daily activities as you used to. You may feel embarrassed about being in public situations in case you accidentally ignore a friend who’s trying to grab your attention.

3 Improvements To Your Personal Fitness Website That Can Improve Its Ranking

May 3, 2021June 2, 2021Tasos-FitnessFitness, Marketing

A misconception that many business owners have, including those in the personal fitness arena, is that to improve their website’s rankings, all the SEO activity takes place elsewhere and on other websites. Whilst off-page SEO is important, the advice from SEO specialists at www.seoperthexperts.com.au is that there are some key improvements you can make on your website that can boost your SEO and subsequently your Google ranking.

This can mean making changes in the back office/management area of your website and if you get this wrong it can crash your site. For that reason, unless you have sound knowledge of coding and website structure, we strongly advise you to seek the help of an SEO agency. They have experts who are vastly experienced with respect to website programming and SEO and can make any of the improvements below without any risk of your website’s operation being compromised.

Improvement #1: Functionality

Functionality is a term we use to describe how your website actually performs with respect to how visitors experience the site. This will include how long the website first takes to load, if all the hyperlinks work, do audio and video play correctly, do the images appear as they should, and does each page open quickly.

These are but a few of the many examples of where a user’s experience is influenced by how the coding and programming of your website operates. For SEO, it is important that a user’s experience is positive as it means they will stay and do so for longer. Google can measure this and so one of the first improvements should be to check, and if necessary, fix how well your website functions.

De Facto Relationships and How Divorce Law Applies to Them

April 18, 2021May 8, 2021Tasos-FitnessRelationships

De facto relationships is one in which two people who are not legally married to one another act as if they are indeed married, and it is relationship which has specific laws which apply to it if that couple separate and this is why family lawyers who specialise in divorce play an important role part in the separation of de facto couples.

What Is A De Facto Relationship?

In Australia a de facto relationship, especially, is when two people live together and behave like a married couple despite not being legally married to one another. These two people can be either opposite or same-sex and can live together on a “genuine domestic basis.”

If, in fact, two partners are living on a “genuine domestic basis” and perceived as a de facto couple, then if their separation becomes a matter for the court it may look into information such as:

The duration of a relationship
The existence of a sexual relationship
Common residence nature an extent
A property’s ownership, acquisition, and use
The extent of financial interdependence or dependence and financial support arrangements
To see whether a relationship is or had been registered under a state/territory’s prescribed law
Caring and supporting children to the couple’s relationship
The extent of the intended party’s’ mutual commitment to a shared life
The relationship’s public aspects and reputation

Fun Facts About Sports That Use Nets

March 30, 2021April 6, 2021Tasos-FitnessFitness

With ever week that passes, there seems to be some new sport or a variation of a current sport that often beggars believe in terms of how it is played, but for most sports enthusiasts the traditional sports are still their favourites. For many of those sports, a sports net of some kind is necessary to play the sport, and these come in all shapes and sizes.

Whilst you may know a lot about these sports as they are played in their current form today, but have you ever wondered how they actually got started or been puzzled by some of their idiosyncrasies? If so here are some fun facts about popular sports that use sports nets.

Football/Soccer – A Sport With Multiple Names

In most parts of the world, ‘Association Football’ is simply called football, but in others which have their own forms of football, such as the USA, it is called soccer. In Australia, the jury is out with a split between football and soccer, given that we have Aussie rules football here.

In the UK, there is a great annoyance when they hear Americans use the word football to describe the sport where the objective is not hitting the ball in the back of the net, but a touchdown, and so many fans simply refuse to call football, ‘soccer’. The irony is that the word soccer was actually first used in the UK in the 1800s to differentiate the different forms of football including rugby football which was given the name ‘rugger’.

February 15, 2021February 16, 2021Tasos-FitnessMarketing

If you are the owner or the manager of a gym and have come to the conclusion that your website is failing to attract more members via the internet, then the time has certainly come for a new website design for your gym. According to professional web design outfit www.slinkywebdesign.com.au making that decision is the easy part, as what needs a lot more time and attention is determining what sort of website design for your gym is best.

Unless you are a skilled website designer yourself, we suggest you hire the services of a professional website designer or agency, but that does not mean that you cannot have any input. In fact, it is essential that have some input, so here are some ideas you should seek to include in any design for your gym’s website.

Determine Who Your Target Audience Is

We know gyms each have their own target audience for membership with some geared towards just bodybuilding, some open to all ages, some gyms will be large and offer a vast array of fitness services, and so on. Whichever sub-niche your gym falls into, this should identify for you the age, sex, fitness levels, and specific activities, for example, that your target audience is within, and your website design should reflex that.

Ensure Your Design Is Mobile Friendly and Intuitive

Lots of people literally live on their mobile devices and this is likely for most of those you are targeting. Elements that your web design should have will be easy navigation, integration with social media, a search function, and the ability to make easy payment in order to subscribe to a gym membership. These should all be available on PCs accessing your website, and definitely for mobile devices too.

Why Dental Implants Are Skyrocketing in Popularity

September 22, 2020September 30, 2020Tasos-FitnessFitness

You will be hard-pressed to find anyone who hasn’t at least heard the term ‘dental implants’. Dentists have been talking about them and offering them for years, and patients have been reaping the rewards for equally as long. But for those who are not yet familiar with them, what’s all the fuss about? Why are dental implants skyrocketing in popularity? Here’s why.

They Look and Feel Natural

The process of getting dental implants involves inserting posts into the jawbone, with an artificial tooth added to the top to become your natural tooth. Because it’s secured in place permanently, it looks and feels as natural as your own tooth. For many people, that natural look is quite important and is a far more preferred option than dentures, which can slip and move around in your mouth.

The Success Rate is High

There are many ways to fix teeth. Your dentist should offer fillings, braces, whitening services, and all manner of options for people to sustain their pearly whites for as long as possible.

But for those who are looking for a sure-fire way to improve the appearance of their teeth for a long time, dental implants are the clear winner. As far as restorations go, they can last a considerable number of years with the right care and maintenance.

Food to Boost Your Estrogen Levels

January 18, 2020February 5, 2020Tasos-FitnessHealth

Everyone knows that they should be eating well to benefit their overall health, but what about nutrition for particular problems or concerns? Everything from skin health to energy levels can be improved and affected by what you eat, so why should estrogen levels be any different?

Estrogen is responsible for many processes in a woman’s body. It helps her breast tissue function, her pituitary gland, and even her uterus. Estrogen is also paramount for metabolism and sexual health. Not enough of this hormone, and you can put your body at risk of health complications such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, and osteoporosis.

Whether your estrogen levels are low due to genetics, age, or poor nutrition, here are a few foods you can try to work on your levels.

Soy Products

If your estrogen levels are lacking, then how about including more soy products in your diet? Soy contains isoflavones, which can help to increase your estrogen. Soy products are abundant in most supermarkets. You can buy soy milk, yoghurt, or even tofu, which is made with soy milk.

Best Food to Eat Before You Exercise

September 18, 2019October 23, 2019Tasos-FitnessFitness, Health

For many people, the most convenient time to exercise is in the morning. You have no commitments, the day is yet to begin, and all you have to do is get out of bed a tiny bit earlier than you usually would. However, exercise, your health, and eating well go hand in hand if you want the best chance of a beneficial workout.

Even if food is the last thing on your mind when you launch yourself out of bed at the crack of dawn, it can be the boost you require for a workout that sets you up for the rest of the day. What’s more, carbohydrates such as sweet potato, vegetables, and oatmeal give you better access to your blood glucose which your muscles require for your workout.

Stay away from the simple sugars in the morning, but here are a few breakfast must-haves to benefit your health and improve your morning workout.

Avocados

Avocados appear on many lists for eating well, and there’s a reason for it. They are packed full of all those essentials your body needs to hit the ground running. From Omega 3 to potassium, fibre to protein, this delicious fruit has it all. What’s more, it can be enough to offer an energy boost pre-exercise in the morning, while also possibly having the potential to lower your cholesterol levels.

Common Dental Crown Materials and Their Benefits

May 17, 2019April 8, 2020Tasos-FitnessHealth

If it has been some time since you saw your dentist, and you haven’t taken care of your teeth, then you may be in for some surprises. While cleaning, fillings, root canals and extractions can be popular treatment methods, crowns are another one with many different benefits. If your dentist has recommended a crown, but you’re not sure what that entails, then read on.

What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a cap that your dentist cements onto your tooth. Once it’s in place, only a dentist can remove it. A crown’s role is to cover a damaged tooth, strengthen it, improve your tooth alignment, and make it look better than it did before.

A dental crown can be quite a complex procedure, so your dentist may recommend a temporary one while they create a more permanent one to put in its place.

What Types of Dental Crowns Can You Get?

Everyone’s mouth is different, so the selection of dental crowns is as well. There are four primary types your dentist might recommend. Ceramic is the more popular option for restoring your front teeth. They are of a porcelain-type material and blend in with the natural colours of your tooth.

Top Tips for Denture Care

April 4, 2019July 14, 2020Tasos-FitnessHealth

Over 40 percent of Australians over 65 have dentures. Age, wear and tear, and poor oral hygiene can see the need for dentures to replace lost or damaged teeth. Once you have them, that doesn’t mean you no longer have to care for them. Your natural teeth may be gone, but that’s not the end of your brushing routine. Below, we cover some dentist tips and advice on how to care for your dentures.

Stay on Top of Dental Treatment

You may not need to worry about cavities with dentures, but that doesn’t mean they don’t fall victim to some of the same problems as your natural teeth. Toothpaste can be abrasive, which means small scratches can form on your dentures. Once that happens, they can be susceptible to stains, and wear and tear. Always follow a strict oral care regime, but see your dentist regularly as well.

Your dentist will inform you on how often you will need to see them for professional cleans and to help achieve a proper fit. If you find your dentures are loose or uncomfortable, seek dental care immediately.

Clean Them Thoroughly

Dentures require the same level of care as your natural teeth – and even more so in some cases. Make sure you remove and rinse them after you eat food. Run them under water and handle them with care. Use a soft-bristled brush and a non-abrasive denture cleaner. Do not use the cleaning solution inside your mouth. Once you finish with a denture cleaner, rinse the dentures thoroughly before putting them in your mouth.

Why You Shouldn’t Skimp on Wedding Gifts

February 11, 2019February 11, 2019Tasos-FitnessFitness

A scroll through social media would be all it takes to see the fallout from substandard bridesmaids gifts. Relationships have been ruined, bridesmaids have been left confused, and the bride and groom have been left red-faced. If you’re one of the several Australian couples who, according to the Bride to Be magazine, spent upwards of $60,000 on their wedding, then make sure some of that is left over for bridesmaids gifts such as bridesmaid robes. Here’s why.

You Chose Them for a Reason

Of course, it’s going to be an honour for any of your close friends to be chosen as your bridesmaids, but there is a reason you chose them. You trust them, they mean a lot to you, and you wouldn’t want anyone else to be by your side during the process. However, while a wedding is stressful for you as the bride and groom, it’s also exceptionally stressful for the bridal party. They want everything to go smoothly as well, and a lot of the logistical planning is left up to them. It’s important to remember that you chose this role for them, not the other way around.

There’s no denying that your bridesmaids love being a part of your special day, but you can make them feel like you appreciate them by giving them bridesmaids gifts that suit their effort – especially if the wedding is a lavish affair.

Advice When Buying Jewellery

December 17, 2018March 11, 2019Tasos-FitnessWeddings

If you’re heading to a jewellery store to pick out something for your nearest and dearest, then you’re bound to be feeling a little nervous. After all, whatever you’re planning on buying can be a significant investment. What’s more, it can be a special time if you’re declaring your love, planning a surprise, or decide to turn your partner into your fiancé.

Jewellery Perth advises that before you step foot in the shop, however, it’s helpful to have a game plan. Here are five things you shouldn’t do in a jewellery store.

Shop Without Advice

You may have browsed the internet to get a fair idea of what you like, but when it comes down to it, you’re not a jewellery expert. Fortunately, you will have several at your disposal! Talk to the store assistant about the occasion, your loved one, their likes and dislikes, and your budget. Having expert help on-hand can help to eliminate options that don’t suit, reducing the chance of you becoming overwhelmed and leaving empty-handed.

Forget to Ask About Certification and Return Policies

If you plan on spending quite a significant sum of money, then you want to be able to protect yourself. Don’t leave a jewellery store with your purchase without first asking about certification options and return policies. Make sure you have the value and details of the purchase in written form for insurance purposes. And, if it turns out the gift is not suitable, it’s helpful if you can return it or have options surrounding returns. (more…)

Massaging for Radiant Skin

September 20, 2018November 29, 2018Tasos-FitnessBeauty

Most people know that organic skin care products can help anyone to get that radiant, glowing skin they always wanted. However, did you know you can benefit from even better results by incorporating massage techniques? Often, the more you rub in your product, the more beneficial it can be. Here’s how it works.

Why Massage Your Skin?

Facial massage is a beneficial process regardless of whether you match it with organic skincare products or not. It works to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve your blood flow, tighten skin, and even release built-up tension through emotions you may have felt throughout the day. Try to set time aside every day for a facial massage.

Using Skincare Products

Massaging your face is going to be beneficial for your skin with or without organic skincare products. However, if you want to get the best effects possible, using organic skin care products can help. Clean your hands and face, pat your skin dry, then begin rubbing your chosen product into your skin. The longer you spend doing it, the easier it penetrates your skin for best effect.

How to Massage Yourself

You don’t need to head to a massage therapist to benefit from a facial massage. In fact, the entire process is something you can do in the comfort of your home. Start by creating circles with your fingers over your neck and beneath your chin.
