How many meals do you eat in one day? Close study of weight loss throughout the past decades has proven to us that eating a small number of large meals daily will lower your metabolism. This diet pattern results in extra weight in fat. However, this fat seems to be easily burnable, so there is hope! Make it your goal to eat at least three medium-sized meals throughout the day. Do not eat much late at night, though, as sleep slows your metabolism down. If you must have a midnight snack, make it small and balanced between protein and carbohydrate.
Today, treatment of gum disease is no longer just in the mouth. Inflammation was thought to be isolated to tissue such as gums, and arteries and did not interact with one another. Now it is clear that inflammatory mediators released in different tissues in the mouth can accelerate low-grade inflammation in distant tissues such as in arteries. Gum disease will rapidly increase hardening of the arteries. Sustained inflammatory activity is a characteristic feature of atherosclerosis (cholesterol) and arteriosclerosis (hard and brittle) artery disease. Cholesterol deposited in plaques in artery walls increases inflammation that weakens the arterial wall and the inner lining, the endothelium. Inflammation is also a determinant of plaque vulnerability, plaques that rupture then causes heart attack and stroke.
Did I mention protein powders make me sick? Well, not literally of course. At least I’ve been fortunate enough to avoid any spoiled or contaminated protein products. What I mean is that I’ve gotten really bored with drinking the same protein shakes every day. What do I mean when I say that protein powders make me sick? Well I don’t mean it literally of course. I just mean that it’s gotten really boring because I have to drink the same shakes every day. So do you really have to drink these products if you want to gain muscle?

1. Eat Breakfast! So many people think that if they skip breakfast they will lose weight. The sad fact is that this only ruins your metabolism causing your body to want to store more fat. Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day. In fact, it’s so important that I refuse to train anyone who doesn’t eat breakfast, because if you skip this meal, it shows that you are not serious about losing weight. 2. Eat more frequently

Cellulite is an esthetic nightmare! Though it isn’t directly harmful to our health, it does invade our bodies in such a way that we start to feel ugly. When this happens our self esteem is compromised. What is Cellulite and How does it Affect Us? It is important to note that though cellulite is indeed a form of fat it is not directly related to being overweight. Almost every single woman (i.e. a female that has past the stage of puberty) is affected by a lesser or greater degree of cellulite. It is also curious to note that cellulite rarely affects men. Cellulite is not a health risk, but simply a condition of the skin normally caused by hormonal factors such as estrogen and is more predominant in females and in certain races.
In looking at the job of a few major hormones in the body you can begin to see how there is a fine line between making your body’s natural regulatory systems work for you and being at their mercy. It is certain that you can make physical gains without the knowledge of how to manipulate the most influential aspects of your body’s muscle building processes. What is also certain however, is how intelligent training and dieting, both time correctly, can create a more favorable cellular environment for building muscle and shedding fat.
Not long ago, one of my friends told me about guerrilla cardio as his favorite fat burning cardio workout. Have you heard of it? It’s an ultra-intense cardiovascular workout based on a study done by Dr. Izumi Tabata, Ph.D.. Dr. Tabata, a researcher at the institute of Health & Nutrition in Tokyo, Japan, conducted a study compairing cardiovascular endurance training vs. high intensity cardiovascular training. In Tabata’s study, one group did a full 60 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise 5 days per week. Group two also trained 5 days a week, but performed up to eight 20-second sprints of high-intensity cycling with a 10-second rest (pedaling at a slower rate) in between [1]. They performed these sprints between warm-up and cool-down periods. |
