The Differences Between Synthetic and Natural Nutritional Supplements

The Differences Between Synthetic and Natural Nutritional Supplements
As online dieticians, we always establish the first things
first: whole foods. The majority of your nutrition should
come from sources of whole grains and fresh fruits and
vegetables, followed by lean protein and healthy fats.
Then, to compensate for the deficiencies in our diet, or
damage caused by toxins and free radicals in our body, we
need to add multivitamins and anti-oxidants. Some
supplements may help ensure that you get adequate amounts
of essential nutrients or help promote optimal health and
performance if you do not consume a variety of foods in
proper amounts. Dietary supplements are not intended to
treat, diagnose, mitigate, prevent, or cure disease. In
some cases, dietary supplements may even have unwanted
effects. Then there is this question: Which are better,
"synthetic" or food-based "natural" dietary supplements?
The proper nutritional program is essential to an effective
online diet plan.

As with most research, both sides are supported and
rebutted. Currently, the definition of "natural" in foods
and dietary supplements has not been established by the
government. Therefore, the interpretation can vary greatly.
There is a common misconception that "natural" vitamins and
minerals are extracted from plants in their pure form and
as such are superior to "synthetic" vitamins and minerals,
which are made in a laboratory. This can be misleading
because it is not possible to extract pure vitamins from
plants without considerable amounts of chemical processing.
Also, the biological activity of a compound has nothing to
do with its source, but is determined by its chemical
structure. So really, whether the chemical originates from
a leafy plant or a test tube, it is the same compound.

Some vitamin and antioxidant compounds can be efficiently
synthesized in factories to produce products that are
identical in chemical form to those found in nature and
that are pure and fully safe. Some synthetic vitamins are
preferentially absorbed over food sources and vice versa.

Folic Acid, for example, is preferentially absorbed and
utilized over natural food folates that must go through
several conversion processes to be utilized as folic acid.

Vitamin E, a fat-soluble vitamin, exists in eight different
forms. Each form has its own biological activity, which is
the measure of potency or functional use in the body.
Alpha-tocopherol is the name of the most active from of
vitamin E in humans. It is also a powerful biological
antioxidant. Vitamin E in supplements is usually sold as
alpha-tocopheryl acetate, a form that protects its ability
to function as an antioxidant, and is sometimes derived
from soy. The synthetic form is labeled "D, L" while the
natural from is labeled "D." The synthetic form is only
half as active as the natural form.

There are no known differences in the biological activity
of natural and synthetic L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C). As
reported by the Linus Pauling Institute, a study in 68 male
nonsmokers found that ascorbic acid consumed as cooked
broccoli, orange juice, orange slices, and synthetic
ascorbic acid tablets are equally bioavailable, as measured
by plasma ascorbic acid.

Most important: since the FDA doesn't regulate nutritional
supplements, look for ones that offer purity, safety,
effectiveness, bioavailability, and whether natural or
synthetic, ones that are best absorbed and utilized by the
body. Such standards may be upheld when a product has a GMP
(good manufacturing practice) seal on it, is potency
guaranteed and may also be reviewed by the following
organizations:

Massage and Massage Therapy: It's What You Don't See That Counts

Massage and Massage Therapy: It's What You Don't See That Counts
Mirror Mirror on the wall...

If you think it's high time that you reversed that sinking
feeling that you experience every time you look in the
mirror, then you're absolutely right. Welcome aboard!

If you're not quite there yet, then read on...

Feeling good about yourself needn't involve rose tinted
spectacles, a magic wand or a plastic surgeon. Feeling good
about yourself starts with a decision, plain and simple.

Most of us are incredibly critical about ourselves, which
if left unchecked, can very quickly stop any aspirations of
self esteem dead in their tracks. Decide that you're o.k.
with or without your so called deficiencies, and you're
halfway there.

The next step is to address what you're not content with.
Whether it's your waistline, your double chin, your jowls
or any other thing you're not happy with about yourself,
you need a plan of action and a timetable for its
completion.

You could do worse than start with what you see. 9 times
out of 10 it's what you see in the mirror that starts the
whole cycle of self criticism and low self esteem. For
almost immediate results, start with a Facial Massage.
Massage and Massage Therapy literally breathes life into
the parts of the body that are being treated. Massage
involves the manipulation of body tissue by applying
varying amounts of pressure, causing movement of soft
tissue which improves functioning of the circulatory,
lymphatic, muscular, skeletal, and nervous systems and as a
bonus, may improve the rate at which the body recovers from
injury and illness. Make no mistake, exercising equals
energizing, and that is the mind as well as the body.

What about what you don't see? Most of us are completely
unaware that our bodies are equipped with little wonder
molecules that, when properly ignited, are capable of
lifting our spirits in ways we never thought possible.
These naturally occurring wonder drugs are called
endorphins. Endorphins are neurotransmitters that offer a
whole range of health benefits including stress reduction,
improved immune systems, and a state of euphoria.

The bottom line is this: Having recognized that you're not
happy with what you see in the mirror, you can take comfort
from the fact that the changes you need to make need not be
huge and unattainable. Start with one of the easiest and
most accessible therapies available, and see results in a
matter of days,

Massage and Massage Therapy will successfully address your
concerns about looking in the mirror, but it's what you get
for free that's the real success story

To your continued, outstanding health.

Stop avoiding the mirror and take control of the aging
process once and for all with the most effective Home Study
Massage Program available.

3500 Calories: A Pound of Fat or Six Pounds Of Muscle?

3500 Calories: A Pound of Fat or Six Pounds Of Muscle?
Most fitness conscious people know that there are 3,500
calories in a pound of fat, so if you create a deficit of
3500 calories in a week, you lose a pound of weight. If you
create a deficit of 7000 calories in a week, you lose two
pounds a week, and so on. Right? Well, not so fast...

Dr. Kevin Hall, an investigator at the National Institute
of Health has done some interesting research about the
mechanisms regulating human body weight. He recently
published a new paper in the International Journal of
Obesity that throws a wrench in works of the "3500 calories
to lose a pound" idea...

Some of the equations in his paper made my head hurt, but
despite the complex math he used to come to his
conclusions, his article clearly prompts the question,
"3500 calories to lose a pound of WHAT?" His paper also
contained a lot of simple and practical tips you can use to
properly balance your caloric intake with output, fine tune
your calorie deficit and help you retain more muscle when
you diet.

Below, I've distilled some of the information into a simple
bullet-point summary that any non-scientist can understand.
Then I wrap up with my interpretation of how you can apply
this in your own fat loss program:

Calculating the calories required to lose a pound and
fine-tuning your caloric deficit

* 3500 calories to lose a pound has always been the rule of
thumb. However, this 3500 calories figure goes back to
research which assumed that all the weight lost would be
adipose tissue (which would be ideal, of course).

* But as we all know (unfortunately), lean body mass is
lost along with body fat, which would indicate that the
3500 calorie figure could be an oversimplification.

* The amount of lean body mass lost is based on initial
body fat level and size of the calorie deficit

* Lean people tend to lose more lean body mass and retain
more fat.

* Fat people tend to lose more body fat and retain more
lean tissue (revealing why obese people can tolerate
aggressive low calorie diets better than already lean
people)

* Very aggressive low calorie diets tend to erode lean body
mass to a greater degree than more conservative diets.

* whether the weight loss is lean or fat gives you the real
answer of what is the required energy deficit per unit of
weight loss

* The metabolizable energy in fat is different than the
metabolizable energy in muscle tissue. A pound of muscle is
not 3500 calories. A pound of muscle yields about 600
calories. • If you lose lean body mass, then you lose more
weight than if you lose fat.

* If you create a 3500 calorie deficit in one week and you
lose 100% body fat, you will lose one pound. •

* But if you create a 3500 calorie weekly deficit and as a
result of that deficit, lose 100% muscle, you would lose
almost 6 pounds of body weight! (of course, if you manage
to lose 100% muscle, you will be forced to wear the
Dieter's Dunce cap)

* If you have a high initial body fat percentage, then you
are going to lose more fat relative to lean, so you may
need a larger deficit to lose the same amount of weight as
compared to a lean person

* Creating a calorie deficit once at the beginning of a
diet and maintaining that same caloric intake for the
duration of the diet after major weight loss fails to
account for how your body decreases energy expenditure with
reduced body weight

* Weight loss typically slows down over time for a
prescribed constant diet (the "plateau"). This is either
due to the decreased metabolism mentioned above, or a
relaxing of the diet compliance, or both (most people just
can't hack aggressive calorie reductions for long)

* Progressive resistance training and or high protein diets
can modify the proportion of weight lost from body fat
versus lean tissue (which is why weight training and
sufficient protein while on calorie restricted diets are
absolute musts!)

So, based on this info, should you throw out the old
calorie formulas?

Well, not necessarily. You can still use the standard
calorie formulas to figure out how much you should eat, and
you can use a 500-1000 calorie per day deficit (below
maintenance) as a generic guideline to figure where to set
your calories to lose one or two pounds per week
respectively (at least that works "on paper" anyway).

Even better however, you could use this info to fine tune
your caloric deficit using a percentage method and also
base your deficit on your starting body fat level, to get a
much more personalized and effective approach:

15-20% below maintenance calories = conservative deficit

20-25% below maintenance calories = moderate deficit

25-30% below maintenance calories = aggressive deficit

31-40% below maintenance calories = very aggressive deficit
(risky)

50%+ below maintenance calories = semi
starvation/starvation (potentially dangerous and unhealthy)

(Note: According to exercise physiologists Katch & Mcardle,
the average female between the ages of 23 and 50 has a
maintenance level of about 2000-2100 calories per day and
the average male about 2700-2900 calories per day)

Usually, we would suggest starting with a conservative
deficit of around 15-20% below maintenance. Based on this
research, however, we see that there can be a big
difference between lean and overweight people in how many
calories they can or should cut.

If you have very high body fat to begin with, the typical
rule of thumb on calorie deficits may underestimate the
deficit required to lose a pound. It may also be too
conservative, and you can probably use a more aggressive
deficit safely without as much worry about muscle loss or
metabolic slowdown.

If you are extremely lean, like a bodybuilder trying to get
ready for competition, you would want to be very cautious
about using aggressive calorie deficits. You'd be better
off keeping the deficit conservative and starting your
diet/cutting phase earlier to allow for a slow, but safe
rate of fat loss, with maximum retention of muscle tissue.

The bottom line is that it's not quite so simple as 3,500
calories being the deficit to lose a pound. Like lots of
other things in nutrition that vary from person to person,
the ideal amount of calories to cut "depends"...

New Study On ADHD Treatment: Can Pine Bark Reduce ADHD Symptoms in Children?

New Study On ADHD Treatment: Can Pine Bark Reduce ADHD Symptoms in Children?
ADHD or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is
commonly diagnosed among children, particularly those in
the United States. Drug medications such as Ritalin,
Adderall and Trileptal are often prescribed to help
alleviate ADHD symptoms. Most of these medications have
mild to severe side-effects and can become habit-forming.

A new research study has found that pine bark extract,
marketed as Pycnogenol, may be an effective ADHD treatment.
Pycnogenol has been shown to reduce hyperactivity in
children. It also helped to improve focus and attention
span and aided motor skills coordination in the children
tested.

Pycnogenol is a natural herbal supplement which has long
been used to reduce stress. It is known for its strong
antioxidant properties. It actually serves to extend the
antioxidant properties that are found in other sources such
as vitamin C. It has also been used to help treat
inflammation as well as to improve circulation. The latest
findings showed that Pycnogenol can be a natural supplement
to improve ADHD symptoms.

Pycnogenol has been proven to be a safe and effective
treatment for children with ADHD. What's more, the
treatment is natural and therefore produces none of the
harmful or annoying side effects that other medical
treatments often do. This is a tremendous finding for
parents who are uncomfortable giving their children
traditional prescription medications for ADHD. Many of the
current medications are stimulants that can be addictive.
For this reason some parents have concerns about giving
them to their children for the long term.

The new study which will be published in the Journal of
Nutritional Neuroscience, is a continuation of a recent
study done by scientists in Slovakia. The new study takes
the research even further to measure the hormone levels in
children using blood samples. Stress hormone levels dropped
in children who took Pycnogenol, which accounted for
improved attention span and other ADHD symptoms. Pycnogenol
naturally lowers adrenaline levels as well as dopamine
levels, thus reducing ADHD symptoms.

Research testing found that children with ADHD have higher
levels of stress hormones that can increase heart rate and
blood pressure. This can cause irritability, lack of focus
and increased excitability. The study shows that children
who took Pycnolgenol had decreased levels of the stress
hormone and therefore exhibited reduction in ADHD symptoms.
The study also shows that the children's ADHD symptoms
returned a month after they stopped taking Pycnolgenol.
This confirms the scientific evidence that Pycnolgenol
works to actually change hormone levels in the body.

These findings are particularly important for those who
have children with ADHD. It gives parents an alternative
treatment for ADHD - one that doesn't have side effects or
addiction possibilities. Parents should consult with their
child's doctor before trying any new treatments or before
ending any prescription medication.

Drug medications are the most prevalent form of treatment
for ADHD. The side effects are often unpleasant and can be
serious. There are alternative treatments for ADHD that are
safer and yet effective. Check out the all natural and drug

Can Water Really Help You Look and Feel Great?

Can Water Really Help You Look and Feel Great?
As much as 75% of adults suffer from mild, chronic
dehydration, a condition that dramatically works against
your weight loss efforts.

Discover why water consumption must be at the top of your
list in your quest for a fit, healthy and athletic body.

Though you probably don't think about it often, water is
the most essential element, next to air, to your survival.
The simple combination of two parts hydrogen, one part
oxygen makes up more than two thirds of your body and is
involved in a host of bodily functions that we routinely
take for granted.

Just to name a few:

* Water works to regulate the thermal condition of your body
* Water serves as a lubricant in your joints
* Water helps flush toxins from your blood
* Water gives your skin a clear, glowing complexion
* Water assists with digestion, pulling all the usable
nutrients out of foods
* Water aides in disease prevention (Drinking 8 glasses a
day has shown to reduce your chance of colon cancer by 45%
and bladder cancer by 50%)

What about fitness and fat-loss?

You've probably heard that you need to drink plenty of
water in order to drop weight, but did you ever wonder why?
What does water have to do with decreasing your calories
and increasing your activity level in an effort to shed
pounds?

1. Water is a natural appetite suppressant

Fill your stomach with a glass of water before each meal
and you will find that you won't eat as much. This also
works on snacking throughout the day, keep hydrated all day
long and watch as your desire to snack decreases.

2. Water increases your body's ability to efficiently
metabolize fat

This process begins with your kidneys receiving enough
water to function at their peak, which in turn helps your
liver reach optimal efficiency in removing toxins and waste
from your blood. With your liver working at maximum
capacity, fat will be metabolized at a higher rate. This
means a decrease in your overall body fat. (And who doesn't
want that?)

3. Water is the perfect substitute for high calorie
beverages

Want to super-charge your fitness results this summer?
Well, this is the most effective way to utilize water
toward your waist-shrinking efforts. Most of us consume
more than our share of calorie-packed beverages. Smoothies,
shakes, frozen mochas, soft drinks...you get the idea. When
you trade your high calorie beverages in for a tall glass
of water you will expedite your results in a major way.

The Other Side of the Story...

Now you know that drinking sufficient amounts of water will
help you reach your fitness goals faster than ever, but you
should also know that failing to drink enough water comes
with serious consequences...

* Your body will shift into "preserve" mode - which means
you will store more fat.
* Bodily functions will slow - leading to an overall
decrease in energy levels. * Headaches will become an
expected nuisance - your brain is over 70% water.

To avoid dehydration here are 5 Hydration Tips:

Tip #1: Caffeinated beverages - such as coffee, soft drinks
or energy drinks - cause your body to lose water. After you
enjoy a dose of caffeine replace the lost water by drinking
2 times that amount in water.

Tip #2: Add a slice of lemon to your water to spice things
up.

Tip #3: Always carry water with you throughout your day -
keep a bottle in the car, at your workplace and next to
your bed.

Tip #4: Exercise and hot summer days both increase your
body's water requirements - make a mental note to drink
before, during and after exercise or while out on a hot day.

Tip #5: Make it a habit to begin your day with a large
glass of water then drink a glass before each meal and one
between meals.

Cholesterol Prevention and Reduction

Cholesterol Prevention and Reduction
An ounce of Prevention is worth more than a Pound of Cure.

"Cardiovascular diseases kill some 950,000 Americans every
year, but as many as two-thirds of these deaths are
preventable. Over the past 50 years, research into the
causes of ischemic heart disease (which causes over half
the deaths from cardiovascular disease) has shown that many
people's risk of a heart attack can be reduced by making
lifestyle changes and taking medication. In addition,
treating high blood pressure reduces the risk of stroke and
congestive heart failure." 1

Heart disease is America's number 1 killer.

Do you know what your risk profile is?

There are numerous risk factors we should all be aware of:

• family history

• high blood pressure

• high blood cholesterol level

• cigarette smoking

• diabetes mellitus

• sedentary lifestyle

• obesity

• advancing age

• stressful lifestyle

• depression

Family History

You obviously can not exchange the parents you inherited
for maybe a set without a history of heart disease,
however, you can change many things within your control.
Heart disease is largely preventable.

High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure increases the hearts workload,
weakening it over time. It also increases the risk of
stroke, heart attack, kidney failure and congestive heart
failure. Aim for a blood pressure of under 140 systolic
(top) and 90 diastolic (bottom), with 120/80 being optimal.
Have your blood pressure checked at least every two years,
you can easily have it checked at most any pharmacy.

High cholesterol and high triglycerides

Having total cholesterol over 200 indicates a higher
susceptibility to heart disease. The target should be to
have an LDL ("bad" cholesterol) lower than 130, HDL ("good"
cholesterol) over 45, and triglycerides at 150 or even
lower. Triglycerides are emerging as a significant risk
factor.

Do You Smoke?

One word: STOP!

Cigarette smoking is the most important preventable cause
of premature death in the country. If you smoke your risk
of developing heart disease increases dramatically.

Diabetes

Diabetes is a serious risk factor. Regardless of age,
diabetics have a much higher risk of heart disease than
non-diabetics. If you have diabetes, work at maintaining a
healthy weight, keep physically active, minimize dietary
fat and calories, and consult your doctor.

Do you lead a sedentary lifestyle?

Inadequate physical activity does not provide for adequate
blood fl ow through your arteries which can lead to
blockages. These blockages can lead to some form of
coronary event. The heart is a muscle and muscles need to
work to stay strong. If you want to maintain a strong and
healthy heart you need to exercise regularly.

Get some physical activity. Put down the remote and the
potato chips and go for a walk. This is a great stress
reliever and it will burn off those calories from dinner.
Do not snack while you are walking.

Obesity and overweight

The incidence of obesity is in a crisis mode. Being more
than 30 percent over your ideal body weight makes you more
likely to develop heart disease, even with no other risk
factors. New guidelines recommend your waist circumference
should be less than 35 inches.

Carrying around excess weight puts an extra burden on your
heart and can take years off your life. An improper diet
and inadequate exercise often lead to coronary artery
disease. Fatty foods can increase cholesterol levels.
Carbohydrates convert to triglycerides which when elevated
to unsafe levels can indicate type II diabetes and heart
disease.

Do you lead a stressful life?

Stress can lead to many physical ailments including heart
disease and stroke. Stress puts an unhealthy heavy burden
on your heart.

Stress can be deadly so try to minimize it in your daily
life. Detach from the outcome of events you are worried
about and don't force things to occurr the way you expect.
Let it go and watch with amazement how what you want does
happen without your interference.

Try meditation or just quieting your mind for a few minutes
to relax tension and stress levels.

Give problems the "10 year test" Will this problem really
matter 10 years from now? If the answer is no, it is not
worth worrying about today either. Exercise strengthens
your heart so it is more capable of handling stress.
Aerobic activities like bicycling, playing tennis, running,
swimming, and walking are excellent ways to strengthen your
heart muscle.

Why exercise is so important?

Regular physical activity and maintaining the proper weight
are essential to reducing your risk of heart disease and
improving quality of life. It is not news that exercise
improves your heart health. Consistent exercise may in fact
lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, raise HDL (good)
cholesterol, and lower blood pressure.

The aging process can be slowed from physical activity and
exercise. The capacity of muscles and other tissues to
utilize oxygen decreases naturally with age. Exercise and
other physical activity can reduce the rate of this
decrease. The calorie burn rate at rest also decreases as
you age. Regular exercise can offset this by helping your
body burn more calories. Calories continue to burn even
hours after exercise. Bones and muscles work better when
they're used than when they are not.

Natural Supplements can be very beneficial as a preventive
measure against heart disease

Omega 3 fish oils are a healthy way of helping prevent
heart disease

"Evidence shows that even after age 50 and even if heart
disease has already developed, healthy lifestyle changes -
stopping smoking, eating a healthy diet, exercising
sensibly, and lowering cholesterol and blood pressure
levels with medication - may improve the odds for a longer,
more active life." 1

Healing Proprties Of Honey

Healing Proprties Of Honey
Honey is well known for its great healing properties. In
pure honey, its sugar content is all natural, and is very
likely the world's most ancient sweetener which is why it
is used as sweetener for coffee and tea for reasons that it
provides rich sources of nutrients. Let's look at its
popularity and versatility from the variety of uses it has
provided throughout history.

HONEY'S NUTRIENTS and HEALING PROPERTIES

Honey's rich nutrients, enzyme and antioxidant content
combined with its ability to thwart infections makes it a
potent healer. For centuries, honey has been considered
highly nutritious and of medicinal value. It is believed to
be very beneficial for eyesight, reducing effects of
poisoning, stopping hiccups, treating urinary tract
disorders, worm infestations, nausea, vomiting, cleansing,
healing wounds and many more healing properties.

Honey contain mainly carbohydrates, water, vitamins and
minerals, including niacin, riboflavin, pantothenic acid,
calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus,
potassium and zinc.

Honey is also rich in enzymes, antioxidants and other
phytonutrients. It also contains flavonoids and phenolic
acids which act as antioxidants, scavenging and eliminating
free radicals. These antioxidants substances found in honey
have been responsible for the wound-healing properties of
honey. Due to its wound-healing properties, honey has been
used widely as an antiseptic therapeutic agent for
treatment of ulcers, burns and wounds for centuries.

HOW HEALING of WOUND WORKS By USING HONEY

Due to its contents of glucose and fructose, which attract
water, honey absorbs water from wound, drying it out so
that the growth of bacteria and fungi are inhibited.
Secondly, raw honey contains an enzyme known as glucose
oxidase which, when combined with water, produces hydrogen
peroxide, which is a mild antiseptic.

BEAUTY BENEFITS Of HONEY

The vitamins, minerals and amino acids found in honey make
it a wonderful beauty aid. When taken orally for consistent
period of time, honey nourishes the skin and the hair. In
fact if taken for longer period of time, it helps our skin
to glow more radiantly, helps to reduce wrinkles, thus
making us look younger.

Honey makes a good moisturizing agent and a natural
cleanser and as such it is used in many skin-cleansing
formulations. It increases exfoliation or renewal of the
skin cells that makes the skin softer and younger.

Other supplementary products of honey which are royal
jelly, propolis have been used in beauty saloon as facial
mask that command great prices due to its effective results
for a more glowing skin.

OTHER HEALTH BENEFITS Of HONEY

Due to its ready availability of carbohydrates, honey
provides instant energy sources if taken prior to exercises
which improves performances. If taken after exercises, it
helps to speed up recovery of muscles.

Honey also increases the growth and activity of good
bacteria in the gut. Results from recent studies show that
taking honey with dairy products such as yogurt can enhance
growth and viability of bifidobacteria.

Other benefits of honey are its anti-inflammatory actions
which help in treating a sore throat.

HOW To TAKE HONEY As HEALTH SUPPLEMENT

Honey can be taken as it is in one tea spoon without mixing
with water first thing in the morning or anytime in the day
as you wish. For me I prefer to take honey as it is with
royal jelly and propolis in the morning before breakfast
and drink. It provides me with energy for the whole day
with royal jelly as a good beauty aid and propolis a great
antioxidant too. I felt that my complexion has improved
overtime with honey and I will continue to take it as
health supplement due to its high antioxidant and healing
properties.

Skull Crushers - The Murderous Workout

Skull Crushers - The Murderous Workout
Many women struggle with good triceps development. This can
be due to many reasons. One, your triceps are located on
the back of your arms and for many people if they don't see
the muscle they don't train it fully. Second, the triceps
can be a hard muscle to develop on many levels. For most
people, the training difficulty lies in the fact that it's
underdeveloped and training them means you must use forms
of training your triceps are not use to.

Now, I'm not going to fill your head with all the intricate
details of the triceps, such as its exact location,
function, insertion point and all that other jazz. You can
actually find all that kind of detailed information in Iron
Dolls.

In this article I'm going to drive the focus on what you
need to do to master your triceps training by including
skulls.

Overall, to really boost your triceps strength and general
mass you should employ the use of good ole compound
exercises. This doesn't just go for triceps training; your
triceps come into play in many chest and shoulder
movements. Make the bulk of your training center around
compound movements for overall general muscle mass.

Some of the exercises you should include to hit all the
triceps heads fully are close-grip bench presses, overhead
extensions, skull crushers, triceps dips, pushdowns, etc.
While all of these triceps exercise are important, far too
many people put all their faith in pushdowns in hopes to
reap the results of well-developed triceps.

Skull crushers are an overlooked triceps exercise. This is
not an easy movement and getting the form right can be
difficult. For this reason, my suggestion is to start off
using light poundage to learn the form of the skull
crushers. Starting off light will also allow you to
actually feel the muscle work. Once you feel the muscle
working during the movement your form will improve greatly.

After you get a good warm-up (5 minutes on a treadmill or
bike and another 5-10 minutes of actual warm-up exercises
for the triceps) you can begin your first set of skull
crushers.

Skull Crusher Form

Step #1 - I recommend starting with free weights, using the
EZ curl bar for skulls. After you grab the bar lie back on
a flat bench with your feet flat on the floor.

Step #2 - Using a narrow and prone grip, slightly less than
shoulder-width, position the bar over your chest area.

Step #3 - Bend your elbows and allow the weight to lower to
your forehead. NOTE: As you lower the weight allow ONLY
your elbows to bend in the direction the weight is
lowering. Your elbows should not sway out; they must stay
aligned with your body.

Step #4 - From the lowered position, use your triceps
muscle to contract and bring the weight back to the
starting position. As the bar reaches the top of the
movement, contract the triceps hard.

Step #5 - Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the designated reps in
that set.

One-Month Triceps Blast Workout

Note: each week's triceps workout involves different
training principles. Please read below the training workout
for how to include each training principle each week.

Week #1

Warm-up Parallel bar dips 3 x 10

EZ bar skulls 3 x 10 (DS)

DB overhead ext 3 x 10 (DS)

Pushdowns 2 x 40

Week #2

Warm-up

EZ bar decline skulls 3 x 8 (TS)

Close-grip press 3 x 8 (TS)

Reverse-grip pulldown 3 x 8 (TS)

Week #3

Warm-up

EZ bar overhead ext (21s)

Parallel bar dips (21s)

DB skulls (21s)

Week #4

Warm up

Close-grip press (Neg)

Reverse-grip overhead ext (Neg)

Kickbacks (Neg)

Skulls 2 x 40

Drop Sets (DS) - Drops sets involve doing as many
repetitions as you can and begin decreasing the poundage as
you hit muscular failure. Keep this process going until you
can't do one more rep.

Tri-Sets (TS) - A tri-set is using three consecutive
exercises for the same body part. Tri-sets take a lot of
strength and energy to complete all three in a consecutive
manner, so be sure to keep weight poundage within reason.
Rest two to three minutes and then do 2-3 more tri-sets.

Twenty-ones or 21s - Twenty-ones is a training principle in
which one set is broken up into 3 different segments of 7
that total 21. The three different aspects of the full set
involve 2 partials sets and one full range of motion set.

Negatives - Eccentric contractions are the lengthening of
the muscle. This is also known as the negative. The aid of
a spotter is helpful when doing negatives. Use about 35%
more weight than you use on a concentric lift. Explode the
weight up and focus on the downward phase of the lift,
keeping your lifting pace slow and controlled.

Close-grip press - Lower the bar to your chest slowly and
have a spotter help lift it back to the starting point.
Rest 2-3 minutes and repeats

Conclusion

The above triceps workout is a great shocker to get you
started for advanced triceps training. Once you are able to
feel the muscle move through the movements, you will be
better able to handle heavier weight with minimal sets and
reps to further advance growth.

Your goal for growth in the gym is to simply tear the
muscle down so it can rebuild into a stronger unit.

Lyme Literate Doctors How to Find Them

Lyme Literate Doctors How to Find Them
Granted a Lyme literate doctor is hard to find, but not
impossible to locate.

You would think with all of the press about Lyme disease
and all of the people with symptoms that go unexplained
until they receive a diagnosis of Lyme that physicians
would get on board, fast. Well, if you have Lyme or have
suspicions that you may have Lyme you will find that this
is not the case.

If your family experiences are like ours you have been
referred from one doctor to another and yet another without
finding remedy. You have been to the "big name clinics" in
medicine only to be told, "It's all in your head." My
stepson, who is being treated for Lyme refers to this as
"lazy doctoring."

So, why aren't those doctors in some sort of Directory?

Lyme diagnosis, treatment, and the very existence of the
disease is a hotly contended issue among those in the
medical community: physicians, insurance companies, and
pharmaceutical companies alike.

Although a Directory of Lyme Literate Doctors sure would
make life easier for patients and their families,
physicians are adamant about not participating in such a
Guide.

Lyme Literate Doctors work long hours. Many have a team in
place to treat patients seven days a week. They do not have
room in the day or in their office(s) to take care of more
people. They can not afford for their office staff to spend
all day on the telephone answering questions from hundreds
of information hungry people who suspect they have the
disease.

Add to this the understanding that by law medical
professionals must not answer those questions lest they be
mistaken as a diagnosis, over the phone. All to say a
Directory of Lyme Literate Physicians is out of the
question.

Should patients try to get their family practitioner to
test them for Lyme?

Lyme literate doctors do not rely on just one test; they
run a series of tests to come to the determination of Lyme.
If your family practitioner is not familiar with these
tests you may be fighting an uphill battle trying to get
him/her to even consider Lyme as the source of your health
problems.

So, what's a patient to do? How are patients supposed to
find a Lyme literate doctor?

Find someone who has had Lyme, now has his/her life back
and ask "who diagnosed and treated you?" The Lyme
associations are a good place to start. Although there are
just a handful of Associations across the country and may
not be one in your state, that is OK. They are a good
source of information for those of us with the disease.

Be aware that Lyme Associations as constrained by the laws
of their not-for-profit status are not able to recommend
physicians. These associations are operated by Lyme
patients who volunteer their time to answer phone calls and
emails.

So, if you call Lyme associations for referrals have
patience as you may get voice mail instead of a live
person. Leave your message and wait for them to return your
call.

When you get the names of doctors, many find it helpful to
schedule appointments with these physicians and interview
them to make certain that what they say makes sense to you
and to determine which physician will partner with you
towards the goal towards getting your life back from Lyme.

Eating - When Your Brain Won't Say STOP

Eating - When Your Brain Won't Say STOP
To eat or not to eat – what does your brain say?

The desire to eat comes from many factors monitored by, and
instructions put out by your brain – in essence your level
of Brain Fitness. One specific brain region involved in
monitoring nutrition signals is the hypothalamus. This part
of the brain houses a complex set of brain cells that talk
to each other and talk to your bloodstream and digestive
tract to decide whether you need to eat.

If the hypothalamus system senses a need for nutrition it
will send out hormone signals that make you hungry, if not,
it will try to keep you feeling full. However, there are
other players in the drive to eat that come from emotional
centers and decision-making centers in the brain. This is
what separates us from other animals. Our behaviors aren't
as 'hard-wired' so we our more likely to eat
inappropriately just because we want to, not because we
need to.

The STOP signs in our heads

A new study published in the September 2007 edition of the
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition looked at a specific
brain region involved in this whole process, which relates
back to the whole concept of brain fitness.

Researchers looked at the activity of a brain region called
(ready for the long name) the left dorsal lateral
prefrontal cortex, or left DLPFC. This part of the brain
plays a role in inhibiting inappropriate behavior. It stops
you from acting on the impulse to do stupid things in
public, like punch someone who makes you mad, or say
something that you know you'll regret. It also stops you
from impulsively grabbing that donut when you know you
don't need it, which relates to this study.

Higher activity in the left DLPFC is associated with
greater control over impulsive eating. The new research
found that obese women had lower activity in this brain
region compared to lean or previously obese women (that had
successfully lost weight and kept it off). This was a
follow up to a previous study showing the same thing in
men. It's not really surprising but the cool thing is that,
the human cortex, including the DLPFC, tends to be
'moldable'.

Practice makes more permanent

We know that repeatedly practicing things that use the
cortex can make those brain connections stronger. For
example, if you repeatedly do Sudoku, you will get better
at recognizing number patterns. If you repeatedly do
crossword puzzles, you will get better at recalling words.
The new study is exciting because it suggests that if you
repeatedly work on impulse control you may be able to
increase the strength of the DLPFC and gain control of that
impulsive eating.

It all comes back to brain fitness in the end and how fit
your brain circuits are that control your behaviors. Just
like running or lifting weights, you can strengthen these
brain muscles and give your brain the power to have more
control over behaviors that you want to change. Like
anything else, all it takes is a little practice.

Now, excessive eating is not the only thing that controls
weight gain. Other factors that control your metabolism
contribute to whether you will gain or lose weight. Some of
these have genetic influences that are stronger in some
people than in others. But many of these can improve with
good nutrition and exercise as well.

The point to this article is that by practicing to change
the behaviors that you don't like, your brain will get
better at controlling them and it will get easier. No one
accomplishes anything difficult without practice and
experience – but eventually what once seemed close to
impossible becomes automatic after the appropriate
training. Brain Fitness is no different. With effort, you
can regain control. Just keep trying and give yourself time
for your brain circuits to strengthen.

The Ultimate Fat Burning Secret

The Ultimate Fat Burning Secret
What if everything you've ever heard about the "fat-burning
zone" in cardio training was wrong? Or, if not plain
wrong, at least misleading.

Truth is, if you've read anything about fitness over the
past 20 years, or have talked to any fitness
"professional", you've probably run across the term
"fat-burning zone".

If you dug a little deeper, you were probably told that
exercising in this zone - around 50% of your maximum heart
rate - was the only way to burn fat from your body.

If you were like me, you bought into this concept. You
fell for it hook, line and sinker and wasted countless
hours torturing yourself on cardio machines doing low
intensity workouts to get rid of the unwanted flab. After
all, it was the "only way."

The problem with this "fat-burning" zone is that it doesn't
take into account the intensity of the exercise. It
doesn't use the fact that higher intensity exercise burns
more total calories, and therefore more total fat.

For example: (these numbers hypothetical for simple
calculations)

Let's say a low intensity workout in the "fat-burning zone"
gets 50% of the energy from fat and burns 100 total
calories, it would use 50 calories worth of fat.

On the other hand, a high intensity workout might only get
25% of the energy from fat but burn 400 total calories. Do
the math. That's 100 calories worth of fat burned. And
the high intensity workout would have taken much less total
time to complete.

So, if you are like me, you longed for something different.
A way to exercise that was not only effective in reducing
fat, but also that took the drudgery out of your workouts.

There is such an exercise and it can give you better
results, faster than anything you have tried before.

I'm talking about running sprints. And more specifically,
running hill sprints.

Take a look at why hill sprints are the closest thing to a
perfect exercise for trimming excess blubber from your body.

Why Building Muscle Tissue Is Essential To Fat Loss

First off, running hill sprints will work all of the
muscles in your body at the same time. It is a true full
body workout. Workouts like this have been shown to
increase the amount of muscle tissue that you have.
Strong, lean, functional muscle.

So, what does more muscle have to do with burning flab?

It turns out that muscle tissue is like a calorie burning
furnace. The more muscle you have, the higher your
metabolism and the more calories you will burn - even when
you're just sitting in front of your computer... even when
you're sleeping.

Muscle also helps regulate your blood sugar. Muscle uses
sugar for energy when it contracts. When it uses up that
sugar, it needs to absorb more from your blood. Lowering
your blood sugar levels can help prevent the onset of
diabetes and its related health problems.

Get Hollywood's "Fountain of Youth" For Free

The second advantage of hill sprints over traditional
cardio exercise is that this kind of high intensity
exercise prompts your body to release higher levels of
human growth hormone (HGH) - naturally. Low intensity
cardio does not have this same effect.

Human growth hormone in adolescence is essential for just
that - proper growth. In adulthood, HGH, which is released
from the pituitary gland, is key in kicking up your
metabolism and shifting fat burning into high gear.

Funny thing is, your body has plenty of HGH stored inside
the pituitary. It just releases less and less as you get
to age 30 and above.

But, your body doesn't do this naturally. It is a "couch
potato" lifestyle that shuts down the levels of HGH in you
system. Change the lifestyle, release more hormone, reap
the benefits.

Hollywood stars and professional athletes, eager to look
and feel young forever, are paying big bucks for synthetic
injections of this substance. If they only knew how to get
it for free...

Why You Need To Cut The Fat

So, what's the big deal about a little extra padding anyway?

Besides the obvious cosmetic reasons, there are a number of
health benefits involved with cutting the amount of fat you
are carrying around.

Being obese - or even moderately overweight - has been
linked to health risks from heart attack and stroke to
arthritis and diabetes.

And fat around your middle has been shown to be the worst
kind.

But, a recent announcement from the American Diabetic
Association stated that high intensity exercise, like hill
sprinting, is the best way to reduce that stubborn belly
fat.

What Else Hill Sprints Do For You

In addition to being an incredible fat-burning exercise,
hill sprints have a number of other advantages over
traditional cardio workouts.

Hill sprint workouts take less time.

Hill sprint workouts make you run faster

Hill sprint workouts improve your athletic performance in
any sport

Hill sprint workouts are fun

Hill sprint workouts improve lung capacity

Hill sprint workouts increase heart's reserve capacity

Adding hill sprints to your workout routine can quickly
bring about positive changes in your health. You'll drop
the excess fat in no time and feel younger and better than
you have in years.

Mental Depression and Nutritional Deficiency

Mental Depression and Nutritional Deficiency
Your mental depression may be related to your diet, in
particular, your nutritional deficiency.

Mental depression and many autoimmune problems are
chemically and environmentally related. Specifically, your
mental depression may be due to the chemicals in your foods
and the environment, which upset the normal functioning of
neurotransmitters, resulting in imbalance of brain
chemicals.

Unfortunately, many people with mild depression simply
ignore their mental disorder, thinking their depressive
episodes are no more than "seasonal blues"; while those
with major depression are more likely to look upon
medications as their "magic bullet."

Of course, mental depression, which is a complex mental
illness, may be due to many factors. However, one common
cause of mental depression is diet. Nutritional deficiency
may play a pivotal role in manipulating the chemicals in
your brain, which are implicated in different types of
depression.

To illustrate, magnesium deficiency is prevalent among the
Americans. Why is that? Due to lack of funding to support
studies in this seemingly unprofitable area of research,
there have not been many studies on the impact of magnesium
deficiency on the American health.

Magnesium deficiency is responsible for many health
problems, including allergies, panic attacks,
cardiovascular disease, hypertension in children, and
premenstrual syndrome. In particular, those individuals who
are low in magnesium tend to be more likely to have
emotional problems. If your brain chemistry is balanced,
you can handle almost any type of stress. If not, then
stress can exacerbate your emotional problems to the
breaking point.

Physical symptoms of magnesium deficiency include twitches,
cramps, muscle tension, muscle soreness, backaches, neck
pain, constipation, urinary spasms, menstrual cramps, and
difficulty in swallowing. Other common mental symptoms are
insomnia, anxiety, hyperactivity and restlessness with
constant movement, panic attacks, and premenstrual
irritability. If you sigh a great deal, or have frequent
headaches, you may be deficient in magnesium too.

Magnesium deficiency plays a critical role in mental
depression. All chemical reactions in the body require an
enzyme system to initiate the biochemical reaction, and
magnesium is a critical co-factor in more than 300
enzymatic reactions in the human body. In addition,
magnesium is responsible for neurotransmission
abnormalities - the precursors of different types of mental
disorders.

To reverse magnesium or nutritional deficiency, you need to
change your diet. Magnesium is a youth-preserving mineral.
As you age, your magnesium level declines due to poor
absorption and inadequate diet. Two-thirds of elderly
Americans eat less than 75 percent of the RDA for
magnesium, and only 25 percent of Americans meet the RDA
for magnesium.

Magnesium is found in whole grains, nuts, seeds, and
legumes.

If necessary, take a supplement of 200-300 milligrams of
magnesium. Given that you are living in a highly polluted
environment, you should take a high dose of multi-vitamins
and multi-minerals, and large doses of omega 3 fatty acids,
if you are not consuming a great deal lot of fish, such as
salmon.

Dr. James D. Gordon of Georgetown University School of
Medicine recommends:

"Eliminate foods that are heavily processed and have been
adulterated in any way with any kind of food additive,
preservative, coloring, artificial flavoring, artificial
sweetener. Aspartame has been shown to cause serious brain
damage in animal. . ."

The rule of thumb, according to Dr. James Gordon, is
simple: Eat whole foods. You were created to eat whole
foods, not pop tarts.

If you think you can eat a whole food, and then a processed
food occasionally, you will still be getting the nutrients
from you whole food, think again! The chemicals, hormones,
and antibiotics from a processed food may have significant
long-term biological effects on your intestinal
functioning, and thus preventing you from taking in
nutrients from you whole food.

According to Dr. James Gordon, you should eliminate all
types of sugar, except honey or rice syrup. Look at the
concentrated sugar content in every Coke and other
carbonated beverages that flood the consumer market.
Remember, food manufacturers have everything to gain, and
you have everything to lose, except your weight.

Your mental depression may be a diet-related mental
disorder.

Omega 3, 6, 9

Omega 3, 6, 9
With the complicated chemical structures that are located
in the body, it's no wonder that nutritional advice and
information is equally as confusing. The good news is that
you don't have to be a doctor in order to understand what
needs to happen in your body. By learning just a few
things about how the body works and how it doesn't work,
you can add the proper supplements and foods to your
everyday life. In the end, these small steps will add up
to a giant leap for your health.

What are Omega Fatty Acids?

The most common buzz word these days is the idea of Omega
fatty acids or essential fatty acids. These chemical
structures are things that the body needs in order to
maintain cellular health as well as to prevent inflammation
in the body. They also help to maintain the integrity of
the nervous system in addition to making sure the body is
free from certain illnesses. Studies have linked Omega
fatty acids with prevention of cancer, limiting disease
growth, as well as helping with mental health disorders.
These EFAs (essential fatty acids) can not be produced by
the body, so they need to be ingested through the diet or
in a supplement form.

There are three different kinds of Omega fatty acids that
you will hear about - Omega 3, 6, and 9. Each of these
numbers designates that chemical structure, with each
ascending number as the longer chain that needs to be
broken down by the body. But how they are chemically
constructed is usually not the most important point for the
everyday person. People want to know what these Omega
fatty acids will do for their body.

What Does Omega 3 Do for the Body?

Omega 3 fatty acids are those that are found in oily fishes
and in fish oil supplements. These fatty acids are
responsible for helping the body create developed neural
networks - simply put, they help to build brain power in
children as well as adults. Research in the UK has shown
that children given EFAs are more likely to score higher on
reading tests as well as improve their overall behaviour.
Omega 3s are linked with helping those with ADD and ADHD as
well, in addition to a variety of other mental health
disorders likes OCD and depression. In relation to
inflammation in the body, Omega 3 fatty acids can also
assist those with arthritis and other autoimmune disorders.

Recent studies from Harvard University have also suggested
that Omega 3 fatty acids can also help with high blood
pressure and other forms of heart disease. Cancer
prevention is another commonly listed benefit of Omega 3
fatty acids.

What Does Omega 6 Do for the Body?

Omega 6 fatty acids are those found in plant sources like
nuts and flax seeds. These essential fatty acids have many
of the same benefits as Omega 3 fatty acids, but they are
not as widely encouraged as those from fish sources.

These fatty acids will still help with inflammation in
relation to arthritis and autoimmune diseases, but these
EFAs are more commonly referred to in terms of their effect
on the skin and hair of the person taking them. Studies
have shown that the fatty acids can help to manage acne as
well as conditions like psoriasis. Women especially can
benefit from Omega 6 fatty acids as they can also help with
menstrual disorders and related symptoms.

What Does Omega 9 Do for the Body?

Like its other essential fatty acid family members, Omega 9
fatty acids have a large role to play in relation to the
health of the patient. Found in animal fat and vegetable
oils, these fatty acids aren't linked as much with health
benefits, but still, they should be a part of a healthy
diet.

Cancer prevention as well as heart protection are still
possible with Omega 9 fatty acids, but these should be a
much smaller part of your diet as they can also include
saturated fats, which are harmful to the heart in larger
quantities.

How to Get More Essential Fatty Acids in Your Diet

It's simple to get more Omega fatty acids in your diet if
you simply look to where the greatest sources of essential
fatty acids are - fishes, flaxseed, and animal fats. By
simply making sure to have a few servings of these items
each week, you will be able to maintain a healthy level of
protection for your body and the stresses it goes through
each day.

To make things easier, fish oil supplements are a great way
to get the right levels and balance of Omega 3, 6, and 9 in
your diet. These pills are easy to take, easy to digest
and simple to remember.

Conclusion

When you make sure to add Omega 3, 6, and 9 essential fatty
acids into your diet, you will make sure you are doing all
that you can for your health and for your body.
