Why Should You Use Muscle Supplements?

By Henrick Scofers

Why muscle supplements? Why do you need to pay attention to supplements when you can just exercise, right? Although it is true that exercise plays a very large role in building muscles, it simply is not enough to get those muscles growing. If you want to gain muscle mass and get ripped you have to get eating down to a science. Simply put, you can't build anything that isn't there, so to be able to bulk up you have to learn what raw materials your body needs to start building muscle mass first before doing the exercises to shape up.

Why are muscle supplements important? Because they're full of something muscles need, protein. Protein is a food source that your body can most easily convert to muscle when it's digested. All foods you eat have energy units called "calories," which you need to keep your body running right. You get your calories from carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Protein calories most easily convert to muscle mass. You can get a lot of protein if you consume protein rich foods like meat or eggs.

However, it doesn't just mean you can stuff yourself with eggs and meat. That's because you don't just get protein when you eat these foods. You also get fat, which is very easily stored in your body as "extra" energy. Unfortunately, it can be stored in your belly and on your arms as unsightly "lumps" of fat, which of course you'd rather not have. Eggs, too, are rich in protein, but there's a problem with eggs, since the protein can be altered when it's cooked. You could eat raw egg whites, but this could lead to salmonella poisoning. And discarding the egg yolk is simply wasteful. So, there has to be a better way.

Instead, take muscle supplements, which give you protein in high enough amounts to build muscle without any of the waste or risk. Once you have enough protein, getting the exercise you need to bulk up is what's important. If you work out one particular set of muscles more than you do another, that particular part of your body is going to need more protein, which means that your muscles are going to grow larger and stronger.

Therefore, once you have enough protein in your diet, you just concentrate on doing a proper workout. Most trainers would suggest that you work your muscle groups to the point where you can't do any more repetitions. That is to say, you do repetitions on a particular muscle group until you can't do anymore. If you want to make your biceps bigger, for example, you keep doing curls with your biceps until you can't do another set. This breaks these muscles down in that area and they rebuild, coming back stronger and bigger than ever.

Now that you know why muscle supplements are ideal muscle building essentials, you should be happy to know that they come in so many forms like drinks and pills that can be very convenient. - 17268

Juicing Changes Health for The Best

By Ellen Valentine, CNC

Is there a certain line of defense to engage when you are not well? Is it true that once you hit a certain age things begin to fall apart and youre at the mercy of a life of medication to keep organ systems going? Well, it will be true for you if you believe that. Your body has the greatest potential for healing, and once you taste that triumph when Infinite Intelligence reverses an illness or condition, youll be empowered for life. Youll be invincible.

Everyone needs reminders. They come in the form of a good friend, a spouse, a mentor, a movie like the Secret or What the Bleep, a class or a book. The reminder is simple yet profound and that is that YOU ARE IN CHARGE. You can turn poor health around by going to the root cause of all disease: bad digestion. Bad digestion simply means youve run out of or are very low in digestive enzymes and minerals. Your job now is to eat whole, organic, take digestive enzymes every time you eat and combine your foods properly.

Digesting food takes the first priority in the body mind. Looking for nutrition or cleaning up bad food is the body's first job. I'm searching for ways to emphasize that because it's very important because there in an intense cycle that repeats itself. To understand the cycle allows for healing or disease. When denatured or mineral-depleted foods are the mainstay of the body, the body uses it's supply of pancreatic enzymes to move a bolus of food through the body at any given time. As the body supply runs low food putrefies, disease sets in, the body has little or no energy to heal or restore homeostasis and a person finds themselves in a crisis.

The most intelligent line of defense in a crisis is to mineralize and rest the body. This point in a persons life can be a real blessing. It may change their life for the wonderful simply because of the marvelous miracles that they will experience. The idea is to eat as much organic raw as possible. Not only is juicing the most effective way to put minerals in and replenish, a juicer is the best pharmacy you can go to. And you dont have to be sick to juice. Mothers should be juicing every day for the healthy and vibrant future of their children.

There are some really tasty juice combinations. In our home we love carrots, a cucumber, a green apple, celery, spinach, fennel and watercress. The cucumber and green apple lend a lot of juice and cut any heaviness in the carrots and spinach. Carrots are rich in beta carotene, great for the immune system, spinach is rich in folic acid, vitamin E and a great blood builder, celery is rich in potassium, fennel great for the digestive system and cucumber promotes beautiful skin.

There are many great books on health food store and the Amazon shelves about juicing. Grab a few and use them until the pages look like the juices you're making. Here are a few simple mixes I love: 1. Arthritis: handful of cherries, a handful of blueberries, and pineapple. Also try: pineapple, 6 carrots, and a handful of spinach. 2. Beautiful Skin: 2 Cucumbers, handful of parsley, 7 carrots, a green apple and kale, 3. Blood Building: 7 carrots, 1 beet with the greens and a handful of parsley. Add a green apple if you like. These three are only a taste of the many juice recipes you can play with. You will create many of your own favorites

Juicing cuts down on the energy the body expends in the digestive process. Always use organic. To do otherwise will make you ill as your body tries to push through the toxic chemicals that are used to spray conventionally grown foods.

As Earth Day is on our minds, take a stand for organic, both for fabrics and foods. Ask store owners to make sure that they do not stock genetically engineered, seedless varieties. The middles of all stores contain that which is lifeless. In all times and especially in times of illness, eat from the outside live isles of your organic food store. Create an extra ten years of quality life by making a commitment to eat 75% whole live and organic foods.

If you are healing, there are certain rules of thumb: it is better to not eat than to eat something that will throw the healing process back, drink lots of pure water every day, use only the freshest of everything you put in or on your body, make sure you eliminate several times a day, get lots of rest or meditation time, or both, have people you can trust to talk to, change the way you do things, eat every bite of food with gratitude and consciousness, help a friend, and love yourself above all else so you have more to give to others.

The Right Way to Use Creatine Supplements

By Lionel Weathers

Creatine is one of the most popular body building supplements out there, and so naturally there are a lot of questions about what are the proper ways to use it. The other problem is that you'll get different answers from different sources! Let's go over a few of the different theories that are out there about how to use creatine supplements.

Creatine Loading and Cycling

If you've ever heard anything about using creatine supplements before then you've probably heard about the 'loading phase.' The idea behind loading is to saturate your muscles with a bunch of extra creatine and then try to maintain that saturation with the rest of the cycle. Typically, the standard loading phase would usually be to take up to 20g of creatine a day for 5 days, then move into a maintenance dose of 5g a day. These amounts depend on your body weight.

The common question is if it is really necessary. I'm sure supplement companies love the loading phase approach because by the time you're done with your loading phase you've pretty much gone through your first bottle of creatine!

I've read all sorts of articles that suggest that if you use creatine supplements long term you will get the same benefit as loading. A lot of individual users have also found that it probably isn't necessary either.

There are a lot of variations out there on how to cycle creatine supplements. I found one interesting twist on the creatine loading cycle idea from MuscleHack.com. He tried a technique that involved loading for 3 days, abstaining for 3 days, and repeating that cycle over and over again. The idea being that if you cycle in this way you will maintain a higher level of creatine concentration in the muscles over time.

In the end, I don't really know which way is best. This is one area where you should experiment and see which method reacts the best with your body.

When to Take Your Creatine Supplements

This was my first question when I started using creatine. The standard suggestion has often been to take creatine soon after your workout (unless you are doing a standard loading phase, then you would take it throughout the day).

But there are variations to this standard approach as well. For example, if you're going with the 3 days on 3 days off approach suggested by MuscleHack Mark McManus, you would take creatine before your workout, after your workout, and then at least 2 other times throughout the day. You really have to load up on a cycle like that.

Once again, it would seem that you will need to experiment and see what works best for you and your body.

In Conclusion

My intent in writing this article was not to come out with some kind of ultimate solution as to what is the best way to use creatine supplements. As you can see, there are several different approaches that different people have found to work. The only best solution is whatever works for you. So do some testing and you'll find out soon enough! - 17268
